Rated 4/10
If AI existed in 1999 this would be the prompt....Hey we are some cool guys, but not traditionally cool, that just started a band. We really like Oasis and their vibe, I mean we are brothers too. Can you write us an album that fits our style?
Then they all looked at each other and said yeah this seems easy enough that we can all play it. And poof HMS Fable, another generic (likely pretentious full of themselves) britpop album was made.
Rated 8/10
I know a lot of people dislike U2 and think they are overplayed and over done and they probably are but I like them and I liked this album. It was rough around the edges and some songs felt a little blah and forced (So Cruel, Acrobat and Love is Blindness) but it tracks with the trouble they were having while writing the album. They have a sound that is their own (you know its U2). Its not just Bono's vocal but the guitar, drums, everything is uniquely them and I always really appreciate that about a band.
Rated 10/10
Iconic, classic, energy, beauty, grace and just full on bops. If you like music there is no reason not to love this one
Rated 6/10
It changes enough that I don't hate it, but it is still repetitive and just okay. If I was at a 2000's rave, feeling the beats and the music maybe, but for me its just okay. Santa Cruz was my favorite, but other than that they were just fine.
Rated 4/10
Background music that would have been playing too loud at Abercrombie or Express in the early 2000's. Something the kids shopping there never actually heard of but it made them feel cool. Now, its just a little boring and repetitive. Its not unpleasant but doesn't really keep me interested.
Rated 8/10
I really love sympathy for the devil and street fighting man. The rest were new and I really enjoyed then. They do a rock, blues style that works for them. Then they always add that choir
Rated 4/10
They are better than most metal to me but that's not saying much
Rated 6/10
I love imagine and I guess I thought the rest would be more powerful and meaningful. He felt more indifferent and annoyed. He seemed really unsure if everything except really really loving Yoko (that alone is something though, stand by your woman that the world turned against so completely for just existing!).
Rated 4/10
2002 review....I really like it, makes me want to get up and dance. He is so cute and Brittney did him wrong. He has a great voice and the production is awesome. 4/5
2026 review....ummm its catchy, Pharrell really knows how to write a catchy dance song and produce an album. Did Brittney really do him wrong or were they just young kids and he exploited her in a time when everyone thought he could do no wrong? Because your track record of being an advocate for females (justice for Janet) isn't great and would lead me to think you just figured out how to make yourself a bigger star. You are a bomb dancer but so were the other four guys you rose to fame with. Beyond the radio hits, I was bored 2.5/5
2002 Justin didn't know better and was living in a world that helped him thrive and he might not have known it. 2026 Justin is still living in a world that helps him thrive but now he knows it but acts like he (and he alone) are the reasons he is famous. The title of the albums seems to say it all....Justified, he feels Justified and I am not sure he should
Rated 6/10
It was quirky and a little more different then I realized. I enjoyed it, but would like to dive a little deeper to determine if they are just quirky or actually really good.
Rated 6/10
Pretty country, gave me some nostalgic vibe. But there is just something about the lyrics that makes it slightly less enjoyable then more popular song writers like Dolly. Sometime more obvious that at times just doesn't connect or flow as well.
Rated 4/10
Umm...I wanted to like it because of the protesty vibes that are even truer today than when this album was written. But man the screaming was just so hard to get over. Like can people who listen to this even understand what he is saying without reading the lyrcis??? The songs were short and for me a good length for a break in between, but there is little chance this will be part of my rotation or that I would ever search this out.
Good beats, good lyrics but nothing drew me in more than a slight shoulder bounce every once in a while.
Rated 6/10
I didn't mind it, it was relaxing chill and a good vibe. Was very spiritual and heartwarming. Not sure I would go back to it though, just isn't anytime music. Also each song was rather repetitive and very one note.
Rated 8/10
I enjoyed it. Not my favorite ray but still good
Rated 10/10
This was great...they are band that has stood the test of time for a reason
Rated 4/10
The guitar was great...but the lyrics were sub with this whole yelling but not yelling thing. And then jailbait....sorry not sorry you tanked your rating right there. It wasn't going to be great to begin with, but the guitar is at least really good so maybe that would have bumped it.
Rated 2/10
We all mean No means Yes....I don't really care if this is 'comedy.' Its a joke unless she means it right? Maybe I'll kill her...violence against women is hillarious. F@ck off man
I am really over this list and their need to promote disgusting men and disgusting 'jokes' as art. Its not funny...no means no, no more of this crappy men who think they are artsy and funny and that gives them license to be disgusting creatures. Also F@ck this project for encouraging people to listen to these albums and giving them a listens to their music that should be long forgotten.
Rated 4/10
It wasn't bad, just really boring and background music. Music I feel like would have been playing at Express back in the day. Thinking it was edgy and different but in retrospect just kind of there.
They have a fun upbeat sound that is different and unique. But nothing was amazing.
