Some of the most beautiful vocal harmonies you’ll ever hear, performing heartbreaking songs of death and heartbreak.

Every song kinda sounds the same, with the finger picking and the nasally voice and the rambling lyrics. Can be a bit of a vibe at moments.

Really like the concept, and love all the appreciation for Southern rock, but the actual music is way too repetitive and same-y for how long the record is.

Classic hip hop, no sex skit. Just fine.

Really don’t get why this album is on the list. Such middle-of-the-road rock music.

Pretty standard hip hop stuff. At least there’s no weirdly sexual skit in the middle, so that automatically bumps it up a star.

These Gen X slacker rock albums are all so lame. It’s not cool to sound bad on purpose.

Does there really need to be this many PJ Harvey albums on this project?

Way too droning and repetitive. Almost achieves a sort of trance-like appeal, but falls short of being actually appealing.

The first track is kind of a waste of time, but the rest of it is real good! The extended instrumentals draw you in in a way that extended instrumentals usually don’t.

Not a lot to say about this. Nice 2000s vibe.

Not as incredible as The Bends, but still pretty good. They start getting into the repetitive droning, but don’t make it the whole album. Very well-produced with a nice variety of styles.

Guy is not a good enough singer or player to carry a whole album by himself.

Very generic and forgettable. What is this even doing on this list?

I thought this album would be all synthy BS, but there are some genuine rockers here.

Nice variety of sounds and styles, but all the tracks are still recognizably Jack White. Perfect runtime.

If any double album in history doesn’t need to be a double album, it’s this one. There’s a handful of songs with actual musical merit, but it’s mostly out of tune and out of rhythm. Bad stuff.

Finally, an old school gangsta rap album that doesn’t feature a cringe-inducing sexual interlude with moaning. I appreciate how unapologetically brutal this album is. You don’t ever get the feeling that these guys aren’t really about this life. Great rhymes and beats.

Classic Gen X slop. They’re too cool to care how the album sounds.

Between the worst opener and closer I’ve ever heard on an album are a bunch of other pretty bad songs.
