Rated 4/10
One of the most overhyped bands ever. Every song sounds like it’s being sung by someone with a speech impediment or a mental deficiency. There’s about 1 song’s worth of good moments throughout an hour-long album.
Rated 8/10
Very nice country-adjacent indie. Nice variety of sounds and tempos. Maybe a bit long.
Rated 6/10
A couple good, funky songs, but mostly slow, forgettable ballads. Very well-produced.
Rated 6/10
The first few minutes really felt like they were building up to something exciting, but each side of the album is more like a series of vignettes than a coherent, continuous composition. Bit of a let down.
Rated 6/10
A couple excellent songs, but mostly songs that just exist.
Rated 6/10
It’s AC/DC; you know what you’re going to get. They do it well.
Rated 6/10
Some absolute killer bass lines can’t quite save the generic 80s sound. The orchestral flares are nice, but the vocal reverb and gated drums are just so corny.
Rated 6/10
Some nice sounds, but the songs are a bit repetitive, and the whole thing feels a bit soulless.
Rated 6/10
Can’t believe people go crazy for this guy. It’s just a bunch of rockabilly, and he doesn’t even sing, just kinda talk-shouts the lyrics. People really take this seriously?
Rated 8/10
As much as I love Simon & Garfunkel, they’re definitely a “best of” group. Every full album I’ve listened to in this project has just had a couple major stinkers.
Started out really liking this, but as each new song sounded exactly the same as the last, it became stale.
Very thin beats with pointless lyrics. Kinda missing the 2 things that make hip hop worth listening to.
Rated 4/10
Strange combination of rock with horns and goofy vocals with laughable lyrics. Every song is too long and repetitive.
Rated 6/10
Wasn’t expecting to like this after the first song, but the sound is strangely alluring. All the songs kind of hit the same note though, and her voice is quite pitchy.
Rated 6/10
A rare case where I’m docking points for an album doing too much instead of not enough. Every song is this huge epic that builds and builds and builds again after you think it’s ending. Some might get a kick out of that, but it’s just not what I listen to music for.
Some great songs, but they don’t feel quite as interesting and varied as contemporary releases by The Beatles.
Rated 10/10
Killer riffs. Every band member is embellishing, but never overplaying, and never coming out of sync. Ozzy’s voice is so unique and fits the music perfectly.
Rated 6/10
If the first track was as good as the other 3, this could’ve been something great. The first track just sucks so bad.
Rated 10/10
The harmonies, the instrumentation, the tales of heartbreak and revenge, the pastoral nostalgia, this album is just an absolute treat to listen to from the first moment to the last.
Rated 8/10
Stairway is undoubtedly one of the greatest songs ever written, but there are a couple stinkers on this album. Four Sticks is a terrible song.
