Rated 6/10
The songs are all a bit repetitive, but they do all at least have a unique sound.

Rated 8/10
Some lovely country music with great voices and the always amazing pedal steel guitar. Some of the songs do sound a bit same-y though.
Some weird editing decisions here. A couple songs sound like they completely end before restarting with a completely different sound. Some just end seemingly in the middle of a line. Other than that, generic early rap.
Rated 6/10
Every song besides the opener kinda has the same jazzy sound. Not as varied and exciting as their debut album.
Rated 8/10
The hits are clearly the best songs on here, but there are a few other gems with some almost vaudevillian composition and instrumentation. The worst songs are the actual rockers; his voice just really doesn’t donut for me on those tracks.
Rated 6/10
One of the better rap albums on the list, with deep beats that draw you in to listen closely. I love the way their voices interplay constantly, and the lyrics are strange in a good way.
Rated 2/10
Can’t believe how bad this is knowing that he goes on to create Praise You and Rockafeller Skank.
Some of the most toothless “punk” music you’ll ever hear.
Rated 4/10
Just when I thought this Britpop crap couldn’t get any worse, they abandon the “pop” part and make a bunch of repetitive “alternative” music.
Rated 8/10
An 80s album that sounds distinctly of its era, but doesnt rely on synths and electronic drums. It instead relies on colorful lyrics, nice harmonies, and super clean production. Great stuff!
Rated 6/10
Not quite the old time country that I love, but not quite fully sterilized modern pop country either. She’s got a nice voice, but all the songs are very similar.
Rated 4/10
All the songs end up blending together. Nothing really stands out.
Rated 2/10
More forgettable, generic electronic music that sounds like it belongs in the menus of a forgettable, generic PS2 racing game.
Rated 4/10
Sloppy playing, inconsistent sound. The moments where they play double time and really kick up the energy are great, but they are relatively few and far between.
One of those rare albums that is greater than the sum of its parts. The vocals are terrible, the lyrics are cheesy, then instrumental work is absolutely forgettable, but it all comes together to express an attitude and a sound that is unforgettable.
Rated 6/10
Some generic 60s folky stuff, but also some super interesting tones and harmonies on display.
Rated 6/10
Very well-produced and well-performed. Nice variety of rock sounds.
Rated 4/10
Another live album that doesn’t do anything that a studio album couldn’t do better. Play it loud.
Rated 6/10
A few funky, Talkng Heads-esque tracks. A couple forgettable mid-paced New Wave tracks.
Rated 6/10
One of the better electronic albums of the project. Nice, chill, ambient vibe.
