Rated 8/10
Can definitely tell that this is the leftovers from Kid A, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, I did really enjoy kid A, definitely is a weaker album however but not by a lot Feels less "cinematic" than Kid A did and that there is more of a focus on the lyrics If this album is just kid B like a lot of people say, I'm surprised the Pyramids got left off the first release (4/5)
Rated 6/10
Nothing inherently wrong with this album, it was entertaining to listen to but not a lot drawing me back either. Pretty mid really 2.5
Rated 2/10
didnt really enjoy this on AM top 100 either, maybe the message is just missed on me but i just felt like this dragged a lot. I say this as someone who would actively describe themselves as "woke" but this kinda feels like its here because its "woke" and not because its a good album. i find the songs to be just a bit boring and dont really enjoy her voice that much
1/5
Rated 6/10
Did think meatloaf was a metal band so this was a bit of a surprise. This is quite theatrical, and I do recognise some of the songs already from my mum singing single lines from them lol

Rated 8/10
Pretty sure putting a bunch of really good songs surrounded by some filler songs is actually a jojo reference
3.5
Rated 6/10
Can’t decide if I actually like Joni Mitchell, I think some of the songs on here are truly beautiful, like all I want and river. But then others just sort of toe the line between being beautiful and a little irritating like my old man. I can also appreciate how influential it was though 3
Yeah this is another scenario where I can appreciate the relevance and its place on the list but the music is just not for me. Nothing about this is bad per se but I just don’t get it and won’t be returning again (1/5)
Rated 4/10
I feel pretty split on bjork, when I heard the homogenic album as part of the AM top 100 I really couldn’t decide if I actually liked it or not. I do really like her feature on Lux so I’m willing to give her another go (I imagine I’ll have to as there are presumably several of her albums on here) but I don’t think I like this as much as homogenic 2
Rated 6/10
Not sure what I think of this, some strong songs on here like Valentine’s Day and the stars, but also some that are a little generic. Not sure there’s a lot that would bring me back to this. 3
Rated 8/10
really carried by the good songs, where is my mind is maybe a top 10 song ever and gigantic is a tune too. maybe i need to listen to this more but i felt the rest of the album was a little samey? felt pretty similar on the frank black album, maybe his stuff just isnt for me idk
would probably rate this at least a point lower if it werent for where is my mind
3.5
Rated 8/10
Lyrics are fun, cheeky, and very sexual. Makes the listener feel like they're "fucking someone else's wife" (thematic vibes). Surprised, expected just another Britpop album but really enjoyed it. Easy listens throughout, even the unfamiliar tracks. (3.5/5)
Rated 8/10
Classic for a reason, the raps and flows on this are insanely good
Some of the hooks let it down a little, like The World Is Yours becomes a little grating
(4/5)
Rated 8/10
Little too artsy I think, I think for the time I can see why it was popular but I think it’s trying too hard? Some of the songs just don’t need to be that long. But I did really enjoy most of the songs until I felt like they started dragging so this could maybe grow on me as well. Do feel like I need to deduct and entire point for Moonchild unfortunately

Rated 6/10
Good and entertaining but did not do a whole lot for me. Had heard Ace of Spades before and it still slaps.
Rated 8/10
Most of the songs are really great if you actually listen listen to them, but having them on in the background, a lot of the non bangers just sort of blur into the background. A lot of them feel like they have been playing for ages but when checking they are only like 4 minutes long. RYM reviews complain about Jamaica Jerk Off and Your Sister Can not Twist but did not think they were that bad. (3.5/5)
Rated 8/10
Definitely sounds better with headphones on, listened in the car also and it just didnt hit the same. Not sure exactly what i was expecting with this, idk if this was it. Did really enjoy it, i think this could grow on me still also (4/5)
Rated 6/10
Highway to Hell is an absolute banger but the rest of the album feels a little too samey, like it's just 10 highway to hells with different lyrics. 3/5
Rated 10/10
Had pretty high expectations for this going in as it was quite high on my backlog and I had heard a few people hyping it up. Didn’t disappoint at all, a lot of the songs sound really similar but not in a bad way more that it just flows really well together

Rated 6/10
Had higher expectations going in. Some good songs — Light My Fire is a banger — but the lyrics are a bit bad overall and it drags on longer than necessary. The End is WAY too long. 3/5
Rated 2/10
Not for me. Liked some stuff on Wilmot and Tow Truck but all of the songs could be half the length they are. 1.5/5
