Wasn't a fan. A lot of the lyrics sounded super dated and it just didn't click for me. 1.5/5

Need to give this another listen I think, could grow on me

Eh

2

Nothing groundbreaking but nothing offensive either, sounds a lot like Metallica, not sure which came first

3

does feel like im listening to a musical sound track for a musical ive not heard before

Do think that this could grow on me though, may have to come back it

if this came to a theatre near me as a musical i would strongly consider going to see it...

Highlights: title track, in the cage, carpet crawlers, it

Lowlights: the waiting room

really good, prefer this to neon bible from the first listen. i feel like im not normally one to notice when the "mixing is off" but i think the mixing on this isnt great? the vocals feel way to quiet on some songs?

Probably not going to happen due to the controversies around the band but a remaster of this would be pretty epic

Enjoyed how this flows as an album as well, it wasn’t every track but the transitions between a lot of tracks worked very well

Some good ideas in here that have all been executed in the most annoying way possible.

When I’m sleepy… however was not one of those, that was an awful idea that was executed in the most annoying way possible.

2

Some proper bangers on here, I forget how many good songs are on this album. Without checking I would’ve said “American idiot” and “wake me up when September ends” but holiday, boulevard of broken dreams and Jesus of suburbia (I forget every time how long this song actually is lol) also all slap

Second half definitely does fall off a bit though, after give me novocaine, September is like the only non forgettable song imo

4

didnt hate it as much as i remembered hating it from the AM top 100, but still not sure how much i actually enjoyed it

i think its just not my thing

2.5

some nice tunes with some great riffs, im just not sure there enough to bring me back to this. i do kinda think that if this was in english it would be a lot more popular but as an ignorant english speaker this is less accessible to me

2.5

one of the albums of all time for sure

nothing offensive but very forgettable, really not sure why its on this list. sounds like a bunch of bad oasis songs but also if oasis were from liverpool

#751 from 1999 on RYM is kinda hilarious, its struggling to make the 1001 albums from 1999 but its somehow on the 1001 albums list??

2

all of the tracks on here go crazy hard. obviously the well known hits slap but even the other tracks id not heard before are also great. few too many skits and interludes for my liking but think this was just a thing of the time this came out so i kinda feel like its maybe unfair to knock it down from a 5 just cause of this?

outkast are really consistent its pretty nuts, kinda shocked aquemini isnt on this list tbh

5

Really enjoyed this from the get go. I added this to my to listen to list even though I knew this was in here but I wanted to listen to it early so kinda funny it came up a few days later.

Really lived up to the hype, will be back to this very soon

5

Didn’t really enjoy this and not really sure why it’s in here tbh, the vocals were kinda annoying.

Kudos at least for making a song called I’m cramped given the context I guess though

1.5

Yeah it was fine, I was expecting less tbh from the short track lengths. I thought nothing was going to be “fleshed out” enough but all of the songs get right into it and don’t waste a single beat

Some entertaining stuff but not a lot that was particularly memorable

3

was really looking forward to hearing this and it was absolutely nothing like what i was expecting. i loved it and each of the songs were growing on me more after each listen (aside from maybe sue)

feel like this is what BCNR were trying to recreate with Ants from up there

4.5

really beautiful renditions of some classic songs, i think his version of hurt is better than NiNs and im pretty on the fence of his vs the beatles of in my life

second half of the album does fall off a little bit though

4

Basically just Daft Punk if they were French. And Good.

The whole thing flows really nicely with transitions between songs happening seamlessly. I normally struggle to get into electronic music but I've thoroughly enjoyed this from the first listen.

4.5

doesnt have the same pop feel that the music is "for everyone", feels like this is trying to make a deeper connection with a smaller subset of people that im not sure im one of. its all good music and i wouldnt complain going back to it but the most of the lyrics just dont really resonate with me. a little bit too much screaming on some songs maybe

2.5

More jazz, it’s “good” and I get why it’s on the list but it’s just not for me
