RamonesRamones

Rated 5/10

Sometimes, simplicity is good. The Romones are a straight forward, in your face, all gas no brakes type of band.

The problem that comes with this, is all the songs sound the same. So honestly it’s an internal debate for me. But personal bias, I like the Ramones.

TuskFleetwood Mac

Rated 3/10

Definitely not my favourite Fleetwood record. It’s hard to listen to their best work (Rumours) and then listen to something like this and be like “wow this is great!” It’s like eating the freshest grape straight from the vine where it’s crispy, juicy, and then eating a raisin being like “yeah they’re the same thing”. This album is the raisin.

Number of the Beast is one of my fave songs from Iron Maiden. The album as a whole is okay. They’re definitely a better singe maker than they are album makers, which seems to be a trend in most “old-school” metal bands

I don’t think I really cared about any of these songs. Fundamentally they are fine, I just thought they had no character. Nothing that defined it as intriguing but instead just something safe and easy.

TommyThe Who

Rated 3/10

I like The Who. I did not like this album. I feel like this took away from The WHO that I know and love. It’s an interesting album, and something I’m sure was an artistic venture for someone in the group. But I miss The Who.

First of all, it should be illegal to create a 3 hour album with 6 discs. It should then be more illegal to include this type of album on this list to force everyone to listen to it.

Quite literally the definition of “Throw enough wet paper balls see what sticks”. Everyone should QA their songs and just weed out the ones that don’t fit in a collection of songs or just aren’t as well put together.

Live update, currently about to finish Disc 3 which is only HALF WAY THROUGH. I don’t know if I’m going to make it… the urge to listen to something else is very strong.

All these songs are foot tappers, but they’re all not necessary for 1 album. Half way through Disc 4 and I gotta tap out. I need to listen to something else.

Kudos to anyone who made it all the way through. But because I couldn’t, it gets a 1.

MaskBauhaus

Rated 1/10

Man I was really not vibing with this album at all. I’m not even sure if there was anything in here that made me think this was good. No redeeming qualities. Hated it. Counting the seconds until it ended.

Kinda overrated album to be honest but maybe that’s just my opinion since I don’t understand the time period in which it came out? Maybe it was revolutionary at the time? Maybe it’s just pop culture that took the album and carried away with it?

It’s not a bad album by any means, it’s just not this mind blowing record that everyone else seems to make it out to be.

Faust IVFaust

Rated 1/10

Nope.

I couldn’t wait for this album to be over. Way too artsy-fartsy for me. How do you listen to “It’s a bit of a Pain” and not want to blow your ear drums out. Oh, you don’t have to, Faust does it for you with that obnoxiously loud … noise.

Terrible record. Not for me

Rated 5/10

I enjoyed the blend of African and Cuban music. Although it became a bit repetitive by the end of the album. Still, fun listen

1969, the guitar sounds weirdly off time and I can’t tell if it’s intentional or not.

I actually didn’t really like this album and I have no idea why.

The Yes AlbumYes

Rated 5/10

There’s always a fine line for prog rock between pretentious and cool music. This really walks that line but maybe that was also for the time period since bands like Metallica were doing hard cut overs for transitioning between sections.

Anyway, overall it was alright.

I didn’t think this was too bad, especially considering that I’ve poorly rated previous albums of similar genres from this list. This one was more upbeat and I really enjoyed the guitar tone

Wtf did I just listen to? A compilation of high school recordings? Some songs are actually not too bad with decent melodies and other songs are just atrocities to my ears.

What the hell is with the choice to include snoring noises in Ex-Supermodel?
Why does he sound like he’s under water in Chicken Blows. Not to mention the random volume in the backing vocals. How did these recordings pass QA?

The few selection of good tunes saves this album from being a 1/5

I said this about a few albums now but it’s really a tale of two halves. First half was incredible. The soundscape was amazing. It produced really well and then it got the second half and I just felt like the album fell flat.
