To everyone who's not impressed with this album, I want YOU to try playing guitar this good when the tips of your fingers are missing.

God, this was so generic. The singer's voice was super weird, and I couldn't even understand what he was singing. Supposedly it was something super witty, but the random mumbling that I heard was nonsensical. The songs were kind of bland and definitely not innovative or creative. 'Marquee Moon' is apparently the highlight, but I don't get what so many people like about 10 minutes of annoying meandering.

This was the rare combination of both boring and cheesy. Boring music can still be good, and cheesy music can still be fun, but boring AND cheesy is neither good NOR fun. So basically I want those 37 minutes back.

this album is so good it made me sing Sweet Child o Mine with my family while I was driving and I almost crashed into an oncoming car because I had to tell my wife she was flat

Whoa. There's so many classics on one album. It's such a fun time playing the whole thing out and it should have even been longer. There's only one real way to describe it: it rocks.

Pretty good for jazz is still just okay for regular music. It all sounds the same about two songs in, and it gets pretty boring. Maybe I'm just traumatized from having two jazz albums in a row and fearing a third.

"The horror... the horror!!!!"

I would have so hired them to play at my school's dance in 1987.

Unfortunately for The Jesus and Mary Chain, I am no longer judging music by 1987 school dance standards.

This album is uplifted by the phenomenal 'Sympathy for the Devil' and 'Street Fighting Man', which are both some of the finest work by the Stones. There's a lot of excitement within these two songs, but the others kind of all sound similar and are a tad boring. They're all good, no doubt. It's just that the momentum doesn't continue.

Pretty groovy stuff. The tunes are fun, the instruments are funky, the sound is very rich. It's exactly what you'd want out of a Brazilian funk album.

The good thing about this album project is that I get to discover music I didn't even know was my thing.

The bad thing about this album project is that I get to discover music I didn't ever want to know was a thing.

Probably the least annoying British punk rock album I've had to listen to. It falls short of bring an officially great album because just about every song sounds the same, and there's not a whole lot of substance, but they're decent musicians. They can actually play instruments really well and create musical harmony, which I realize sounds like a bare minimum for music, but most punk rockers don't even get this far. The average punk band is too concerned with rebellion that they don't even bother to make something that resembles music, but the Adverts are able to balance their rebellious spirit with actual music. It's fun to listen to, and it's not something I have to force myself to find positives with.

Dancin' around in their underwear. That is so degrading.

I'm beginning to think I can make an album and it will get put on this list.

Wow finally an album where almost every song is famous. And in my opinion they're good, too. Really good. They all come together to create the PERFECT '70s vibe. Not overdone or too groovy. Just truly stuff people would have listened to back then. And there's a full album of it. OK maybe the two deep cuts weren't that great. But I was more than willing to put up with them for the 7 good ones.

Classic Stevie. He's got a hell of a voice and knows how to use it. I heard everything from groovy, relaxing, empowering, funky, and political in the course of an hour and forty five minutes. Of course, the headliners are 'Sir Duke' and 'Isn't She Lovely', but there's plenty of deeper dives here, including 'I Wish', 'Pastime Paradise', 'Another Star', and 'Ebony Eyes'. I guess the most important part is that it's good enough for Coolio.

This is actually a decent album and I was not expecting that. But I don't think he's sexy.

Mediocrity at its finest. It's almost excruciating how mediocre it is. Almost. There's something about it that's still a lot better than a ton of the shit I've had to listen to with this website.

Honestly this is a really strong debut. It starts off pretty okay with 'Rockin' Around With You', gets really good with 'Breakdown', has a few ups and downs in between, and ends very strong with the fantastic 'American Girl'. It does have some '70s rock cheese, but that doesn't hinder the overall quality or experience of listening to it.

bruh no one warned me I was gonna need ear plugs
