I was very excited to see the cover of this album because I love roller coasters! This would be an interesting album to listen to while riding a roller coaster, but other than that, it's not good. I never got into it. Not the type of hip hop I like.

It's just not exactly what I like. The album is fine. It's a different approach than I've heard in music before. It's dark and slow, but also synth heavy and electronic. There's nothing bad about it, just gets a little boring I think.

Yeah so that was kind of awful. Post-hardcore is such a good genre and I just don't think this is what I want from the genre and I really don't know why. The vocals aren't good first of all. Everything else is fine, but I guess it can't save the album

This is bad. Sometimes I can almost hear a beautiful voice in front of amazing instrumental performances, but then I listen a bit closer and hear awful moaning, flat notes, weird rambling and annoying instrument playing.

Speakerboxxx: 4/5

After I heard the first song, I thought I would be in for 2 hours of torture, but then immediately, I started getting into and I ended up really liking this half of the album. A few songs are amazing and only a couple are not very good. The interludes were all pretty fun and it gives a good break. This side isn't even an hour long, the other half is just really long. Speaking of...

The Love Below: 2/5

I'm not enjoying this one as much. At the time of writing, I'm about 1/3 of the way through because it's about to give me another album and I want to put this into writing right now. I just don't love this style of music as much as Speakerboxxx. We'll see how the rest goes. So, the rest was just about the same. Hey Ya is very different from the rest of this album. I like that song, but not much from the rest.

I averaged out the albums for my final rating. It's good at times, not so much at others. I don't mind it being so long especially when it gets broken up by interludes.

I mean, it's alright. The vocals aren't great. The electronics are cool. It isn't boring, maybe I just don't see the vision.

This is insanely boring. There are really no redeeming qualities to it. It's not bad, just boring. Nothing is wrong about this album, but 51 minutes is far too many.

I didn't expect to like this, but it's great. I see why she is one of the most reference artist in modern music. My favorites were The Pros and Princess of the Posse. A lot of people mentioned it being dated. Maybe, but good music doesn't have to be dependent on a time period. This is great no matter when you listen.

I had pretty high hopes for this album. I already knew Black Hole Sun and Spoonman. I like both of those, but really the rest of the songs were just ok. Mailman might have become one of my least favorite songs on the generator so far. Still a fine album, but I wasn't impressed.

I don't know what style of rock I'd call this. It's nothing groundbreaking, but it's easy to listen to, definitely easy to come back to. It's also just good music. I might check out more from this band in the future

I wasn't the most impressed. Tom Petty is a huge name in music, so I expected something better. He just kind of mumbles his way through this with some solid instrumentals behind him. It did end on 2 really good tracks though. I am surprised none of their other albums made the cut for this list, but I would give them a listen. This album at least showed me that Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers can make good music. Sure, they didn't do that the whole time on this album, but it showed glimpse of what the band could be.

This album is full of annoying songs. Not all are annoying, but a lot of them are. Definitely brings the album down and it's not even that good to begin with. It's not boring. It's not entertaining either, though. At times, I wanted to like it, but most of the time I just wanted it to be over.

I think this is a really good album, but it's just not my exact preference. I would watch this as a musical, definitely. It's intriguing. It follows an interesting story and definitely kept me entertained the whole time. I would recommend this, but probably wouldn't listen again.

Rated 10/10

Metal is not my favorite genre, but for me this feels just like the type of rock I usually listen to. It's not so metal that it's unlistenable, but it is distinct. I already knew a few songs and they are as good as ever. The album as a whole is amazing. The singing is really good and the instrumentals are amazing. Just a really good album.

This is a trip. It really takes you all over the place. Maybe that's not a good thing, but I kinda liked it. It never got boring. It's hard to do that when half of the songs are about a minute long. Some elements were very pop, but a lot leaned more towards rock. I need to listen to more music by Todd Rundgren.

Rated 8/10

This was really good. I would definitely give this another listen. It's really not much, but what is here is done really well. It doesn't get boring to me. Just some good music.

I have always been a hater of Green Day. My favorite genre is very similar to this type of music, but that means it has to be done right for me to like it. Blink-182, My Chemical Romance, Rancid. These are bands that take on a similar genre and do it right for the most part. To me, American Idiot is very boring, annoying and pointless. I used to love Boulevard of Broken Dreams and a few other songs from other albums, but they have fallen out of grace with me. The more music I like, the more I get to listen to. I don't want to dislike any album, but sometimes we get American Idiot and I have no choice. Also, I hate how they mash songs together for seemingly no reason. I guess there's a concept here that I definitely didn't follow. Maybe that has something to do with it.
