RevolverThe Beatles

Rated 10/10

Not a lot to say about Revolver that hasn't already been said - I just wish I was alive to hear Tomorrow Never Knows when it came out. What did my grandmother think?

Torn here. There were some moments I really liked, but some that reminded me of Joanna Newsom & Geordie Greep (not as a complement). Seemed super self-indulgent. A 3 seems fair

Rated 8/10

Pre-rant actual album review: This is a very well made album in the same vein as Blonde. Love the minimalism, and Sza has great vocals. Great features too. Not my absolute favorite so not a 5, but a very solid 4, and something I’d suggest people listen to.
Rant: What is it about rap made post-2010 (with exception for Kendrick, god bless) that makes this website lose its collective mind? I have no clue. This review section is OBSCENE!!!! I thought Channel Orange was bad, but holy shit. God forbid a black woman sings about sex every once in a while, you’d think there was straight sexting happening on some of these tracks. I’d love to see these old white British boomers’ opinions on Iggy Pop singing about how bad he wants to fuck teenagers. Oh wait - THAT ALBUM IS RATED A 3.5!!!!!!
The fact that this has a 2.92 (as of the time of writing, praying future reviewers will be kinder) is incredibly shocking. This is actually interesting and a welcome switch up compared to the umpteenth 80s britpop slop that shows up once a week. Fuck.

Short, not very sweet. Liked the front better than the back - am familiar with the title track so that was nice - but it seemed to lose focus after a while. Not the worst I've ever heard, worse psych on this list by a mile, but not worthy of being here.

Someday I'm going to make my own 1001 albums you must listen to list, and I'm gonna put a bunch of shitty 2010s pop and niche indie folk just to spite all of the goddamn forgettable new wave and britpop slop I've had to endure on this list

MILES better than Frank, and truly a work of art. So much great soul on here, and a testament to what she would’ve been if she stayed alive. Easy 5

BossanovaPixies

Rated 4/10

Thank god this is the last pixies album. I'm not sure how they get such critical praise on this website, their indie rock seems derivative at best and screamy/whiney at worst. Much better music on this list.

I enjoyed this more than I thought I would - really interesting with the time it came out. Seems to be the antithesis of stadium rock and disco. Plus a few good deep cuts in here (52 girls, Lava) plus the obvious Rock Lobster. 3 stars
