I appreciate that she tried some different things on this, but holy cow is this boring and/or terrible every second of the way.

0.5/5.0

Swanky.

4.5/5.0

Completely forgettable album until the back half, which was significantly better. Still not sure why these guys get two albums on this list.

2.5/5.0: Mixed

Groan Baez

2.0/5.0

Clarkson's favorite album.

5.0/5.0

I used to think it was just modern country that sucked. I stand corrected. Thanks, George.

0.5/5.0

Super long, but the songwriting is impeccable.

4.5/5.0

Should've taken the master recordings into the lake with them.

2.0/5.0

Rudimentary, but that's a good thing in their genre. Songs themselves are a mixed bag.

2.5/5.0: Mixed

The first song was really bad, but the rest of this album is kind of groovy in an Nick Cave way. Still, 78 minutes is too long for this kind of thing. I could've listened to Dopesmoker 1.24 times instead.

2.5/5.0: Mixed

This album almost caused me to buy checked trousers some years back.

5.0/5.0: Iconic

I listened to this a long time ago and hated it. I was interested to see what I would think of Korn after so many years away, but this is honestly terrible. The riffs are incredibly basic, the mix is cheesy, the lyrics are cheesy, and the album is catastrophically long. There's almost nothing of the technicality and inventiveness that makes the best metal shine. In other words, its Nu metal.

0.5/5.0

More completely boring and done-to-death folk slop from Neil Young. The only positive to come out of this is Type O Negative's cover of Cinnamon Girl, which is light years better than the original.

This album is a two, but it's getting a Spite One for not being the first forgettable Neil young album I've had on this list.

1.0/5.0

Competent songwriting with good melodies, if a little too britpoppy. Also, about 3 too many songs.

3.0/5.0: Good

My first act as Supreme World Leader will be to outlaw all country music and erase its memory from the Earth.

1.5/5.0

This was good and unique, but not always interesting.

3.0/5.0: Good

This was good, and it's cool it was the first concept album.

3.0/5.0: Good

No apologies here; the traditional/medieval sounding folk is the best folk, not that there aren't nods to blues and rock on this. Enjoyed this all the way through.

4.0/5.0

Fun at first but far too long to really enjoy.

2.0/5.0

R.I.P. Dolly, but this is hit or miss all the way through. Shoutout to her incredible vocals (as well as Harris and Ronstadt), but some of the songs just aren't enjoyable as songs, regardless of performance.

2.5/5.0
