This wasn't nearly as bad as the other PJ Harvey album on this list. I still don't think I want to hear it again, but it was much less "indie experimental" than the last and a bit more rock oriented. 2.5/5

This was not good. There were some decent elements, but then they found a way to repeat them until they were annoying. 2/5
Rated 8/10
For an album of covers, this is really good. The delivery of Hurt is always powerful to me and he brings that to many other songs on here. I liked it. 4/5
Rated 2/10
My god this was rough. Why did this make this list? There were a few moments here and there that weren't bad, but overall it was pretty terrible. 1.5/5
Rated 4/10
Not bad, but kind of repetitive at times. Kept waiting for it to end by the end of the album. I've still heard much worse. 2/5
The music wasn't bad and some was actually really impressive aside from the occasional trumpet squeaks and squeals. However, I could've done without every "Duke does something" track; I skipped every one of those. Way too long due to the banter. Could've been a 4, but 3/5 instead.

I'm not a fan of rap, but as far as rap goes, this wasn't terrible. 2/5
Rated 6/10
Decent album. I liked the instrumentals more than the vocals, but the vocals worked. There's probably a few songs I'd want to hear again. 3/5
Rated 8/10
I actually really enjoyed this, more so than any of the Beach Boys music. Well composed and well delivered, I thought his voice fit very well with this style. I'd listen to this again. 4/5

This wasn't bad, it was just kind of bland rock to me. Unlikely to return even though it might need a few more plays to click. 2.5/5
Rated 8/10
This isn't typically my kind of music, but I really dig this--well, most of it. Some songs would be ones I'd skip if I listen again, but there's some really good stuff on here. 4/5
Rated 8/10
This was pretty good. I liked the style, it wasn't too it there, but different enough to keep my attention throughout. I'd probably listen to this again. 4/5
Rated 4/10
Not really a fan of this. The music wasn't bad, but I wasn't a fan of the vocals sometimes and the song writing--mainly the lyrics--was stupid. Vambo Marble Eye was pretty good, but the rest could be forgotten in my opinion. 2/5
Rated 8/10
Probably one of the more interesting albums that didn't about the crap or if me. Chill at parts, weird at others, but pretty good overall. 4/5

I really enjoyed this. Kurt had a great voice for the style and put a lot into his music. 4.5/5
Rated 4/10
Not really a fan of this one, but at least I could make it through the album which is a step up from the last Beck album that I encountered on this list. 2/5
Rated 6/10
A rather weird album, but not really that bad. Not necessarily my thing, but I could find elements that I enjoyed and it wasn't annoying. 3/5
Rated 8/10
Nu-metal isn't really my thing, but this was actually pretty decent. Some of Korn's style annoys me a little, but there was quite a bit here that I enjoyed. 4/5
Rated 6/10
I liked this. Chill and interesting piano for an hour. There were some random moans or something that was a little weird, but overall rather enjoyable. 3.5/5
Rated 6/10
Not bad, but as it's Radiohead, it's kinda boring to me. 3/5
