SO FUCKING ANNOYING

I can't fucking stand Freddie Mercury. Yeah, he died of AIDs, it was sad, but his music still reaches new heights of obnoxious. All the attemots at being "eccentric" that end up laughable and contrived, the ridiculous production job hurt my teeth, the "opera rock fusion" bullshit that makes me want to hit children, it's all so terribly terrible

Great, now everybody's going to brand me a racist. I LOVE the title track, and the other two hits are nice, but the rest is just so boring and over dramatic. Critics pretend to think this is some supreme masterpiece because they don't want to seem rascist. Well, fuck off, I'm not racist, this just isn't all that great of an album. What I find most annoying is when people say this is "so relevant". How is some guy who's undoubtedly stoned out of his mind singing about how there's not enough "love" in the world relevant

Gil Scott-Heron's "Pieces of a Man" is the true masterpiece of soul

Basically any Beatles album could have worked here. I love alot of their music and, for what they are, they're a pretty enjoyable group, but the fact that critics seem to unanimously agree on the fact they're the best band ever is insulting and shows just how artistically illiterate people are

edit: "artistically illiterate"? lol I'm such a cunt. This album still sucks

To call this band annoying would be the equivalent of saying Hitler had minor prejudinces against the Jews. Everything they do seems calculated to piss the listener off, from the insufferable bass wankery ("Give It Away") to the faux emotional accoustic shit ("Under the Bridge"), this album is devoid of anything even vaguely resembling quality

An average pop album and nothing more. It's sugary, overproduced, and can even be pretty dam annoying

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh, I have some fond memories of this album so it's really hard for me to critisize, but god dam is it annoying

The fact that anyone would consider this self imporatant nonsense the supreme masterpiece of the hip hop genre makes me want to throw something

Okay, so I only made it past the first track, but it was so fucking annoying that I still would hate this even if every other track was a divine masterpiece. That annoying "you might win some but you just lost one" chant that goes on and on is so, I don't even know how describe it, I just hate it more than hate, well, basically anything

REM's debut, "Murmur", is a masterpiece, one of the best alt rock albums of all times. This however, is pretty meh. I really like alot of the stuff here, but then you have terrible songs like "Everybody Hurts" that just kill it

This is just a silly novelty album made for fun, yet so many critics have acclaimed as some sort of classic, I just don't get it

Four wonderful songs and nothing more. Critics acclaim this album simply on the basis that sold an ass load, but ignore an artist like Tim Buckley, that just makes me sad

I get a kick out of hearing this every now and then, but it's still a really dumb album. They basically made an album of being dumb and fast. Apparently this is the pinnacle of rock and roll for some people

I like this album, but fuck do I hate "Stairway to Heaven". Every second of that eight minutes just hurts and kills what is otherwise a good album. In addition to having that monstrosity, it's also not even close to being as good as their first two albums

Billy Corgan really makes himslef look like a fucking idiot. Overly indulgent rubbish. There's some great tracks here and there, but the big picture is a pretentious, overblown album that's trying way too hard to speak to "Generation X". I'm an angry teenager, this is not relateable, if you want proper alt rock that would speak to your teenage soul, pick up Let it Be (no, not the fucking Beatles, the Replacements), Violent Femmes, Pinkerton, or Spiderland instead

Okay, this wasn't even a fifth as bad as I remembered. It's actually decent, but I don't understand what makes it so much better than the rest of brit pop. Sure, the lyrics are smarter than the Oasis-types and "Common People" is a really great song, otherwise this isn't all to different in quality from the rest of the movement

I think Floyd are pretty overrated in general, but I do really enjoy Dark Side of the Moon and, to a lesser extent, the Wall. This, however, is utterly tedious

More of Dre killing hip hop with cheesy beats and absurd rhymes

258   7.7  

Pop rock nonsense, not punk. Refer to Stiff Little Fingers's "Inflammable Material" or X-Ray Spex "Germfree Adolescents" for proper punk rock. It's enjoyable I suppose, but the fact that Rolling Stone-type critics view this as some sort of revolution is dumb. A revolution against what, good vocals

The story behind what went into making the album is incredible. The music itself, tedious, very very tedious

Dookie was a really fun album, but this is pretty annoying

80's pop with weird ass tape loops is still 80's pop. The singles are pretty nice, the rest is just pretentious rubbish

edit: seriously, the singles are REALLY good. If this was just an ep, I'd love it, but the fact that bullshit like "Waking the Witch" and "Mother Stands for Comfort" is here ruins it

the Beastie's follow up, "Paul's Boutique", is one of the best hip hop albums ever made, a testament to what is possible in the genre. This was just an 80's rap joke that got taken to seriously

This is why people hate indie. This representse every stereotype about indie; that it's boring acoustic shit, that it's wimpy, tha it's made by people with no actual talent, that it's eclusively for skinny white 20-somethings, anything bad ever said about indie is on this

The whole "garage rock revival" movement that happened a few years back seems really pointless to me. I mean, garage rock happened back in the 60s, it was great, no need to bring it back. Still, I can't deny how much I enjoyed "Is This It", as well as this band's "White Blood Cells". "Elephant" is mostly just filler, though. "Seven Nation Army", despite being soooooo overplayed, is really great song, and "Black Math" is awesome too, everything else serves no purpose other than stretching this thing out to a whole disc

As much as Clapton pisses me off, I can't deny the title tack. It really does kick ass, especially that intro. One of the finest "classic rock" tunes out there. The rest of the album, with the exception of a few things like "Key to the Highway" and "Bell Bottom Blues", is totally forgettable

Phoney hipster garbage. Pitchfork loving idiots are gonna talk about how "emotional and heartfelt" this crap is, but any rational thinking human knows that this is boring, dickless, indie shit. It's like a collaboration between Jeff Buckley and Jeff Mangum if they lost all their talent to write good songs and convey real emotion

Fuck, this band really needs some self awareness. Every song here is a lyrical abomination, but the music is okay
