"Satanic Reverses" would've been a favorite of mine back when this was released. It's a damn shame I missed out on this album at the time. "Television the Drug of the Nation" is another highlight.
First track to last, this is a classic.
Nick Drake is amazing, and this album is the perfect tool to level you during a stressful day.
REALLY good. I've heard the band off and on, of course, but this is the first time I've sat down and closely listened to an album as a whole.
Went into this blind and discovered an artist I'd never heard. I really recommend.
The back half of the album was solid - first half was uneven aside from the two well-known hits. I was surprised by how much I liked "Hold Back the Rain" and "New Religion."
I quite enjoyed this. I've long avoided The Smiths because Morrissey is a cunt, and I was a little young to appreciate them when they came out, but the album as a whole was very listenable.
The album sounds like classic rock radio used to sound when I was a kid. There's a reason for this, I'm sure. Bad Company had obvious influences from Led Zeppelin to Cream to Deep Purple, but they made the sound their own.
Jangly electronic rock. I went into this blind, knowing Blue Monday but very little else. It was fun, and I can see why this is an important album, but I wasn't in the right mood for it.
Not really for me, but I can appreciate the artistry.
This album is a classic. Pretty much any latter-day GenX kid had it, or had a friend with it. Listening back, I can find seven or eight songs that have been on mixtapes of mine, and at least three that have been on recent playlists (within the past few years). Definitely a whole album worth listening to.

This was nice as background music. If I had been in a different mood, it would have definitely hit better.
Pretty standard mid-90s rock. The songs are okay, the music is okay. Not really list-worthy.
It's okay. Kind of atmospheric Enya-esque pop. It's good background noise.
Like the Pumpkins' album I saw earlier, this one was a staple for anyone in school when I was. It's a classic, and the songs are amazing. Kim Thayil's guitar sound is unique, and Chris Cornell's voice is unmistakable.
I wonder how great this album would have been with modern indie production.
Not for me at all.
REALLY good. I've heard the band off and on, of course, but this is the first time I've sat down and closely listened to an album as a whole.

It's not their best. It's got some good Willie Dixon covers, though.
This album has always been a favorite.
The signature Wu Tang sound permeates this album, and Method Man's attitude comes through in every track.

Strong start with the title track, and I'd never heard their excellent version of "Wild Mountain Thyme" before. The rest of the album sounds like a Byrds album. Definitely worth listening to when you're in the right mood.
This sounds like the kind of horrible jangly trash that dicks who work in record stores like to recommend just because it's obscure. Some music deserves obscurity.
A middling album from a great band.
An excellent bridge between eras of popular music from a versatile performer.
The songs on this album are well-crafted pop music. Heck, "Four Seasons in One Day" feels very much like it could have been a Beatles song, and other highlights such as "Weather With You" and "Fall at your Feet" still holding up today.
It's okay. Not really my thing, but I can understand why people like it.
Amazing album. I've always loved it.
Easy to listen to. I love the songwriting.
Top to bottom amazing album. Underrated sleepers are "I'm the One" and "Ice Cream Man."
Jangly and fun. Easy to listen to.
I'm not an electronic music guy. I can appreciate the artistry, but it's not really for me.
Of the mid-60s transition Beatles albums, I prefer Rubber Soul, but this one is still a masterpiece.
It's an album I've listened to regularly since it came out. What more can I say?
A great, great album.
Early Beatles isn't the best, but it's still amazing.
