Sounds like what Jesse Pinkman would listen to. But it’s varied enough to stay interesting at some points

Absolutely classic and important album, to me at least. The grooves on this album are superb and arrangement is everything. Everyone was on

Really surprised by this one, kept it fresh and interesting

Close to a 5. Great variety and interesting songwriting with non conventional chord structures

Best 007 album I’ve heard

Experimental Radiohead sound, not much more.

Appropriate for the time, not a bad album, just slightly tough to recall at the moment

Rocking and rolling with morrissey, who would want more

Couldn’t understand the words, but the music and melody conveyed a strong emotion

Pretty awesome what a guitar and drums can accomplish

Just a powerhouse album, beats too good and rhymes masterful

That cover of Jumpin Jack was fantastic. A great mix of Indian beats with pop sensibilities

A bit of a departure from their previous albums but still holds up with the new sounds they were looking for

Just fantastic, varied and fun, front to back awesome

Classic Nick cave, alright album

Cool beats, nice flow

Very cool album, keeps it interesting Gotta love psycho killer

Good that there was no bob dylan songs on it, a departure from previous

Not bad, but seemingly too close to U2

Not sure if I ever heard of them before, but it was a pretty good album

Not bad, though I don’t remember much of it

This album came as a surprise. I knew what I was getting into with Tom Waits, but it might’ve just came at the right time

Kind of sounds like a really good Ringo album

Great album, ME is a masterpiece I think and Cars has always been good to me

They really got to jammin it seems. Good shape for things to come

First “song” is pretty good and it generally holds steady throughout

Wondering if Radiohead came out first

Great album through and through. May not have all the “hits” but the album gels together nicely

Not one I’d normally listen to, but it was listenable

The music was groovy with strong melodies

Nice beats, good raps

A classic and a beginning of an era. Lots of nostalgia but I’m pretty sure I’m not alone to say that it holds up.

West coast is heavy in this one

Just a great album front to back. Always have loved the song “Off The Wall”

I think rehab is one of the best songs of the 21st century so far and the rest of album is great as well

Psychedelic, man

A debut with almost all the hits, great songs and moments

Fantastic album, very fresh

Awesome story telling in song

I already knew the first song and the rest of the album sounded similar but not in a bad way

Pretty great album, awesome instrumentals. Makes me wonder what the movies about

Impressive when you hear about how Dave Grohl is behind the entire project.

Was surprised when Our House played. Was not aware it was on this album. The rest of the album stayed interesting throughout

I’ll Feel A Whole Lot Better is probably my favorite track on the album. The Byrds might’ve brought more attention to Bob Dylan but I always felt they were piggybacking off him at points. Still a great album

Famous album with some great songs but as a whole, doesn’t live up to the hype

Pretty polished based on what I knew of the band before

Always thought of them as more of a punk band and was pleasantly surprised.

Noisy at some of its finest, great album

A very odd and intimate album that just has Prince written all over it

Had never heard of this album or band before and was pleasantly surprised. Was great

Not bad at all. Have heard many things about her but never really get music. There were some great songs on this album

Just one of the absolute greatest of all time. Though I will say there are a couple of songs that go on a little longer than I would like, it’s okay because they are great songs. Ambitious in length and material and yet it includes a plethora of songs that are as well known as anything.

A very curious album with sounds that probably had never been heard before. Very cool

Practically the definitive 60s soul album. Loaded with a few covers but every song is distinct and made his own. Long live Otis

One of the beginnings of rock and roll documented and a great album with loads of influential songs to be found on it

Kind of meh, really, but then again it wasn’t bad

Not the biggest fan of the style. I’m sure it’s not bad for those who like this kind of music

Very surprised by this one. Every song maintained and interesting level the started high and ended high. Great album

Some good beats on this one, well done

The production and songwriting was pretty great

Close to a 5. Great variety and interesting songwriting with non conventional chord structures

Great live album with cool renditions of the songs

Unapologetically 80s. Interesting track placement but generally enjoyable

Fast and heavy, what more do you need

Some really great moments on the album that overshadow some of the lesser “trippy” elements

I’m not sure how important this album was in the timeline of what was going on when it came out, but I feel like it captured an environment pretty well. Very cool and interesting throughout.

Starts off with what I think to be their best song and maintains a level of good throughout.

Stunning harmonies, made the Acapella aspect much more tolerable

Lyrically genius and musically soothing

Great album with a good sonic landscape. Holds my favorites of their songs

Good classic Kinks album, real raw sound

Pretty standard for a Lou Reed album, and there’s nothing wrong with that

Absolutely classic and important album, to me at least. The grooves on this album are superb and arrangement is everything. Everyone was on

With Gilmour and Waters producing a good chinch of this one, you can really hear where they were heading as well. Great album, practically Pink Floyd

Really solid album with great stories told throughout

Quite progressive, always kept interesting

Cool slam-like lyrics, classic beats

One of the greatest blues players showing you why. Album lives up to any hype it could receive with a true performer on display.

The sound is just immaculate and the songs are fantastic. Can’t ask for more

Great rhythms and parts to produce highly enjoyable songs

An important album for LA/hardcore punk, and it still sounds great and powerful

Not bad at all, noisy but in a good way

Great harmonies with interesting music to go along with it

Great songwriting, acoustic mastery

80s goodness with a twist that excels it forward, great album

Cohesive album with great parts throughout and some iconic songs

A lot different than I thought it would be based on the couple of songs I knew from it. I say that in the best possible way

An album not talked too much about, though I believe it was his best. Love this album and wish even more people would listen to it.

I mean, what more can be said. Just one of the greatest of all time.

More toned down, real acoustic greatness. Awesome songs and a great album

In the garden of eden, baby.

Awesome out there album, musically sound

A lengthy album but manages to stay interesting and enjoyable throughout

Never heard of this album, or artist, before but it was really great. Very, very cool.

Some “same soundy” songs compared to other albums and even songs on the same album, but the songs are really good

Garage rock greatness

A pretty awesome album. Breath of fresh air. Pretty sure they are singing in Portuguese, so that’s cool. And the instrumentation is everything

Always a fan of early Beatles

Just an amazing album. Super varied with songs for almost any occasion. One of the best.

Simple yet satisfying

A fantastic debut. Much different from other punk of the day. A faster blueprint of what’s to come

Not bad, just not necessarily what I would listen to

So very good. Great covers along with some stellar originals that live on.

Used to really not like this album, but it has grown on me thanks to this listen.

An album bigger than the movie it was created for. Just a snapshot of life. Perfection.

Raw, Real, and Awesome. Stones at their best.

Although in recent times I’ve seen people start to disregard this album, I can say that I truly believe it is one of the greatest of all time. Sometimes the hype is right.

So Rowlf

Harder than some of the “hard” artists of the day. And huge inspiration for albums even today.
