This may be unpopular but this album is far too long. Overindulgent with some solid tracks.
This was a rough one for me. I did admittedly listen to it at the end of the day which may have colored how I felt about it but it was repetitive and just felt like it took forever to finish.
There was an overindulgence in the mid 90s from British bands that never really spoke to me. Not horrible but I feel like this album is such a strong response to the pop of the early 90s that it feels a bit silly.
“Sometimes it feels like I’m made of eggshells...and I’m gonna crack”. This is one of my favorite albums of the mid 90s. My wife and I when were dating used to
sit in my room and listen to this album while staring at the ceiling like some silly episode of “My so called life”. This is the perfect Gen X/Elder Millennial album. It wallows in its angst and I love it.
I hated almost every second of this album. Its psychedelic rock at the worst and threw my anxiety into overdrive. The only time I didn’t want to gouge my ears out was during the medley of covers.
“Too many Urkels on your team. That’s why ya wins low”
This album is such a great culmination of the beats and rhymes of his first two albums. It definitely showed a changing point for Kanye and you could tell he was starting to unwind as a human and as an artist. The best track for me is “Monster” I use it all the time to show people what a powerful rapper Nicki Minaj is. On a track with Kanye, Rick Ross and one of the all time greats Jay Z, she absolutely steals the track and owns it with her schizophrenic rhyming.
I love this album. One of my all time favorite hip hop albums. No one can flow like Q Tip.
A classic. Nothing else specific to say here.
I really hated this. Too much synth.
The only thing that makes me love this album is that it was their only studio album. For me it’s a kind of sophomoric punk which is I guess the point of punk.
Listening to this was an absolute delight and had me smiling the entire time.
Oh I don’t know. This was not as painful as I expected but I probably won’t listen to it ever again.
This was an odd mix of psychedelia and British folk. I liked it.
I didn’t take enough acid to listen to this. Long boring and meandering.
I can’t believe as a Beatles fan I’ve never listened to this album. It was incredible.
I had never heard of this artist and overall I liked it. Not something I would probably dip into again for a full album but it made my walk on a rainy day nice.
This was a lot of fun to listen to. Never listened to the whole album. Beyond a soundtrack this was great.
This was great. Never listened to this album before. Incredible live performance.
I don’t believe that I have ever listened to a queen album all the way through. I loved this. There is a part of me that feels like if the Beatles had continued and been more odd that this is an album they could have made.
I don’t know. That album did nothing for me. It was competent but felt completely soulless for some reason.
Not a Joplin fan so the vocals really drained me.
Not my favorite CCR album but still good.
This was a nice diversion. Not as easy to listen to as “Legend” but that’s a compilation so that’s not a fair comparison.
Not a Steely Dan fan. The mid to late 70s are a hard time for me musically in general and this just feels like it’s so of that time.
Man this album took me back. HS grad year. I’ve never listened to the whole album but it was so good. “The drugs don’t work” is a beautiful song.
While I’m not the punk I was in high school who listened to this album a thousand times in my friends Camaro I really enjoyed this trip back to hear this again.
I enjoyed this. Very 80s but in a good way.
Not my favorite but competent.
The velvet underground has always made me feel very anxious when I listen to them. The least track though saved the album.
I thoroughly enjoyed this. It could have been the alcohol.
This was incredible. Seems like the album Stevie always wanted to make. Last track is amazing.
I was 15 when this came out. The perfect age. Such a great album.
Not my bag but very competent.
This album really really bored me.
I can appreciate this but I can't say it was an enjoyable listen to me.
This was more enjoyable than I Initially expected. A decent rock album.
Perfect in every way. Used to listen to this constantly in the first few months of our marriage.
This was an absolute pleasure.
Just perfect in almost every way.
I know the smiths are supposed to be depressing but sheesh. I didn’t enjoy this level of angst.
I enjoyed this. Never listened to them before.
Gen X angst as it ages. I didn’t care for it.
Didn’t age the best but still a fun listen.
Morrissey is like rap without the rap.
I’m sure when this came out it was ground breaking but it is a product of its time.
This was a rough listen because I didn’t really enjoy the music but I could feel his pain.
I didn’t enjoy this at all but I could tell it was competent.
This was long and I didn’t enjoy most of it.
I shockingly enjoyed this.
This was too synthy for me
Takes a sharp nosedive after the stellar track 1 but later on redeems itself.
This was unexpectedly incredible
Oof that was an effing slog
This was weird and not in a good
Way.
Not my kind of music but competent
Repetitive and a bit boring
Solid but nothing I’m obsessed about.
This was far more enjoyable than I expected but I think nostalgia played a big part.
Wow I enjoyed this way more than I thought. I’m not sure why. It just hit right.
Listening to Bjork is like hanging out with a mentally unstable friend and it’s always made me uncomfortable
It’s hard to deny the Beatles comparisons but it lacked all heart.
I bought this album when I was 13 and it is a fun trip down memory lane but not something I would probably listen to again
I don’t love Neil Young as a singer but the pace of this album was incredible. Really a work of art.
This was not too much fun.
This walked the line between Nissa nova and 90s too much.
A classic but super depressed me.
Ooof didn’t like that much.
A masterpiece that I have never listened to straight through.
This felt all over the place and I didn’t enjoy it.
This was a shocking surprise.
Not horrible but none of it lives up to how dope “Paper Planes” is.
I enjoyed this way more than I thought.
Eh not bad. But feels pretty repetitive
This was nice. His voice grates after a full album but this was well put together.
This was far better than I expected. It felt like this could have been released today.
Still feels a bit overrated but solidly done.
Don’t love 70s jazz but it felt capable
I just really don’t think I dig Björk but she’s talented.
I really really enjoyed this.
Incredible. A masterpiece.
This was like listening to my angsty 14 year old sisters band in 1993.
Incredible. Not to the level as the Last Waltz but still incredible
Not an Elvis fan in the slightest but this has some great songs.
This was fascinating and I can see how it lead to modern day electronic music.
I don’t think I enjoyed a single second.
I can see their influence but I didn’t enjoy.
Not bad. Groovin is obviously the best song on the album.
Not my kind of music but serviceable.
Fun. Not horrible. Quite repetitive though.
Not an Elvis fan but those are my personal issues. Decent.
Not my think and very dated but it works ok.
I really enjoyed this. Hidden gem!
I love this. The start of Punk.
Still amazing but it was before they understood melody.
Not my favorite of theirs but a classic.
Groundbreaking but not my
Favorite of his.
I enjoyed this more than I thought I would.
I really really enjoyed this. What a gem.
I can tell it was a pioneer in the post punk world.
I don’t understand why the verve were not more popular in the 90s
This was way ahead of its time
This was a blast. Plus I knew the first song from “Waking Ned Devine”
Incredible. Way way ahead of its time.
Very dated and I didn’t really enjoy it.
Easily my favorite Beck album
Not a fan of late 80s and early 90s electronica.
I don’t think I’ll ever understand the appeal of Cohen.
I feel like there is music that music theorists love that I just don’t get and this album is it.
I was shockingly surprised at how much I loved this album.
Interesting. I enjoyed this
Way too stuck in its own time.
Some solid classics here.
I’ve never heard of this before. Very surprised
I hated almost every single moment of this album and after reading his tragic story and death here in Santa Cruz it was incredibly depressing as well. I feel like its so well regarded because of his story and not the music.
This was fascinating and a really interesting departure from the recent music.
Immature and lacking any sort of polish but I guess that’s the point. I mildly enjoyed it.
It was serviceable. Just not for me.
A brilliant album from a brilliant artist.
Fascinating. I’ve never heard of this. Enjoyable.
Way way ahead of their time.
Baba O’Reilly is the pinnacle of the album.
I had forgotten what a perfect rock album this is.
This was incredible. A real gem I didn’t know about.
I just don’t Think James Taylor is for me.
I liked this more than their studio work
Didn’t enjoy that at all.
This is a hard one because knowing of the background of the band and all of the rumors about authorship it will probably bring it down a star more than it would be normally.
I enjoyed this way more than I thought I would.
I’m just not a Tom Waits kind of guy.
16 year old Jon loved this
Feels way ahead of its time.
I think they would not be as big today if Jim had lived.
Not one moment did I like this
This was a tough one to get through
Tricky is severely under appreciated
Very dated and it never clicked with me.
Not my thing but well made
This was a surprising joy
This was a slow burn for me. I didn’t care for the start but the back half is smooth.
For me this was anxiety inducing
