After listening to the first song I had a feeling this was going to be a maximum 3 star, on its way to a 2. But the songs on the album changed genre a few times and the stories for a few of the songs were fairly unique. In the end I went and listened to it all the way through again.

Not bad, but I wasn't 'grabbed' by a single song and I was a bit bored.

China is a ridiculous song and I still can't figure out what is going on in it. I love it. The album has so many different sounds with each different song and I liked a lot of them. The lyrics were strange and surreal some times, but I always enjoyed the story told. 4 stars, I would like to listen to this again some day.

This was such a solid album. I was actually surprised with how much I enjoyed it and I look forward to listening to it again later. From the lyrics along, I really couldn't figure out if Mr. Newman was for or against religion, or perhaps specifically against organized religion? I really started to questions things at God's Song (That's Why I Love Mankind). I may have to listen to the album a few times before I understand.

Strangeways is a great description to this album. I like the sound of each song and they focus on very interesting topics, like hoping your girlfriend will wake from a coma.

I like artistic forms of expression in music. But the music still has to sound good.

Out of every Radiohead album, this is my least favorite. When compared to Ok Computer, The Bends, or Pablo Honey, I just can't rate this well.

My top three songs: Time of the Seasons, Brief Candles, and Beechwood Park.

Pretty classic 60's sound, definitely a good album, but nothing grabbed me to play it a second time.

It worries me he keeps specify 'human' hands. Something you want to tell us Mr. Costello? I wasn't blown away by this album, but while listening to it I caught myself bobbing my head several times, so clearly I enjoyed it. Because there were no songs that stood out exceptionally to me, I'll give this a 3, but I'd rather give it a 3.5.

3 stars. I do not feel like I need to listen to this album again. I think that the album touches several different styles with different songs. For example, comparing Milk and Only Happy When It Rains. To me this does a great job capturing the start of the female lead soft punk/pop bands that developed in the mid 90's. This band fills a similar niche to No Doubt (with Gwen Stefani), but doesn't do nearly as good a job.

This album is just so representative of the AC/DC sound and of the rock during that time. I love this album.

This album was just boring to me. I didn't get anything out of it. Neither the sound or the lyrics made this an album I could be interested in.

Great album. The instrumental music is instrument and the almost discordant vocals make the songs sound unique and interesting. All wrapped up nicely with the final song, which is just a classic. I enjoy music which speaks about things other than than cliche topics, LCD Soundsystem definitely does that.

This album is very nostalgic for me. So, I may have a bias here. I think this album is all over the place in a wonderful way. There isn't a cohesive story or even sound. It makes each new song refreshing compared to the previous. The messages and themes in the song are always worth looking at the lyrics for.

Absolutely amazing. I definitely knew Come on Eileen, but I have never listened to this entire album. Definitely one of the best so far, in my opinion.

I enjoyed the beginning of this album, and it was even a possible 4 stars for me. But then by the end of the (very long) album it felt like the artist was just making noises at me. I want to justify giving this a 2 with the analogy of an artist painting a beautiful painting and then finger painting all over it with the remaining of the paint on their pallet.

Don't get me wrong. Sweet Dreams (the song) is a solid 5/5, but this rating is about the entire album, and the rest of the album was rather bland to me. I won't let a single song carry the album's rating.

Very good sounding album, I only wish it were longer.

I cannot state why this is a 5 stars enough. Everything about this album is a 5 to me. The thematic story the whole way through, the amazing instrumentals, the real life context, just everything. I knew we were going to get to this album eventually and I was just so happy to see it yesterday. This was one of the first albums a good friend of mine recommended I listed to all the way through, before that I just listened to singles. Discovering that albums can be crafted to tell a story changed my view on music and how it should be listened to. Good albums are a work of art and this is a masterpiece. The themes in this album range from toxic relationships, drug abuse, mental illness, etc., and I find it so interesting to hear how Roger Waters describes each of these in turn.

There were some good parts to this album. I particularly liked Amelia, and some part of Lorelei. But on the whole I felt like this album tried too hard to hit a particular style. The combination of overly dreamy music and forward vocals, paired with harmonic background vocals, and (in my opinion) overly strong drums made for a not so pleasant listen.

This album had SO many sounds of the 90's. Whether it was the bells and whistles found in Don't Fight it, Feel it or the media samples used in Loaded. The pure variety of styles shown throughout the album was impressive. The album lost me a bit during the Higher Than the Sun (A Dub Symphony in Two Parts) though.

I think this album had so many classics all in one! I don't think this is close to a 5, but still falls in the 4 range. There was nothing too interesting here, but definitely a solid listen.

Similar to my review for Bad Company, this album had a lot of classics and was an enjoyable listen. Again I wish we had some stars to deal with, I would put this a bit lower than 4/5 (but definitely higher than 3/5). I will reserve a higher rater for other The Who albums.

This album falls into a genre characterized by distorted guitars, 'dreamy' vocals, and feedback. But that doesn't excuse an unrefined sound and overly hollow lyrics. Maybe I wasn't paying close enough attention, but I mostly just heard noise from this album.

I loved this album. I thought the lyrics were great in the way they told unique a unique story.

An absolute solid album with some great tracks. I think this album is a great representation of the genre, the sound, the messages, all of it. I will definitely be giving this album another run through to hear some of the lyrics again.

I thought this was an incredibly fun album and I want to go back and listen to it again (so a 4 star by my scale). Good music, good messages, good album.

This might be my inexperience with this genre, but I don't know if this album brings anything unique to the table. It was fine music, but there was nothing that made me want to go back and listen again.

This was a reasonably enjoyable album. I wouldn't listen to it on my own again, but if it was in the background I'd tap my foot.

I do love me some country music. I think this album represents what the 'country' genre is much better than the currently popular country-rock and is definitely what I prefer.

I almost gave this a 5 because of how impressive it is to make something this bad.
