Good beats, bad lyrics

Pretty good if this is a high school garage band. Only 33 minutes long, so that's good.

I've never hear of this artist or album before. It's not bad. Could be nice to fall asleep to.

Reasonable songs length, reasonable album length. Seemed promising...However, the very first noise you hear on this album is screaming. Not cool. Couldn't listen to the whole thing. It made my ears hurt.

Turns out Liz Phair isn't a great singer. I assume this album was chosen because of it's writing...but it's hard to pay attention to the lyrics when the singing is so bad.

It's like listening to the same song ten times in a row. The first one or two tracks were good, but very boring toward the end.

Tough listen. Not for me. Used an interesting framing device that played along with the education/classroom theme.

This creates a mood. I'd call it an early 2000s indie movie nostalgia mood. Not bad, probably best to use as background or driving music. No one song stands out from the album as a whole.

Better than expected. I liked that it only lasted 43 minutes.

Basically just background noise.

Unremarkable for the most part. "Kilo" is kind of good. N-word is used a lot throughout the album.

This is disco music. Be ready to dance.

I like the title of this album. Apparently there's some kind of storyline, so need to pay attention more than I did.

This album doesn't have any of my best-remembered Talking Heads songs. Still pretty good.

Nice listening experience

Lots of screaming. I like "Heart-Shaped Box"...other than the songs I know as singles, way too much screaming...awful

At less than 40 minutes, this album is mercifully short. Not that I'm saying it's otherwise a bad album. I bet some people love it.

The album title pretty much says it all. Would sound great in an elevator, maybe at a grocery store too

Pretty much what you'd expect from Tom Waits. Intense singing, quirky instrumentation. Not pleasant, but interesting.

Kind of boring, but not bad

Two strikes before I even started listening to this albums: 1) it's two hours long and 2) it's a live album. Uh oh. The best part was when it was over.

Pretty good. Especially if you consider the album's context in rock history (which I had to read about on Wikipedia)

This singer kind of sounds like Bono. I wonder if they influenced U2 at all.

It might be my 90s nostalgia talking, but I liked this one.

This music made me shake my booty

This album was a treat. It contains all of the Dusty Springfield songs I already knew, plus some additional gems.

Quite pleasant. Would listen again.

It was fun to hear a different version of Stir It Up. Otherwise unremarkable

Pretty good if this is a high school garage band. Only 33 minutes long, so that's good.

Very sad. Her voice sets the mood. I don't even know what any of the lyrics are, just sounds sad.

Nice pick. I liked it just fine.

Easy to listen to. Some words are unintelligible. Gets boring toward the end.

Great vocals. Well-produced. Did not feel like a chore to listen to this.

I've never hear of this artist or album before. It's not bad. Could be nice to fall asleep to.

Songs are nice and short, so we're off to a good start. No songs stick out as obvious singles. But overall really good. I actually started listening again after it ended.

Too many tracks. Album lasts over an hour, which is way too long. Also, too much foul language. Ice-T is a good rapper though.

Mostly easy to listen to.

Lots of distortion on this one. Meh.

Sounds like a party. Fun, but definitely need to be in the right mood to truly enjoy. Might be good hype music getting ready for something. Album drags a little toward the end (like most albums do).

Too long. Miserable. Don't listen to this on a sunny day, will ruin your mood.

Some songs are longer than I realized. Still mostly fun; it's Michael Jackson afterall

Good vocal performance. Easy to listen to, not special.

Mostly sounds like a jazzy score for an 80s movie. But there's at least one live track, and I hate that.

I liked the first song, but it was too long.

Woohoo! Only 33 minutes long and has the best Van Halen songs.

Inferior versions of 'Respect' and ' My Girl'. This album feels like it's trying too hard to be soulful... whatever that even means.

Piano-based and sad

Sounds like Frank Sinatra, exactly what you'd expect. If you already like Sinatra, you'll like this.

Lots of high pitched squealing/whistling noises. Very annoying.

Interesting. Thought-provoking in that it made me think about how many different genres there are and how artists can be successful in genres without me ever hearing of them or hearing their songs.

It's fine

I like this

Album is over an hour long and most songs have long, zany titles.

Another prog rock album. Not bad

Good beats, bad lyrics

Most of these tracks are too long for my taste. Songs are mostly enjoyable, just last too long.

I'm a sucker for this Spanish language music. Album is mostly just good background noise.

Turns out Liz Phair isn't a great singer. I assume this album was chosen because of it's writing...but it's hard to pay attention to the lyrics when the singing is so bad.

Good singing. Raitt is often praised for her vocal interpretation, and I agree with that.

Some nice soft rock

It's house music. Not too intense though. Could be good music to have while trying to concentrate on something.

Album too long, songs too long. Enjoyable otherwise

This guy sings like Stevie Wonder

Really not bad

Short album. Short songs. I enjoyed it and it didn't wear out it's welcome.

This is pretty awful

Another stinker

Very mellow and Nice

Solid punk album

This album is a little too long in my opinion. But otherwise very good. I'm glad I'm revisiting it after all these years.

Mostly nice singing. Songs are a reasonable length.

Nope

Pretty good

Dusty is just a great singer. This album was well-produced too. Nailed it.

Great work from the Beastie Boys. Perhaps a few too many tracks; they could have left a couple out. Overall very good though.

Reasonable songs length, reasonable album length. Seemed promising...However, the very first noise you hear on this album is screaming. Not cool. Couldn't listen to the whole thing. It made my ears hurt.

I had never heard of this artist or album...but I enjoyed it. Goofy lyrics, my jam.

Weird. Not great singing, very dramatic music.

Fine album. Just not really my taste.

Not a lot of songs, but some very long songs.

This is bad. Maybe this would have been a fun late 80s/ early 90s concert to attend...?

Album is longer than I like, but also better than expected. I think I had the wrong expectations going into this one. Ultimately I enjoyed this, but it's very context-specific. Should be enjoyed in a club, and not while just sitting around on a lazy Saturday.

Fun energy here.

Good collaborations. Some good tracks on here, mostly toward the beginning of the album. It definitely drops off.

It's cool to hear electronic music that isn't just club music. This works just as well for simply setting a mood.

72 minutes is too long. The songs themselves are a mix of passable and bad. There was one toward the beginning where I thought "this is kind of catchy"

I could see myself listening to this again and enjoying it. It's a little bit moody at times.

Primitive punk. Three decently good tracks save this one

Ugh. A live album. I like Sam Cooke, but this is still just a live album.

Not particularly interesting. But it's non-offensive to keep as background music only.

Joyless. Perhaps the album title is meant to be ironic.

Though this album marked a bad turning point for this band, the album as a whole was better than I remembered. Could be nostalgia talking, but I thought it ages well.
