I almost turned the album off after the first two tracks, but told myself, “you only have to listen to the album once and never again…” so I kept listening and I’m very glad I did. It’s beauty hit me despite my reluctance and disinterest.

One of my favorite albums by probably my favorite band. I started listening to this album on the way to Santa Cruz maybe around when it came out. I was in middle school, and my best friend’s older sister put it on as she took us on the 3 hour drive to the boardwalk. It was the only CD we listened to the entire trip, and I’m not complaining. I have such nostalgia surrounding this! We laughed and swore we would learn to play Blue Ridge Mountains. I was told I could do the timpani or whatever instrument that is before, “in the quavering forestttt” chorus... I love this album with all my heart. I haven’t gone a year, month, and probably even week without listening to at least one of the songs off this album.

Very easy listening and I would totally listen to this again. Super fun listening to it while I deliver groceries around my home town. I could see myself falling in love with this album given another couple listens through

I normally try to give albums a second or third listen, but this was terrible.

This is good thinking music. It’d be wise to put this on and do school work or something productive. Easy listening and enjoyable! My only thing is that jazz takes me a while to get into, and I listened to this album 2-3 times, and couldn’t really sing any of the melodies to you off the top of my head. Even after just listening. But that’s not the album’s fault, more me and my scatterbrain. I would definitely put this on at a dinner party or sumptin

I liked a few tracks off of this album, and I can understand why people love the Beastie Boys so much, but really not for me. It gets really repetitive, and kind of just sounds like a bunch of shouting. The humor is also kind of lost on me, and the ultimate thing is that I found myself wanting to listen to the songs sampled more than the songs themselves.

Not the New Order album I wanted or needed sadly. Some of the songs were kind of catchy, but overall I just wanted to listen to the classics off their other albums. The lyrics seemed challenged. I would have liked this album more if it was just instrumental like, Elegia, probably my favorite track. I like the later half of the album more than the beginning. I had heard Love Vigilantes a lot in the past and always thought it was an okay staple. The last song on the album, Face Up, reminded me too much of Temptation, a far better song.

Such an underrated artist! This album was lots of fun to listen to. I’ll be listening to it again soon

Good album for working out. I’m not sure how often I’d listen to it on my own, but it’s decent. I especially like Omega Amigo!

Some of this album is “ehhhhh” and some is “hell yeah” I have a feeling this album could really grow on me and in later years I might rate it a 5. I’ve heard Pale Blue Eyes many many many times and didn’t get why people loved it so much. It only recently, within the past year or two, has grown on me. I’m thinking the same for the rest of this album.

Always been a favorite. Every time I listen to it I find something new to love.

I might need to listen to this again and my rating might get higher. I enjoyed it.

While I feel that this album was made by talented people, it really did nothing for me. I don’t think I’d go out of my way to put it on. I had moments where I really enjoyed the instrumentals and then the lead singer would pipe in, and I really was not a fan of his voice. This album kind of made me feel like I was listening to the Grateful Dead, like I needed to be zonked out and drunk to enjoy it. With peace and love of course.

I love the Smiths so much, and have a weird fascination toward Morrissey. I love some of his solo work, and this album is just okay to me. Having a decade now between me and my high school years where I was obsessed with everything the Smiths, I now see that Johnny Marr really made that band what it was. That being said, I love Morrissey’s voice and I love him as a lyricist. He never fails to make me laugh. “The World is Full of Crashing Bores” had me laughing pretty hard: “ Lamenting policewomen, policemen Silly women, taxmen, uniformed whores They who wish to hurt you Work within the law This world is full, So full of crashing bores And I must be one 'Cause no one ever turns to me to say ‘Take me in your arms Take me in your arms And love me’” God I love him. But also totally understand why he is such a polarizing person. You are the Quarry was a fun listen, but at times felt like divorced dad rock. I also love the album cover.

Easy to listen to and pretty but bored me stiff and I don’t think I’d listen to it again intentionally.

I normally try to give albums a second or third listen, but this was terrible.

Pretty but overall kind of boring me to sleep. I like utopia and the first track!

This will be a new staple in the house! Loved it

I might like this one more with a few more listens, but such an improvement from the first album!

I love George Michael. I love him so much I’ve become like a Michael Jackson fan you see in a documentary bawling their eyes out over him moonwalking. That’s me, but for George Michael. He has been canonized in my mind, and I don’t care if my interpretation of him is no where near accurate to how he actually was in real life. Okay, now that being said, this album is beautiful, but I wouldn’t necessarily give it a 5. I especially love Cowboys and Angels and Waiting for That Day. There were a few songs I wasn’t in love with, and that’s okay. I see myself listening to a lot of the songs regularly, but maybe not the entire album.

This was the music they used to torture the branch dividians I assume.

This album makes me happy!

Love love love

I want to explore the message further, but overall the music didn’t really do much for me.

I’ve had this album in my car when I was 17 and bought it because I liked the hits, but listening to it in full again I’ve realized how much more there is to love. I really enjoyed A Last Request and Hand to Mouth with this listen. The only track I wasn’t crazy about was I Want Your Sex pt 1. But by far my favorite song from Georgie is Kissing a Fool.

I wasn’t prepared for how much I would love this!

This is the first Metallica album I’ve ever listened to in full. I thought it was okay to interesting to maybe mildly good. I appreciate the music, but I’d have to be in a certain mood to listen to this again. I also am not crazy about the singer’s voice and would almost prefer the entire album to just be instrumental.

Pleasantly surprised. I did enjoy this one, but couldn’t hang for the live recordings

Peaceful

This album was weirdly fun, but overall not my favorite. I have heard “What’s Love Got to Do With it” many times before, and always thought it was an okay song. “Show Some Respect” was enjoyable as was “Private Dancer”. For some reason Private Dancer reminded me of Steely Dan, but after doing a little digging I found it is actually originally a Dire Straits song. “I Can’t Stand the Rain” is catchy. Let’s Stay Together was an interesting rendition. I snoozed through the last three songs though if I’m being honest.
