The more I listen to jazz from being exposed via this site, the more I'm realizing that I just don't really like jazz. I can appreciate the musicianship, but it's just not something I'd choose to listen to.

I didn't think I disliked Eminem as much as I apparently do (or at least dislike this album.) I've heard some of his singles, I saw 8 Mile and liked it, and remember when he and Elton John played the Grammys, which I thought was fairly powerful. So I was expecting a hip-hop/rap album that, while I admit isn't my favorite genre, would be a fun listen and at least tolerable. But wow, I couldn't have been more wrong. The album starts off strong, with My Name Is, a crossover hit that you couldn't escape and still can't. But then, from there, it devolves into an album that's A. Way to long B. Way to repetitive C. Way to violent for no reason I'm not sure who finds listening to this enjoyable. At least in, say, a horror movie, you aren't rooting for the killer. Maybe it was a product of the late 90s, but the violence, hatred, and misogyny is just too much to get over for me. It was honeslty hard to listen to the whole thing. Not a fan.

I don't think I've ever listented to a The Cure album straight through before today. And the first time I did, I was like, that was sort of okay, I liked it a little. And then an hour later I had to put it on again because I couldn't get the sounds out of my head. It's not that they're lyrically poppy and ear-worms or anything like that, but I think I found my next rainy day album. You know the one you want to put on when it's cold and rainy outside and you don't have to do anythingand you don't WANT to be motivated to do anything. That's what this album is.

I liked a few songs. the stripped down drum, bass, vocals thing really does work, BUT it only works for a few songs for me. After 3 or 4 I find myself getting bored. I know that's blasphemy to some, but I just find that I don't really click with hip-hop.

Very boring, nothing here that I enjoyed at all. And to top it off, it's too long.

My first album with this site. New to me, but a real good one to start with. Mellow dream-pop and real easy to listen to.

Is it a novelty album? Maybe. It's done well, but I just don't see myself going back and listening to this one. I get that it's included because it's so heavily sampled, but it's not really for me. A couple of songs you say, hey, I know that one, or I know that beat, etc. But it's not really an album if you ask me.

It’s good, very good even. But I’m just not that into jazz. I could see putting it on in the background of a fancy cocktail party! Second album in a row with not lyrics, so that’s not great for me!

Hey, I've heard this band before. Took 4 days to get to a band I know! First time listening to a whole album straight through, though. Toe-tapping fun! I think I like late 70s/early 80s New Wave. I don't know if I knew that Rock Lobster was that long of a song.

It's fine. Monday Monday and California Dreaming are known songs and are good. The rest was just okay, to me.

A fun album. Pure 80s in album form. Some huge singles that everyone knows, and the other songs aren't bad either. I wish this rating system was on a 10 star scale. This would be an easy 4.5. Can't give it a 5, becuase I'm saving them for the truly transformative albums, but it's more than the 4 it's getting.

I knew, sorta, that Simple Minds was more than just the one mega hit which isn't on this album. But I had to do some reading to see just how big they were outside of the US. That said, this album is fine. It's textured and the mix of guitars and synths are good. The lyrics are probably deeper than I give it credit for on one listen, but I just don't know how much I'll want to relisten to it.

My first 5 star. Classic and the first one since doing this that I put on again right after it was finished. Music by Bowie, lyrics by Iggy, what's not to like?

Another Jazz album from the early 60s. It's probably great, and I wasn't bored with it on, but it's absolutly not my scene. I didn't hate it though, saving 1 stars for albums I hate.

I don't think there was anything in this that I liked

The Kinks are just fun, and this album is no exception.

Two Iggy albums in my first 15! And both 5 stars for me. Raw Power grabs you by the ears from the first song and never lets go.

I like but don’t love this album. A little more pop than Hole was in their earlier albums, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. Couple of GREAT songs, but some filler, too.

I wanted to like this album. I like reggae, but I feel like this was very light on the reggae. Just not a fan, overall.

Too self-indulget, too slow, and WAY TOO LONG. I've tried, because people say he's a genius, to "get" Kanye. But I just don't get him, I don't understand the appeal of the music. I liked the songs POWER and Monster. So there were a couple of bright spots on the album. Wasn't a fan, and/or activly hated the rest.

Unlike the last "reggae" album that we got on here, this one is actually reggae. And it's good. Very good. And I will listen to it again.

One of my mom's favorite albums so I've listened to it countless times. But that's okay, but it's great. Seriously, first track to last, it's a killer album. I can't think of a thing on it that I would change.

It was fine. Couple things I liked. Mostly forgettable.

I really don't listen to much metal. Not really my thing. The guitar solos in this are pretty great, and it's fast and hard and all that is good. But the vocals annoy me. I liked it more than I expected to

Another fun album by The Kinks. I think I like this one more than Arthur.

I wasn't sure what to expect, but I found myself really liking this album. Great guitar solo on "Baby's On Fire" and while there is some experimental stuff on here, I think most of it works pretty well.

I've always liked Tom Petty and this is a good album. It's not my favorite of his, though, but it's very good.

I don't think I've ever listented to a The Cure album straight through before today. And the first time I did, I was like, that was sort of okay, I liked it a little. And then an hour later I had to put it on again because I couldn't get the sounds out of my head. It's not that they're lyrically poppy and ear-worms or anything like that, but I think I found my next rainy day album. You know the one you want to put on when it's cold and rainy outside and you don't have to do anythingand you don't WANT to be motivated to do anything. That's what this album is.

I liked a few songs. the stripped down drum, bass, vocals thing really does work, BUT it only works for a few songs for me. After 3 or 4 I find myself getting bored. I know that's blasphemy to some, but I just find that I don't really click with hip-hop.

It's a little long, but the more I listen to Tom Waits, the more I like him. Not going to get heavy rotation, but always glad to see him pop up.

Finally got to listen to an album I own on vinyl. Really like this album and it's psychadelic soundscapes. Good stuff!

This is my least favorite of the three Kinks albums I've heard so far (Arthur and Village Green being the other two) but still plenty of fun.

No. Just No.

Really enjoyed this one, especially from a band I hadn't heard before. Will get more play time from me, for sure!

Great album. John was always my favorite Beatle, especially lyrically. Some absolutely great songs on this one, especially the title track.

It's very pretty. And I could see putting it on if i was in the right mood, but it's not going to get a lot of playtime.

Was listening to this one in my car with my daughter. I think my review will just quote her: "Dad, you could've died without listening to this album." Hard agree, it was terrible. I just don't get Björk

This is my favorite Steely Dan album and one I’ve listened to many times in my life. My Dad used to play it a lot, and it holds up. It’s not my typical type of music, but I really love it.

I really enjoyed this album. Seems like Nick Cave sang his heart and soul out. Very sad songs, and might be a great rainy day record.

It's a Christmas Album. And it's good christmas music, and good example of Spector's production. But I can't give a huge rating to an album I'll only listen to once a year at best.

I love Elvis Costello and "My Aim is True" is one of my favorites. But most importantly, it got the thumbs up from my daughter when we were listening to it in the car. She said the songs were stuck in her head and she "kinda liked it"

It’s fine. I don’t listen to a lot of electronic music but when I do this is the type I like, stuff I can bob my head to. May get played again when in the right mood.

Pretty good but nothing that knocked my socks off. Could see myself listening to it again.

One of the easiest 5 stars I’ll give. A great punk album, every song is amazing.

It was fine. Couple of songs I liked a lot, but a couple that his voice really irritated me on.

No. Too poppy, to much the same every song. Just not for me.

Another album that's just fine. A couple of good songs, and Come On Eileen is a banger, but overall it's fairly forgetable.

Not really my thing, but I didn't dislike it, either. Torn between rating it a 2 or a 3 but there are a lot of 2 star albums in my list that I would listen to this again over, so I'll bump it up to a 3.

First time hearing this album and I really enjoyed it. Some of the songs may be a bit long, but overall it's very enjoyable. Sort of a throwback rock album, which is rare to hear from newer music!

It's an album you just want to play LOUD. As loud as you can stand. Pure 90s industrial rock, in all the good ways. Yet for as loud as you want to play it the music is dark and depressing, but sometimes that's just what you need.

Just not really for me. Some of the funky bass lines are cool, but not a genre that's really my jam.

Very boring, nothing here that I enjoyed at all. And to top it off, it's too long.

This is damn close to a 1 for me. I just don't like the voices, the songs that are good are mostly covers (and I prefer the original/alternate version) and I just cannot fathom how this won Album of the Year.

Take a music style I'm not that interested in in the first place (electronic) and cross it with 90s era sounds R&B which I also don't like. And then make it worse, for most songs only record 30 seconds and then just loop it for 5 minutes. It's bullshit.

Powerful political album with very strong hooks and amazing guitar work. Strong from start to finish.

I always enjoyed Oasis, but I don't think this is their best album. It's very good though, and glad that I listened to it again.

This is a strange one to review. Do you review it knowing everything you know in 2022 (when this review was written) or do you try to think of what 1969 was like? I choose to go with the later. It rules, and it would've blown my mind in 1969.

Cram 14 songs into 15-16 minutes of pure energy. This is a great punk album and doesn't need to be longer!

I really enjoyed listening to this. Way more than I thought I would initally.

I knew the song Fast Car, but the rest of the album was unknown to me. It's good, easy to listen to. Won't get massive rotation for me, but I could see the right time and place to play it again.

This is one of those albums that I thought I would maybe like (having not heard it before) because I've been told for years how amazing she is. I just didn't get it. I didn't want to turn it off, but I don't want to play it again, either.

Easy 5 star. One of the best two-tone bands and albums released.

So this is not my usual style of music to start with. Then it's in a language that I don't understand. Parts of it are really pretty, and I found myself engaged at times. But other times I was sort of checking to see how many more songs there were before it was over.

It's okay. Pretty straightforward. I liked it but not sure why it's on this list.

I have to separate the man from the music. Michael was the first artist I ever got "into" when I heard Bad when I was around 7. He is the King of Pop and for good reason. This is a good album but not my favorite.

Bob Dylan can just flat out tell a story in his music. I get the people who just "don't like his voice" but I find it interesting and even if it was the worst ever, the stories are still just flat out stellar.

There's a reason that 80% of the people I know born around the same time as me (late 70s early 80s) own a copy of this album. It's probably the most poppy of Metallica's work and appeals to the widest audience.

Jim Hendrix is a god on guitar, there's no doubt there. It's nuts that this is his debut album, that his sound was so perfect right out of the gate. I like a lot of Hendrix's albums, but this one is my favorite.

I think I like the idea of the Happy Mondays more than I actually like the Happy Mondays if that makes sense. It's fine, some songs are decent, others are completely forgettable.

I'm not an Elvis fan, and this is worse than I expected. It's really slow, and doesn't really "rock" the way I thought Elvis did. He can sing, I'll give him that, but he just doesn't do anything for me.

This is an album that I should've been more familiar with than I am. It must have come out right when I was getting out of listening to new grunge, and just completely missed my radar. I liked it, though, and will isten to it again!

Somehow this album has missed large play by me. I had a copy in college, but lost it at some point and this is the first time I've heard it in years. Which is a shame, it's an amazing album that I should listen to a lot more. 13 Songs is the album I know the most, but this one might be a better album overall.

Not a huge hip-hop fan to start with. I can admit that some of these songs are total bangers. Some are huge misses for me. And I can't stand the interludes. Without them it would no doubt be my highest rated hip-hop album so far. With them, I think it's still my highest rating hip-hop album. But it could've been better (to me.)

Good album, I like the songs a lot. A little surprised that my parents didn't play Joni for me much before now!

I like this album a lot but always felt it was sort of two separate albums in one. One is a really good blue album, the other is a really good psychedelic album. Somehow it works together, but it's not perfect.

First time hearing this album. And it's very good! This is one of those albums that I'm glad I'm doing the generator for, making me listen to music that I somehow missed.

Pretty straight forward 80s type rock, but good stuff at that. The hits are mega hits, the other tracks are good overall.

I just had a hard time really getting into this one. I like some goth-rock and some of the tracks on this were good, and I never wanted to turn it off, but I can't see myself choosing to listen to it again anytime soon.

The more I listen to jazz from being exposed via this site, the more I'm realizing that I just don't really like jazz. I can appreciate the musicianship, but it's just not something I'd choose to listen to.

I'm not the biggest Funk fan, but there's something about the way Parliament does it that just works for me!

I like some of The Who's stuff, but this album didn't really do it for me. Some okay songs, but a lot of it is just weird.

Meh. I didn't activly hate it, but it didn't have anything I really liked, either.

I remember liking this a lot more than I ended up. I thought before listening that this was an instant 5, but there are 3 or 4 songs in the middle that I just didn't remember that they're just meh. But the singles are such bangers, and the fact that this was one of the first albums I considered "mine" when I was a kid, still has a soft space in my heart!

Good classic rock/blues. Some really nice guitar work. Sultans of Swing is a great song, too!

I guess this is one of the first trip-hop albums. And I liked some of it, but overall was pretty meh about it. It's fine, but I won't be playing it often.

Two trip-hop albums in a row. I liked this one a little bit more than Massive Attack, but still not going to go in heavy rotation.

Best jazz album I've heard from this list so far. But not saying much, still finding out I don't really like jazz.

This is not a good album. The drums are good. Actually, the drums are really good, so good that it stands out as pretty much the only thing on the album I like. Snuff is okay, I guess. The rest can be relegated to a dumpster fire. It's one of those albums that you have to try to figure out what posessed the writer to include on this list.

I really like The Jesus and Mary Chain. This is not my favorite album from them, but it's still a very good one.

Very simple folk music. Very easy to listen to which can be great at times. It's also very pretty. But it also doesn't knock my socks off at any point, either. It's just solid.

This has been my favorite hip-hop album so far, and it's not even close to the second. Some classic tracks, and no tracks that made me want to turn it off like most of the other hip-hop or rap albums that I've gotten so far.

I really like this album, and very much enjoyed listening to it again. I also seem to like REM more the older I get.

I knew the Mekons a little bit from hearing them on compilations from their more punk days. This one is a lot more experimental, some of which works, some of which really doesn't, and is much different sounding than what I expected based on the little I knew going in.

Didn't do anything for me and completely faded into the background after two or three songs.

Another album from my biggest blind spot, didn't know of them, never heard it before. Really liked it! Will listen again.

Enjoyed my time with this one!

I like Queen's greatest hits a lot. But their other stuff just doesn't do it for me. Killer Queen is good enough to bump up the album for me.

This is a stellar album. Prine can tell a visual story with just his words and is one of the strongest songwriters of the era. Really excellent album, and glad I got to listen to it again.

More boring bullshit by Bjork Seriously, WTF is this and why is it on any list, let alone a list of albums you must hear. If it was on a list of albums that should be taken out back and shot, I could get behind that.

Really good album with some mega hits and an overall great reggae vibe. Will listen again and again.

Didn’t love it. Didn’t hate it. Some great guitar work, but too jazzy for me. I want lyrics.

As my other reviews have shown, I’m not a big hip hop fan. But the Roots are able to make music that is good and dare I say, I enjoy? Maybe it’s the live band, maybe it’s that they’re from Philly, I don’t know. But they’re damn good.

I like some of the blues licks, but overall it's a forgettable album. Didn't dislike any part of it, though!

I must have missed this album rating it. I know I listened to it, but I went ahead and listened again. It's still good.

This is probably a 4 star album, but I have so much nostalgic love for it, and the countless times I played it i my car in high school and college that I have to give it a 5.

It's fine. I like the singles. But like most prog rock, I find many of the songs go on too long, and it's too confusiong for me.

This is not my favorite Zeppelin album, but it's still very good. A couple of perfect tracks!

I tend to like folk music, but this one was hard to get into. Her voice can be a little grating, but the lyrics are very pretty. Interesting version of House of the Rising Sun, but I will not be going back to this one anytime real soon.

Typical early 90s alt/college rock. If I was a couple of years older, I probably would've been really into them. As it is, it's a good album, one I'm glad I listened to, and one I'll go back and listen to again. I'm sure they were on a bunch that I can't think of at the moment, but I can just see in my head the number of indie/Miramax movies from the 90s that would've used some of these songs on the soundtracks.

It's like a Best Of Compilation, but it's all on one album. Britpop at it's finiest, and some absolutly great songs.

I've never heard this album befroe, but there's a bunch of songs on it I know. Because I've listened to the Hackers movie soundtrack a lot, and there's at least two songs on here that are on that soundtrack. I don't listen to a lot of dance/electronic music, but when I do, this is the style I gravitate to. You can have it on while working and since there aren't any lyrics, it's not distracting and can sometimes help get you into a flow state. But it's also not something I'm going to put on extreemly often. At times it's what I'm looking for, but not something that would work all of the time.

Another album that has nothing in it for me. I'm obviously not the target demo for this album, but it was so boring that I'm not sure how there's anyone who is in the target demo.

It's fine. Pretty standard late 60s pop. Wouldn't turn it off if it was on, but not going to look to play it again, either.

I'm just not a fan of the twangly guitars, twinkly pianos, and the sounds that feels like it could come out of a western. This album just is way too much country for me, and I'm not a fan. I did like the one song, 100 Years From Now

This is a great album. Not much more needs to be said, it's simply great.

I liked this album. I knew a few songs already, and the others were good too. I had a degenerate gambler uncle who used to play at Cripple Creek in CO. He was always humming or singing that song. Brings back some good memories, RIP Uncle Dan.

80s synth. Not great, not terrible. For some reason the entire time listening to this one the lead singer kept reminding me of the Prom singer in the movie American Pie. No idea why that thought kept coming in my head, but it did. I went back and watched the prom in that movie and they're not even that similar, but my brain just can't shake the comparison.

I need to find another word than “fine” for albums that are just “fine.” Obvious Beatles influences (and a few more rip-offs, than homages) and overall is not completely unenjoyable. But there’s nothing that’s going to bring me back to it, either, and I’m not sure why it’s on the list.

Good, funky, and some real messags. Pusherman is really great.

I wasn't a fan. I didn't hate it, and I didn't turn it off, but I really didn't like it at all, either. And it sort of sounded a little bit like musical in the way the songs were arranged which I found weird.

Blusey, crunchy, dirty, and fantastic. One of my favorite albums from the early 2000s.

I didn't think I disliked Eminem as much as I apparently do (or at least dislike this album.) I've heard some of his singles, I saw 8 Mile and liked it, and remember when he and Elton John played the Grammys, which I thought was fairly powerful. So I was expecting a hip-hop/rap album that, while I admit isn't my favorite genre, would be a fun listen and at least tolerable. But wow, I couldn't have been more wrong. The album starts off strong, with My Name Is, a crossover hit that you couldn't escape and still can't. But then, from there, it devolves into an album that's A. Way to long B. Way to repetitive C. Way to violent for no reason I'm not sure who finds listening to this enjoyable. At least in, say, a horror movie, you aren't rooting for the killer. Maybe it was a product of the late 90s, but the violence, hatred, and misogyny is just too much to get over for me. It was honeslty hard to listen to the whole thing. Not a fan.

I guess I'm just not a fan of U2, either. It's alright, nothing to write home about, though. Some of the guitar sounds are pretty interesting, but overall this is just not something I'm going to go back and listen to.

You can see how this album influenced so many bands that I like now. I really like the album. Here She Comes Now is a great song, and the Nirvana cover(s) that it sparked are amazing. It may have gotten a 5 from me if it wasn't for The Gift. I just can't stand that one.

This was an interesting one. I hadn't heard it before, and, honestly, wasn't familiar with any of the songs. So for a smash hit in the UK, it didn't have much crossover awareness, at least not to me. It seems totally acceptable. I didn't love any part of it, nor did I want to turn it off at any time either. Nice blend of rock and dance at times.

You can just see the 60s era movies (or more likely, modern movies SET in the 60s) with these songs playing in the background. But that's all I like it for, background music. Won't be going back to listen to again anytime soon.

I have never listened to Nick Drake before. That will 100% have to change. The music is beautiful and sad, and engagnig. A lot of the same qualities I like from someone like Elliot Smith (has to be an influence, right?)

Meh. Nothing that grabbed me. But it wasn't offensive, either.

This is going to be a strange review. Prefacing everything with that. This was the first time I heard this album. Knew Syd from Pink Floyd, of course, but never heard his solo stuff. I was in a strange situation where I started the album and could t easily turn it off. So I listened to it three times on repeat. The first time through I was like, this is just weird. Didn’t really like it. Second time, I was like, oh, this is okay. Third time I started thinking it might be genius. I’m giving it a 3 only because I don’t know what it should get. Maybe if I listen a few more times it would go up. I could even see it being a favorite album in the future. But not yet.

This is not my favorite Bowie album, not by a long shot. The singles are great, the rest is forgettable or maybe even bad.

One of many Beatles albums that will get a 5. It's just great, not much more to say.

I didn't hate it, and didn't want to turn it off. But I didn't like anything in here, either, and will not return.

Completely forgettable. But fine. Not sure why it's on the list. Wouldn't turn it off if it came on again, but not seeking it out, either.

I've never been a fan of Sinatra and this album didn't change my mind. Not so bad I wanted to turn it off, though

Its good. Not as good as Shotgun Willie.

Unknown to me before listening, and I really enjyoed it. I like the way Reggae mixes chill beats that make you think of relaxing on a beach with a beer, and lyrical themes that are many times anything but relaxing, talking savlery, poverty, politics and other social issues.

Taken as a whole, it's pretty amazing. It has some parts that sort of drag for me, but I think they may be necessary in the concept album as a whole. It has some of their best singles, with Hey You, Comfortably Numb, and of course, Another Brick in the Wall being stand outs. Not my favorite Pink Floyd album, but it's still great.

Had not listened to this one before. But it's very good. Sort of a punk rock/industrial thing. Reznor of NiN was probably a fan of this album. I liked it.

I didn't dislike it, and some parts of it I really liked. I like his voice. And Waits is quite funny! Will possibly listen to it again in the future. But not anytime soon.

Another album that was new to me. I knew of New Order but not familiar with this album at all. It's very good, the synths work, the moody atmosphere is good. Not an absolute favorite though.

It seems good. I would be very happy if this was the background music in a restaurant with servers who barley spoke English. I have no frame of reference to if it's any good or not, because it's not my normal thing. But I didn't dislike listening to it.

This is exactly the type of country music I don't like.

An album I wanted to like more than I did. It was fine, but it was so of it's time that it's a little hard to listen to now. My kids thought it was funny, but I don't think it's supposed to be a comedy album.

I didn’t connect with this at all. It was so boring. I cannot fathom why I had to hear this one.

It's simply not for me. I just don't like this kind of music, no matter how much I listen to it. I can recognize that there is some real musical talent here, but it's just an absolute slog to get through.

It's noisy, driving rock, but I can listen to over and over again. This is just a great album and probably Sonic Youth's best. Although everytime I listen to Sonic Youth I can hear Ellen Page telling Jason Bateman that "Sonic Youth is just noise!"

Good to great first half, meh second half. I really liek Bowie but the more of his albums I listen to, the more I think I really like Greatest Hits Bowie.

Nothing here I hated. But absolutly nothing here I liked, either.

Of the electronic albums I've listened to (which is, admittedly, not a lot) this is my favorite. The album is structured more like a rock album, and it sounds as much like the mid 90s as a SoCal ska album would. I'm still not a huge fan of this particular genre, but this album I like.

I really wanted to like this more than I did. It’s bookended by absolute stellar songs, but the middle is forgettable blues rock. Not bad, by any means, but not great either. Just ho-hum for me.

Pretty good 2000s era indie rock. I don’t love it but I’ll gladly listen to it again

Just no. It’s boring, his voice is super annoying, and it’s just so bland and forgettable. It’s not offensive, but it is not good, either.

I know that the Eagles are a very divisive band. There is a massive amount of hate, some that I understand, a lot that I just think is "cool" to have (read the reviews on this site, most of them reference "The Dude." Try to have your own opinion on something. And at the same time, while it's cool to hate them, they have one of the best selling albums of all times with their Greatest Hits album, The three singles on this album are all amazing. The rest of it is just okay. A little torn as to what to rate this album because I would listen to Take it Easy, Witchy Woman, and Peaceful Easy Feeling at any time. The rest of the songs are nothing to write home about, but I also wouldn't turn them off if they were on, they're just sort of forgettable. While if I was going to listen to The Eagles again, I would probably just put on their Greatest Hits album, this one still was a better overall album than I expected,

I have listened to this album 10,000 times because my sister played it that many times when we were in high school, but I probably haven't heard it all the way through in 20 years. The first song is brash and abrassive and almost makes me turn it off. But after that it settles into an album of hit after hit, and I enjoyed listening to it again after all these years.

I have heard for years how amazing, groundbreaking, influential, and brilliant this album is. And .... I just don't get it. Maybe it's because I'm not really a fan of music made up of samples, and that's what this is. It's fine, and I get why it's on the list, but I have no desire to listen to it again.

Good fun dirty rock n roll. A lot of covers, some new songs. Strychnine is a banger. Really enjoyed listening to this album I wasn’t familiar with!

Still say that Bob Dylan can flat out tell a story with his lyrics. This is a very good album, and the more I listen to Dylan, the more I like him.

Maybe it was because I was 9 or 10 when this album was getting MASSIVE airplay and especially on MTV, but this one, and their follow-up Get A Grip were in heavy rotation in my house when they came out. Neither album is terrific, not by any means, but sometimes it's nice to sit down and just enjoy an album that's not trying to be the next big thing, just trying to rock the way the band knew how to. Though, to be honest, I would put Get a Grip on before this one if I was going to listen to just one.

Call me an ugly American, but I have a strong, strong preference to music that's in English. So something that isn't in English has to REALLY grab my attention if I'm going to enjoy it at all. Well, this grabbed my attention, but in all the wrong ways. The vocals are super annoying, and the entire album is repetitive. Maybe it's amazing and I just don't have the musical vocabulary to enjoy it. But to say I did not enjoy it would be an understatement.

This is the Hole album that I really like. Less poppy, more crunchy, grungy sounding. Very Nirvana-ish with it's start/stop songwritting and quiet/loud parts. And I love Nirvana, so it's not a stretch to like this one a lot, too.

This album has one good song and the rest is completely forgettable and sometimes not even good. but Son of a Preacher Man is really good.

I had this album in high school, just like everyone my age had this album in high school. It's pretty good late 90s techno, and one that I would put on again if I was in the right mood. But that mood won't come around very often.

I missed this band when they were big. I like Blur and Oasis, the only two britpop groups I really know. This one was pretty good, too!

I like this. It's atmospheric and dreamy at times, and just a good album.

No matter how much the generator and the book try to get me to like Jazz, I just don't. I didn't turn it off, but I can't see a time I'll put it on again.

Lovefool is super catchy, of course. Pure late 90s pop, and I could see the scenes in movies and TV it was used in my head while it was playing. The rest is fine.

This was a tough one to get through. I understand how some people find her voice amazing, but I found the overall album fairly boring.

I was much more into this album than I thought I would be. Some of the songs still go too long, but overall I really enjoyed it.

It's an interesting record. Very pop, but with a ton of styles crammed into it. This is not one I would've ever listened to before, and one I can't see putting on again, but I didn't dislike it while it was on, either.

It's a very good album. But it would be a stellar 45 minute album. Why is this thing two hours long? No one needs that much, especially since there are a few duds in that extra time.

Some killer songs on this album, standards, wedding songs, feel good songs. This is one that I rate higher than a scale of if I'd put it on again, because I probably won't, but it's really good.

I liked the other Brian Eno one we listened to more than this one. It's fine, but I don't see putting it on again.

Didn't love it, didn't want to turn it off. It's fine.

Enjoyed this much more than I thought I would, but i wasn't expecting much at all having not been a fan before. I could see playing it again, if I was in the right mood.

Pure background music, at best. It's not offensive or anything, but it's not something I would ever plan on putting on again.

Pure 70s rock in the most fun way possible. Some absolutle bangers on this one. I don't think it's in my favorites of all time, but I really enjoyed it.

Could not get into this one. Some of the guitar work was really good, but overall was very forgettable.

No, just no. This is terrible, and I have no idea why I had to hear it at all. Anytime it started to get almost (and almost is a loose term here) listenable, it went in some weird ass, left-field direction and totally pulled me out of it.

This is pretty darn boring, and not something I will put on again. Didn't HATE, but did not enjoy it, either.

Meh. Some of the songs are okay, I guess. It's a pretty boring album overall.

There is a reason this is the best selling album worldwide, it’s awesome. This is truly the “King of Pop” with hit after hit. I am sympathetic to those who say it doesn’t really work as an album. But if decided I just don’t care. The high points are so high that the few low points or missteps are barely noticeable

Surprisingly good. I didn't know anything about it going in, but I really enjoyed the album and will look forward to listening to it again.

I enjoyed it, this is sort of the album I think of when I think of folk. And to think he was so young when he made this is crazy.

Pure classic rock. No misses on the album at all, some great guitar work, and catchy tunes that get stuck in your head. Great stuff.

I really enjoyed this album. A couple of well known songs, but even the ones I don't know that well were really good.

On first listen I didn’t really like it. Seemed like more post Ziggie Bowie that I never really got into. But listed a couple of more times and it grew on me each time. I think the intro on Station to Station is too long but overall I really enjoy the album now.

Another one that I just don’t have the musical language to appreciate, maybe. But really really not for me.

It started off fairly strong, as noise albums go. I like the guitar, and while it's mostly noise from the singer, I kinda liked it at first. But then it just kept going. And going. And going. Cut the runtime in half and you have something here, otherwise it just seems a little self-indulgent. There's no way that there isn't something that could've been lost in a 80 minute album.

I didn't hate it, surprisingly. It's way too long, which I don't love, but some of the beats and some of the instrumentals are really fun. But I also have no desire to put it on again, either. This is a 2.5 album that I'm bumping down to a two simple because of the unecessary length.

Three albums in a row over 75 minutes. And ALL were too long. This sounds like something that would be on in the background of a hipster movie theater. One that doesn’t play Marvel Movies, only independent films (well they existed when I was a teenager at least) It’s not offensive, but it’s super not interesting, either.

Funky, smooth, a little slow. Don’t love it, don’t hate it.

I enjoyed listening to this album. It's not perfect, and nothing grabbed me in that "you have to listen again right now" way, but overall I quite liked it.

Love this album. The synths sound strange in all the perfect ways, it's catchy and weird, but it's not so out there that it's not enjoyable. It's just excellent.

Not for me. Didn’t HATE it but will never play it again, either.

First time listening to a full Yeah Yeah Yeahs album. And it's good. Would listen again for sure. But there is a bit in the middle or towards the end that it just sort of drags and I can't figure out why. This is in between a 3 and a 4 for me, but I'll bump it up because I really liked quite a bit of the album.

Really liked this album and look forward to listening to it again.

Great album from top to bottom and it all works. Some hard rock, some folk, some acoustic. I think the first 4 of Zeppelin's albums are probably going to get 5s from me.

It’s pretty good but not something I’m going to put on a bunch of times. Of course Papa is a Rolling Stone is great.

Not for me. Didn’t hate but didn’t really like it. And it’s way too long.

Enjoyed this album quite a bit. Had not heard it before, this was in my "dark times" of not listening to any new music.

This one was an instant 5 for me. Sure we can talk about how it's strange that one of their best known albums is a live album that is probably the antithesis of what Nirvana was live, but it doesn't matter. The album is beautiful and haunting. It includes some of my favorite versions of their original songs (Pennyroyal Tea for sure) and the covers are all great. This might be my favorite live album of all time.

This album has one song (Motorcross) that I sort of liked. But the entire rest of the album is fairly standard alt rock that is turned to complete shit by Bjork’s wailing. Absolutely unlistenable.

Not a fan. The covers I recognized were maybe a little neat, but the Sitar is an insturment that I can only take in small doses and an entire album of them is painful.

I really like Prince’s guitar work. But I’m just not a fan of his music overall. I’ve tried, but can’t get there. Still has one of my all time favorite guitar solos.

This album surprised me. I thought I was going to hate it. I didn’t. Not bad

This one surprised me. I liked it a whole lot more than I expected to. Pretty good stuff!

I found this to be fine. I'm not a huge country music fan, and this didnt't change my mind, but I wouldn't mind listening to it again, either.

I would like concept albums more if the songs could all stand on their own. And these just don't. But a couple of really good one on here, and the overall album is pretty great.

I didn't loathe it, and never really felt like I had to turn it off. But I have no idea what's going on in the lyrics since I don't speak french, so it is, at best, background music.

I have heard this album so many times. I had a roommate in college that would literally only play GnR and Smashing Pumpkins. I got real tired of both of them after a full year of it. But it's been a few years since I heard this all the way though. And it's really good. Some mega hits of course, amazing that so many big hits were on a debut album. It may be a while before I listen to it again, but I enjoyed it quite a bit.

Pretty standard 70s rock, but done well. Couple of songs I could've left off, but some great ones, too. Good album.

I just don’t think I like prog-rock. Way to self-indulgent by the bands for me. Couple of songs on the critically “weaker” side B were okay, and I didn’t hate this as much as the last ELP, but I didn’t like any of it, either.

This is not for me. I don't like slow R&B, just not something I'll ever choose to listen to, and this one didn't change my mind about it. I didn't feel the need to turn it off, just bored, mostly.

I must have missed rating this (I thought I did first time through.) I really enjoyed it, I hadn't listened to this in quite a while, but it holds up really well. Good times, will be adding it to my listening rotation.

I like Nick Cave, at times. And other times I don't. It is 100% dependant on mood for me, and I don't think I was really in the mood for this one, at least not this time around.

What can I say except I just love Steely Dan. Maybe because I grew up listening to them, and my Dad is a big fan, but it's comfort music to me. This album is no where near as good as Aja, but it's still a solid record, with some good tunes.

I had high hopes for this one after the first song, which I really enjoyed. Then it turned into typical background jazz music. Fine to be on while cooking diner, but nothing I will seek out.

I really enjoy Sonic Youth and this one takes up where Daydream Nation left off. I think this one is a little more accessible, for both good and bad. But I really liked it.

I have no idea why something like this is on this list. It's just flat out boring, there's nothing in the insturmentals or lyrics that make you say *Hey* You have to listen to this before you die.

I really really liked this album and the visuals it evoked. Lou Reed makes heroin sound like a really good time.

Gasp - jazz I actually "like?" Well, I did like this one, a lot more than I expected to. I think the funk beats helped me get into the "grove" and stay with it.

I was trying to find a way to rate this higher than a 1. It has two singles that topped the charts, so it can't be THAT bad, can it. Yes, yes it can. It's terribly dated, way overproduced, bland, AND infuriating at the same time. It's really not good, and I'm glad it was removed from future versions of the book.

Good singer/songwriter album. One that would probably get a much higher rating if my parents played it more and I was more familiar with it. But overall I liked it, and will probably revisit again in the future.

It's fine electronic/dance music. It gets repetitive, but I think that just goes with the genre. Didn't hate it.

This is the album is where it all comes together and works for both Morrissey as a singer/songwriter and the Smiths as a whole. It's mostly sad, a little bit funny, and the title track really starts out the album with a bang. I hadn't listened to it in a few years, and I liked it even more than I remembered.

If you like Blues (and I do) this album is amazing. Not much more needs to be said.

It's a good album. Much better than I expected, and I liked it more than Achtung Baby. But as good as it is, I just don't see putting it on very often.

It was strange, and I didn't dislike it. Not sure I liked it a lot either. I'm guessing if I heard it a bunch more times I would end up liking or not liking it a lot more than I did on the first listen.

A band I was not familiar with at all. Really good stuff, will be listening to it again. Lots of comparisons to The Rolling Stones, but I think the Groovies did it better.

A very good live album, with crowd energy helping it out. Lots of fun listening to this one.

It's a little poppy, sure, but that's what I like about it. Super easy listening, very pretty, and engaging. Not for every day, but in the right situations, its the album you want to put on.

I found this to be super dated, especially compared to "Raising Hell" There's nothing bad about it, but it's not great either. Some albums you listen to and you can't believe what time period they were made in. This one, there is no way it was made anytime other than when it was.

It's at the top or near the top of the list of best hardcore albums of all time. And rightfully so! I completely get people who don't like this type of music (my wife being one of them, she was NOT happy with me when we listened to this one in the car) but for those of us who do, it's a classic album. Although as I'm now in my 40s and sitting down and watching TV with a beer in hand is my idea of a good time, TV Party isn't the anthem it was when I was in my teens.

I agree that both Joy Division albums are amazing. Unknown Pleasures is better, but this one is also excellent. Curtis voice and lyrics are dark, and sound almost like his suicide note. It’s a challenging record, for sure, but it doesn’t make it any less brilliant.

This is another easy 5 star. Picking a favorite Beatles album is like picking a favorite child. You just can’t do it. But this might be my favorite. For this review I listened to both the 2009 Mono and Stereo remaster. Like most early to mid Beatles albums, I much prefer the Mono, but this is the first one where it’s close. They don’t always pan the vocals all the way to one side, and actually play with the stereo mix sometimes in interesting ways. The mono is still my preference though. I’m really looking forward to listening to Giles Martin’s new stereo mix when it’s released. Would be more than 5 stars if I could. This album is on my list of top 10 personally influential albums of all time.

I actually enjoyed this one a lot more than I thought I would. Could do without Flavor Flav, but I like the messages, Chuck D is very engaging, and I really enjoyed some of the experiments they did with the stereo mix. Not something I’ll listen to a lot, but much better than most hiphop I’ve been exposed to.

Was listening to this in the car with my kids. And at first they both didn't like it. By about the 3rd or 4th song they were both talking about how it started making their toes tap. And a half hour in, they were all in. The album is just flat out fun!

I liked this quite a bit. Really great guitar work, of course, and Stewart's vocals just work with it. Strong album.

Sometimes you get an album to listen to that you haven't heard the whole album before (that's me with this one) but by the time you're done you realize you know 3/4 of the album because it got so much airplay. This album is full of great songs from beginning to end. Staight up rock, done extreemly well. Good stuff here, will listen to again and again.

Wilco is always good, some of the collaborations work well, some not as much. Not my favorite Wilco endeavor but still very good.

I don't like it as much as Folsom Prison, but I think the stage banter might be better. Seems a little more like a raw concert. Still excellent. I listened to the later release of the Full Concert (which still isn't the *full* concert) which has more songs than the original and I think it works better.

Not for me. Not even a little bit. Type of music that puts me to sleep or actively annoys me.

Great album. Major hits, and I was singing along with most of the album even though this was my first time listening to it all the way through. Still not quite as good as Aja in my mind, but that doesn't take away from it being an excellent album.

An excellent album with some great songs. And Psycho Killer is phenomenal, I may have given this album 5 just for that one songX luckily, the rest of the album is super strong. David Byrne is the type of artist that people like Bjork wished they were.

It's another 5 star Beatles albums. It's almost boring rating Beatles albums, they're pretty much all going to be 5 stars. Two of the best songwriters of all time in the same band, groundbreaking recording techniques, and a discography that is top-notch all the way through almost makes it unfair. Some of their best songs are on this one.

Solid album. Nothing amazing, nothing bad. Sounds like the soundtrack to a movie set in the early 80s for a specific type of character.

Didn't liket he first time I listened to Common, didn't like this one, either. Super boring, except when it's annoying.

It's a fine album. But it's not great, it's just fine. Some good things, some not great things. It is NOT The Beatles, that's for sure.

This was terrible. As someone who really dislikes Kanye, I was surprised by how much more I hated this album than I thought I would. Just terrible.

Meatloaf is cheesy. But it works, somehow. It's not great, it's not bad, I don't hate it, I don't love it. The songs may be a little long for me.

I really enjoyed it, but it was nothing that I would call spectacular. Very good is where I'm at with it, and would gladly listen again.

I liked some of the guitar work, but overally this wasn't anything I could get into. Didn't want to turn it off, so it had that going for it, I guess.

I like Lou Reed, but this was my least favorite of his solo stuff that I listened to. Some of it was interesting, but a lot of it was, unfortunately, forgettable.

It's fine, but I'm not sure why it's on the list. Nothing you HAVE to hear here. Even albums (not all, but some) that I've rated lower, I can get why they're on the list. This one, not really. The single is fine.

This is a great album all the way through. Love it.

This wasn't for me. It's well made, but I just didn't care.

It's very pretty, but it's not something I loved. It's fine.

I don't know if this was just not for me, or if was actually really bad. But it doesn't matter, I really hated it. All the songs were the same, and boring. Some of the harmonies were good, to give it something nice to say about it. But I really, really, really wanted to turn this thing off after about 3 songs.

This is an album that was missed by me that shouldn't have been, it's right in my wheelhouse. I enjoyed it very much!

There's no denying that AC/DC can play big rock songs that are easy to like. And this one contains a bunch of them.

This album, while almost 30 years old when I was in high school, takes me back there. We listened to it a lot during some of my sports practices, so it's nostalgic there. It's not quite perfect, but it's pretty darn close.

These types of albums are the hardest for me to rate. There's no denying that it's good, she can sing, the songs are tight, etc. But I just don't like it. After a couple of songs I get bored.

I liked the bluesy bits, but they meandered sometimes and got boring at other times. Guitar work is good, and I liked that. Tom Waits is someone I won't listen to often, but if in the right mood, I can see putting this one on again.

Nothing good in here at all for me

I was surprised by how much I disliked this one. There is some Radiohead I like, OK Computer is fine, Creep is great. But I don't get this album at all.

This has been my favorite of the Byrds albums so far that we've gotten going through the list. Good stuff, very similar to early Beatles. I liked it,

Not for me. Just pretty boring overall.

I liked this fine. I could hear some of The Cure in it and it was fine. Would maybe listen to it again, but not anytime soon.

I really enjoyed this album. Mostly loud and fast (but with a few slower songs that also are great.) No surprise that someone who likes Flogging Molly or Dropkick Murphys would like this one, too.

There's something about blues that just makes me thing of sitting outside, swatting the mosquitos away, and drinking a beer while the smoker is rolling and a big old pork butt is becoming pull apart tender. I don't know why blues music makes me feel this way, but it does, every time. This album is just fine, though. Started off fairly strong, but there was a bit towards the end where I got a little bit more bored than I thought I should have.

This is nowhere near as good as Superfly for me. It's alright, and I do like the funky basslines. But mostly non-offputting, but forgettable.

This one surprised me. Half of the time I was wondering why I was listening to it. But then occasionally it would have a song that I really enjoyed. It's a strange album.

Uneven is the perfect word. Some great things, some really not great things. It's fine.

Lots of interesting things on this album. I actually really enjoyed it, and seeing the different directions it would go. I have a feeling this is one of those that you like more and more the more you listen.

The lyrics are pure poetry. The voice takes a bit to get used to. It's striped down production. I thinik the second half is stronger than the first, which is strange. I like this album, but it's not something I want to listent o all the time.

It's fine for a song or three. Not the worst country music I've heard. But damn, it gets super repetitive for a whole album. I didn't realize this was a real album people listened to. It gets posted like a meme to vinyl collector boards like Herb Albert's Whipped Cream and Other Delights all the time.

It's fine but I have no idea why I had to hear this before I died. It's good background music, but nothing more than that.

I have no idea why this album is on the list. It’s not offensive or anything but it’s so boring. Not for me.

It's a good album, but it gets a bit weird in parts. High energy, which is great. A solid punk album, but not a perfect one.

Listening to this one reminded me of driving around in the car with my grandfather when I was a kid visiting him for the summer. He was a huge Big Band guy, and this one took me back to then. It's easy to tap your toe to it, and I was surprised by how much I liked it, mostly due to those great memories.

I know I'm supposed to like this album. People lose their shit over it all the time. I just didn't care, and I found it completely boring. It's just not for me, and I'll take the hit for not being able to appreciate it.

Not a band or album I was familiar with, at all. But this was really interesting and I think I liked it a lot!

This one is pretty weird. But not always in a terrible way, though at times it's pretty rough. But some things on it did resonate fairly decently and it wasn't a complete waste.

Really surprised by how much I liked this album. I don't know much about Van Morrison outside of his few hits. But this whole album works. Good stuff here.

Cypress Hill was one of the worst live acts I've ever seen (and it might not have been their fault, being the inbetweener set between MxPx and The Offspring makes no sense.) I didn't really find much in this album for me. It's fairly repetitive and mostly uninteresting.

Whoops, missed rating this one. It's Rush, so it's going to be really good musicianship. The first half is better than the second, by a lot.

Wainright might have the most annoying voice I've heard since the last Bjork album I listened to. It starts off with an absolutly terrible crappy "song" (I'm not sure I even want to call it that) and doesn't get much better the rest of the way. An entrie album of completely boring tracks sung by a whiny bitch.

It started off pretty strong. I'm thinking that Zappa didn't like Hippies very much. But the back half of the album sort devolved into something that was too experimental for me. But the good outweight the bad, I think. Tough one to rate.

It was just okay. Queen doesn't seem to have great albums, just great songs, and I don't know if there were any great songs on this one for me.

I really like listening to the Talking Heads. This album is one I need to listen to more. The Take Me to the River cover is great.

Lots of great harmonies. A nice and pleasant album to listen to.

I really hate Slipknot. The drums, like the other Slipknot album, are amazing. But everything else is a dumpster fire and I cannot believe that there are two of these albums on this list when one was way, way to many.

While I'm still waiting for some Ziggy Stardust Bowie to show up on the list, this might be my favorite of the Bowie we've gotten so far. Even the weird stuff in the second half worked for me. It's not an album I would put on often, but it's good.

This is the Beck album I've listened to the most after Odeley. It's full on singer/songwriter Beck and I really enjoy it. Side note - I think this is the only album I ever had on SACD. I couldn't tell the difference.

Fairly forgettable. Great voice, but none of the songs grabbed me at all.

Was surprised by how much I enjoyed this album. Didn't know much about them, of course I've heard one or two of these songs before. But I liked it quite a bit.

It was fine. Nothing I really liked or disliked in this one. Forgettable

Had never heard this album before. I knew the opening track because it was on the High Fidelity soudtrack, but found I really liked the whole album.

I love this album. You can see why it's considered an influence for like half of the bands that I consider now to be my favorites.

Really good pop album, some standout songs. Cinnamon Girl is great

I never really gave Winehouse a chance when she was alive. Which was my bad, she's got a great voice, and I enjoyed this album a lot.

It's a good album. It's actually close to great. Except it's a few songs too long, and since all the songs are so similar to each other, that really shows that you could've cut down a couple of them and not missed much. But all of the songs, even if they're similar to each other, are really good with that synth driving the beat.

After listening to this album, all I can say is, wow, I don't care about KISS at all. At least not this album. I was actually surprised by how little I knew this album, always assuming that I knew more KISS than I do. Completely forgettable album. That said, I wouldn't turn it off, either. Perfectly fine to listen to in the car and not pay attention to it.

Not for me. Some of the bits were fine. But it sounded like listening to a movie soundtrack at best. Was glad when it was done and I can't see I'll put it on again.

This is a great record all around. Some crazy sounds that all work together and some amazingly catchy songs.

Another album I thought that maybe I would enjoy. And yet, I really, really, didn’t. Seems like the beats were all similar except the covers and Killing Me Softly. The later ALMOST makes me raise this to a 2, but the number of times I wanted to switch to anything else was just too much for me.

I was trying to give this one a 5, because there are 5* worth of great songs on this. But it's too long. Just a *little* bit of editing would've made this a much stronger album. It's still great, though!

There was movie theater near me that used to play some first run movies, but mostly indie and art house type stuff. We would go to it so often when I was in high school and college that we would have seen everything that was offered that we had heard of and have the clerk at the counter just suggest something to watch. Saw a few really good movies that way (the best being Saving Grace, that's a great movie, I recommend seeing it at some point.) This is the music they would play in the lobby and theaters before the movie started. Perfectly fine to ignore but not something I enjoy.

It started out okay. But man did this thing drag by the end. Why did he feel the need for a 18 minute "song" to end the album? I didn't get the second half of this thing at all.

I don't understand this album at all. The symphony does nothing, and even if it could, it's pushed so far back in the mix you can't hear it most of the time. Essentially you're left with a bad Metallica live album with some annoying symphony things you hear occasionally. This is not good.

Really enjoyable album with some great songs. Roadrunner is amazing, of course, but other good stuff on this album too.

I don't get it. Of course, I'll sing along to Pour Some Sugar when I'm drunk, who wouldn't? But past that, I really don't understand the appeal of this type of Hair Metal at all. Never really wanted to turn it off, though.

All Bowie past his Ziggie days seems to be sort of the same. It's fine, but nothing I would consider groundbreaking or must listen I do need to relisten to Blackstar, though, as I think that one was a little more poignant.

This was fine. I actually enjoyed some of it quite a bit, but other parts dragged a little. Not sure I had to hear it, but wasn't terrible.

I did not like this one as much as Seventeen Seconds. This was was a little too moody, too dark, and too depressing. Some good soundscapes in here, though.

I really didn't know I disliked Radiohead so much. Some of the guitar work is pretty good, but the voice is driving me crazy.

Literally name checks a truck in the first verse. Absolutely not. This is trash, complete and total trash.

I guess I know that one song. But not sure what I head to hear the rest of the album.

It's a dance album, so it's not something I'm usually going to look to put on. But there were a few songs on here that I found myself tapping my toes to, so it's successful in that at least.

Listening to this album and I couldn't believe that all these songs were from the same one. From first track to last, this is just a great album.

I really like some of the blues and Detroit Rock sounds, and then out of left field is this West Side Story thing that was weird. Album starts off with the strongest song, and unfortunatly doesn't match that energy from there.

It was perfectly okay. Nothing I'm going to turn off, nothing I'm going to look out to listen to again.

I know this album is weird. It's strange, noisy, and really doesn't have any pop sensibilities. But for some reason, I have always liked it a lot.

I knew the singles because I've been alive and have ears. And I think the record guys did a good job picking the strongest songs as singles. The rest of the album never veers into "I want to turn it off" territory, but never gets into the "I'd choose to listen to this again" either.

I like Blur. I like this Blur album. This is one of my most played albums my senior year of high school and freshman year of college. Always happy when Blur comes on.

I really liked some of the songs, and really didn't like a few of them. Excellent bass and guitar work which kept it interesting. It was a fine listen.

Blues, rock, great songs. One of the best debut albums of all time? Great album

He sure can play that piano! But I still don't think I would ever choose to play this one again. Just doesn't hold my interest for over an hour.

Super dreamy, atmospheric, spacey music. Very interesting. But not something I want to listen to often.

I liked this one about as much as I liked Seventeen Seconds. Good moody, gothy music. Stuff to listen to on a rainy day, by yourself.

This is the Neil Young that I tend to like more. Folksy, mostly, but with some rock in there. A really good listen with some great songs.

Really good album. I like the flutes, they add a dimension that's different. The album tells a story, and it's funny at times. Sounds like the 70s.

This was terrible. Not only did the music not grab me even a little bit, but the mix was terrible. Call me wierd, but I think you should be able hear the vocals and not push them so far back in the mix that they're unlistenable.

I really like some of what is being done on here. But some of it doesn't quite click with me either. It's a good album though and I do think you should listen to it.

I really like a lot of Paul Simon songs and some of the best are on this album. And the ones that tell a story are my favorite. Only knock this album gets is that a few of the songs are just a bit too similar to one another. So a really good album, just short of great.

Was really enjoyable. Some very well known songs, some done differently than I've heard before. Not familiar with this recording before listening, but will probably listen again.

This was terrible. No reason to listen to this at all. So boring, I had a really hard time finishing it.

I really don't "get" the Butthole Surfers. Sometimes they have tracks or sections of tracks that are super interesting. Then it's just noise for noise sake at times, too. Maybe I need to listen to more, but this doesn't rise to the level of "really good" for me.

I'm not really all that familiar with PJ Harvey. Should deep dive in a bit more. I liked a lot on this album. But there was also quite a bit I didn't enjoy as much. Solid but not great.

Another great album by the Talking Heads. And another one that I immensely enjoyed. Some of the African beats are a bit weird on first listen but they really work.

This was not my thing at all. Other than One, all the songs sound the same and are, frankly, boring. I just don't think I like metal (or more specificially, don't like Thrash metal) Oh, and the mix is terrible. Drums sound like shit and there is no bass at all.

I had never heard this album before. And it was fine. No need to put it on again anytime soon, and nothing offensive here, either. Just all around fine.

I actually enjoyed this Byrds album for the most part. Not 100% of it. It sure was better than that awful country one they had. Probably won't go back to it anytime soon, but wasn't the worst thing I've heard.

I have never listened to an entire Jane's Addiction album, only know them from the radio play they got. So the first half of this album was enjoyable, a few songs I knew and some similar songs. But the album had a second half which isn't great and is, in fact, quite boring. So it's fine in the aggregate.

I really enjoyed this album. Some great songs on here. Not sure why, but it doesn't quite raise up to a 5 star for me. 4.5 if it was a thing?

This was the one Beatles album on the list I wasn't positive would get 5 stars at first. Then I listened to it again. And it's an EASY 5 star. Sure they song structure and lyrics are simplistic, especially compared to their other, later, works, but it's early 60s rock distilled into an album. And I need to listen to older Beatles more.

I was not familiar with this album at all. And it also wasn't what I expected. But I found that I was really enjoying it, and will listen to it again!

This is just terrible. Everything in this album has been done, and done better, by other people. Not for me at all.

First half to 2/3s of the album really caught my attention. Which is hard when I can't understand the lyrics. However the last bit started to drag a little bit. It's a 3.5, but I'll round up to 4 just because I was so surprised by how much I liked the start of it.

An 80s album that should've stayed there. No reason to listen to this, everything on here has been done better by other bands.

This album is squarely in my musical dead zone, from 2005-2015 I listened to almost no new music including this one. It's really good but a few of the songs were a little long and a little boring. Many of the songs could be on a soundtrack to any movie set in NY in the late 2000s

I lived through the 90s and I don't remember this band at all. And I'm perfectly happy to forget about them now.

Was really happy to listen to this one again. Some great 90s alternative pop songs on here.

Another really good album from Paul Simon. Different than other's hes'd done, the South African vibe is something a little off the wall. But it works, really well.

If you want to say that this is Nirvana's best album, I won't argue with you. If you want to say it's their 3rd or 4th best, I probably wouldn't argue with you there either. The album is amazing, a middle finger to the industry that made them a household name. Yet, despite Cobains best efforts, still managed to be an extremely successful album. For many years, Nirvana was my favorite band, and when I get to listen to one of their albums again, I am reminded why.

Exactly what I would expect from Bob Marley. And that's a good thing.

This is terrible. Just absolutely terrible. Wanted to turn it off almost as soon as I turned it on. I cannot fathom why this album is on this list, at all.

A couple of the songs get a little proggy for my liking, but I overall really enjoyed it.

This is another, no doubt about it, 5 star album. Yet I’d still choose to listen to Nirvana almost anytime.

Excellent album, great sounds (organ is amazing.) Another amazing debut album on this list.

I got through it fine. Soundtrack to some 60s romantic comedy. Nothing I would ever pick to listen to again though.

Very good noise pop album. Ethereal and engagning.

Started off strong but sort of trailed towards the end. It's fine. Not sure what I was supposed to get out of this that wasn't done by a lot of other albums on the list.

It's a Queen album. Which means there are 2-4 great songs that fit on a Greatest Hits album and the rest of the album is tough to get through. Some sonically interesting things on this album that made listening on headphone interesting. But interesting doesn't always equal fun or good.

I like some of the songs a lot. But I don't love the album as a whole. It's fine, some of the songs I'll add to a playlist but I don't see listening to the whole thing again anytime soon.

This has been my favorite Radiohead album so far. But I still only sort of liked some of it. Some of it I really didn't like, too.

Started off and I hated it. Then for a song or two I thought, oh this isn't too bad. Then I started to dislike it again. It's just too dated. Not for me.

For probably the second time in this challenge, I had to listen to an album almost immediately after finishing it. I had no idea that some of these songs were the same person let alone on the same album. I think, with more listening, that this one could seriously become a 5 for me, but it's not quite there yet. It's an eclectic collection of songs, but it somehow all works.

Such a great album. This is one that I revist often and will continue to do so. Noisy, lo-fi, punk-ish, and great.

I got this in a VMP subscription on vinyl and I remember liking it a lot more than I expected to. On second listen, I started to really like it. It's obvious that it's not standard pop music of US/UK and I can't understand any of it, but it's interesting and that's good enough for me.

It's just so boring. One or two songs got enough radio airplay that you can sort of remember them, but the rest of the album isn't exciting musically, lyrically, or vocally.

I didn't like this nearly as much as I like the Steely Dan albums I've heard and have rated here. It was fine, but I don't see a time I would choose to listen to this over one of the better options.

I don't like this one as much as The Queen is Dead. And since I gave that one a 4, I only have one place to go with this one.

I enjoyed this album a lot. Some great songs on here that you'll know. A couple of songs that weren't my favorite but overall it was a really good album.

I'm not a fan of this type of music, usually. But there is no denying the talent on this album, the wordplay of the artists, and the interplay of each of them. I shockingly, to me, really found myself enjoying it all the way through.

This is probably my favorite standalone Eagles album. It's the first one where they sort of shed their country sound and go pure mainstream rock. Maybe a bit too safe or pop for some, but overall, I'm happy when most of the songs on this album come on. And sure, Hotel California has been overplayed, but it doesn't take away from the fact that it's overplayed because it's excellent.

There's something about a guitar player that plays with the amount of feeling that Santana does that makes it a joy to listen to. Even if I don't understand the words to the some of the songs (and some don't have lyrics at all!), I enjoy it.

This was a chore to get through

While I'm not really a Modonna fan, I can find stuff in her early work that I can enjoy and appreciate. This one could've been made by so many different people in the late 90s/early 2000s, it was just uninspired.

Arcade Fire is another band that I think I should know more than I do. I have heard this album before, and I listened to it again and still enjoyed it. I don't quite love it, but I like it a lot.

I enjoyed this one more than I expected too. Maybe a little long in parts, but overall, I quite enjoyed it. The lead singer's voice is a little whiny but he at least puts some emotion into it.

This is one of the higher jazz ratings I think I'll give. I liked some of it, I enjoyed the in and out of the song length, and I liked the nostalgia that it brought of listening to this with my grandfather. All that said, I can't ever see putting it on again for no reason.

Seems like this should've shown up on my radar at some time in the past, but it never did. I really liked it to start, but by the end the vocals started to grate on me a bit.

First few songs were very strong. I could see them on a playlist of other easy listening songs and fitting in quite nicely. Then it got a little weird in the middle and end. Not terrible, but I thought it started out stronger than it finished.

I liked this one a bit more than Ritual De Lo Habitual. Seemed a little more even throughout and I didn't dislike half of it. Would listen to this one again.

I liked it. Blue is better, this is more of a 3.5 but I'll round up.

I thought this was just okay. Fine, nothing really exciting here for me.

Have yet to be proven wrong. The first 4 Zep albums are all 5 stars.

It's impossible to deny how good the production is, and anytime Snoop comes on it's usually a pretty good time. But I found myself bored at times with it, and the sameness of the lyrics and messages. And the skits are terrible.

I really liked the raw vocals of Smith and enjoyed listening to this album.

Not sure why this is on the list or why I had to listen to it. Every song sounds the same, and they're not anything I would ever choose to listen to again. Except the spoken word H2Ogate which at least sounded different (but still wasn't good.)

It's very 90s but seems fairly generic 90s. It's fine, I'd listen to it again, maybe, but I won't search it out to put on.

I thought this was fine. Nothing stood out but I didn't dislike it, either. Would maybe listen to it again.

This album is just excellent. The poetry of the lyrics paired with the stripped down guitar gives the album intimacy, like you're in the room with Smith as he's singing about the sad things in life. I really love this one.

I didn't know that Heard it through the Grapevine was 11 minutes long. Or that I wanted to hear an 11 minute version. I think it might be the first CCR album I've listened to all the way through and I thought it was a greatest hits album. Just really really good.

I really like this album. British version of that mid 2000s rock. Biggest knock I have against the Arctic Monkeys is that everything they've done (that I've heard) sounds pretty much the same, BUT, this is the first time they did it that way and I like it.

I kept waiting for it to get ANY better. And it never does. When the children’s choir is one of the better points, you have a dud of an album.

It's what happens when you cross 80s pop with Wagner chants. And it's just as strange as you would think it would be. But just because it's strange does not make it good. And I really didn't enjoy it at all.

I really liked some of the harmonies and the guitar work. But I have to be honest, I got a little bored with it at times. It's not bad, not at all. But there's other folk I would put on before this one.

I was really surprised by this album, thinking I was going to hate it based on the type of music I read it was. But I found it to be fairly enjoyable, although at little disjointed and, at times, a little long. I may have to revist this one.

The album is too long. It's the biggest knock I have on it, it's too long for how unvarried the vocals are on it. Many of the songs, while the messages can be different, just "sound" the same. It's fine for a little while but, IMO, overstays it's welcome. I really like some of the funky bits. It's a perfectly fine album to have on, but not one I'm going to seek out to listen to again any time soon.

This is the usual type of music I say I don't like, but there's something about Lynn that's so complelling that you can't help but notice. I prefer Coal Miner's Daughter to this one, but this one was perfectly fine to listen to. Although I have to say that the quality of the recording itself took me out of the music a little bit, it's pretty bad.

It's werid and disjointed, and I cannot figure out why I had to hear this one. Apple isn't my favorite to start with and this might be my least favorite of her albums I've listened to. At least she can sing, so she has that going for her, I just didn't understand the percussion, the strong structure, the recording quality, etc. The only plus it got is that, while I never enjoyed it, I never got to the point where I really thought about turning it off, either.

I think the first 4 songs are pretty much perfect, they sound like what I think of when I think Heavy Metal. Depending on version (I listened to the Uk version with the 10 min cover of Warning) the second half I think shows some cracks in the “perfectness”. It gets a little too bluesy (and I like blues) but Sabbath isn’t the best at that sound. This is a 4.5 album but I’ll bump it to 5 because of the significance of the start of a sound.

It's weird. I prefered Snoop on Dr's Chronic album over his own album. A couple of songs that i liked a lot, but overall it was more of the same. Really good production, no surprise there, but just not for me.

Ehh, not for me. Some of it was sort of interesting, but it's all too similar to itself. And it's just too weird.

When the two best songs are the opener and closer and they're the best, not because they're good, but because the singer doesn't sing on them, you have a bad album. It's very very bad. The singer is what you think of when you think of a parody of bad 80s singers, like I kept waiting for them to be in on the joke.

Like most Morrissey, if I'm in the right mood, it's a good album. I enjoyed it and will listen to it again.

Based on my rating scale of 1 == “I wanted to turn this off multiple times” I have no choice but to rate this a 1. I must have double checked the playlist every single song hoping I was closer to the end of the album. Drums and guitar were good at times and I didn’t even mind a few of the weird songs in the middle that had no lyrics, but every time the singer “sang” I wanted to skip to the next track.

I listeneted to this one twice because I wasn't sure what to do about it. I think I landed on "it's fine." I like some of the songs, some of the lo-fi stuff works. Sometimes the singers vocals work well, sometimes I really dislike them. I will probably listen to this again, but not anytime soon.

I loved this album. 40+ minutes of hard, fast, rock. Lemmy's vocals are unique but work. Amazingly full sound produced by just three guys.

It's pretty good. I still could do with a little less Flavor Flav, but Chuck D makes up for it.

Band sounds like a Talking Heads cover band but not done as well. It's fine, but nothing that I'm looking forward to listening to again.

U2 starts out as a meh band for me. On top of that, this is a very meh album. Some popular songs that you can't escape but nothing here that is worthy of going back to.

It's just boring. No message that I care about. Fades into the background as if it's not even there. The singles I can get how they got popular but the rest just exists and no better than that.

Do I really like this as a 5 star album? I guess I do. Sure, it's dated, it's 65+ years old at this point. But without music like this, we wouldn't have any of the music that we get today, either. So it's pretty great.

Yeah, we all get it. You're super edgy. You're the industrial equivalent to the drive time DJs saying things just to shock people. And your shock value is about as nuanced as the book report from your typical high school listener. That all said, I just don't hate it.

This one is a little more out there and a little more avante garde than Country Life. But I don't like or dislike it any more because of it. It's fine.

Didn't connect with this one. Voice isn't for me. She needs Cale/Reed to help her out.

Considering how much I didn't care for the other Marvin Gaye album we got, I was shocked by how much I liked this one. Great songs and messages and extreemly well made. It's pretty good.

This is pretty much perfect/peak blues. I can't think of a blues album I like more than this one.

It's pretty and haunting. And I can't see ever listening to this again.

This is a very good album, but not one I can listen to often. If I'm in the perfect mood, it's good to put on, but I just can't rate something very high if it's not something that I'm happy whenever it comes on.

I love Frank Black/Black Francis/Pixies/etc. While his solo stuff is a little more hit and miss compared to some of the Pixies pre-breakup albums, this is probably my favorite of his solo albums and I really love it.

This is a great album. Have listened to it many times and will continue to do so. I always go back and forth between if I like this one or Slanted and Enchanted better.

I didn't know what to expect since I had never listened to this album before. But I quite enjoyed it. I liked different types of guitar Jeff Beck brought to this album, psychadelic, blues, surf, and straight up 60s rock. Good stuff, I'll keep this one in rotation.

This isn't as strong as his other albums on this list, but even while not being as strong, it still has a few songs on it that are really good. I won't have any problem putting this album in on an easy listening playlist.

I have no idea why I'm drawn so much to this album, but I just am. It's 80s synth-pop at it's best, with some banger singles. I've listened to this album countless times and will continue to do so.

People think that Costello has too many albums on this list, and that might be true. But his first three albums are all deserving and should be on the list. This is an easy 5 star.

Fine? It was fine. Disco isn't really my thing, but the good songs on this album are super catchy and I understand why I hear them at every wedding I go to.

I wish I could give this one 6 stars. There are few albums in my life more important to me or why I like and listen to the music I do. Ever since I heard this album in high school (20+ years ago), where it blew my mind, I have been chasing that same feeling. I'm don't think I even try to listen to all 1001 albums if it wasn't for hearing this one. The DKs mix punk and hardcore with lyrics that are funny with a powerful message. It's everything I like in music.

It's very good. There are certain singers/artists that are just special and Mould is one of them. Sure, it's early 90s alt distilled into a single album, but there's nothing wrong with that, that sound the crunchy then jangly guitars, the severe overdubs, etc, are all part of the charm. Also I hear a lot of influences for more popular music (espcially early Foo Fighters) on this album. Sort of how you can tell how much The Pixies influenced Nirvana, I feel Grohl must have had this album on repeat when he was creating writing.

This wasn't for me. A little too much Ramblin I guess. I can see how he would go on to influnce artists that I do like, so that's good. But I can never see putting this one on again.

Maybe not quite as good as Aja (my favorite Steely Dan album) but still a very good album with great insturmentation, jazz and pop hooks, and a few songs that are quite catchy!

It has two great songs. And the rest is very very meh. I want to rate this a 2.5 but I guess I'll bump to 3 just because I like Season of the Witch so much.

I quite enjoyed this one. Of course you can't escape Don't You Want Me, but the rest of it I liked a lot as well. Heavy synth-pop that I found myself bobbing my head and tapping my toe to. Would listen to this one again.

It's fine. Beats are fine. I could see a time where I would listen to this again, in the right circumstance and right frame of mind. But not going to be added to heavy rotation.

This might be my favorite Neil Young album I've heard. I like the raw and emotional sound and the blues licks. Really great stuff.

This is my favorite Wilco album and it's great. I listened to this album a ton when it came out and it's stayed in heavy rotation since then. It's got a great blend of diferrent musical styles. Simple yet compelling, and great studio work. This is just a great album.

I didn't love the first Primal Scream album I listened to, and I liked this one less. I don't understand why this is on the list, outside of a small pocket of people in the UK, who is listening to this?

I didn’t enjoy this one at all. First off, the lyrics. Half of them are essentially unintelligible. With hip-hop, I think being able to actually understand the words is semi important and for half the songs that wasn’t possible. And when you could understand the lyrics, they seemed very inane and superficial. But the worst part was the production. I couldn’t stand it. Way too compressed, which didn’t help the earlier lyrics issues, and very distracting. While there has been a few hip-hop albums on this list that I have enjoyed, this one was not one of them.

I had no idea what to expect going into this one. And I found that I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I was going to. I could see listening to this one again. Maybe not soon, but sometime in the future.

God, please, no more Bjork. Her voice is the musical equivalent of a vocal fry. It's so unlistenable that I seriously, at times, question my sanity as to why ANYONE likes her. Like, can you not hear how god awful her singing is. Doesn't it pierce your skull to the point that you want to gouge your ears out because the blood dripping from your ears would be a more pleasant experience than having to listen to her alternate between warbling and shrieking? Please tell me this is the last Bjork album on the list.

Does it deserve the 5 stars I’m going to give it? Maybe not quite. It’s a solid 4.5 but I’m a sucker for punk and pop-punk so it gets bumped up.

I just don't think I'm a fan of Prince. He has moments of brilliance and some of that shows on this album. But as a whole the album is fairly boring.

Really good indie-pop album. Sounds like the late 90s, and could be the soundtrack to a bunch of movies set at that time, but in the best way.

Hard album to rate. Influential, sure. Good? Not really. Vocal recording sucks, lyrics aren't good. Can see how this is sort of going to be what heavy rock/metal will be, but not something that's as good as others that were doing it just slightly later.

This album didn't do it for me. Jones can really sing, but I wasn't interested in the stories he was telling, and found the overall album to just be *too* country/western/whatever. Not a genre I really like and this album did nothing to change my mind about that.

It was fine. Couple of the genre changes were jarring, not necessarily bad but not expected. But overall fairly generic. Not sure why I had to listen to it.

I didn't enjoy this at all. The first song sounds like you're stepping on thousands of ducks in a field. After that it gets a little better, but not anything I would choose to put on.

Surprising how much I enjoyed this album. It's not great, but it's good and I will listen to it again.

There are a handful of albums from the 90s that I have listened to countless times. This is one of them. One of the best pop-punk/skate punk albums ever made and Basket Case might be the perfect pop-punk song. The whole album is amazing. And it hit at just the right time for me, 14 years old, Nirvana is done, and I'm looking for something new. It's close to the top of all albums that are responsible for my musical tastes for the rest of my life. Also F.O.D is just a great song. Feel like I need to quote parts of it daily.

This album did nothing for me and I wanted to turn it off many times. Uninspired 90s era R&B that's just flat out boring at best. The only semi-interesting things were the Busta bookends, but they weren't even songs. Hard pass, will never put on again.

Straight forward rock, proto-punk, punk, whatever you want to call it. Some decent shredding, too. Songs are simple and funny and you can see how this album would go on to influence so much other music that I listen to all the time. One of the few albums that I wanted to put back on again right after listening to it. Great stuff.

Still waiting for Ziggy Stardust, but this one wasn't bad. Actually it was good, probably my favorite Bowie we've listened to so far. Good stuff.

It's good. But it's sort of like you ran Sonic Youth through a generic 90s Grunge filter and this is what you get. No where near as good as Daydream Nation or Goo. But still not bad, I enjoyed it and will listen again.

I can thank the MC5 for doing what would eventually become punk. But I just don't really jive with this album much. The recording quality isn't there, which is tough since it's live and everything. The songs are just okay. It's fine, and I will listen to it again, but more because I feel I have to than because I actually really enjoy it.

I liked it. It's not as good as Loveless but I will listen to it again.

Very meh. Starts off not strong, then the guy raps at one point? I didn't like this one at all. More UK stuff from the book that doesn't translate to the rest of the world.

Ah, the Grateful Dead. Dead Heads will say you have to see them live. Maybe, but I can't stand 20 min songs that you forget what you were playing by the end. Just not my thing, there's no reason for a song to be that long. But that said, I actually really like some of their music. Because the songs start and stop, like, you know, SONGS should. And I like this album. I've listened to it before and I will again.

Noisy rock, but fun to listen to. I had not heard this one before, but I will make sure it gets on my rotation.

A throwback to 70s Southern Rock and done very well. There's a few tracks that I could do without, I find most double albums could use some editing, but overall I was pleasently surprised. This is not a band that I would've thought that I would like before giving them a chance. Surprises are good.

I thought it was okay. Like most electronica, there are a few songs that might be brilliant, and I really enjoy. Then the rest seem to be filler and get to the point of repetitivness very quickly. But the couple of really good songs probably bump it up a point, between a 3 and a 4 for me, I'll go up to a 4.

This was very strange. Like really really out there weird. But there is something compelling in it, I didn't hate the thing. I'm not planning on listening to it anytime soon, but there is just something about it.

I think I would rate every Beatles album 5 stars, but there are a few, including this one, that would get more than 5 if it was an option.

For some reason I thought the generator said that this was 1973. And I was blown away thinking how could this be made in the early 70s. Then I double checked. Oh, 1997. Generic electronica from the 90s, that makes more sense. It's fine. I need to learn to read better.

There's a couple of good songs on here, but it's not great. It's not bad, either.

No. Just no. That warbling voice is so annoying that I couldn’t get past it to try to listen to the lyrics and see if they’re interesting or not.

It’s fine. Too many covers for me to feel it really should be included on this list. But nothing wrong with it.

I didn’t hate it. Didn’t really like it much, either. Don’t see myself putting this one on again.

I liked it fine. Didn't love it, though. Seems like something I should like more than I did?

Couple of songs I liked okay, and I a bit sad that so much of the social commentary hasn’t changed in 30 years. But what is it with these hour+ albums? They’re too long unless they’re brilliant and this one isn’t. Probably would been a 3 star if they edited it a bit.

One of the easiest 5 stars I'll give this entire challenge. Led Zeppelin produced an unbeliveable amount of great music in the three year span between I and IV, but this one is my favorite. Maybe that makes a little basic, but I don't care. Stairway doesn't even bug me when you hear it in the context of the album (and the only time it ever bugs me is just because it's so overplayed.) Just a great album start to finish.

What a great album. So many killer songs and staples of classic rock radio. There are a few easy to define genres of rock and roll with Southern Rock being one of them. And no one does Southern Rock better than Lynryd Skynyrd (but god do I hate typing their name out, I have to double check the spelling everytime!)

This is a weird album. Couple of songs in the beginning sound like they could be at place at a circus, then it turns industrial. But I don't think I liked any of it.

I didn't really like this much. Couple of the songs were interesting and listenable. And I never wanted to turn it off, so that's good (and I liked the runtime.) But I can't say I liked any of it.

I was aware of a few of these songs before, and the ones I know are the ones I liked the best. It's a good album, but not great. I will listen to it again, though.

I liked this album a lot. Didn't quite love it. Will play it again, though, no doubt about that.

It's good but I like some of VU's other stuff better, and some of Reed's solo stuff better. Not a bad album at all, but not my favorite.

I liked this quite a bit. Really good pop/psychadelic stuff here. I'll listen to it again, sometime, but probably not anytime real soon.

Meh? It started off fine, but it devolved into something that I'm not sure it knows what it is. A little too much dance for me.

If you ask me to name a Psychadelic record from the 60s, there's a VERY good chance that this will be the one I mention. It's excellent, one of the best examples of that type of sound that I know.

I like the singles. The rest is fine, too, I guess. Beastie Boys are like that band that you don't mind when they come on the radio, but an entire album is a little much (and this one is too long).

This is really bad. I'm not sure I liked any of it. And some if it I downright hated.

I didn't need to hear this one. Some of the beats/production were at least interesting. But I will never put this one on again.

I liked this one a bit more than A Rush of Blood. But it’s still pretty meh. I mean it’s fine but it’s nothing I’m going to choose to put on and listen to again.

I liked this a lot. Sounds a lot like other bands I like but it's own thing at the same time. I'll add this one to the rotation, which is great for an album I was unfamilar with!

Didn't grab me, but never wanted to turn it off. It's fine.

I've listened to this album a couple of times and I just don't get Wu-Tang. Someone needs to explain to me why they're so groundbreaking/influential/etc. I'm sure that's on me. The second half of the album is better than the first half, or at least I enjoyed it more. But I doubt I listen to this one again anytime soon.

Take On Me is a banger, that's for sure. But the rest of the album has nothing that grabbed me as something I had to hear. It's fine, nothing I wanted to turn off either, but nothing I'm going to put on again (except for Take On Me)

Was really luck that this one came up on a very rainy Monday morning. It really set the mood for the album before even listening to it. It's dark, moody, and beautiful.

I liked some of this. But I really didn't like some of it, too. Some of the insturmentation is really good and interesting. Some of the vocals are fine, but some are utterly uncomprehensible. I don't think I'll be putting this on again anytime soon.

I was surprised I liked this one as much as I did. That's not to say I loved it or anything, I just found that the bluegrass and banjo thing worked well and some of the studio interludes were interesting. But can we admit it's too damn long? Seriously, this didn't need to be two hours. Like most double (triple?) albums, this would've been a lot better if cut down to 45 mins. 3.5 record, round down because of the length.

Kanye is a terrible human being and I wish he wasn't talented so I wouldn't have to hear about him. But he is, and it's evident on this album. By far my favorite of the Kanye we listened to. That's not to say I enjoyed it, I didn't really. But I can see how much talent is here. Give me this 100 times over that terrible Yeezus album

Never got to the point where I wanted to turn it off, but never really clicked either. Not the worst thing we've listened to but I'll never put it on again.

Can I really be giving an album I've never heard of before a 5? I think I am. Maybe it's just because I've been in a rut of fairly "meh" albums for the past couple of weeks, but this one sort of blew my socks off. Driving, crunchy, loud guitars that change mid song, vocals just short of a hardcore scream but still very interesting. I really liked it. Maybe my favorite "new to me" album since starting this project.
