Theres like 3 fun songs buried in a 17 song mess of an album that felt like the funkiest slog possible

Excellent live album with great musicianship, but it's strongest as a showcase of Kurt Cobain's deep love for music.

Good album, early songs weren't incredible to me but last two are a great end to the album. 0 songs favorites.

I mean it's incredible, genius album 5 stars, no notes, a killer start to finish. 1 Favorite: When doves cry.

Great noise pop, love this genre, Psychocandy is better though and by a solid margin.

One of the best Christmas albums ever. Phil Spector was a genius, too bad he was a piece of shit.

Primo art-alt-rock from the 2000s. Some songs hit better then others but that last song is incredible.

The entire b side is all skips and the lyrics are such 60s European bullshit but the wall of sound production is just top notch and Jackie's a fucking killer opener.

Primo college rock, slow start into a strong middle and end, It's the end of the world as we know it (and I feel fine) continues to be a truly great song

Beautiful soundscape, a bit slow and repetitive but that's likely because it's not really meant for active listening, also the last track has the most animal crossing 1 am flute of all time.

Good 90s sad boy art rock, sounds good, but I can never take 90s sad boy shit seriously.

Yep that's the stones alright

Cheesy 80s, good songs in the middle but too long and the impact of songs about loneliness is somewhat tempered when the sax solo kicks in

Not bad or anything, but once it hits why worry? The rest of the album is interminable and I don't feel like I HAD to hear this album before I died.

Good album, not much to say except it's funny how clear it is this is before album structure became important, literally just a pile of songs

Good experimental rock, I liked it except for the ukulele in the middle

Goddamn this Obama era jangle rock is aggressively not for me.

Great Jazz album, likely the best album ill give a three simply because I doubt I'll listen to it again

Good soil album with some strong 80s influence

Not bad or anything, just not for me

idk I just got bored these 70s soft rock story songs never do anything for me

Hell yeah Judas Priest!!

awww yeah I wanna funk

One of the best albums by one of the best bands of all time, unofficial 6 star

Holy shit there is not one millisecond of this album I do not genuinely and deeply hate with all my soul. Cure for the Itch is the best song on this album and it laps the rest so hard and fast that im amazed they wasted their time with other songs.

Theres like 3 fun songs buried in a 17 song mess of an album that felt like the funkiest slog possible

Not every songs incredible, but changes, life on mars and queen bitch immediately found homes among my loved songs

Massive improvement over her other album, there are enough lillith-fair-chick-rock sensibilities in this to be a good enough album to listen to, but it's nothing special and the last 2 songs are so so boring

A solid enough album knocked down to 2 stars for showing me the origin of the "put the lime In the coconut" line is a fuckin TERRIBLE novelty song

I doubt I'm gonna rate any New Wave album below a 4 but this is an easy 5 top notch New Wave-synthpop-new romantics, may be one of my favorite albums now

The good: easily Ye's best production, this is him at his height every songs a 10 out of 10, for example that interpolation of Sigmas somebody to love on bound 2 is immaculate The bad: not one word on this album didn't either age weirdly or badly, the hypersexuality just sounds gross now and man do the socially conscious songs feel unsincere knowing where Ye's head would end up All that being said the production and musicality of this albums still among my favorite rap albums of all time

A classic of 90s gangster rap, strongest as a demonstration of the anger of Rodney king era los Angeles

Not for me

Thankfully I heard this after Scott Walker's Scott 2, because this album is heavily influenced by it. It feels like an attempt to create a 90s version of Jackie, and it succeeds somewhat. The highs are not as high, the lows are not as low, and it doesn't pull off the sleazyness nearly as well. However, I appreciate the sheer theatricality of this album, it goes 10 miles over the top and it knows it.

Beautiful album, exceptional vocalist.

Post-Britpop's refutation of Britpop by simplifying the grandiose sounds of Britpop bores me so much my god this albums BORING

Pretty good folk rock, loved percy's song though i doubt I'll listen to this album again

A powerful album about being both nostalgic for and proud to have risen above the violent place you were raised, while also being immediately obvious just how much the songs on this album influenced rap for the next decade

Sorry, just found this album boring

Very trumpety

Great noise rock, not Sonic Youths best album and other bands would go on to take the noise rock sound farther and better (lightning bolt) but this is a solid album thats great to listen to

fuck its so good i gotta be one of those led zeppelin guys now huh

Solid disco album, a number of forgettable tracks buoyed by two of the greatest disco songs ever made.

Frontloaded with three great songs, then into a huge pile of bloat ended with a song about sexual abuse, a sung prayer to god and the three singers telling each other how great they are, outstandingly uneven album.

Bored me.

R.E.M at their most college rock and most boring, radio free europe is still fun but the rest of the album was eh

I don't like simple musicality, I have a major focus on music over lyrics and I tend to get bored with jazz. This album never had a chance

yep thats what i expected. its complex, difficult, and deeply interesting in a way that i loved. i'd never put a song on a playlist, but id buy a record and put it on every once in a blue moon

i get its early punk, but i didnt hear a song i "got" more then lust for life until L.A Blues and that song clicked

i can hear the influences on 80s hair metal all throughout the album, but its not exactly its zenith

i mean london calling came out the year before can i go listen to that instead? oh, i can? cool.

The theatricality of this albums fuckin great, idk if its the best album ever but i loves every second of it

prog rocks just fun

Jimi Hendrix's strongest work and a fantastic combination of classic blues styles combined with new forms of guitar and sound manipulation.

Absolutely classic blues, truly incredible stuff

Sadboy singer-songwriter just isnt for me

Classic soul, mindblowing that respect is an otis redding original but arethra definitely does it better

Dramatic singing of covers in a german cabaret style, produced and coworked by the divine comedy. good stuff but very uneven

Led Zeppelin continues to kick ass, not quite 4 levels but still great stuff

Great dance punk, maps is still a classic

Oh thats why theyre compared to the beatles

A classic of rap, but this specific 90s style doesn't click with me very well

Great debut album, but feels like it gets more props as a really great debut then it does as a really great album, it's uneven and the highs are high but the lows are so forgettable

Good reminder that New Wave was the genre of art school nerds, and sometimes that wasn't for the best. Sweet Dreams is still a banger, though.

Listening to this album served almost entirely to make me realise a lot of jokes ive heard before are at kid rocks expense and for good reason, rather be listening to icp goddamn

just an incredible album, loved it

Classic Early metal, makes me wish coven's witchcraft destroys minds and reaps souls was on this list, anyway this album is the most primo shit

Made me question if New Jersey was the most American state, so that really says everything
