I had somehow managed to never listen to an Arcade Fire song, so this was a great introduction. I really adored the color and arrpeggiation of the chords and the interweaving of various instruments and styles. The reviews really hype up the lyrics so I'll have to listen again in order to grasp them. The mixing initially bothered me, but my ears got used to it. It was just challenging to have the guitars louder than the vocals.

amazing 10/10

I didn't get through this the first time, but actually really enjoyed it the second time. Many of the songs I would listen to again.

I've listened to this album many many times but always am amazed by how many bangers it has

I like Elton John but the album didn't capture me that much. Out if his hits, Benny and the Jets just isn't my favorite. The first track was lovely :) and the blues was fun.

I just don't find thrash metal interesting. The album wasn't enjoyable to listen to

Wasn't bad but it was kind of boring

A classic :)

Feeling groovy :)) Also +1 for Carmel reference

I like grunge but it wasn't that interesting

Very interesting sounds! Still pretty 80s

BASED

Sad boi music

I think this deserves a 5 for musicality but have to give a 4 bc I might not listen again

This was so much fun! Much better than a lot of 90s rock-pop I've listened to

I really want to like this but I really disliked some of the covers.

amazing!!

Seems kind of ahead of it's time, very grunge. I think I would like it more if I was in the mood for it, but now I'm trying to work

Fun background music for working!

a 5 just for having all of those hits

Enjoyed this one much more than the last

Not as much of an old school rock and roll fan as I thought

punk rock yes!!

amazing. a classic. 11/10.

This one was emotional. My friend's little sister recited "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" at his funeral last week. Funny that it popped up so soon after.

There was one song I really enjoyed, but the rest was kind of meh. However, I don't like the Beach Boys much at all and was still pleasantly surprised by the beginning of the album.

I started off really liking this, already had been a fan of the first track. But it became full of too many genres, while still being overly loud and quintessentially 80s. +1 for gender nonconformity Update: -2 for racism

Had never heard this but heard the lyrical influences for other songs I know
