I liked this album, there were a few cuts I was unfamiliar with that I really enjoyed and will go back to. With that said, there was a lot of tracks I didn't like all that much that I felt dragged the project down. I'm thinking a strong 6/10.

There were a lot of tracks I like off of this. Some really neat sounds and definitely need to revisit. At the same time, there were some kind annoying sections as well that I don't want to hear again. Could get very 'winy.' Certainly a classic. I thinking a light 6 personally.

I loved this project. I had heard many cuts from it before, but never the whole thing from start to finish. I look forward to playing it again and again.

I really enjoyed this tape. A lot funkier than I had anticipated. A lot of soul and just easy listening all around. Will definitely return to it. 7.5/10.

I'm glad I got exposed to this. Definitely wish to return to it, but not in too much of a hurry. Reminded of the Talking Heads if they were worst at some points. Cool songs and a really solid project. I thinking a 7/10.

I thought this was very mediocre. The singing was not good, the lyrics felt uninspired, and the instrumentals sleepy and off-target. Reminded of a worst Nick Mulvey.

This felt like B-sides from a Toy Story movie. There were some gems in here, but all I could think of was Monk and Pixar. A lot of tedious tracks as well. But some good ones. I'm thinking a light 4.

This album totally rocked! Super impressed, one of the best punk albums—or live album I've ever heard. Had never heard of these guys but will dig into them more and for sure being replaying this. Really resonated with me upon first listening.

This album totally rocks! So many classics. Only one or two I didn't know, even though if you had asked me prior to this listen to name a Boston song, I couldn't. Really impressed with this.

I liked a lot of individual aspects of this album, but didn't love it one the whole. Songs felt repetitive and sleepy. It is also kinda erratic, with some songs being heavy, synth loaded bops and others more like singer song-writer post-punk alt.

The Fall
This had some great moments on it but felt a bit tedious to listen to. You really have to be in the right mood for it, but it's some great punk. I can see a time a place for it but mostly I think it was important to hear once to better understand British post-punk.

I did not enjoy this. It was laborious to listen to and maybe I just wasn't in the mood, but they just came off as so winey. Would not recommend.

First track I liked was 'Falling to Pieces.' 'War Pigs' is obviously a classic. Overall did not enjoy this record. A bit rocky a bit punk, but I'm not even especially glad to have heard it. Will not be returning to this one.

This is easily the lowest quality recording so far on this list. Can't say I'm enjoying it too much. Very raw? But I don't think it sounds good or that they're doing anything special.. No need to listen again.

I didn't care for this. Super receptive, annoying voices and uninspired writing. Boring and a waste of time. Also, I'm in a real bad mood and haven't even finished but sounds like Nickelback.

This is dope! Finally some fucking hip-hop. This would appear to be Method Man's first album. The quality isn't great and some of the beats I find tedious and unappealing, but Method has such command with his distinct voice I could listen to him on just about anything.
