Always loved it. Still sounds surprisingly innovative and fresh when put on. A little front-loaded but it's alright. Just a great album in every way, just falling short of a five. A great record.

4/5

I liked it a lot but the early tunes were a bit less memorable to me mostly because u have already heard a couple R.E.M albums however it elevated from a very good record to a fantastic one at the midway point when "its the end of the world as we know it", probably my favourite on the record, plays, ending side one. One of my favourite things about the album is the band energy that gives even the filler tunes an essential feel. Also the production was was great great, and their first album with Scott Litt. Also the guitar was really good

I've already heard this one and I would call its Oasis' greatest achievement because the band just have an incredible energy and a truly admirable love for their craft on this record. The melodies are gorgeous throughout and The production, while very loud, never sounds grating and always guides the listener with only a couple instruments playing at once perfectly complementing the life-afferming feel of the music. An Essential Record.

One of the best, everything about it is top notch (except perhaps the sequencing) An essential record.

Not listened to any rap or hip hop before but this was amazing and the production was fantastic. An essential record.

Good but quite bland, the production sometimes lends a scratchy, lofi feel but other times it just sounds poor. A couple of the tunes were fantastic but several felt like padding. A decent record.

Nice folk rock but it was a little inconsistent, as the title track and the boxer were the strongest moments for sure. but I might need to hear it again. The production was warm and simplistic so no complaints there. A great record.

Started off strong but the second half was a big letdown and the songs got really bland and less focussed on mood and more on blues guitar but the first four songs were great

What struck me first was that the singer was really nasal and whiny, plus the lyrics were cliché. But, when I looked past that, I found the melodies were really nice, the live-in-the-studio production worked amazingly for the album and there wasn't much padding (only nine songs), overall I'm a little conflicted on this one. A decent record.

What an album. Classic double album that never drops the ball and shows such a wild variety, displaying Zeppelin's dominance as a force of gargantuan 70s rock. Gorgeous production, the band are so focused and tight and numerous showstoppers. I will say I've heard this album before, as with all zeppelin albums, so I may be biased, but this is nonetheless the absolute highlight of their career

Its good but bland and front-loaded

While I don't knowbas well as other how revolutionary it was for hip hop, I had a lot of fun with this record, Q-tip and Phife are obviously very talented MCs and the beats were killer, a couple of the tunes were not as memorable but that's me trying to not be too lenient on what's a five star. A great record

Nice and sometimes really strong but the production was bland and wasn't too memorable

It was mostly a great time but there was a lack of original tunes and a couple of the songs had funny production, also it was pretty short which was even more of an issue for the lack of original songs. I wanted to love this one but there were issues. A decent record.

It was ok

Didn't expect to like it but it was awesome, free bird in particular. Also the production was sharp, and the tunes were well sequenced only thing holding it back is poor, repetitive lyrics on some tracks. A great record

It was awesome but a little uneven

This album was awesome but I was expecting something else from the title and band name so the first song dissapointed me but now I love it after relistening. Its a great album but frustratingly plays with expectations and the final song was a bit naff. A great record

Overlong, little difference between tunes and poor lyricism all contributed to this record dissapiintong me. Sorry but I just wasn't a fan. A dissapointing record

Like the flow and the beats but the lyrics and skits just killed the pace which is a shame because there was lots to love about the songs. A decent record.

Of course it's a masterpiece. Quite possibly the best pop rock record. The sequencing and production are faultless, not to mention the tunes are killer, plus the writing is rewarding, which is always a pleasant surprise for 70s music. An essential record.

Inconsistent. Many of the tunes were awesome and original but at times it dragged really hard, namely on that penultimate tune which has a really really irritating beat with little stops over six and a half minutes. But at least the mood and production of this record was fantastic. A decent record.

Classic rock. Title track is fantastic, and most of the back half was surprisingly strong, the only issue was that the production was a little dodgy on some tunes. A great record.

Really fun 50s A great record

Alright but didn't take itself seriously enough, which is odd. The beats and sound was great, not to mention most of the songs, but too many tunes were ruined by the insistence on burp noises and your mum jokes. A bit of a shame really, because it could've been fantastic. A decent record

It was really nice, but not interesting. A decent record.

Can't understand the lyrics fully so that means I can't really rate them but I can tell he has a great flow, the samples added an extra punch to the album and it was sequenced brilliantly, not to mention the production was well ahead of its time for '91 A great record.

Honestly it was really fun, nice and short too. A great record.

Just so good. Loved the production's bizzare uncomfortable, but often gorgeous feel and the style of songwriting, the narrative, while loose, was brilliant and the songs could be absolutely nuts ("yoshimi battles the pink robots pt.2") or stunningly beautiful ("do you realize") without felling out of place in the context of the album. I could see myself revisiting this album for many days to come. An essential record.

Good but got old after a while, however it sounded great.

Definitely a masterpiece. Words can't state how much I love this album right now, it is so consistent for an album this length, has so many of Stevie's best songs, and still sounds remarkably polished all the way through. What else can I really say except it's obviously a phenomenal album. An essential record

Seems that before they took over the world and innovated pop countless times, all the Beatles did was create bland pop on front loaded albums that are more a bunch of songs that didn't fit on singles rather than a cohesive record. Well, actually that's a bit harsh. There are more than a few killer tunes, which mostly come when Lennon and McCartney sidestep clichés and write the more complex, sophisticated tunes, specifically tracks 2-4. Most of the covers are just ok, but the renditions of 'Please Mister Postman' and 'Money (That's What I Want)' were fantastic and the best sounding on the record. Also George already shows that he could be the best Beatle with his tune on this one. A decent record.

Honestly it was just a really nice album. A great record.

I'm familiar with this album, but now I'm certain this is one of the absolute greatest of all time. The record is perfectly sequenced, with each song delivering a message, but each of them hinting at a bigger picture. Each of the five tracks are absolutely essential and show the peak of the Gilmour - Waters writing era for Floyd. Not to mention the production is faultless, and it is the last album where Wright really gets his due, too, with the synths mashing effortlessly with guitar. Of course it is difficult to mention wish you were here without naming the nine-part, twenty-six minute epic, "Shine On You Crazy Diamond", a tribute to the fallen psychedelic music innovator, and previous Floyd leader, Syd Barrett. The track is split into two, the first five parts opening the record, and the last four closing it. The track, with a haunting clavinet and guitar building up to a euphoric chorus, complete with saxophone solo, before slowly descending, soundtracking Syd's downfall. The track can now be seen as Pink Floyd's magnum opus, and one of the greatest of all time. But the album isn't just "Shine On..." plus some songs, the cold, harsh synths of "Welcome To The Machine" give the album a dollop of fury and menace, the tempo increases for mid-album banger "Have A Cigar", featuring one of Gilmour's greatest solos, and the Meloncholy, beautifully bittersweet title track would've made this album a true classic anyway

Stood out to me immediately as kind of unorthodox punk, and the sound works brilliantly throughout the record. The album had its share of standout tracks, too. "Peaches" displays a killer baseline and the piece knows exactly where to go next, operating as the standout single, whereas the sprawling "down in the sewer" shows that the band weren't just a singles act. Overall, a great record.

Just nice, first half was great but with horns that were too loud, second half was gorgeous though, not completely sure on my rating, but for now its a three. A decent record

good enough

Great time. Loved the mood, a high four. A great record.

Great sounding and well sequenced, very harmless. A decent record.

Boring as hell, there were some solid tines every now and then though

Basically the definition of the "is we play it weird, it will be good!" mentality. It's just not good. Thankfully, there are enough good moments to salvage a 2.

Couldn't hear it because it

I mean it was ok but just a bit bland.

Honestly it was pretty great, loved the sound and aesthetic, and original mood and production, while not standing out, helped blend the album's themes. Sometimes a bit forgettable but tbh I was definitely a fan. A great record.

Honestly everything I want from a pop album. Sure, the recording was a little muddy and there were a couple too many songs, but this was irresistible. A great record.

What an album. I've loved kanye's music ever since this generator sent me MBDTF, which I would say is a stronger record, mostly due to the lackluster lyricism that unfortunately dropped this album to a 4. Love the production from Daft Punk, and how the project hangs together (the album was overseen by Rick Rubin) and the concise, 40 minute runtime works fantastically. The cold and industrial sounds (a total change from the grandiose rap of MBDTF) conjer compelling grooves and hooks throughout, and when the synthesizers give way to a beautiful, real emotion the album is given a whole other level of sonic depth and emotional resonance. Overall a record that is likely to only better with time. A great record.

Eh. A decent record.

Honestly lovely effortless pop. Not much else to say really.

50 albums in! Quite fitting to have Creedence as i always wanted to get more familiar with them because I only really know a couple of their big singles, and I can understand the love immediately. A collection of fantastic singles and good covers, save for their epic rendition of 'I Heard it Through the Grapevine', which makes the album hang together much better than it does on paper. The singles were doubtlessly fantastic, but this is a record that is more than the sum of its parts. A great record.

Loved the sound, hated the vocals. I know that the main person thinks this is the sound of honesty and that this is them or whatever, but just stop and realize how good the music you're doing this over is. Got grating but thankfully the music keeps me invested in the album completely, nothing sounds quite like it. A worthwhile listen, even if a little grating after a while. A decent record.

A great time. Loved the sounds, lyrics were only ok but the singing was fantastic. Just the right length for this type of album and perfectly sequenced. Only other issue was most of the interludes were unnecessary, but it wasn't really a major issue. A great record

Just a good time, gorgeous vocals, pristine production, strong lyrics. Sits comfortably between soul and disco, giving a surprisingly original sound, that, paired by the brothers' obvious talents, builds an obvious confidence that shines through even on its weaker moments. There are a couple of those, mostly due to the kinda shoddy tracklisting routine, depriving the album of a sense of complete consistency, but the record sure as hell is solid.

Nice idea but the tunes at the front were certainly the best. A decent record

Already seeing why he was so revered. A great record

Along with Dylan, Marley was one of the biggest artists I had yet to listen to a full record of. I would immediately say I understand the hype. Loved the back and forth interplay in the vocals, a bunch of gorgeous hooks and melodies, and still immense production. One slight drawback is that the back half was a little samey, but still, an obviously fantastic record.

Better than I remember. A great record

Not much to say, love the sound (finally a decent sounding kinks record!), great tunes and perfect length. A couple filler songs but more than enough standouts to balance it out. A great record

Surprisingly strong. A great record

Yes it was good, a bit oddly put together and going home was too long for sure. However pretty much every other tune worked and I loved the sound they went for here. A great record.

I liked it all the way through but this is needlessly long tbh, really took out some of the enjoyment when it's 3h20 or so. A decent record

Exactly what the title said. Definitely the sort of album I really wanted to see here, and precisely what I needed after Ella Fitzgerald. Loved how bad the production sounded, as it only added to the sense of fury throughout the record. Perfextly sequenced, even if there could've been a couple more standouts, especially considering the brief runtime, but at the end if the day, these are only minor gripes and this is a superb addition to this list. A great record.

Always loved it. Still sounds surprisingly innovative and fresh when put on. A little front-loaded but it's alright. Just a great album in every way, just falling short of a five. A great record.

Yeah it sounded like a Dylan knockoff, and was pretty generic. Good generic country, mind, but nothing new altogether. A decent record

Ok it was actually brilliant, loved the reinvention of the guitar, the production was superb, there was enough difference between songs and overall, this was incredibly enjoyable. There are some things I'm not sure about, the gristle in the tracks could get frustrating and some songs stayed in the same place for too long making me hesitant about a five, I will relisten soon, but, ultimately, there was so much this album did right, and totally changing my view of production of guitar I think this will be a five. An essential record.

This was definitely an album of highs and lows, but overall I thought it was pretty great. The production was a bit rubbish, but the performances were brilliant. Didn't like the vocals much just a bit too nasal but the lyrics were great. Sort of an album of contradictions but I think that's part of the joy. A great record.

Anything other than 5 would be sacrilege. An essential record

Considering Rumors basically perfected the archetypal 70s pop rock sound, that was replicated so many times, it is difficult to still see it more as a fully original piece than an immediate greatest hits. This is where I was hoping tusk would remain a fully original album in its own right. I was proved correct, but not in the was I expected. What surprised me about tusk is how much the album is focused on contrast. Christine and Stevie's surprisingly downbeat folk ballads are given opulent, pristine production, yet Lindsay's rockers are almost exclusively abrasive homages to the roots of rock and roll, designed to sound directly translated from mind to tape as quickly as possible. Overall I would say the intentionally haphazard production and sequencing works to give the album a here-and-there personality and a distinctive, constantly appealing charm. Ultimately, there are a surprising lack of unnecessary tracks on this thing for an album of this length, and absolute stunners throughout. Better than Rumours? Quite possibly. An essential record.

Sounded great and was the perfect length. Surprisingly original even if a couple too many songs sounded the same. A great record.

Cheesy as hell, feels very forced but there are saving graces like the production, especially the mixing (the high bass was a very pleasant surprise) but it can't hide the fact that the music included just isn't very good. I especially dislike the lyrics that are just Robert Plant knockoffs, substituting bland cliché for bland cliché. Overall, the record felt forced and uninspired, much longer than the 40 minute runtime would have you think. A disappointing record.

I did enjoy it but I can't see myself revisiting too often. A decent record.

Eh. It sounded like every 90s house record so I don't know why they thought they were left-field. Also, as someone else pointed out, it felt like most of the album tested on the brilliance of a couple songs, which is a shame, because the first song in particular has me ready for something fantastic. I will admit it had the ideal sound for a house album, however. Feels pretty great with headphones. A decent record.

Didn't hate it like I thought I would. There are plenty of moments where you can actually grasp a tangible melody. It all sounded fine - sort of standard fare for jazz records by this point. But there are definitely times where it is all a bit much. If they got rid of the ridiculously high tempo or the two drums playing it once, it just would've been more enjoyable. Also having a very painful earache before and during listening was not particularly helpful either. I'll give a 3 but it could easily dip into the boundary above or below for me. A decent record.

Actually kinda underrated, really nice production and surprisingly authentic. A great record.

I enjoyed it. The best moments are when you can really get the excitement of the atmosphere due to Waters' charisma. However, that is sometimes rare like in the middle of the album when the tunes just sorta lack enthusiasm. Overall though, an enjoyable, if brief, live blues record from a leading artist. A decent record.

There were definitely issues (some tunes were lackluster, too repetitive) but i actually found this to be a really fun album. Also it helps it can be pretty funny. Jesus built my hotrod was the definite highlight though. A decent record.

Really fun and imaginative. I would say the Speakerboxx half was stronger because it was a little more complete and wholly enjoyable, but the whole album was a testament to how strong longer albums can be and the scope of this thing is stunning. A great record.

Well it was fun A great record.

I came in expecting very enjoyable soul christmas classics with decent production. That's what I got. A great record.

Yeah

Very enjoyable 70s soft rock, couldn't of asked for much more from it, save for bland, predictable lyrics. A great record.

Just as good as every one said. All 5 songs are masterpieces and put in the right place. Great for both deep concentrated listening and relaxing background music. The production still sounds brilliant. I can't recommend this album enough. An essential record.

Appreciated it, didn't always love it because it was not concise enough (why is phife barely on this?) but it certainly made me realize how much Tribe clicked on The Low End Theory. Production was solid, if not spectacular, and the songs could be a little more detailed but I loved the enthusiasm and mood, so I never lost interest. A decent record.

Still beautiful, no filler, perfectly sequenced, takes my breath away. Meticulous, immaculate production against thoughtful lyrics and memorable hooks, everything clicks and this album will never grow old. An essential record.

An odd album, a compelling mix of guitar, samples and synth that is maximized to full effect across all ten tunes here. The prodigy sound hungry and driven here, leading to shocking and incredibly effective cuts like single "breathe" which still sounds as raw and innovative as anything else to come out of the late 90s rave trend. Hell, even the 9 minute guitar/electronica epic works ("Narayan"). However, when the Prodigy aren't motivated, often the quality decreases and the songs sound tired and worn out. Thankfully though, the album keeps a tight grip on its runtime and its goals never slide out of focus fully, leading to a thrilling, riotous hour that is definitely worth your time. A great record.

Of all the radiohead albums, Hail To the Thief is definitely one of them. Had lot of quiet 2000s indie vibes, I sure hope they don't dig too far into them next time. A decent record

Surprised at how strong this was, however, it sounds like how a YouTube video looks when it's not properly loaded and you need to pause for it to figure it all out. A great record.

Whiffed real bad of dad rock, well good dad rock though so I don't know A decent record

Bit on the long side, but hard to complain when it's all this fresh, innovative and gleefully hedonistic. A great record.

Beautiful, original and hilarious. But its a bit long innit A great record.

Fun and funky, production really stood out to me. A really enjoyable project I can't wait to revisit

A slightly worse version of Heroes, which is to say its still an immense art rock album. A great record.

Its difficult to love country albums when half of them sound identical to this. A dissapointing record.

Enjoyable. Liked the blend of classic blues and hazy psychedelia, the recording was a bit rubbish but it would've been a lot worse if it were the Eric Clapton show.

A bit nothingy. Good nothing, mind. A decent record.

Surprisingly melodic offbeat pop, great time. A great record.

I can see why someone would love it and why it would be so hated by others. I'm somewhere in the middle, it was overproduced but joyful and decorated. Overall not much bad just nothing particularly standout-ish. A decent record.

That's how you do folk. All around great record.

Pleasantly surprised. Only the first song was at all cheesy or bland, the rest was rich and thought provokingly original A great record.

My 100th album! Great. Had a deep, folky sound that struck me as very original for 70s rock. Some killer songs on here even if nothing is quite in the same league as the title track. A great record.

Now that was just an awesome time. A great record.

Utterly brilliant in every way. Innovative, beautiful, haunting and stupidly good. Nothing is quite like it. An essential record.

Bland but brilliant. A great record.

It was good all the way through but not interesting all the way through. A decent record.

Showed everything misled about the early 90s scene in Britain. All style no substance, godawful rapping and cringeworthy lyrics. Unfinished Sympathy was a killer single at least. A dissapointing record.

Basically just another country album. Was this really something I needed to hear before I die? A dissapointing record.

80s but good. Huge choruses that work due to pure power. A maximalist sound that fits with the artists character, and a general cohesion that makes the record work in an albun format, rather than feeling like a singles collection. A great record.

Thoroughly original and consistently enjoyable, can't wait to revisit. Also the album is only 12 songs long, everyone heard the collectors edition and was shocked when it had more songs. A great record.

Late 70s jingle pop rock. Definitely never been done before. A decent record.

Nothing quite like it. Hilarious and unsettling at the same time. Only (small) drawback is that thay managed to top themselves with Remain in Light in most ways. A great record.

Sounds about 15 people heard it live, at least half of which were the band. Mind you it was a studio quality recording and a milestone in jazz, which helps. A great record.
