One of the worst things I’ve ever heard.

Not really for me - very shoegaze. I don’t find it exciting or appealing.

I can recognize its importance, but I am never going to sit and listen to this by choice. “Rock Box” is awesome though.

Oh my god, shut up Jim Morrison.

I have great memories of listening to “The Shining” in university. That was definitely the stand-out track for me, but the rest of the album was nice too.

A pleasant listen, but definitely of it’s time. “Take On Me” and “The Sun Always Shines on TV” are highlights.

I love Queen, but this album isn’t a favourite. To my ears, it’s the soundtrack to the world’s most frantic D&D game. The standout tracks to me are “March of the Black Queen” (a proto-“Bohemian Rhapsody”) and “Seven Seas of Rhye”.

“It was great, it sold, it’s the bloody Beatles White Album, shut up!”

Stone cold classic.

I understand why this is such an important, popular album, but it isn’t for me. I’ve never been able to get past Eddie Vedder’s voice, which is like nails on a chalkboard to me.
