Just phenominal alt rock. Love it.

Favorite Song: Tuesday Heartbreak Familiar Songs: Superstitious Notes: Love the funky 70's synth, and the vocals are just so clean throughout. Very fun album.

Layla was the only song I recognized and easily my favorite. The whole album isn't too bad, bluesy and catchy, but not really my bag.

Uh Oh. According to The Good Place I might go to hell for this one. I knew two songs off of this, Under the Bridge and Suck My Kiss. Under the Bridge is easily the big standout from this album. I'm just not in love with the rap singing from the rest of the album. The bass and guitar are solid for sure, the rest is not much to write home about.

Our lips our sealed is great, and we got the beat is a ton of fun. Those are the only two songs I recognized. I feel like most of the album felt a little lacking, could have used more varied musical elements. Still a solid pop album

It was fine. It bet in person it would blow me away, but at normal volumes it just wasn't that interesting

Every song is interesting! The lyrics are interesting on every song though occasionally stretched to make a rhyme work. I had never heard any of the songs on the album. Very 80s synth but in the best way. So much variation in instrumentation! I LOVE this album! My favorite song was Horsing Around mostly because of the brass

It's turning out rock isn't always my thing, it's generally too simplistic for me, relying more on attitude and tamber than melodic interest. I enjoy the singing but it fails to hold my attention

I mean, it's the Beatles, it slaps. Such nice progressions and interesting layered vocals over top. I recognize All My Loving, but all the songs are approximately equally good.

High Quality Big Band! What's not to love! It had to be you in the only song I recognize, and not this version, but it's great!

I should have known I would love Dylan. Lots of varied interesting musicality going on immediately! I recognize Like a Rolling Stone and it's of course trancendant.

Uh Oh. Country. Alright, lets see if I find something to enjoy here. Yes. Quite a lot. Aside from the steel guitar, most of the instrumentation is very nice, the fiddle gets a little whiney in places, but the layered melodic harmonies are quite lovely. Both Last of the True Believers and Love at the Five and Dime I would listen to again, St. Olaf's gate was terrible. Just stereotypical country. Then so was most of the rest. I liked One of These Days. Would have been a 4 or 5 star album without steel guitar. Instead it's 3.

Yes! Rock with interest! The Dialect alone makes this more interesting than ZZ Top or Black Sabbath. On Second thought it turns out I just like the punk aesthetic more than rock. Still fails to hold my interest through the whole album, though there are significantly more standouts. London Calling is a great track and Lost in the Supermarket made me perk up and pay attention.

I love folk rock! This is amazing! I love the Built to Spill vibes. Darkness Darkness is such a DnD song, Smug was great, On Sir Francis Drake was a fire jazz track, love this. Great listen, start to stop.

I'm not even sure how to describe this, only that it gives me classical feels and that it's fascinating in the best way

This album is likely the most played radio Christmas album. I suspect if these songs were 5 or less years old I would think this is a five star album. Instead it's 35 and has been played to death. Still deserves four stars

How have I missed this! Masterful. Will be listening again. The Queen is dead, long live the Queen! (Charles can get bent)

Such an interesting voice. Costello always manages to write interesting melodies. Oliver's Army is a fascinating standout. As was Peace Love and Understanding, the two songs I'd heard off the album. The overall tambre and his voice bring the album down a star for me, but still a great listen.

Some brilliant beautiful lyrical standouts and some glorious blues throughbacks. Great album.

strong start! Love the strummed guitar and drum tambre. Starting to be over this raw vocals trend. I could use some polish. After listening to the whole album, the voice really turns me off. The first and last songs save it from a two star rating

After the frou frou rock of Black Sabath and ZZTop it feels awesome to hit some rock with some WEIGHT. Let's GO! It's fascinating to listen to this after Blood Sex Sugar Magic, because the rap against the rock background is similar, Rage just raps infinitely better. Yeah, that's the stuff.

This was just really solid. Loved every song. Great listen.

I will like this if there is no steel guitar. God damn it, song 2 steel guitar. 2 stars.

I know another Brick in the Wall and Happiest Days of Our Lives, and they're fine. This may have been ground breaking at the time but feels a little pedestrian now. Maybe it's just social commentary on a time I never experienced. Oh wow okay. Goodbye Blue Sky alone elevates this album way more than I realized. So I was wrong. You need the whole journey. This was epic. I take it back. It was mostly just Goodbye Blue Sky and Comfortably Numb. Still those two get this album three stars.

Oh hell Yeah! Been waiting for some Paul and Andrew! I already know Scarborough Fair, Homeward Bound and Feelin' Groovy, guranteed four stars even if the rest aren't worth it. A Simple Desultory Philippic is a hilarious Dylan impression and I love it. Wow. I did not expect 7 O'clock News/Silent Night to come in so hard. Geez. 5 Star album.

Here is where unpolished vocals shine! when accompanied by grungy guitar! I can get behind this! That was fun, wasn't the most interesting thing ever, but I would listen again in the right party space.

Oh goodness I hope I like this. I feel like Pretty Hurts is trying to making a grand statement and I'm missing it. Okay, HAUNTED I get. Powerful. Geeze. I don't know if I've ever listened to a more danceable album. I expected vapid pop. The time changes! The key changes! The production value! wow. Haunted, Flawless, XO, Jealous, Blow, what a a great album!

YES YES YES YES YES YES YES, I already listen to this album on repeat. Easy 5 stars, makes me want to retroactively go back and downgrade every other album, I have been being too generous with my ratings. Standouts include Bloodbuzz Ohio, Lemonworld, England, Vanderline Crybaby Geeks, Terrible Love, and Little Faith. And the rest of them.

I wasn't too impressed, nothing really caught my attention. Didn't turn me off either, but there aren't any songs I can point to as standouts

I love Take me out, lets see if anything else is as catchy. Oh good! Yes it is! Maybe this tambre will also be insufficient to hold me later, but right now it's arresting. The musical interest is more than present, this is a banger. I'm tempted to dock it a star for not being as transcendent as High Violet, but if I keep rating the same, this is an easy five stars.

I appreciate the message, but none of it really commanded my attention. Don't know that I would choose to put any of the tracks on, but I think the message is important and the vehicle is effective. Rating it musically I'm going to go three stars. On a philosophical rating system it would be higher

I might like this more through sheer familiarity. Take it Easy is such a classic. Unfortunately, the rest wasn't really my vibe. Still not a bad listen.

This is the most interesting album from this list yet. I'm so into this. 5 Stars. The end of Ancestors guttural retching was so hard to listen to I nearly docked a star, but not quite.

New Most dancable album. Glorious.

Classic rock really needs to bring interrest with the vocals before I like it. Where Black Sabbath and ZZTop failed, AC/DC rises in glory. Highway to Hell rocks hard.

Chain of Fools and a Natural Woman? Five stars.

Another powerful important album that I just don't resonate with musically. I wish I could rate this higher, but I just don't want to listen to it.

I was expecting more. Most of the songs were interesting, but none of them really stuck a hook into me. Still cool enough for four stars

That was interesting! Really loved the instrumentation and Indian influence. Less fond of the painfully 90's electronica.

Seems like a nice little folk album. Not a bad listen at all. Nothing particularly captured me, but it was pleasant.

The writing is okay, extremely objectifying though, I did not enjoy how the women in this album aren't really acknowledged as people with voltion. The instrumentation feels aged too.

Brilliant. Evocative and beautiful throughout.

I enjoyed the beats, but on reflection would not listen to the album again.

When the dice rolls a 5 stars you sit back and enjoy.

I think the most astounding this is album his how many songs got airplay. It's not quite my vibe, but I cannot deny the mastery.

Yes please more hindi inspired music! ...correction, hindi music! Woo! How was I so wrong? Well reguardless of the origins, this rocks hard. So danceable, so aware, so activist, just wonderful!

Fun album! Would listen again. Holds interest for sure!

Lovely album. A little low key for me, but very smooth

Groovy!

Truely magical song writing chops. Not sure how they do it with such simple constraints. Gorgeous

I now feel awful for rating Risque so low, Chic are disco masters and I did not know what I was listening to. Disco is not my jam, but this is some of the best out there.

That was awesome! I could definitely listen to that one all the way through and be happy

Ooh! I know so much about Blur but have never listened to an album of theirs, exciting! I can hear the lineage, but their particular tambre is not for me.

What great sound! None of the melodies in this one blew me away, but I completely understand the draw

Very punk sound! Tinge of blues sensibilities, very cool, not my thing.

Industrial 80's sound is cool, unlike any of the songs. Would not listen again

This album is Ace of Spades followed by an hour and a half of might-as-well-be-Ace-of-Spades. Might listen again.

Some really delightful standards in a really delightful voice. What a great album

That was okay. The 80's sound was nice and the melodies and instrumentation were solid, but the vocals were off in a way thaht just wasn't interesting. Don't think I would listen again.

Ooh! Groovy! Turns out I am a complete sucker for vocal harmony. I should have known. very solid. nothing transcendent. four star album. Would listen again.

Such diverse sound! Such interesting synth and back in the 70's! Amazing! Five stars.

What fun! I like this a lot! I could only listen to half of the album on youtube, but what was there was great!

Oh Rock OUT girl. YES. Five Stars.

Captivating! So interesting and mournful. Enough high octane to keep me high energy and grooving throughout

Speak King! What amazing production! I dig the dialect hard. This is great.

That was fun! Nothing mind blowing but a good listen all the same.

Such raw sound! I feel the emotion. Cool aesthetic for sure. Only Trigger Cut really stood out, but still very pleasant. Four Stars

Amazing how much recognition can improve your enjoyment. There Goes the Fear sparked joy and New York increased it. Probably still only a four star album. Moments of greateness.

I don't enjoy the style of yell rapping and if anything besides proud to be black made any sort of important statement it went over my head. At least it didn't seem harmful. Really not my thing. 3 stars.

I expected to be a little bored outside of Sweet Emotion and maybe Walk this way, but that was actually a lot of fun! Varied, bluesy, consistently well paced and phrased. Much better than expected. Five Stars.

Gotta love a Harpsichord! Most of the album felt light and fun, Revelations would probably be awesome live, but here felt like a bit of a slog.

I did not realize just how many songs I would know of this album. This has got to be top notch. I mean eruption alone!

Bluesy and such a weird vocal choice. It was good I guess.

It's like The Bangles decided they were edgy. I like it!

Well. Now I understand the memes. New album when?!?! I need mooooooore. So good.

I already know so many clever political songs from this album, very curious to hear the whole thing! That was awesome. That felt like Rage Against the Machine levels of righteous fury. Five stars

I expected to love it, but only the piano break down really stood out. I was disappointed. Three stars

What fun! A little self similar but very engaging!

Masterful. So smooth, so jazzy, so soulful. That was great.

The album was nice but nothing really blew me away. Good easy listening. Four stars.

Just phenominal alt rock. Love it.

So many awesome stand out songs. Enough filth mixed in to dock it a star, but definitely will be listening to All Day Love Affair and Childz Play again

This is another one where I think if I were listening to it fresh it might not impress me, but so many of these songs I know by heart. It can't not be at least four stars

I can understand how some people would like that. But man what a drag.

Hate to Say I told you so and Main offender would put any album to at least four stars. A treat. Short sweet. Hard hard rock. That was awesome. Five stars.

If any band was meant to have their live versions heard, it's Deep Purple. Highway Star and Smoke on the Water Alone.

Okay, this is cooool. Obvious five stars for atmospheric instrumental jazz with just enough synth to keep you on your toes.

So I now know not what is the Smiths and what is Morrissey. I just like the voice okay?

Love the themes, love the direction of musicality, not too fond of the flow.

Liked the jazz, nothing really grabbed me.

I know that must have been cool at and groundbreaking int he 70's, but ow my ears. No thank you.

Not what I expected, but very pleasant! Four stars.

I didn't know I knew this one! What a good song! Wow. That May have been the best guy and his guitar album I've ever heard. So nice!

I want to love Leonard Cohen. His lyrics are inspired, his poetry amazing, but his music has never captured me outside of Hallelujah. I'm hoping this album can enchant me. It was decent! It did not blow me away like I would have liked. I'm teetering between three and four stars.

I don't get why this album is on the list. What is special about Dylan's live performance? I just don't feel it. I like his studio albums, this is just fine.

The smoothest sexiest progressive rock album of all time? Yes. Make me emote Johnny. Make me feel.

That was a very solid rock album. Turns out I'm just not that into southern rock.

I was really enjoying the album, I was prepared to give a very high rating, then the album ended and spotify played me WuTang and MF Doom and made this album look pedestrian. I really enjoyed the production and flow and some of the woke themes, but this is no masterpeice.

Nice solid listen. Enjoyed my time with this smooth pretty album

This is great! Punk pop is such a vibe! It's kind of funny the most kitschy song off the album is the one that caught on. I like it all.

Sting can really croon you know? That was great. Message in a Bottle is a classic and Reggatta De Blanc was cool. Loved contact too.

Punk lives! Beautiful.
