Well, sensibilities have certainly changed since 1980. Enjoyed the sound. Didn't enjoy the lyrics.

Best Song: Killer Queen, obvs. Second Place: Brighton Rock - hello, guitar solo, I love you. Best Use of Stereo: Right Here. Honorable Mention because it doesn't fit AT ALL but I love it so so much: Bring Back Leroy Brown. May Jim Croce be remembered with the greats. Least Fave: In the Lap of the Gods Side note: Tenement Funster. Just, yes.

I feel like I'm the edgy, not-like-other-girls heroine in an early-2000s teen movie montage. Best Song: Here We Go Again. Would listen again unironically. Not a fave, but fun. Most Nostalgic Song: Hate to Say I Told You So. Put this on while you're brushing your teeth to physically transform into Julia Stiles in 10 Things I Hate About You. RIP Heath Ledger. Runner Up: The Hives Are Law, You Are Crime. Seems unfair to put the instrumental on top, but I enjoyed it the most, likely because it is literally the only song that didn't sound 100% like every other song on the album. Overall, I didn't DISlike it, but I also didn't LIKE it, either. 3 stars? It's not good, but it's not good /in a way that I enjoy/.

Perfect Circle. I like it. Apparently not a popular opinion. It must be a very influential album, because the sound has been recycled and bastardized quite a bit over the years.

Yessss Beach Boysssss. Noooooot my favorite Beach Boys album, as it turns out. Don't Go Near the Water - big ol eco vibes, man I'm so glad we solved all that. Take Good Care of Your Feet - yep. Student Demonstration Time - favorite so far. Till I Die - I like it.

As it happens, I dislike double albums because I have the attention span of a goldfish. Some real gems, some forgettable cuts.

I'm surprised how much I enjoyed this. I was processing some intense emotion at the time, though, and it's not a double, so there's that. I'm tempted to give this a 4 but I will certainly regret that, so 3 it is.

Better than the Megadeth album, so 4 stars.

This is a rave & that's cool. I like Climbatize. Also Breathe.

Ooooohhhhh I really like this. Love the crackley vinyl effect and the choice of samples. Excellent for chilling out. Omg I love Frontier Psychiatrist.

The tracks are very long but the groove is very groovy

Awwwwwyeaaaahhh! This is my kind of cheesy funk.

The album as a whole is better than any individual song. Sounds like it could have been recorded last week- the timelessness of the sound was surprising.

Hmmm. Noisy.

I did not enjoy this one

Aw yeah, here we go!

Noisy

Yee, and I cannot stress this enough, HAW. 5 stars.

I really want to like Beck. I feel like I SHOULD like Beck. It just refuses to click with me.

For some reason every song feels like it was written in a Theory II class but that makes me like it more

Docked 1 star for length

Cool but not precicely my jam.

Weirdly forward-sounding and backward-looking at the same time.

Yes. Only yes.

Liked it less than I thought I would.

I am old.

Well, sensibilities have certainly changed since 1980. Enjoyed the sound. Didn't enjoy the lyrics.

To be fair, the first 4 tracks were interesting. I must not be smart enough to understand this music.

I'm a sucker for Cohen. I'd love his poetry if it were on a metal album sung by Gilbert Gottfried. First We Take Manhattan, Everybody Knows, and Tower of Song are truly exceptional.

Pure jazz. Was not in the mood for it, but can appreciate the technical mastery.

I loved you in the morning

Grew on me toward the end

Can I give one album more than 5 stars? This is the quintessential pop album.

Would have been 3 stars but this was absolutely unacceptably long

Grime is not my thing, but upgrading to 2 stars for originality.

I didn't think I would like it this much. I forgot just how influential she was.

I LOVE the arrangements and instrumentation. Love the lyrics. Cannot get into the lead singer's vocals at ALL.

The best album about mechanized armadillo tanks I've ever heard.

Infectious. The best parts of a live album.

The quern

Hmmmmm

3.5 but I gotta pick one and I wasn't feeling it today.

Why is a lackluster rendition of the Moonlight Sonata adagio on here? Who knows! I applaud the bizarre choice. Also, spectacular 80s synth cheese from start to nearly finish.

Funky

Great. No notes. Much better than Surf's Up.

Longer than necessary, but not unpleasant

Quintessential nostalgia album. Also, I'll never be able to separate Hell's Bells from Trevor Hoffman's stint with the Milwaukee Brewers. Good times.

Ok...it got me. I didn't like it at first, but the weirdness just grew on me.

3.5 rounding up since I rounded the last Beck down

Not my favorite Cohen album, but even so

3 for actual quality, 4 for personal enjoyment. It grew on me.

Pure 80s cheese

If it's going to be a double, it's got to be a very enjoyable double. This was not that.

Fantastic

This really surprised me. It's not my normal fare, but I found myself captivated. Best new discovery so far, just over 200 albums in!

Jazzy, funky, glorious.
