I can see why this album was so influential, top-notch 90s rap with unapologetic and important political messaging.

A fun and energetic album, gets a bit repetitive at times but it’s got great vibes

David Bowie was a master of making one or two accessible songs per album to be smash hit singles and then being fully on his weirdo Goblin Mode Shit for the rest of the album. I respect it immensely but I didn’t particularly vibe with it on this one.

Just some solid, fun electronica

Most of this album is absolutely terrible, but Gimme Shelter and You Can’t Always Get What You Want each get a star because they’re bops.

I’m not big on the style of singing that was popular with rock bands of this era, but the music on this album is undeniably excellent. Really enjoyed my listen!

Perfectly competent but kind of boring, doesn’t do much to change my opinion that live albums are rarely a good idea

I feel like this is an album that I would love in the right setting. Seeing this done live in a smoky dive bar with a cheap beer in my hand would be a five-star experience. Listening in my earbuds while I did house work felt more three-star, but I want to give it four for that potential.

This band wrote one song, came up with 12 names for it, and spent 40 minutes playing it over and over. Not my style lmao.

Johnny Cash has an amazing voice and these covers are gorgeous.

Absolutely batshit in the best way, I wish more musicians were this unabashedly weird.

The vibes are absolutely immaculate. Lo-fi chill beats to study to in its highest form.

Fun, but not particularly unique or outstanding

Surprisingly good, I feel like George deserves a better reputation as a solo Beatle. Really not sure why he felt like he needed to keep the 20-minute instrumental jam session at the end of this already slightly overlong album though.

An absolute classic for a reason, much better than the live album

Not a huge fan of Morrissey’s voice, but I really liked the music and lyrics! Torn between three and four stars, decided it would be a four star album for me with a different singer lmao.

I want to give Tom Petty a swirly

This was fine but I got bored of it quickly. I think I was expecting something more funky and weird with a name like that!

This album was fun and weird and I had a good time with it!

Fun, weird, funky shit

Loved the vibes on this.

Absolutely incredible 90s rap

I love the variety of styles Stevie explores here, and he does a great job with them all. Superstition is still far and away the highlight, though.

Right at the intersection of corny and earnest that I find kinda charming. I wouldn’t play this album again on purpose but if a song from it came on the local public radio station at 9:30 PM I wouldn’t change the channel.

This album makes me understand why people were so nuts about the Beatles

This album is beautifully melancholy, I loved it

Good instrumentation, boring lyrics, absolutely terrible singing lmao

This was fine, but the genre isn’t for me

Just some really solid 90s pop, enjoyed it a lot!

The vibes on this album are absolutely bonkers. I was torn the whole time between whether I loved or hated it, settled in the middle. Excellent musicianship, deeply corny lyrics, mostly very fun but maybe better in short bursts.

So much fun, more pop bands need brass sections

I almost went with 4 stars because of Shake It Off and Bad Blood, but this is still just an undeniable pop masterpiece.

I respect the artistic choices but this style of music is not for me, all the distortion and arrhythmic elements made me feel super overstimulated and I couldn’t get into it

Totally competent and listenable, some cool stuff but nothing that made me go “oh damn, okay Primal Scream!”

Definitely front loaded with the best songs, but this is a solid pop album that deserves its reputation as a classic

This was fine, but only Clint Eastwood really hints at the heights Gorillaz would grow into. Most of these tracks are super forgettable.

This was a really cool and weird album! I almost went with four stars just for the fun change of pace it provided, but I don’t think I’d add most of these tracks to me regular rotation.

I simply didn’t care for this. I feel like my tolerance for Experimental Stuff is at the exact level where I can get down with the most accessible radio singles, but the rest of the album just loses me. Once In A Lifetime DOES slap though, two stars for that bad boy.

Some really lovely classic R&B, would have liked a little more variety in style and tempo but I really enjoyed this listen

It’s a shame that nothing else on this album hits the highs of Take On Me, but it’s a solid collection of 80s synth pop!

Gorgeous classic jazz, the fact that it’s live really adds to the charm

This was a really fun folk-rock album from a group I’d never heard of. Love finding new music that fits my style!

This was a weird one for me! Individually, I think I’d enjoy most of these songs pretty well as a change of pace. End to end as an album, though, it got repetitive quickly and I was ready to be done halfway through. Torn between two and three stars, went with three because I can respect the talent and artistry.

Heartbroken to report that I just don’t like listening to Bowie’s music. I almost didn’t finish this album at several points. Just not my cup of tea, RIP though dude. You seemed cool.

A solid, fun album. Not all the tracks are standouts but the highlights are REAL high for me.

The kind of classic rock I can get down with, weird enough to be fun and interesting without totally losing me.

Really weird and cool rock, feels much more modern than it is

Nick Drake was an incredible talent and I’m so sad we lost him before his time. Another brilliant album.

I thought this album was a bit too long and unfocused, but the overall sound was really nice as background music. I was going to give it a 3 or 4, but Elliott accidentally hit 5 when he meant to give it a 2 so I’m balancing it out lmao.

This album is so dumb and so fun, absolutely great Dudes Rock vibes

Mostly just some perfectly fine bluesy folk, but there are a few standout gems. Not Dark Yet, Cold Irons Bound, and Make You Feel My Love is such a killer three-song stretch.

I wish I could get into Tom’s voice but I just can’t. I like his music and songwriting, but the man sounds like a wet muppet being wrung out into a microphone. The slower, more crooning songs are pretty cool though.

I can see why this album was so influential, top-notch 90s rap with unapologetic and important political messaging.

This was a cool surprise, really fun Latin fusion rap rock.

This album was so boring. Nothing’s Shocking? More like Nothing’s Interesting am I right folks

This is what you would get if you typed “generic 70s rock” into an AI generator

This one was weird and fun. Not something I’ll be coming back to often, but I was at least excited to see what each track would be as I listened.

It made me so sad to listen to this and know how Kanye turned out. This album rules.

I would’ve enjoyed this more a few songs at a time, it got repetitive but it was fun

Faith is a killer song, but so many of the rest of these tracks just blend into one another

Weird in a fun way, I might listen again

I hated this. It felt like the album was actively trying to get me to stop listening to it.

Struggled with how to rate this one. Pacific Ocean Blue on its own is pretty great, but it REALLY didn’t need to be a double album. If you took just the best tracks here you’d have a five-star album but this is two two-to-three star albums

This was so annoying I didn’t finish it lmao

Dolly is a national treasure. This is the kind of country music I could listen to all day.

If you’ve ever wanted to be trapped in a room with a 13-year-old who’s surprisingly good at rapping while he lists off everything he can think of that will make his parents mad if he says it, this album is for you

I really liked the style and instrumentation here, but almost every song went on for at least a minute too long. I wish they’d tightened it up.

I loved the music and lyrics but the singer has the most obnoxious voice!!

This is basically how I imagined David Bowie would sound before I listened to any David Bowie. It’s fine.

This was good, but not great. I got pretty bored of the style after a while.

This is my ideal form of folk/country music. Sweet without being sappy, simple without being condescending, with a biting wit and the catchiest choruses you could ask for. I’m gonna listen to this all the time.

Raekwon is a ridiculously talented rapper (and so is the rest of the Wu-Tang Clan obviously). I wish he was working with more interesting lyrics and used fewer homophobic slurs but overall this album is pretty great.

This was kinda fun in a 70s dudes rock kind of way. Harmless and forgettable for better and for worse.

Really fun and weird, not what I expected when I saw Brian Eno’s name but I really enjoyed it

I really enjoyed this! I listened on Friday and it’s Monday now so I don’t have much more to say but I remember it was fun to listen to while I put a last coat of paint on the spare room

This was kind of fun at points but mostly just annoying

I liked this and have a lot of respect for its legacy in punk, but it was a little too much atonal yelling for me to take in all at once lmao

Wonderfully smooth, chill jazz. Incredible music for when you want to relax.

I liked this moody, atmospheric soundtrack. Very of its time in a way I clicked with.

A very vibey album with very good vibes.

I liked the lyrics and instrumentals a lot, I couldn’t quite get on board with Johnny Rotten’s voice but it did grow on me a bit by the end

This was nice! Frank is a legend for a reason, though his stuff does get a little samey. I’ll just go for a Greatest Hits compilation over any given album.

This was fucking great the 10+ minute jam tracks got a little worn out for me, but overall I had a great time

Some fun funk tunes, but the album as a whole is a bit messy and unfocused. Definitely went “okay okay I get it” and hit skip on a few of these tracks.

This was laser-targeted to appeal to me haha. A few moments where it veers into wannabe-Radiohead territory but it really holds its own as a lovely art rock album

A fun classic rock album, though most of the songs dragged on a bit past the point I was ready for them to be over

This was okay, but I think I just find Jane’s Addiction boring

I’m not sure where Leon is but they need to violently overthrow the monarchy

This album is a lot of fun to listen to and F**k Tha Police is a fucking banger, but it doesn’t pack the same punch that Public Enemy’s Fear of a Black Planet did.
