This album made me irrationally angry for some reason

Nah sorry

I haven't listened to this for 10 years. Fuck I feel old. I was obsessed with this album in 2008. This is why I love this website.

There are some classics on here but tbh a couple of stinkers

Didn't age as well as I was expecting

There are 3/4 songs on this that carry the whole thing

This album made me irrationally angry for some reason

Holds up

Not for me

Is 5 star song enough to carry an entire album? These are the questions that keep me up at night.

Nope

Can’t believe I pretty much forgot about this album. 17yo me would be disappointed.

They have better albums

I can appreciate the influence, but at face value the production is not great 🤷‍♀️

Just not for me eh

Never really listened to them that much. Pretty good.

I just don’t understand why it’s a live album

Would probably like more if I was paying attention

I think it was ok just kinda forgettable

I do like some Keith Jarrett, but not my fav

2.5? Some of it was pretty good. But man I hated some of the beats.

Can't help but compare to Super Fly, and it came up a little short

The version I got was so short

Didn’t finish, it wasn’t offensively bad but I just knew it wasn’t for me.

Absolute classic, but I may be biased as this has been a fav since I was about 16

Fine for background music I guess

Liked the first half. Apparently the second half is very influential, but wasn't my thing.

I dunno, I get it, just not the biggest fan.

Pretty boring, but I did like that once song

Nah sorry

Better than I was expecting

Hey it wasn't that bad Nat

Deluxe edition has so many songs, and I don't know which ones are actually on the original, so this is pretty hard to rate

I can't really remember how I felt about this, and I don't really feel like listening again right now. Maybe 2.5?

Another cancelled band, no wonder I haven't heard about that. Not bad though.

How about the part where they do the poos

It was fine, I just immediately forgot it. Probably should have paid more attention.

First 3 songs are solid, but then it drops of massively. Pretty weak as a album overall.

Best thing about this challenge is being reminded to go back to albums I used to love.

Couldn't get past the second song. Just not for me sorry.

Yeah it's got that one song.

So good, until it gets all folksy, I'll just pretend it finished after the titular bells.

Yeah it's good, but that version of Mr. Tambourine Man is terrible.

Yeah it still slaps

Yeah it's all good, but another live album

Nice and short

Will always have a soft spot for the Old Kanye production

Probably amazing in its day, but like most of these classic Hip Hop albums, doesn't really do it for me to be honest.

Docked a star because these dumb people the 60s had no idea how to release an album internationally so we're stuck with these weird UK/US hybrid releases. This one even had 2 bonus tracks at the start which I didn't even need to listen to. They also always have a note about some fucked up spelling. Sort it out guys.

Better than expected. I've always kinda hated the band because of Sex on Fire.

So it turns out I don't really like Prince that much. There were a few good songs though.

Don't think I've given an album I've never listened to before 5 starts yet. I came pretty close on this one, I suspect it'll be a 5 star after a few listens.

Way better than Bridge Over Troubled Water

I don't like this.

So good, just a shame Win Butler is a bit rapey.

Very mixed bag

Hey, that's pretty good :nods:

Damn there are some good songs on here, didn't know they were by 10cc. I think I thought 10cc was something completely differenet

+1 for nostalgia

TBH most of it was pretty forgettable, and there were 2 songs missing (sort it out), but it does have Raining Blood.

Yeah it's good, but man it's long.

Not for me

It's fine

4 stars but only if we forget about the last track.

Mixed bag, instantly forgettable (on a first listen at least)

Clown music

2.8

Yeah it holds up

I think it was ok, I can barely rememeber

I just don't get it, I never have and I guess I never will.

Yeah it's ok, I don't see what all the fuss is about

Forgettable

In the beginning I was wondering if this was a different band to the Pretenders I knew of.

DNF

2.5?

3.5

3 songs at 4/5 stars, the rest 1/2... I dunno about the maths on that, but it's another mixed bag Madonna album that's for sure.

I listened to it yesterday and I barely remember, I don't think it really hooked me.

This must have blown those Gen Xers minds

3.5

Holy shit it's long, but good. Didn't expect that Both Sides Now cover, not like the rest, but also great.

It's got bangers yeah.

I just really didn't wanna keep listening to this, so I guess 1 star.

I kinda forgot it immediately, 2.5?
