Sufjan StevensInformed and interesting. Wide array of sounds and made me want to focus on the music. 4/5
Informed and interesting. Wide array of sounds and made me want to focus on the music. 4/5
Good listening. Almost folk-like and funny. Catchy without any one major standout. 4/5
The intro is totally iconic but the rest of the album seems to fall behind. Base was interesting on a couple songs but overall just not that impactful. Easy listening but not memorable. 2/5
Reminds me of a 90s indie movie chase scene. Actually really good album to run to. Consistently engaging but potentially one-note. 3/5
English rock, surprisingly the best song had no words. 3/5 wasn’t sure how to place it but it warrants another look down the line
I liked their main song "In the Court of the Crimson King". It was a kind of calming album for the most part. I was able to get into the "world" of the album. 3/5
I got into this album! Very funny and good vibes. 4/5
Lots of inspiration for other albums, but I have yet to discover what made it innovative. To me it was 80s processed overload and hubristic. Talking about world problems and all… idk 3/5
Engaging, energizing, and interesting 4/5
Good listening but I don't really know where to place the album. Nothing really stands out and it doesn't have a lot of vigor. 2/5
They use the same effect in EVERY song. I get it’s novel for the time but every song sounds the same. Very 60s psychedelic tho 2/5
Reasonably engaging but didn't really lead me to wanting to find out more. 3/5
Unlike some other of the 60s albums, I was able to get into this one. I could listen to the lyrics and I felt that it was effective. 4/5
Solid Album, though it is funny when I can't tell that the album ended and some completely different band is playing.
Prog rock, very long but not filling the time so to speak. It just seemed like many songs with no cuts. 2/5
Very funky and groovy. 3/5
Modern jazz
90s alt rock, seems standard. Didn’t finish. 3/5
Seemed like a love letter to New York
Amazing
Good listening. Not as engrossing as other albums from them
Some interesting songs that I grew to like because I attempted listening to this whole album at least 5 times and never got through it
Some bangers, but the Album energy is like straight downhill (4/5) for iconic songs
Seems very classic rock, nothing too special
Easy listening, appears to have inspired several Hip Hop artists because I recognized a couple references!
Classic Rock album, high energy and well formatted. 4/5
Good Listening!
Very atmospheric and the message is clear, but not exactly "easy listening". Quite bombastic
Out of the box and good listening
Good listening, wrote the book on psychedelic rock
Great vibes and great jazz sound!
Very chill, easy listening but nothing ear catching
Super psychedelic
Some classics! But the hits outshine the rest of the album
Sounds like baby’s first synth
Nothing really jumps out
Some good hits, classic sound
Classic! Makes me want to explore more jazz
At first I thought it would be some wierd indie stuff. But then it turned into STRAIGHT DISCO! Loved
Cube speaks to real issues with some catchy songs.
Some mildly catching tunes
I expected more rock but it gave me more classic american folk with a rock twist. No heads were boppin
Very space age and narratively interesting.
Nothing remarkable
Very indie, not very soundy good
Punk influences but with complete sound. Interesting and begs another listen
Probably a fun concert but with no visual its pretty dull
Good listening. Very groovy
Lyrically interesting but musically not much. Like really nice campfire tunes
Good listening. No bangers just some slow dance tunes
Standard Rock. nothing too catchy
Historically fascinating but Punk is not my thing
I see the influence of this album in many of my favorite artists of today. Whether the impact was real or not... its certainly my flavor of sound
Interesting album but very eclectic
Ear assault. Trash
Standard good funk
Some bangers! overall good listen
Personal and yet so novel in sound. Culturally iconic
Not really my style
Great weave of American Folk and Classic Rock
Interesting, capturing working life. kinda depressing.
The only real banger is american girl and its last :/
Staple of the 90's and way ahead of its time
All around good listening
Fascinating. Thought I was gonna hate it!
I recognize some of these tunes! Probably from commercials but none the less its fun to discover them in the wild.
Sounds of the bleak and deranged future
I really liked the blues song but overall don’t care
Interesting to see how The Beach Boys embrace global issues and message their songs differently. But they just aren’t as catchy
Eerie.
Kinda gratey on the ears
Very funky and enjoyable album
Quirky and fun!
Beautiful music
Incredibly weird but inspired work. Influences fade into the background leaving only a unique work
Sounds very Alt not my style
All the parts are here but they have yet to become whole
Some good ballads, decent roundup. Nothing major
Some classic Rock but not really my thing.
Vulgar and objectifying but at the same time infused with hip hop swagger
Forgettable but some nice tunes
Tormented, forced me to listen. Some iconic tracks
Decent music, complete sound.
Important album, seems heavily inspired or correlated to the work of the beastie boys.
Obligatory 5 star. Very enjoyable
Like hip-hop dropped acid! So many original sounds in this album
Interesting American influences. Fun music and Karma Chameleon is a an 80s classic.
Pretty moody, interesting melancholic tones.
Fun! Not a bad album to rock out to
There's a lot of base elements that have clearly influenced Hard Rock. However they feel less cohesive.
Reminded me a LOT of Bjork. Sounds were very muted but the stories and language were interesting.
Interesting New sounds. Liked the political take and messaging
Powerful classic rap. Rhythmically and culturally significant.
Interesting Sounds, some nice tunes. Listenable
Nice listening. One catchy song.
It was slightly interesting
Slow personal songs that tell interesting stories. Musically simple.
It had some innovative noises but was overall bland
Punk cornerstone, rock genesis
Never thought I would engage in such ragey music. Thoroughly enjoyed
Interesting Rock tones. Some decent songs.
Not much different then the last album.
Iconic album that has been so influential and is a joy to listen to!
Folk music Galore! so many good classic songs sung so beautifully.
Very grungy and not that enjoyable. But I didn't hate it so much I couldn't finish it
Kinda sad NGL but the lyrics and instrumentation was unique and interesting
For a band called "The Zombies" I guess I expected it to be less flowery. But I thoroughly enjoyed it and it was actually kinda calming
More fun from a Garage Band than I was expecting!
Extremely funky with lots of humor and uniqueness.
Good listening. Calming and interesting. A little heavy handed at times.
Fun music. Nothing too remarkable. Good jammin
Country-lite good complete album. Nothing too catchy to remember
Classic American rock. Nothin too transcendent on a first go.
American Rock, nothing pops out necessarily
Definitely different, but I would say it would be a mercy to receive 3 stars. it was 2-fer
Very Funky and jazzy. Good listening all around. Nothing that sticks out tho
Great Rock album. Some crazy riffs on the guitar and some bangers.
Off with your head is a straight banger. The rest of the album is ok but doesn't shine as much as the single
I know nothing about this album and it was ok. But I didn't exactly want to know more. Ok listening.
Its some jazz! No thoughts tho :{
Ace of Spades is a good metal song!
Fun! Beastie boys rock
Important album for the foundation of Gangster Rap. Some catchy songs and beats!
Quite pleasant and some good listening. Preferred the instrumentals
Rock opera!
Fun fun music. Iconic timbaland collab
Best song was mothers lament lol
Annoying
Some interesting Jazz influences that I almost recognize
Progressive jazz, enjoyable but doesn’t pop
Very calming, nothing jumps out
Ephemeral, but kinda long ngl
I think I almost get it.
Classic beach boys. Some interesting songs about being mean to women lol
Not memorable for me
Not particularly interesting
Nothing really special to my ears
