This was so cool. If you're reading this, I implore you to listen to it while playing any N64/PS1/DC era racing game. NFS or Gran Turismo.
Arguably the best Metallica album ever made. It's no wonder that everytime they try to do a "thrash comeback" it ends up sounding like Justice. Death Magnetic and Hardwired, I'm looking STRAIGHT AT YOU. Metallica's greatest moment influenced by personal tragedy. 10/10.
Good good shit.
I liked it
Liked it more than I thought I would.
Don't like reggae, don't care for it, never did, probably never will. I understand its importance in music and all but that's it. Listening to this was like torture. Musically speaking it wasn't bad so 2 stars, but I can live the rest of my life peacefully and never listen to anything like this again, and don't regret it. It's just all sounds the same to me. Maybe because I'm not a pothead.
Mid. Molly's Chambers is overrated, don't get why it has all those plays.
very good, liked it a lot.
Amazing, some tracks drag for too long but it won me over. Might listen to it again.
Take it Easy, what an opening song. The rest of the album kinda falls and picks itself up at times, but for being the very first Eagles album it's very good.
Having never listened to a full Quest album before, I was very impressed when the album ended and I realised there were absolutely no bad songs in it. Banger after banger. Absolute 10/10
A good album that i don't want to listen to ever again. Good shit m8
If Joy Division didn't exist, this would have probably been the soundtrack of my teenage years.
Good shit
Great voice, good songs, not that interesting as a whole. Might need a re-listen.
This is a very weird record, equally horrible and amazing. At times it felt like listening to the unloved, disfigured child of David Bowie and Nick Drake. I take consolation in knowing that Syd Barrett from Pink Floyd sucked on the guitar as much as I do, but if I have to listen to fucking Love You again, I swear to David Bowie I'll revive Syd and stab him myself. 2.5/5.
This shit sucked ass.
I liked it a lot but I didn't see myself listening to the whole thing again. But I liked it.
Damn, I really wanted to like this. Despite the superb production and lyrics I can't understand (I don't have any problems with this, I like when I can't understand what they're saying), it didn't do anything for me. I didn't find any songs that stand out and it ended up sounding kind of generic. Which is a real shame, because like I said, I really wanted to like it. Oh well. 2.5/5 the definition of mid
When I was a teenager and started developing more my interests, I stopped caring for the Oasis Brothers, mainly because Blur and Pulp were (and still are) much, much better in my opinion. For years and years I've held this public opinion of "Oasis sucks" that even my friends got tired of, but secretly I was listening to Don't Look Back in Anger and Some Might Say before bed or during trips. Today I finally listened to the whole thing and god dammit those Oasis Brothers made some good fucking songs. Catchy as hell, instant radio bangers that it's no wonder that they still get played to this day. Roll With It, Wonderwall and Don't Look Back in a straight row is criminal but a big listening pleasure. I still won't ever forgive them for being massive assholes, and Blur is still better than them. They got back and there's a high chance they'll come to my country. And while I'm not a fan, I'd go just to say I saw them live. And because I already saw Pulp and Blur, I gotta finish that Britpop trinity. And to piss off an Oasis fan because I bought a ticket they couldn't.
No idea who's more pretentious: People who love Radiohead, or people who hate them. I've always been a middle ground, enjoying "hits" like High and Dry, Karma Police and Just, realising now that I don't hate the band. I hate the fans and the haters. Given this is my first full Radiohead album experience, I'll try to be as objective as I can be. It was okay, surprising at times since I didn't expect I'd like most of the songs, but it's not the second coming of Christ like some people act it is. Good shit, very very good shit. 9/10
Damn, I got kinda disappointed. Everybody always talks about "HOLY SHIT IT'S ACHTUNG BABY BY U2", and considering that I have already listened to two U2 albums (hehe) I thought to myself "aw yeah this may be it. Finally after many 9/10's this will be the perfect 10". Well it wasn't. If anything, I don't think it holds up to War or Joshua Tree. It's very commercial in nature and sound, but kinda lacks that U2 thing that made me love those two other albums. I don't know. Kind of overrated? Like I said, it sounds very commercially succesful (and it probably was), but in my honest eyes is in no way an improvement from Joshua Tree. And now I kinda wish to change my rating of it from a 4 to a 5. It's different, sure. Bold and brash. But not THAT good. 6 - maybe 7 tops - out of 10. Still not sure.
God damn I'm depressed...
Good weird shit. Cool in the Pool is a banger. 3.5/5

Very mid Elvis record. Not an Elvis fan beyond the hits. The mixing is superb though like wtf. 3/5
At times a journey through my inner thoughts. 10/10 for sound and lyrics.
I listened to it while playing some PS1 Need for Speed. 10/10 experience, would recommend. The album itself is a 8/10.
Didn't really do it for me. Besides Victoria and Shangri-La the rest of the album doesn't sound as good and the songs sound like generic 1970 rock. 2.5/5, but I'll give it a 3 for convenience sake.
This was so cool. If you're reading this, I implore you to listen to it while playing any N64/PS1/DC era racing game. NFS or Gran Turismo.
Good, boring at times, but Tattooed Love Boys and Brass in Pocket make it worth the time spent.
I'm probably gonna be incredibly biased for this one because Blur is one of my favorite bands and I just saw them live a year ago. This album is britpop masterclass. Beetlebum is one of the best album openers ever, and this album also has a lot of great album-only tracks like M.O.R., Death of a Party, Chinese Bombs and Strange News from Another Star. So sad that americans sleep on Blur and britpop as a whole. They're really missing out. And it's not even my favorite Blur album, that award goes to The Great Escape
Nah, fuck all of you pretentious douchebags. Limp Bizkit fucking slaps, and no amount of fucking Captain Beefharts and Talking Timbuktús will deny it. I used to listen to this album on my way to work on the night shifts and I felt cool as fuck. Alongside Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park, Mezzanine by Massive Attack and Wither Blister Burn + Peel by Stabbing Westward.
Come on, it's Purple Rain. It's perfect.
I enjoyed it and thought it was a good time, but it drags a lot by the end. Some good songs, great opener with Can't Hold Us Down and can confidently said that I liked more than half of the songs in it, counting interludes. But by I'm OK I was waiting for it to end already. 3.5/5 Good time.
It would be a lie to say I'm a fan. To me, every Dinosaur Jr. song sounds the same, with Feel the Pain being the exception. Even the highly regarded "Freak Scene" sounds like the same song again. I've actually seen them live and I could not tell you when a song ended and the other started. They played 18 SONGS that felt like 4. This album was sort of like that concert. Boringly listening to every song, waiting for the album to end so I can go and listen to better things. I always try to be objective, since every piece of music is way more complex than just "it's good" or "it's bad", but there are times where the album makes me don't even care about objectiveness anymore. Like Supa Dupa Fly, or the other ones I haven given 2/5's. Does it have a place in music history? I guess, but I'm not interested enough in the band to go into that deep dive. I was going to give it a 2, but "Don't" fucked things up and turned into a straight 1. I don't care. 1/5. And that's a lot.
Finally, some good fucking gay ass music. I loved it.
All of the songs sound the same, which can be both a good thing and a bad a thing. Anyway, I liked it at first but it dragged a bit.
I actually have this CD, bought it years ago but for some reason never listened to it as a whole. It was good, very good. Not perfect, but very very good. 4.5/5
Incredibly disappointing. They're called "LES RYTHMES DIGITALES", the album is called "DARKDANCER" and that album art goes so fucking hard. I thought to myself "DAMN THIS MUST BE SOME BREAKBEAT SHIT LIKE PRODIGY OR CIRRUS", instead I got Baby's First DJ Set. The production is good. The beats, while repetitive, are good in their own way. The vocals are atrocious and kill every good vibe that the songs make. The only songs that I could say I liked were Hypnotise and Take a Little Time, and I wish the album sounded more like that last one track because the rest is bad. And not "so bad is good". No, it's bad. I even made the exercise of listening to it while playing Need for Speed on the PS1, and not even the magic of polygonal NFS could save this album. I WAS FALLING ASLEEP. LRD EVEN MADE A REMIX FOR PURE MORNING BY PLACEBO, AND THAT REMIX IS GOOD. WHAT IS THIS? 2/5, but 3/10. Disappointing.
Damn this was good. It took me back to when I first listened to The Stone Roses for some reason. Better than Joshua Tree? I don't know, but I liked it the same, if not more.
I'll always have a soft spot for this album. It will always remind me of the big city, specifically Santiago de Chile. I'm chilean (hola qué wea), and I grew up mostly in a small town. When the time came to move to the big city, I used to listen to this album nonstop and it was the best match it could have been.
It has been said before, but anyone who doesn't rate this 5 stars, doesn't know what they're talking about.
3.5/5 but I'm gonna go with 4 for convenience sake.
I have a complicated story with The Smiths. I used to listen to them a lot during my dark days in high school, specially this album which I have on CD (it was a gift from a friend), yet I can't remember anything about it besides I Know It's Over and There is a Light. I despise Morrissey and I refuse to listen to anything with his name attached to it, The Smiths being exceptions. I don't even listen to The Smiths anymore because there's a sort of stigma related to their fanbase which I don't want to be associated with, and because they make me remember of those dark days. With that out of the way, the album is very mid and Morrissey's voice is annoying. The exceptions being I Know It's Over, Bigmouth, and There is a Light. I can't believe that the same people who love this shit slander Robbie Williams' Rudebox, and objectively superior album Go fuck yourselves.
Yo what a fantastic piece of art this is. I can't believe I never listened to the whole thing until now. Teenage me would have loved it.
Good time, good shit, kinda mid. Talking Heads can do better. 3/5
Bocanada pero para los gringos. Hermoso y futurista como el OST de un juego de PS1/Dreamcast que nunca existió. So far my only review in spanish (creo). 10/10
Arguably the best Metallica album ever made. It's no wonder that everytime they try to do a "thrash comeback" it ends up sounding like Justice. Death Magnetic and Hardwired, I'm looking STRAIGHT AT YOU. Metallica's greatest moment influenced by personal tragedy. 10/10.
Good shit, good shit. 8/10.
Look I like the opening song, it shaped a lot of my high school sleepless nights, but the whole album is sadly not as good as I was hoping it to be. 3/5
Tracks 1 through 8 come and go. Nothing fancy, nothing that stands out besides the personal favorite "Philosophy by Numbers". Tracks 9 and 10 though, OH BOY. I wish the whole album sounded like that. Overall, 3.5/5. But I'm gonna give it a 4 in favor of those two final tracks.
Good good shit.
Absolute perfection. Pinkerton before Pinkerton.
Good shit, good shit. Way better than Nothing's Shocking.
