He got three “oh that’s who that is” on this album.

What a terrible album. It goes nowhere and has one catchy tune. This is played on a loop in the dentist's office in Hell.

Awful

She screams a lot.

Oof. Outside of the few hits every other song is awful.

This is exactly why I’m doing this. The album is fantastic and I never would have found it.

Two live albums in a row. Ooof.

Pleasantly surprised

Not even close to the best U2 album

He got three “oh that’s who that is” on this album.

That’s was the longest 39 minutes and 51 seconds of my life.

This is one of my favorite albums. I listen to it often. Todd Rundgren was the man producing this. Its perfect. Not a bad second on the whole album. Andy gobbled up all The Beatles albums, digested them and gave us the Skylarking masterpiece.

Solid album.

This is a very Thomas Dolby sounding album. I get he produced it but it’s hard to hear Prefab Sprout in it. I love Dolby so I’m not complaining. But I’d like to have heard this without him.

I was pleasantly surprised how pretty and cozy these songs are. I know I’m late to the party but this is the album you want to put on when it’s just you and your special someone when no one else is around.

That was truly awful. I have no idea how they became popular. The Lemonheads cover of Mrs Robinson and The Bangles Hazy Shade of Winter were far superior to the ones on this album.

A classic. Not a bad song on the album

Its the Budweiser of grunge. Predictable, plain, boring, and just like dozens of other bands.

I have no idea how this is a popular album

I’m convinced they play this album 24/7 at Guantanamo Bay to torture the inmates. These songs play for months in every shopping center and store. It’s just awful and over played.

That was better than expected

What else could I possibly say that hasn’t been said about this album already? Few are equal none are better.

I’m ashamed to say I’ve never listened to The Beach Boys beyond their hits. I was expecting all surf music. This was great.

Ugh.

I bought this album the day it came out and have listened to it countless times since. Every song if fantastic. Bjork's voice is magical, she can have a guttural growl all while sounding cute.

He’s trash

I know this should be in my wheelhouse, but ooof. Just too light and flighty. Its like straight out of a bad 80's movie montage sequence.

Same pop crap, same pop channel.

Tuna melt? Pastrami? Thats a hungry hard hitting man right there.

Like fingernails on the chalkboard.

It's cheesy and it drones on what seems like forever.

I'm not going to make a Lewbowski reference, but the Eagles just suck. When the album was over Spotify played Steely Dan and what a relief. Steely Dan sucks dog shit, but it was better than this.

What the fuck is this and why is it on the list? There are 2 more albums of theirs I have to listen to. Shoot me now.

Fantastic.

Kinda boring. He sounds like a dozen other people.

There isn't a bad song on the album. Fantastic!

I have no idea what this was (it's all over the place) and I don't want to hear it again.

Its okay. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You made a beautiful album. RIP

It’s been a long time since I heard this album. It did not hold up.

Holy fuck that was awful. I could feel myself losing I.Q. points the longer I listened. I am now convinced that not everyone who drinks Monster soda listens to Limp Bizkit but everyone who listens to Limp Bizkit drinks Monster.

Three songs in and it seemed like an hour of tourture.

Nothing remotely remarkable.

Complete and utter drivel. All they do is make some backhanded sex reference and repeat it to shitty basic music. This album is a perfect example of music made for people who barely passed high school. Just a fucking dumpster fire. The only thing worse than this album is the people who enjoy it.

I'm sure I'll get hate for saying Santana was "just all right". Maybe you have to be in the right mood for it to strike you.

I like PJ Harvey, but this didn't land for me.

I was kinda on board with the first few songs, but it fell off pretty quickly.

What a slog. That was way too long.

Fantastic and fun!

I can see how someone might like this. Its just not for me.

Just boring over produced pop crap. Same thing that’s always put out.

I know friends are going to hate me for this, but...meh.

This album is perfect. There is not a bad song on it.

I wasn't expecting to like this so much! So many solid tunes.

I have never heard of them before this. I will for sure revisit them.

This man is amazing.

I bought this album at midnight the day of its release. I loved it then. It was angry, digital, fun and sweaty. I haven't listed to this all the way through in a long time. I forgot how awesome it was.

Wow. I have listened to the more recent offerings and I loved them. I had never heard this album.....I'm glad they evolved in to something better.

My testicles are smaller having listened to this.

Again, this is why I'm doing this project. I had no idea this person existed and I totally enjoyed this album. Its a fun fusion of music.

Banger

I have listened to this album countless times, but it's been a while. I was ready to give it a 5 star without listening. It didn't age well—it was very cringy.

Overproduced pop crap.

I really wanted to like this. It possibly seems like one of those albums you have to listen to a few times to get.

I really wanted to like this album. When I was a kid Take On Me made me realize bands didn't have to be just American 4 piece rock bands. Wow the rest of the album was a snorefest or just bad.

Admittedly, I will not listen to this. He's a disgusting human and I will not give one cent to him by playing it.

I was looking forward to this one as I’d never heard it. I was disappointed.

What a terrible album. It goes nowhere and has one catchy tune. This is played on a loop in the dentist's office in Hell.

This album is perfect. There is nothing that I can say that hasn’t been said about this banger of an album.

This is a giant piece of shit. Courtney drones on and on and on. She should team up with Yoko Ono, they would sound great together. This should not even be in the top 10,001 albums to listen to before you die. The next album in my queue is Rio by Duran Duran. On what planet should this album and that be on the same list? This is a crime against humanity.

How this is on the list is beyond me. What a giant piece of shit.

I forgot how many bangers were on this album.

These songs are so overplayed. You hear them everywhere. I'm so sick of this band.

I am forever changed.

That man could sing.

I'd give this a 3.5. I want to listen again.

It’s fine music, just not my jam.

The first few songs were fun and catchy. As it went on I was waiting for it to end.

I give anyone permission to punch me square in the dick if they hear me play this album again.
