Bleh jay z. He’s the McDonald’s of rap.

So melancholy and excellent

I loved it. So odd and so sublime.

How have I been sleeping on her???

I really like this. Made me feel more than I expected. How was I not an REM fan before?

All Ratings (319)

Fun, not my favorite. Tom Sawyer was great.

Really liked some of the guitar work! The singing is not my fave, and the experimental stuff doesn’t stand the test of time but some really really good tracks in there

Prince

Fun and bluesy, lyrics meh

Fun, a little preachy but good music. Kinda jazzy, you can see the evolution of music here which is cool

Good pop country

Wtf? 5 stars

Love it

Bleh jay z. He’s the McDonald’s of rap.

A nice surprise

Amazing, soft folk with amazing instruments

Expected a little better. Will listen to their later stuff, this was a little too rough and jazzy for me.

So good for the early 90s wtf

Why was I sleeping on this. Vibey and tranche but also old school guitar and vocals

Very unique singing, enjoyable and intriguing but you have to be in the mood for something non conventional

Amazing, sadly have to skip stairway but it’s a classic

A classic

Great lyrics, chill vibes

Fun but a little to heavy on the 80s snare and percussion matching

Love it!

Very unique pop, good or great at times but inconsistent

Some gems but not my favorite abba album right now

Wasn’t sure at first, but it really starts hitting as you go. Very jazzy

I need to learn the harmonica

Very hit or miss. The highs are all time classics and the lows are hard to listen to. How do you even rate an album like that?

Levels were weird. Couldn’t hear the singer?

Love it

Love it. Tim Buckley had problems though, damn.

Ok, but didn’t hold my interest for the whole album

I don’t get it. Maybe he’s a great producer but why would you listen to his solo work?

Yeah this a classic.

So melancholy and excellent

A gem. 5/5

Ok I actually loved this

So melancholy. I love it.

A lot better than I expected for experimental

Chill but not amazing. Better than bad.

Wanted it to be so much better. Most songs just weren’t listenable for me

Adele slaps. I guess everyone but me knew that.

Absolutely lovely

Really liked it. Great vocals, great jazz influences, and the beat made me move.

I just love the talking heads!

Reminded me of the doors. Liked it but not crazy about it

So much more to this than bittersweet symphony. Loved it!

I mean, come on.

So compelling. Loved it.

Maybe too old school for me. Not bad though!

Really old timey but very fun. The songs are very sweet and romantic too

Some promise, but I really didn’t like the churchy/religious songs

I really like this. Made me feel more than I expected. How was I not an REM fan before?

Some classics but some really generic songs here too. They kind of do the same thing romance authors do, where they don’t really describe any of the women they’re talking about. It’s ok once in a while but there are so many songs in a row just about some faceless nameless girl that it’s off putting and almost seems gimmicky.

Halfway through the first song the influence this group has is apparent on drum and bass, dubstep, all of electronic music. It’s a little dated but obviously earns its place on this list.

How did I not listen to this before? This is exactly my jam.

Really fun. Some great bops, really nice guitar

Here were go. Not their best, but still one of the best of all time.

Wild. Over the top, occasionally brilliant, sometimes dated, but very fun.

So good. Should have listened to the whole album earlier

Can an accent be too strong?

Am I getting jaded about the 70s?

Really liked it. Banger after falsetto banger

So county

Can’t remember the last time I listened to it all the way through.

I mean it’s a classic.

This does not spark joy

I loved it. So odd and so sublime.

I just can’t get into these guys.

Pretty ok, not great. Not sure why this is on here tbh.

Campy, dated, boomer as hell but very fun. Somehow 4/5? 3.5 but let’s round up

Shreddy shreddy shreddy byeowwww

It’s ok.

Pretty fun!

How have I been sleeping on her???

I liked it better than I expected!

Some of it I liked, but I think of all the genres that Henry, techno ages the worst. And the techno on this album is just a miss for me.

Good but not great 90s hip hop

Ok, I see you Ananda! The first song grabbed me in a way that the last few albums on here haven’t.

One of many albums that affirms my believe that electronic music has not aged well. Maybe pretty lights and other contemporaries will age better? This sounds like captain kirks nightmare.

It’s fine.

It’s weird! I like the instrumental parts, vocals I feel like you have to be in a certain mood to enjoy.

“It’d be better if it weren’t live” -Aubz. I didn’t hate it but it didn’t feel special or particularly unique.

Was not the vibe.

Weird but I love it

It’s the pixies! 5/5

Fun and folksy

So chill, love it.

Really enjoyed it

Love it. So calming and sweet and a little sad

Oh hey I know this one

Really vibey, I liked it!

Just so good. Love the groove, the vibes, etc

Subversive, sublime, takes me right back to a time and place

So vibey, I loved it

Love the Roots. Varied styles, but all good

Just fine

Can something be TOO 90s hip hop? (I know this came out in the 80s but it’s 90s to me and I’m the one writing this??)

Now I know what they’re saying when they go mey mama naa naa nanana. 3/5.

I like it. Jay Z still sucks tho.

Vibey, we liked it

We liked it! Wirth listening to beyond take on me

I liked it more than Aubz… also Anderson .paak
