You can definitly see that he was already on track for his later extreme views. But nothing offensive yet, just regular anit-establishment views. So this didn't defer me from this record. Thought it was an alright alt-rock album. Maybe a little pretentious in some cases.

I did not enjoy this. From the vocals to the musical decisions there wasn't a lot I liked.

I liked his more melodic approach on Sea Change way better. This was just too experimental for me. Also I don't like how he handled the inclusion of different genres. There is nothing coherent that binds the songs together. The genre jumps were just too dramatic for me.

You can definitly see that he was already on track for his later extreme views. But nothing offensive yet, just regular anit-establishment views. So this didn't defer me from this record. Thought it was an alright alt-rock album. Maybe a little pretentious in some cases.

I accidently listened to the "Very Best" Album by accident, which is only 30 minutes long. Only afterwards did I discover that the actual album is over 3 hours long. Since I already felt some diversity lacking, I'm going to deduct a point since I didn't listen to the whole album.

I really wanted to not hate this. But it's just so far apart from what I like in music, that I could not enjoy this.

Was quiet surprised to find an early grime album on the list. Was really influential for the genre. It was alright to listen to but has aged a bit.

Damn, really didn't expect to like an Ice Cube album that much. The songs were nicely arranged. Liked a lot of the instrumentals. Also the lyrics are good and still relevant.

Enjoyed this quite a bit. Not the biggest fan of his voice, but the songs are arranged nicely. Could have also been a bit shorter.
