Great album

I loved the rhythm and melodies, but I don't have the experience with Latin music to make an informed critique.

I do enjoy Americana/Folk/Country, and this album is great, but I need some variety. Revelator, Red Clay Halo and Everything Is Free are great songs.

Absolute banger from start to finish

I wasn't fully on board when this first came out. Didn't understand what direction they were heading, but after repeated listening and the benefit of time, it is truly a masterpiece.

Solid start to finish. So many different styles of music jammed into one album.

Boring

Bruce is great, the band sounds great and the lyrics are good, but I just never got into the whole product.

Amazing how times and tastes change. Nostalgia for the early 2010's. Loved this when it came out, and still do, but this is now relegated to background music. 4 songs is all you need before moving on.

Haunting. Not into 60's psychedelic, but this is different. Learning the story behind the album while listening made it more powerful. Will never listen to it again.

Great album. Heard everywhere when I started college. Sometimes hard to determine if it's a good song or good memory

Perfectly fine without any stand out features. Nothing to remember

Never was a member of the Fanclub. Strong Big Star influences with a touch of Lemonheads.

Jams last a bit long, but great funk

Not my thing. Sounds bland and very 90's.

I love her raw sound and don't give shit attitude. Not something I actively choose to listen to, but always enjoy when it's on.

Early 90's hip hop at it's best. I will listen to the album in it's entirety until I die

Appreciate the lesson on what you are hearing. The album becomes too long and chaotic for my tastes.

I love Bonnie Raitt, but there are definite ups and downs in this album. Some great pop and blues, but also late 80's elevator music

One of the original rock and rollers. 50's rock was never my favorite style, but Little Richard gets 5 stars for his contribution to modern American music.

Not my thing

Just love the beat. Was something new when it came out and still pops up on the radio.

I like Janelle and her beats, but the music gets a bit repetitive. Enjoyed the back end of the album.

Boring. Boring. They are trying so hard to be artistic

I don't hear the amazing "flow". It sounds like a GTA 3 radio station

That was amazing. I've never heard of this group. Would have been 100% into these guys if I had discovered them when they came out in the early 90's.

Rated 3 more for memories than love of the music. Song was everywhere when I moved to Chicago at age 23. I never understood all the hype.

Never heard of them. I Like the sound, but sounds similar to other Brit-Pop

Never liked Madonna. Ever. This was big at the time, but aged very poorly.

I enjoyed this. I go to Beck for upbeat fun, but this shows a matured personality

No. Never. Aerosmith copied the Rolling Stones and should have died after their 2 good songs in the 70's. Run DMC should get royalties from this band.

How did this make it on the 1001 list?

Doesn't get better. 5 stars always.

Not a metal fan, but I like elements of this. The repeating instrumental of Big Money and Stinking Drunk stick with me. I think the vocals detract from the music.

One of the greats

Great album. Great to hear the original spark of the genre. Doesn't hit and all songs, but the great ones are spectacular.

This album was so bad, I made sure to listen to it through New Pipe on my phone so not to get it into my Youtube algorithm.

Always 5 for the Tribe

Sounds like Dinosaur Jr.

This was my style in the early 2000's

Big fan of Wilco, but they could have cut a few songs out of the album.

Liked this much more than I thought

Surprisingly good.

4. It's a 3, but gets an extra star for nostalgia

This is why I listen everyday. Never heard of this album and I love it.

This was in my wheelhouse in the early 2000's, but shouldn't be on this list.

I like Bruce Springsteen, but not his music.
