Took me a while to realize this isn't just a shitty troll album, people actually listen to it and like it LOL

This was torture to get through. Sounds like a high school band that thinks they're actually good.

A few ok moments but mostly garbage, none of which I would ever choose to listen to

Interesting to find out that this album was made into a musical as well

Some fun riffs but I never liked how they just talk instead of sing sometimes

I'm not a country fan but this was kinda fun

I've never really understood the love of Bowie's music. I just can't get in to it.

Very Beatles-esque

Not their best work but still a great album. Not a fan of these remastered versions TBH

Jazz like this has a place but it's not in my ears

Blitzkrieg Bop is a great song but the rest of this album I literally couldn't tell when one song ended and the next began.

Solid Beatles album

I had some appreciation for how her poetry merged with the music but for the most part I couldn’t wait for this to end

Don't love it all but the parts I do love are fantastic

Really fun album, great singer

One of the best songwriters, but I can't forgive his "singing voice"

One of the best

Yikes

Some displays of talent intermixed with horrible sounding music

I'm not normally a fan of soul but this was top notch

Not a fan of her music but the girl can SING

Super talented artist but just a lot of weird stuff

Lots of teenage hours spent listening to this

She's got talent but I can't imagine ever choosing to listen to any of this

This was torture to get through. Sounds like a high school band that thinks they're actually good.

Some great songs on this but also some awful noise

Not too shabby until "I heard her call my name". Like a cheese grater on my eardrums.

One of the best ever by the best band ever

I bet if he tried he could say "motherfucker" a few more times and really spice this up

Most of the songs sound the same but they all sound good

A pleasant background listen

His singing voice always annoys me, but great music otherwise

99% of punk rock sucks. It's the rare 1% that makes it worth listening to. This is not that 1%, but it's better than most.

This jazz album is far better than most

Can't forgive his singing voice. And the musical compositions are pretty basic and all similar. But the lyrics are always great.

Good for his time, but not exactly exciting music anymore

Really great EDM, made for excellent work background music

Some great songs on here but it would be cut in half if he couldn't use the fuck word

The guy was clearly talented but not sure what he'd do without curse words, it would only leave 20% of the album

Slide guitars coupled with country music are kinda what my nightmares are made of

5 stars is the only appropriate rating for this album. Anyone disagreeing has the wrong opinion.

Never been a fan of gangster rap but this is probably as good as it gets. Couldn't help but find myself nodding my head to the beat.

Strong open but then just kinda goes downhill after the first few tracks

Prince is overrated. There, I said it.

Got a kick out of Wham Bam but the rest I would never listen to again

Suffered through this one

The WTF/s rate was high with this album

Took me a while to realize this isn't just a shitty troll album, people actually listen to it and like it LOL

Deeply meaningful and top notch reggae, none has been better

This album really comes out swinging and then becomes a snooze really fast.

Most of this I would never listen to again, but the poetry is just real good

Just kept getting worse and worse.

Some weird ass shit

Super weird shit

Some of these are terrible and some of them are fun, averages out to an ok album

One of the GOAT

Mostly some weird ass shit with a few moments of decent sounding music. 1.5 stars.

Great album. I had no idea this is where Gangsta's Paradise got its genesis. Will never hear it the same again.

Never heard this album before but was humming the first 3 tracks all day afterward. None of the rest of the album really compares to the strong open but still a solid album.

Some of these are really fun but it's just the same old same old after the first few

Mostly screaming and cursing with occasional displays of talent

This album has a shit-ton of streams but I honestly can't understand why it's so popular. It's the kind of music you just play in the background and ignore. Nothing great, nothing terrible.

Better jazz than most, it's fatal flaw is that it's jazz

Talented but I was so happy when this was over

Wow, so many classics on one album, amazing

The more Neil Young albums I get the less I like him. They all sound the same.

I'm all for pushing boundaries and trying new things, but not all of that experimentation needs to go into your album

Decent jazz musicians but I don't know why anyone would ever listen to this

While these are good tributes, all the originals are still much better.

A few good moments but mostly wading through copious amounts of noise to get there

A few ok moments but mostly garbage, none of which I would ever choose to listen to

Korn's music is what you get if you forget to tell a teenage mic-yeller band that they suck and they keep practicing. They eventually get good at making really shitty music.

Wow, she was non-goth Amy Winehouse

Easily one of the worst albums I've ever endured. I've heard more pleasant sounds in public restrooms.

Talented in her own way but I would never listen to this.

Yeah I can't even pretend to like this shit

No sense in pretending this iconic album isn't a 5/5. Any other rating is just someone kidding themselves. This album starts strong and stays strong to the end.

I will never understand how this type of jazz music is beloved by anyone. It's just a bunch of noise, loosely connected.

Crazy to think she was this accomplished by 27, imagine what she would have done by now

This is the worst kind of jazz. A bunch of musicians making loosely connected noise with their various instruments such that you can't follow any of it.

Can be a little laborious to get through Shine On but it has its high moments. And Wish You Were Here is one of the best songs ever written.

Truly terrible noise much of the time

Started out pretty decent and then turned super weird and experimental

Started out alright but then turned super super weird

Tornado of Souls... what more needs to be said

Gets the job done for the situation where you need soothing background music. Otherwise it's boring AF

Not something I'd just turn on for fun but excellent background music

Definitely a 5 star start to the album, back half struggles a bit

A lot of forgettable tracks but that bass groove on Lord of Light was 🔥

First album I ever owned. Still holds up all these years later as one of the best ever.

Iconic, so many hits on one album. Descends into noise a few times so I'd call it a 4.5

Jazz that you can actually groove to. So much "great" jazz is more like "Listen to how all these noisemakers make noise in unison! And then riff of each other's noise! It's the best music evar!!!1!!11" This is actually quite fantastic to have on in the background.
