I was completely zoned out. None of the songs caught my attention. I am sure this is a classic for a lot of people, it just did not do anything for me.
Enjoyed very much. Wouldn't download but would definitely listen to again if ever working on a painting/design/
This was such a chill album. I loved the vocals, i loved the instruments, i loved that I was able to work while having this in the background.
It was cute, not my cup of tea however.
It felt nostalgic in a weird way, until I found out that they were extremely influential and pioneered the alt/rock movement in the 80s. They inspired artists like Nirvana, the Strokes, Weezer, and Radiohead. Would def listen to again but a lil too old sounding for me. I say 4.5 stars really. They have a "loudquietloud" identity to their sound. Thoroughly enjoyed.
Just not a fan. I always heard knew David Bowie was an icon, but this album did not resonate with me on a first listen. Maybe I need to hear it again, but I won't put myself through that.
This is how I imagined rock and roll to sound when I was younger. Wouldn't listen to it again on purpose, but liked it more than David Bowie.
Started off strong and felt really inspired/creative. I loved the "spectral" and 80s synth sound but also, with a contemporary vision. I genuinely feel like I can tackle any creative task when listening to this music. This is the first 5/5 on this list!
I have never been a Jay Z fan and never really understood the hype. Listening to this album put into perspective why he was so big in the first place. I not into rap or hip hop but even I can see how valuable this album was. I'm sure his albums before this were even better.
This felt nostalgic to me because it made me realize a lot of the 90s-00's cartoons would use jazz in their scores. I was immediately reminded of Tom and Jerry, Seth McFarlane's cartoons, and other Hanna Barbera animations. Obvioulsy, these shows used Jazz for their scores but listening to this album for the first time, felt like I had always known it.
At first, I liked the video gamey sound but then grew tired of it by the middle of the album
Respectfully, I hated this.
I enjoyed this album a lot, some parts were experimental, and I think it paid off.
Such an old-sounding album, I think it definitely had its place in the time it was around, but I was kinda bored with it. I couldn't really get past the first hour of the album; I got kinda bored.
Can't say I hated it, but I also wasn't too involved in it. It was nice to have in the background while I cleaned my room. There was some cool-sounding guitar playing that I enjoyed. So that's something.
It's a classic; it did wonders for music today. I just can't listen to it now unless it's used in the background of a movie/TV show scene. I understand its impact; it's just not doing a lot for me right now, and I wouldn't download it.
This gave me HEAVY The Killers vibe, which makes me think that they were derived from Bruce Springsteen in some way. I loved this album, to be honest. All of the songs gave me this tingle. I will definitely listen to it again.
I was pretty shocked by how much I liked this. I wouldn't normally listen to this kind of music often but I felt energetic listening to it which was a good feeling.
The Beastie Boys are just not my cup of tea. I don't care for their music.
This wasn't bad, just not for me. It was nice to have in the background, but nothing seemed memorable to me, other than the obvious "Tiny Dancer" since it is played everywhere. Still, it at least didn't hurt my ears, and I understand Elton John's cultural influence, so that alone is pretty cool.
Stan is a classic, such a good song, sheesh.
Also, this being from the 2000s, this was during a time when people were extremely conservative and didn't want to have their children listening to "trash or obscenities," but the world is full of it; no matter what you do to protect your children, they will be exposed to it. The more things change, the more they stay the same, 26 years later.
He's angry that they blame everything and everyone except for the parents themselves. Parents can't always protect their children from everything, but they want to blame the people who don't fit the mold. He is angry that people both love and hate him, and that he can't just be himself without judgment. This is actually a very cool album that displays both the power he possesses and the ridicule that comes with it. I think this is a timeless album and reminds me why Eminem's legacy is so powerful.
But mannnnnn this is definitely a very offensive album lmfaooo
I don't love how offensive/violent it is, but also, that's the point of the album. This is supposed to be an album that is pure rage coming straight from him without it being catered to anyone but himself.
There's some nostalgia to this that reminds me of old anime J-Rock, but other than that, I am not a fan. I am sure people liked this back in the day, but it's not doing anything for me now.
Man, I was so bored at first, but as it kept playing, I was noticing my nostalgic receptors flaring up. I've never heard Johnny Cash on purpose before, and I don't think I've heard him at all, period. But I recognized his influence. From cartoons like Over the Garden Wall, Courage, and even Pixar movies, I can tell that he played a major role in helping create a sound that is loved by many.
The album was actually really good, as it told stories of triumph, defeat, and spirituality, while still coming off as "manly" and not in a toxic way either; it was sensitive and really captured what it feels like to be a man. In a world where I hear how often men are hated (for sometimes very valid reasons), I was touched to feel heard and seen as a man myself. Then, to cap it all off, his final song on the album, "We'll Meet Again," made me well up with emotion as if I had made a friend just by listening to this album.
Yes, Mr. Cash, we will meet again.
Dude, such a chill album, classic jazz, and it was perfect reading music. Would listen to it again, but I couldn't tell you what made it special. It just didn't sound like any other time I have heard jazz. I will have to do more research on this.
It's still Kings of Leon, but I prefer their newer stuff when compared to this album. Not really a big fan of this one.
A classic. What can be said that hasn't already? Their music took a generation by storm, and this album had Sparks, AND Yellow, which are basically millennial music to its core. I cannot say that I loved everything in this album, but I definitely liked it. An influential band that is still making music and touring in 2026. Great band, and a great album.
I am not a fan of "live" versions of albums, so this was already on an uphill battle. It wasn't bad, and I enjoyed the tracks "Come as You Are", "Dumb," and "Lake of Fire."
But overall, I don't think I would listen to this again or give it another chance.
This was a surprise to me; I love the pop-style guitar. I found myself bobbing my head and dancing along. I enjoyed the vibe for this one a lot. I think I would've liked to hear the words better, but they sounded a bit mumbled to me; they were still good.
I'm not a fan of metal music, and it felt like I was listening to this album just to say that I did. I'm sure that metal fans would enjoy it and appreciate the influence this band has had on the genre, and I think that's great for them. However, personally, I didn't find it enjoyable or relatable. That said, there were a couple of songs I did like, such as "One" and "To Live Is to Die." I wasn't particularly fond of the singer's voice or lyrics; maybe I just couldn't understand what he was saying. Regardless, I probably wouldn’t choose to listen to any of these songs again.
It wasn't terrible, but I just didn't like it. Maybe it's because I'm so far removed from this genre and the specific time period of this album. It literally didn't do anything for me; I wasn't even bobbing my head or anything. I couldn't understand the vocals either. Nothing resonated with me. It was all "noise, noise, noise," and maybe that was the point, but it just didn't land for me.
This was really cool, experimental, and unique. It wasn't just different; I also heard a lot of psychedelic beats that made me feel like I was in a different plane for a while. It's definitely something I would put on in the background while working. It was kind of therapeutic as well.
