Probably like a lot of millennials (whether they realize it or not) I was familiar with this from MIA's sample of "Where Is My Mind" on "20 Dollar" from Kala. When you listen to this, you really can hear so many later albums that it influenced...but it's not quite for me. I love the energy, love the general alt-rock sound, but I just need a bit more melody.

It's fun and energetic and it has a warm nostalgic glow for me. Some tracks maybe overstay their welcome a bit, but overall I love it.

Bob Dylan has always been an artist that I've wanted to like more than I actually do. I wasn't familiar with this particular album, but after listening I feel the same way. I think a big issue is how obtuse his lyrics are. Maybe if I had some connection to 1965 it would hit for me, but since I don't I just kind of generally don't know what the hell he's talking about most of the time. A harmonica can only take you so far.

Like moving room to room at a really edgy 70s house party.

It's a very descriptive title.

The production sounds dated by today's standards, but it's truly outrageously catchy. Pop just doesn't really get better than this?

Rap is not my genre, but I can appreciate that this is really good.

Big Tony Hawk energy. It's a good workout album.

This was more complex than I was expecting and it had some tracks that I did enjoy. However, it overstayed it's welcome and I really didn't enjoy the back half as much as the front.

It's not my favorite David Bowie, but it's still got some bangers. I'm glad that this detour into "blue-eyed soul" is in his discography in any event.

Fun!

Solid classic rock. Would sound good on a dive bar jukebox anywhere in the world.

Yeah, it was fine. Not something I will particularly remember, but not bad.

It sounds old, and I mean that in a good way. Like Gillian Welch just came down from the Appalachian mountains and laid down an album.

Fine for what it is, I just don't imagine I will return to it.

It's interesting, it really is. And there are some tracks that I like. But, it's a bit too...I don't know...floaty(?) for me. I wish it had more of a rock edge. Solid 2.5
