This rocks hard. Very catchy and I can see why AC/DC is as popular as they are.

Tons of raw talent. I like how he has matured through his career. Some of the songs are emotionally raw and can even be a bit difficult to listen to. But there are some huge hits on here. Fun to listen to.

I liked the title song a lot. The rest of the punk sound was quite good.

Really like the peaceful/ethereal sound.

Sounds a lot like Tom Waits in places, but it just didn't have the same impact to me.

This is an excellent album. Has a great swing and would be very fun to dance to. The Spotify "Suggested" songs that came on after continued to be great.

Very fun album. Lots of really great hits on there.

Great for "thinking" music where you need to focus but want good beats and sound going on in the background.

Super smooth. I liked the similar songs that Spotify found as well.

Interesting album. I liked the bluesy kind of stuff a lot. But some of the other songs were not things I like.

Grandfather of blues. Love this music.

Very easy to listen to. I appreciate the "good ol' country twang." Had to look to see when this was recorded, thinking it had to be 60s or so, but turned out it was 80s.

Great album. Smooth Criminal alone is amazing.

Strong nostalgia here, but the music isn't my favorite.

Justin has some very catchy songs and clearly has talent. I had really only heard one or two of the songs prior to this, so it was interesting to listen to the whole album. Rock Your Body is, of course, the one most people have heard. But I had not heard Cry Me A River which I also liked. I do wonder, though, if Nothin' Else sounding, well, exactly like Paint It Black is a bit too obvious.

Just never could really get into R&B.

So nice, listened to it twice...

Connected (the title song) is amazing. First heard it on the Hackers soundtrack and found this album from there.

Could not get through this album.

Very good "focus" music. Enjoyed it.

Really great focus music.

Definitely not what I would expect from the Beach Boys. Very bluesy and really liked songs like Student Demonstration Time.

I did not know the Byrds were so country. I enjoyed the album, but a bit of a surprise having only heard a few of their most popular songs previously.

Knew some of their popular stuff, but was not ready for the Gospel music. That was excellent and unexpected. It very much showed off their voices in ways that I would not have known about just having a passing knowledge of Destiny's Child.

Nice album. Love Vincent and Babylon.

Didn't know "River" as Joni's originally. Always love that song - even when it's not Christmas.

Content Not Available in Spotify.

Very much like the use of the African music.

I very much like Eminem, but I prefer his newer(ish) stuff - since the Eminem Show. In particular, I could do this album without any of the skits.

So the music is okay, but what kind of lyrics are these? Very...interesting?

I love the blues sounds on this album. Not as much the rockabilly, though I don't dislike it.

I know he's a legendary singer and all, but I can't stand that "yell" that he does. Much of the music also sounds exactly the same.

It's not bad, exactly, but I just couldn't listen to it.

Like the music. Don't really like live albums.

Blowin' in the Wind is a classic. Don't Think Twice, It's All Right is a personal favorite. And with Bob Dylan's Blues and many other excellent songs, this is a 5-star from me.

I like his slower music. Don't really enjoy his faster music. So, we'll settle on a 3 star.

I like the Tubular Bells, but the rest of the album feels unnecessarily long.

Peter Frampton is a good "rocker" but I really don't like live albums.

I generally like this type of music, but this is a Live album (strike one) and it has a lot of talking (strike two). So, I'm not liking this so much.

Kind of an intense album. And not really techno. Not really trance. Sort of dance. Can't really place it. Loons in the one album was cool.
