Never heard this before, really amazing.

I can see how important and influential this is, but it’s not for me.

This would be a 5 if they cut a few songs. Common 90’s using every minute of space on a CD.

Animal Nitrate is a great single, rest of the album wasn’t doing it for me.

One of the first records my parents bought me and still an exciting listen that unveils new details and sounds all these years later. The songs, playing, and sound is nothing short of immaculate.

This was a huge surprise. I’m typically not into folk-y stuff but this album is so much more than that. Obviously knew the hits, the rest of the album is just as good if not better.

Super nostalgic album from the year I moved to Brooklyn. Still sounds how I remember it.

I was such a huge fan of Things Fall Apart that I bought this album the day it came out…and was disappointed. All these years after the last time I heard it, still underwhelming. Bloated, too many cheesy interpolations, and very little of what made love their earlier work so much.

Masterpiece.

Early U2 is great but feel like it’s singles and filler, the album cuts are kind of boring. Also, The Edge ripped off Andy Gill from Gang of Four in a spectacular way.

Separating the art from the artist is tricky, especially when said artist makes very personal music. Kanye wasn’t particularly problematic at this time, he was a breath of fresh air in the mainstream when this album came out. As an obsessive underground rap nerd, he bridged the gap in a way few did. I listen to the bulk of the albums in this project at the gym in the morning. The gym I belong to is at the Jewish Community Center. His turn to maga nazi was tough for me as a longtime fan, but his early work is still very important to me.

Bluesy nonsense.

I missed this when it first came out. To me sounds very of its time and didn’t age as gracefully as, say, Massive Attack or Portishead.

Would’ve been a 4

Masterpiece. No album fully immerses me in an aura from front to back like Disintegration.

Liked the message, but this felt like bad Public Enemy mixed with spoken word. Too heavy handed without the sonic fun of PE.

Two great hits and a bunch of filler, which is my review of every big Stones album.

Was fully expecting to hate this, but I was wrong. The atmosphere across the album is so good and her voice is gorgeous.

What a pleasant surprise. Definitely not a metal guy, but the melodies and songwriting are pretty incredible on this.

Big Back in Black-Songs About Fucking

The Bends spawned a bunch of middle of the road bands in the late 90’s, Travis being among the middlest of the road.
