Not just boring music, but almost painful because of the singer's voice and pronounciation. Not my cup of tea, obviously, but this time I have a really hard time getting how anyone else could stand this let alone consider it a classic.

Such a powerful, fun and obviously very influential record! I could do without "Sex machine", which hasn't aged that well, but other than that it is a tight and beautiful record with surprisingly many fragments you know already if you like Hip Hop and Electronic records.

This is a hit record despite being noisy and strange, because at the same time it has great melodies and power. It almost invented 90s Grunge and Alternative Rock, neither Nirvana nor Radiohead would have sounded like they did without this. But most importantly it is just an awesome listen.

Nice and pretty easy listening versions of some classics. Good for relaxing or as a smooth background for some light conversation. This is hardly real country music, I believe, but Willie's voice is familiar and comfortable. I find it a bit baffling, that this is one of his most successful records and considered a classic.

What a great record, all killer, no filler! It invented Southern Rock the way we know it today, but is definitely one of the best Rock albums ever, Southern or not. Free Bird, Simple Man and Tuesdays Gone alone are classics, but the rest is complete up to par.

Plain and simple: One of the great classics of Rock History - and you can hear why. Everyone should now "Me and Bobby McGee" and "Mercedes Benz", but the rest is just as great. Sweaty, heartfelt blues rock with one of the best and most legendary singers ever.

Interesting stuff, doesn't really fit any genre I knew until then. Strange at first, but it grows with every Listen.

Some of the music is really good, but lyrics from a sexist, horny preteen inside a grownups body are so damn cringy and on top of that is Kiedis just a really mediocre singer, so this has definitely not aged well.

Not just boring music, but almost painful because of the singer's voice and pronounciation. Not my cup of tea, obviously, but this time I have a really hard time getting how anyone else could stand this let alone consider it a classic.

Masterpiece and classic. Prototype rock opera, amazing musicianship, great songs, gripping story. What more could you want?

Technically impressive, but just too extreme to be enjoyable

First of all, I love Metallica ever since I was a teenager. This was actually the second Metallica release I bought on the first day, after I had discovered to them through "ReLoad" (of all their records, I know) and quickly inhaled the back catalog. I did not like it then and I still cannot bear it now. I do appreciate the experiment and of course there are some really beautiful moments, "Ecstasy of Gold" being played live is one of them. But most of the time it is just too much for me. There is not much "room" left in Metallica's sound, but the orchestra just keeps pushing its way into the songs partly smothering the band. The worst thing for me is that it kills pretty much all of the quieter parts by filling them in instead of letting the songs breathe. This takes away most of the dynamic especially songs like "Master of Puppets" and "Thing that should not be" are supposed to have. I would have liked to see this live, but under my headphones I will always prefer just about any other Metallica live record.

I get that the bad recording quality and unfinished songs are the artistic concept and they are probably done well in that regard. It just doesn't do much for me.

This sounds all perfect and very tasteful, the musicians are obviously the cream of the crop. Even the songs themselves seem very well-written. And yet the only way this makes me feel is bored and underwhelmed. There is just no passion, no human element and (to me) most important: No real dynamics in terms of speed, loudness and yes, emotion. I never thought that 40 minutes could feel this long... I couldn't help but think of Steven Wilson, who definitely learned from Fagen and Becker's production perfection, but luckily he also learned from Pink Floyd and others how wo write interesting songs and those are mostly missing here.

Nice and completely boring

Just epic, one of the best debuts ever. This has everything Maiden's career has been built one maybe aside from Dickinson's air raid siren voice. DiAnno is completely different, but maybe even better. This mixture of a rough, punky sound and proggy epics is unlike anything else and the fact that many of the songs are bona fide classics speaks for itself.

Simple, loud and fun.

I find it hard to see how this record or even artist should be exceptional in any way. She sounds pleasant enough, but also exactly like a thousand other singers in this genre. Lyrics are okay and seem honest, but it also doesn't seem like she has anything important to say. Guitar work sounds good, but doesn't stand out in any way. This is okay background music, but how anyone could sit down and enjoy this as a favorite record beats me.

Common sure is a really good rapper. But his preachy religious lyrics and Kanyes pompous production with lots of R&B just aren't for me.

Peak Neil Young, plain and simple

What an incredible amount of hits you know from the radio, parties, disco or whatever. The sound is almost too big and perfect. Lyrics are mostly stupid and cheesy, but here nobody cares. The record is way too long and the songs are hard to keep apart, so it all blurs into an overproduced mess of sweet pop trying to sound like hard rock. One or two songs are really fun, but the album as a whole is just too much to be enjoyable.

Absolute classic and I agree that this should be on here. Doesn't mean it's a great record in my book. Aside from the title track and maybe "Life in the fast lane" there is a lot of boring filler tracks and while the musicianship is impressive it is definitely missing some sort of edge to make it interesting instead of just smooth and bland.

Generic and kind of awkward

Albums like this is what I come here for. Never heard of the artist or the album and at first I found it simply strange, but intriguing. And with every run this keeps getting better and more clear and beautiful. I love music like this, because it can grow on me and I will definitely revisit this.

Not just a classic, but a true masterpiece. I've known and loved this record ever since I was fascinated with the "Paranoid Android" music video as a teenager when it came out. I keep coming back over the years and with pretty much every run I feel like I am discovering more aspects, sinking in deeper and understanding it more. Great art.

Pompous and boring

Beautifully weird masterpiece

I'm usually not a Reggae person, but this one annoyed me even more than Bob Marley.

One of my favorite Nick Cave albums, and I love all of them.

This could be a real fun speed rock album, and the title track is bona fide classic. Sadly, the utterly disgusting "Jailbait" ruins it. Different times, sure, but I'm really glad those are over...

This is the first Led Zeppelin album with some filler and quite a few tracks that could have been better by keeping them shorter, but it's still a great record that sounds awesome and inspiring even today.

Radiohead manages again and again to not only be experimental and progressive, but to produce real beauty that reaches the listener on a deeply emotional level. This is one of their best efforts.

An early masterpiece. Queen have not completely evolved yet, but with the BoRap prototype "March of the Black Queen", the glorious "White Queen" and the kind of crazy "Fairy Feller's Master Stroke", which is the soundtrack to a painting, it's all there and with "Seven Seas of Rhye" there's even a first little hit single. One of my favorite records since my childhood!

One of the classics of the "Nu metal" era. This has a lot of pop appeal which probably is most obvious in the classics "Crawling" and "In the end", but there's a whole lot more and a really consistent album here, that has aged really well. Especially the lyrics seem pretty ahead of their time, back then it was not very cool and normal to talk about your psyche like this. But I guess that is one of the reasons why this record is still so relevant and revered even today. RIP Chester!

The title track is fantastic, of course. The rest of the Bowie tracks is okay, but doesn't really stand out very much. Most of side B is a kind of interesting Eno/Fripp ambient project, not at all what you would expect from a Bowie record. Really strange decision to include this here, reminds me of George Martin's B side to the Beatles' "Yellow Submarine", that I don't ever listen to.

"Tales of brave Ulysses" is genius and there are some other classics here, but also some filler.

So many awesome classics here, such creativity and diversity. For me it's all a bit much, though, and two hours of this tend to get long. Could have been a perfect single album, this way it is still great.

One of the first concept albums and it's so much fun, it's creative and it simply rocks.

A perfect album with no bad songs and one of the great classics of the grunge era

Surprisingly good! I only knew "Drive", but this is different and much more up my alley. Will definitely revisit this!

Overlong, overblown and for the most part underwhelming

Not one of his best records and certainly not one that can't be missed. Some good stuff here, but it's too long and sometimes boring to be truly great.

Perfect album.
