good album

Title track and Mrs. Robinson cover = great. Everything else = mid

Too long

Would go 3.5 if I could. Incredible musicianship bogged down by lyricism that feels juvenile at many points.

Another 3.5. Theres a reason they're #4 of the big 4

As someone who enjoys so much of what this influenced, it's a challenging listen to say the least. Does that mean it should have a "classic" rating? It's the classic album to point to if someone claims they "listen to everything" and you want to put that to the test, sure. But does it need to be in the same conversation as some of the best music ever made? I'm not sure I believe that to be true.

Production is great, I enjoy Freak on a Leash, but man it hasn't aged well at all.

I don't seek Taylor out yet I knew a good chunk of this album. I think that speaks volumes. The only thing keeping it from a 5 for me is the lack of variety in the lyrics.

EDM isn't for me so I'm not surprised I didn't enjoy this, but it was far more boring than I anticipated. Not sure if I need to hear this before I die.

Good punk album lifted up by the saxophone section

Arctic Monkeys, but not. They're not something I seek out often, but I respect. Same story here

Reggae's never been my jam outside of a few Bob Marley songs. Mad respect for the man behind this, but the album itself didn't wow me.

Only partially available on Tidal and YT Music so can't fully rate

I thought it was satire, and when it became apparent that it wasn't, I quickly checked out.

AC/DC perfected their craft. It may be simple, but there's some really catchy songs on this album. As a rock and metal enthusiast, you'd think I'd like this more but their simplicity has bored me more often than it's entertained me.

I've only gotten one other Nick Cave album and I enjoyed the punk elements and style a lot. That isn't to say this was bad, but I wasn't expecting somber piano throughout. I suspect a different mood gets a higher rating from me.

Had a hard time putting my 70s hat on for some country, a genre I'm already pretty "meh" on.

I've still not figured out what I enjoy about electronic music. It's usually not much, and this album reinforced that feeling. You'd think with a bunch of different electronic albums on this list that I'd find something that appeals to me but so far, nothing.

too long and not enough interesting things happening

Never listened to Elvis Costello before. Unsure if this was the best candidate for a first timer

Always enjoy Frank's voice but the slower nature of this one wasn't what I was looking for. Maybe scores higher on a different day

Good first half but a little too silly for me by the end

Didn't do much for me. A bit too slow all around

Do you like jazz? If not, then you won't enjoy this

I love this album. No notes.
