I feel like every song on this album would kill at a campfire.

I love the different layers to each track, despite relatively straightforward beats and easy lyrics the songs have so many elements to them that build upon each other. The album is also a real influence on the Persona 5, which has one of the best modern video game scores.

I remember being a child listening to the song "Tusk" and having my mind blown by the marching band and how huge the song felt. The song still rocks, but the rest of the album isn't as fun.

I like the John Cale influence and the layered acoustic songs.

Very meh.

I respect how much they love movies, and I love how killing me softly with this song then become a major plot point in About a Boy 5 years later. Some great tracks/covers but a little inconsistent.

Even less articulate than normal, Dylan is not for me.

Unobjectionable but not interesting.

More my thing than Dylan, but not my thing.

I was left expecting more to be honest. A single good song doesn't make a great album.

Despite British Indie of the 00’s as my preteen/teenage jam, I never really enjoyed the Arctic Monkeys that much compared to their contemporaries.

Perfect album and opening track to wake up to.

Dad rock in its most concentrated form.

Not my favourite Bowie album, but still a good album with no bad tracks.

Nostalgia glasses for middle school and high school party tracks.

An album I have listened to probably 50 times. It’s wonderful.

I am finding more and more that interesting albums from the 90/00’s feel played out in the 2020s but think it’s because they have been rung out and squeezed of all novelty by the imitators.

A masterpiece that got me more into music as a teen.

We have Oasis at home.

Not as good as the Smiths.

Really shows you that nerds could be hot, cool and good at music if they put their heart into it.

I enjoy hearing how much fun everyone seems to be having playing these songs.

I listened to Come on Eileen at least a 100 times as a running playlist song, glad to know I wasn’t missing out on too much by just listening to that track.

Can’t take Bono or U2 seriously after 20 years of them being a stand-in punch line for well meaning but naive liberal interventionism.

One of my favourite albums of all time. I love the chill vibes

Rarely have my expectations for an album and the album itself been so out of sync. It feels tame and almost quaint for an album called black sabbath.

I feel like every song on this album would kill at a campfire.

Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young are Dad Rock: 201

It feels like a rough draft to the punk/pop-punk I enjoy listening to.

Given how repetitive and fast paced the songs are I found this a good album to work to. Not sure if that is the intention of the album

One awesome song does not make a good album.

One of the most pleasant afternoons of my life was spent listening to this album and then Arthur while taking a walk between small English towns through farmer’s fields.

Least favourite Velvet Underground album by far, feels like listening to a caged bird.

A personal top 10. Love this album so much.

Didn’t love the album, but there is a reason why “Hey Ya” has 1.4 billion streams on Spotify alone.

Need a lot more context to make this work. Really made me think about grad school though.

50 years later the same issues are largely unaddressed in America, it’s a great album even if I’m not going re listen.

Not my thing but I get it.

I listened to Beatles 1 probably 100 times as a pre-teen in my dad's car so the early Beatles were imprinted on my brain. Between the nostalgia of childhood summers, the great movie, A Hard Day's Night, and Can't Buy Me Love this is an easy 5.

I would like it a lot more if it was just an instrumental beats album or it was paired with something more engaging.

The album is pretty good despite the burden of containing some of the most overplayed songs by the least cool Gen Xers for the past 3 decades.

I don't get it.

I have listened to this album probably 100 times. The unofficial soundtrack to my doctorate. I always get the opening of 1/1 and Gymnopedie No 1. Mixed up in my head. This album is my personality.

This is 100% what every white person over 45 thinks hip hop is.

He is the king for a reason

Peak personal nostalgia. The indie rock-dance hybrid has helped it age better than its contemporaries.

Real big “oh it’s that song” from this album.

Love the chill vibes of Steely Dan, nothing is out of place. Deacon Blues is my favourite track for capturing the feeling of ma before or after a party or night out.

The movie is so much more interesting than the album which is so disappointing.

That's what I call human music volume 3

Mentally ill nazi now so did not listen but it was very good
