Tosh. Pete Doherty killed a man and got away with it to make mediocre jangle pop like this.

Not my cup of tea, although technically pretty accomplished. I wouldn't turn it off, but wouldn't put it on either.

Jack's squeaky, scratchy, high-pitched voice is annoying over this pure indie album descended from gritty punk. Distorted but sparse guitar lines reverberate over simplistic drum beats. Melodic intrigue is added by the use of a keyboard/electric piano/rhodes around the crashing drums and guitars. A couple of slower, folkier, less 'noisy' songs are a welcome respite from the sharp, loud tone across the rest of the album, but Jack's voice doesn't have the same range as say Frank Turner or Dallas Green, and the high-pitched squeaky scratch doesn't carry those songs as beautifully as I would hope. Not really my cup of tea, but I can see why folks like it.

I almost like this. Interesting collaborations, intriguing beats, and a good flow. But I don't. It's just a bit too discordant and noisy, shouty and aggressive, and full of random noises that make it sound a bit weird and over engineered. I did enjoy Flip Flop Rock and The Way You Move, but there were also some self-indulgent, artsy efforts like 'Where Are My Panties' which I don't think add anything of value to the album. Very varied and diverse, but it didn't chime with me, and by the end of the second hour I was just waiting for it to end.

R.E.M.'s debut album. Great basslines and driving drum beats, with guitars twinkling over Stipe's distinctive voice. Sparse verses with louder, busier choruses throughout. Lyrics are basically nonsense, but the melody laid down by the vocals are crucial to the cohesiveness of the tracks. Generally listenable and enjoyable. Musically could have been written yesterday, but mastering and recording gives away its age. I wouldn't be disappointed for someone to put this on at a dinner party, but I wouldn't ask for it myself.

Original version wasn't available, so I'm listening to the 2023 remaster on Apple Music with Dolby Atmos(although I remember listening to a vinyl copy as a young child on my dad's hi-fi). Beautiful vocals underpin a guided tour through a variety of sounds. Where I criticised extraneous noises included in Outkast's album a couple of days ago, they accentuate here a change in track, change in theme, change in tempo, which otherwise is part of a continuous flow from start to end. It also doesn't feel quite as pretentious, just experimental. The segue track between 'Breathe' and 'Time', called 'On the Run' features some vocal samples, some risers, and an arpeggiated synth driving the album forwards, and while clearly being an interstitial piece between the two, it has merit in its own right. An 'album' in the traditional sense, not a collection of tracks, it only works in order. Overall, an absolute masterpiece. No surprise that it is a timeless classic.

I don't remember listening to much Jethro Tull before, rather unusually as I know my Dad had at least this album in among his Pink Floyd, Led Zep, and others. I enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I would. It's not my favourite type of music, but it is definitely better than I expected. Clearly the product of some rather heavy narcotics, but I suppose that's the signature sound of the seventies. Pleasant, tuneful, melodic guitar riffs over folky drums and other instruments as well as folky vocals. Very enjoyable, and a pleasant surprise.

A classic. No wonder the cover has become a staple on T-shirts and other merchandise. Simple, understated punk-inspired riffs and basslines, with Curtis's droning and dissonant vocals layered over the top. Unfortunately this was not the first time I've heard this album, so I didn't have the enviable experience of hearing it for the first time. Fantastic from start to finish.

Very strong start to the album, but the second half is pretty weak. Dre got much better and later albums were more polished, but this album is a bit puerile and silly. Nothing wrong with having a little bit of childish fun, but there's not much of substance on the whole album. It's hard to come up with a fair rating for this album. The first 8 tracks are probably a four overall. Interesting, tuneful, enjoyable, and well produced. The second 8 are probably a one. I've gone for two overall, because overall, I think I'd turn this off before getting to the end.

I Wanna Be Adored is a classic for a reason, and with such a strong opening track, the album is setting itself up for success. Muddy, grimey, madchester indie, that set the stage for bands like Oasis and Blur to dominate the 90s British indie-pop scene. Pleasant to listen to, enjoyable melodies. No dominant instrumentation in the album. Guitars, bass, drums, and vocals all dance around each other, which at times makes it feel... distant? Although it's an interesting listen in and of itself, it also seems like it wouldn't interfere with conversation at a dinner party, and could fade into the background easily. Sounds a bit like the calmer afternoon bits of a rock festival before the evening acts get started.

Pleasant, easy listening, but essentially background noise. I'm surprised to see this considered as one of the top 1001 albums, it doesn't seem to be outstanding in any particular way. I enjoyed this, don't get me wrong, but don't think my life has been enriched by listening to it, and don't think I'll be saving this one for later.

The better known tracks (Human Behaviour, Venus as a Boy) stand out as quirky but interesting pop, while the rest of the record is a bit dancier, and relies on electronic drums and keyboards to push things forwards for the most part. Björk's unique voice with it's huge melodic jumps and quality of sounding like it's permanently about to crack is the key defining feature of the album. Pretty good overall. Not the first time I've heard this, but I enjoyed it.

Interesting electronic vibes to start the album off. Early 90s chill house-y type, and some of the electronic instrumentation sounds a little dated by now, but I'm enjoying it. The album actually finished before I realised it had started. Not bad, but not great either. Probably sounds better when you're smashed on MCAT or something.

So, I know Elvis Presley is... well, Elvis, right? He's called 'The King' for a reason. Problem is that the King is dead, and this album, while probably a perfect fit for its time, is nearly twice as old as I am. I've listened to it so I can cross it off the list, but I won't be going back to it.

I dunno, I never really got into Beastie Boys. Just too much shouting. Nothing about this relisten changed my mind. A lot of people love them, but I just can't wrap my head around it.

Great hip-hop album, Walk this Way and Tricky stand out amongst the rest of the tracks, but are far from being the only ones worth a listen. Interestingly, I found this to be a huge contrast from yesterday's Beastie Boys album, even though many connoisseurs of the genre would mention these acts in the same breath. All in all, pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this.

Movin' On Up is pretty good, although familiar. Same for 'Come Together'. The rest of the album feels a bit... meh. Beats for clubs full of folks taking ecstasy rather than actually well put together songs in their own right. Not bad, but I wouldn't bother going back to this, I don't think.

Meh, not that great. Decent background music, but not particularly fun or interesting for me.

This was better than I expected. Obviously the titular track is particularly well known (and I actually am not a huge fan), and this coloured my view of John Lennon overall. But actually, I enjoyed this in a sort of, pop rock, gentle way. Odd, given the lyrical content, but nevertheless, pretty fun to listen to.

Decent, bluesy, gritty rock. Distortion and basic guitar drive things forward. I enjoyed this, but there are better blues-rock artists out there.

Hm, interesting. I like Sufjan Stevens, but this is a bit... pretentious indie nonsense. A few good tracks, but overall disappointing.

I love Miles Davis, and this album does not disappoint. Somehow loud and quiet at the same time, Davis's brand of discordancy, tension and release, and subtle touches of sonic steering make for a hugely enjoyable 40 minutes. I do feel like they could have taken some of the ideas a bit further, rather than looping and repeating, but what was there was great.

Lots of famous folks on this 'Layla' era album. Fun and open music, with interesting themes that others have built on since. Definitely seminal for modern rock music, this album is lazy summer afternoon tunes. Just pack plenty of beer—the music gets more and more self-indulgent as the needle creeps towards the centre. Good job I like self-indulgent blues guitar solos. Pretty good overall.

Better than I expected. I thought Elton John was boring and irrelevant, but listening to this album has made me interested in listening to more. Not every track is a winner, but they're all well-constructed and pleasant to listen to. A fun blend of rock, pop, prog, and folk.

Funky. But not so funky as to be unlistenable. Fun music, cool beats, energy and chill all together. The album has a really nice structure to it that ebbs and flows through the tracks, thoroughly enjoyable.

Teddy and Linda Thompson lending guest vocals and the medieval cover make it look like this is going to be folk. It isn't. I'm not quite sure what it is. But it's not folk. From a vocals perspective, heavy reliance on long held notes with seemingly poorly controlled vibrato is very reminiscent of Thom Yorke. Movies of Myself could be a B-side to Street Spirit. Even some of the chord changes are the same. It has similar desperation in the vocals, but the drums and instrumentation paint a driving, positive picture. Intriguing.

Overall the album is a bit jingly 70s folk-rock for me (perhaps a bit early for its time). That said, Guinnevere is a stand-out track: absolutely beautiful. Haunting and is a clear ancestor of a lot of the more modern folky singer-songwriter stuff I enjoy. Wooden Ships also has some nice guitar work, I enjoyed it more than the rest of the album.

Fun, but not earth-shattering. 'Soundtrack rock'. A few shallowly explored social commentary pieces (Funny Vibe, Open Letter), but seem a bit... lost in the context of the rest of the album.

It's the Beatles. Never got into them, never really found them as ground-breaking as everyone else seems to. It's fine, but won't be going back to this.

Fantastic album. Great guitar work, great songs. Young's voice is an acquired taste, but once you get used to it, it really adds to the story-telling in his music.

This was not great. Boring and uninspired. I wondered if there was something I wasn't getting and checked others' reviews of this, and discovered that indeed, there was, but nothing musical. However, Marianne Faithfull's life story unfortunately doesn't make her music better. Not unlistenable to be fair, but the Deluxe Version on Apple Music seems to have the same tracks twice, and I'm just not masochistic enough to let the second mastering play through, even if they're somehow better.

What can I say, it's Van Halen. Although it's a lot more accessible than I thought it would be, fundamentally it's a half hour of technical guitar solos. I think in this case, function follows form, and some of the songs themselves are a bit... emotionless? The Kinks cover in particular seemed weak compared to the original. Fun to listen to on the whole though, and Ain't Talking 'Bout Love is a masterpiece.

Experimental loud noisiness. I love a bit of punk but this was too much for me. There were a few bits I likes, some social commentary and a few more interesting songs, but on balance, not an experience I would want to have again.

Always had a bit of a soft spot for Abba. There are some superbly produced pop songs on this album. I enjoyed being 'allowed' to indulge a guilty pleasure as part of this 1001 Albums.

Not bad. I thought I didn't like Amy Winehouse very much, but this album was a pleasant surprise. I'll explore her back catalogue a bit I think.

Unfortunately, for some reason Apple Music has Alison, Red Shoes, and Watching the Detectives blocked in my location. Fortunately, I know those pretty well already, and it gave me an opportunity to listen to the 'worse' 80% of the album... and it's still pretty great. Love it.

Pretty decent generic American folky-bluesy rock. I definitely don't dislike it, but it doesn't stand out in its genre, and could be essentially the complete backing track to Almost Famous—great film, but music shouldn't be in its element as backing for some other art form.

Dark, dreary. No really distinctive tracks, but a whole mood. Loved it.

Not bad, but then autoplay kicked in and I didn't realise that the artist had changed. So I guess not that good either?

Great classic Neil Young. Really enjoyed the vibe and Young’s vocals are always something that I like, even if they’re not for everyone.

Great album. Lots of energy and fun music. Britpop at its finest.

Meh, fine. I liked Whispering Pines a lot, a bit Neil Young-y, but otherwise a bit boring.

Hard to listen to. Noisy and aggressive and gets in your ears. Blood pressure has gone up and heart rate is high. Absolutely loved it. And this came out in 1994? Way ahead of its time.

Not bad. Bit boring, but actually better than I expected given my general dislike of Beatle-y stuff.

I like it. A bit jangly and indie, but overall, pretty good, and enjoyable background music. Not an all-time favourite, but definitely a fun listen.

Utter madness. Crazy lyrics, self-indulgent bluesy jam sessions poured into your ears. Nice.

Depeche Mode at their absolute finest. This album came out in 1990 and it set the scene for the next 25 years of electronic music. Oh and this was already their SEVENTH.

Ahhhhh, something a bit chilled. I actually prefer a bit of trumpet or sax in my jazz otherwise it becomes a bit muzak-y. There's also always something a bit special about a well-performed live recording. Hats off. Some super spicy bass work as well.

Not bad, but got fairly boring in the second half of the album. I wouldn't turn it off, but I wouldn't pick it out and put it on either.

Genre-defining. Great voice, beautifully constructed songs. Easy listening, but without being boring, the hard-hitting lyrics are almost masked by the softness of Gaye's voice. A stand-out album.

Tosh. Pete Doherty killed a man and got away with it to make mediocre jangle pop like this.

Yeah, not bad. Never really got into Grateful Dead, and this album doesn't change my feelings about them.

Decent, I liked it. Not life-changingly good, but a decent bit of 80s pop.

Absolutely love it. Memories of my Dad's old Panasonic stereo on a Sunday afternoon when mum was out. I don't think it's just nostalgia though, there's a foreboding tone that runs through the whole album which I think comes from the tone of the keyboard along with Morrison's voice. A lot of negative sentiment around The Doors being primarily a masturbatory vehicle for Morrison, which I can see. The End in particular is... well, long, meandering, and thoroughly odd. But the music evokes something in me. Fear, or excitement, I'm not sure. And that for me makes this worth a five.

Not bad. Electropop fun. I would listen again.

Fun but nothing to me that really stood out as exceptional. I can see how they became an influence to bands that followed, but I wouldn't bother listening to this again.

Interesting, ambient, loud in parts, quiet in others. Sounds like the soundtrack to a not-too-exciting film where the protagonist goes through a few negative events and then 'finds himself' before the camera zooms out and we close with him standing on a beach looking out to sea with the wind blowing through his hair.

Pretentious attempt to make tango into jazz. That said, not bad, I quite enjoyed it as background music while I worked.

Occupying the space between punk and grunge, this was super enjoyable to listen to. No single track stood out as exceptional, but as an album ,the whole thing works really well.

Interesting to hear this album, but feels a bit like listening to Jim Steinman rather than Meatloaf. The songwriting is very strong, and if so many songs weren't more famous sung by someone else, then I think it would be excellent. As it is, it's just good.

I liked it better than I thought I would. Never really got into ZZ Top, but it's a bit of fun. Didn't feel like it was trying to break any new ground, but also didn't feel like that was the point. Hats off to them for choosing what they wanted to do and then doing it well.

Not great. Like he was under contract with the label to produce another one and started writing nonsense songs just to get out of it. Musically decent, if fairly boring. Not for me, although not actually offensive to my ears.

This isn't the first time I've heard this. Brilliant album, great vocalist, excellent musically. Love it.

I liked this a lot. My wife did not. I think that's probably a pretty reasonable summary—it's noisy but I like the beats and sampling. I can see it being a very divisive listen though, and probably wouldn't put this on for others.

Obviously, a few very famous tracks on here. Quintessential pop. I particularly liked Witness, but overall, there weren't any flops. A few 'late album' tracks lacking inspiration, but nothing unlistenable. I liked it overall.

It was fine as background noise. Did not love it, but did not hate it. Overall, not bad.

Love Manu Chao, great memories and great music.

A bit weird for me. Not dreadful, just not really my thing and didn't really speak to me.

A bit less loud and shouty, I enjoyed this a bit more than the previvous Beastie Boys albums. Still not my favourite, but a bit better.

Great record. Lots of fun, Nile Rogers-y stuff. I enjoyed.

Not on Apple Music, but the full album is available on YouTube. One of the few albums I've really disliked since starting this. Sorry Dagmar, I'm sure it appeals to some folks.

Pretty decent, noisy and grumpy but enjoyable. Dissonant in a positive way.

Pretty good. Midwest Emo before that was a thing. Not convinced about the vocals though, which (for me) just grate, and aren't really an enjoyable part of the soundscape.

'Scarborough' is not pronounced the same way as 'scar borrow'. Other than that, a bit plain and uninspired for me, not horrible or nasty, but it doesn't make me feel anything, and I feel like it should. On the plus side it's very short.

I love the Smiths. A few great tracks on here. Very good album, rivals 'The Queen Is Dead'.

Not my favourite type of music, but overall I enjoyed this.

It was better than I expected, but not by much.

Not earth-shattering, but enjoyable, and Iggy's vocals are interesting and unconventional. Musically, Bowie's influence is clear, and I don't think 'that sounds like Bowie' has ever been used as a criticism.

I quite liked this. It's not aged particularly well, but I enjoyed it anyway, and would happily listen to this again any time.

Not a huge fan of Beck, I find them a bit pretentious and boring, but this was listenable.

I dunno... first this was not on Apple Music so I had to play around and make my own playlist of the album from YouTube and what was there. But I wish I hadn't bothered because it wasn't very good.

Noisy and boring for me, but better than I expected given previous experiences with Pavement.

Good noise. Angry and loud. Almost too much so, but good for the right mood.

I like Radiohead, and this album is no exception. But I think this is the beginning of Radiohead's decline from greatness. Still worth listening to, but there's a certain... drudgery of going from one song to the next, downbeat, complex musical soundscapes overlaid by Thom Yorke's insistent and unmistakable vocals. All in all, a good album, but feels like a collection of a great band's post-greatness B sides (which, as I understand, is a fairly accurate summary of what it is).

Not my cup of tea, although technically pretty accomplished. I wouldn't turn it off, but wouldn't put it on either.

Enjoyable. Nice vocals, compelling compositions. I particularly enjoyed the guitar work on Tall in the Saddle, turns out it's Jerry Donahue, who was lead guitarist of Fairport Convention after Richard Thompson.

What the fuck did I just listen to?

Fun, bouncy. Nothing that stands out, but a solid hour of enjoyable riffs. Would be nice to have some more pleasant vocals to offset the constant growl, but I liked it overall.

Enjoyable, although not outstanding. Even though I liked it, I am not sure why this is a 'must listen'. There's nothing particularly ground-breaking in there, although there's some decent music and well-put together songs.

Great collection of well put together tracks. Really enjoyed listening to this in its entirety, and would happily listen again.

Loved it. Great poetry, great vibe, beautiful music.

Barely noticed that this was even playing.

Don't really know what to say on this. It's fine, I guess. Not really my scene, and I can't understand whose scene it would actually be. It feels like I'd only ever put this on as a joke. That said, it's a pretty well-executed joke.

This was great. Lots of energy, lots of punky noises, but also somehow not as loud and abrasive as a lot of other punky stuff I like. I could listen to this over and over and not get bored.

Layyy-laaaaaaa, you got me on my knees, Layy-laaaaaaaaaaa, I'm beggin' darlin' please

Never really got into Dylan, but I enjoyed this.

I love the chilled-but-tense feel that Massive Attack put in their music. Great album. The problem is that Mezzanine is so much better, so I can't give this a five...

I like this. Pretty experimental, but most of the experiments seem to have been successful.

I like Nora Jones's vocals, chilled, uplifting. Positive dinner party music.

A bit too weird for me.

Yeah, fine. Not bad, not particularly good. Listenable, but fairly middle of the road, and not much better than that.

Blondie, what's not to like!

Not very good, I'm afraid. Not sure what this is doing here.

I liked this, but not enough to go out and listen to more... Also, can't help feeling there's something a bit... voyeuristic? Exploitative? Colonialist? about sticking Ginger Baker's name on the cover in as big a font as Fela Kuti's.

Yeah not bad. Interesting guitar work, but not really my style.

Love me some Neil Young. More like this please!

I like the Police, but would not consider myself a 'fan'. Nothing really new for me on this album, I knew (and like) all the tracks.

I loved this album when it first came out, and still love it now. Full of emotion, desperation... just a brilliant album altogether. Orton's voice is fantastic and the whole album just sits together beautifully.

Yeah, nice jazz, but not 'Kind of Blue'.

The vocals are too nasal and whiny for me, and something just seems a bit... empty? White Stripes have always felt a bit Emperor's New Clothes-y to me, this audition didn't change that for me.

I sort of like the Rolling Stones, but I dunno, this one didn't land with me.

Guess you had to be there.

Great showcase of vocal talent, but not coherent as an album and not particularly exciting for me musically. Amazing voice though!

I thought this was pretty good. I'm not normally a fan of hip-hop, but this was pleasing to my ears.

I'm a bit torn on this one. On the one hand, I don't like it and I think it's trash, kids playing at punk rock. But then it's Green Day, and they've got their stripes, so I dunno. Musically, it's a bit bland and overplayed, but also fun and listenable. Man I dunno. I'm gonna give it a four.

Pulp are an interesting band. I like them, but I'm not really sure why. I always feel like it's generic indie-pop with nothing special going for it, but I can't *quite* dismiss it.

I guess it's here for a reason, just sounds like generic old time pop to me I'm afraid. Nice, but not something I'll look out again.

Feels like I wasted 3 hours on this album, but turns out it was only 1h18m. Absolutely unnecessary.

Self-indulgent musical masturbation and I'm completely here for it. Brilliant.

I do like a bit of Radiohead, and they had one more good album in them before they lost the plot. Kid A is a solid effort, but it's not OK Computer, and it's not The Bends.

I never really got into the Chilis. Still don't love them, but no special reason why. It's a pretty accomplished album, just doesn't do it for me.

I like Bowie. This is no exception. Short, cocaine-fuelled fun. What's not to like?

Lovely summer vibes, a little bit sterile for some reason, but a fun album nevertheless.

Loud and angry, good fun. Unrefined and not very musical. At the edge of my tastes with regards to dissonant vocals, but I enjoyed it.

Great album. Uncomplicated, simple, but also complex and deep. Enjoyed this a lot.

Not really my thing, but very well done even so.

Dolly Parton is a great singer, and this is a well put together album of good country songs. Not my favourite genre, but I'd put this on again.

Great voice, good song selection. Fades into the background nicely.

Decent grungey album, but plays a clear second fiddle to Nirvana in the same space.

Outstanding album. Shows a band maturing from Pablo, Honey, and moving towards their peak on OK Computer. But if OK Computer is Everest, this is K2.

This was more fun than I expected :)

So many LZ hits. Great album.

Never really got into Sabbath, but this is decent. Shows an interesting, more refined side of the band that I wasn't previously aware of.

An artifact of its time, but it's good memories and positive vibes. I'd listen to this again.

The Shamen... ah a long repressed memory. Nothing about this album is outstanding, but it's part of a longer story about 90s dance music, and deserves its place.

Decent background electronic music.

This is fine. Neutral background music. Expertly done, minimally challenging.

A bit disappointing. I like the Doors, but this is a relatively weak effort, formulaic and nothing particularly outstanding. Still fun to listen to, but just lacking the wow factor of (e.g. L.A. Woman)

Actually I liked this. Weird. Wasn't sure what it was at first. It's not really anything. Just a collection of sounds arranged musically. But still. I felt like I was able to get a lot of work done with this on in the background.

Meh, boring pop. Not BAD, just bland.

Odd. Not my cup of tea.

Not really sure about this. Hard to reconcile what was actually quite an interesting and artistically meritorious album with the route that Kanye has gone. Feels like sipping tea while watching the mushroom cloud grow.

I like the Kinks. This was fun. Smart and well constructed. Will definitely be listening again.

Beautifully put together. Maybe my nostalgia is giving this five stars rather than its actual musical merit.

Some folks will say that Bleach was Nirvana's best album. Bleach was good, but abrasive and unrefined. Nevermind polishes off the edges and moves from barely-corralled noise into actual music. Fantastic, varied, and loud.

Never loved Queen. This album didn't really change my mind, I'm afraid. Not bad, but didn't start a fire in my heart either.

Yeah, pretty decent. Not my favourite, but heard worse.

Nice, well put together. Musically intelligent and accomplished, but sounds a bit manufactured. Enjoyable though, and will listen again.

I don't know what I was expecting. The album title explains exactly what you're in for and they deliver beautifully. A history lesson intertwined with many (MANY) mentions of Lynyrd Skynryd, all set to a country-rock backdrop. I actually really enjoyed this one.

Absolutely brilliant.

Meh, boring pop. Not ABBA's best, and ABBA aren't the best.

Good, fun, fast paced metal. A bit samey, and glad it's over after 40 minutes, but it's good for that long.

Better than I expected, but not as good as the hype.

Glam rock at its most stereotypical. Not my cup of tea.

Oh god, the only version which isn't remixes I could find is like 5 hours long. So I only listened to disk 1. I liked it though, reminds me of the background music at a coffee shop that thinks it's trendier than it really is. Impressive for 1997, and has not really aged in the 25 years since it came out apart from DnB being a bit of an aging genre.

It's the Velvet Underground & Nico. Absolutely iconic. Buuuut a little boring, actually.

Ah man I want to love it, but I just don't. It's good, it's genre-defining, it's fun... I just don't love it.

Decent jazz. I liked it. Great sax work, which as I understand was actually Stanley Turrentine, not Jimmy Smith.

Meh, smells like Wu-Tang spin-off. Nothing special going on here.

Jefferson Airplane are pretty good dad rock.

Boring. Never liked G'n'R, and this did not change my mind.

Mostly found this boring, I'm afraid.

Found this less annoying than I expected after years of finding Smashing Pumpkins annoying. Not my favourite, but no longer feel like I’d skip them.

Erm, what was this?

Actually I enjoyed this more than I thought I would. I didn't get on too well with Radiohead through their Kid A/Amnesiac period and so slept on this.

I like a lot of metal, but never got into Metallica. I wouldn't even say that I went into this open-minded, I was actively trying to like it, but I just didn't. Maybe that says more about me than Metallica though. Not so bad I'd turn it off, but I just can't get excited about it.

Rubbish. Didn't even notice it had stopped.

Beautifully done, but not really my thing. Another one I wouldn't turn off if it came on, but won't be seeking out again.

Now that was cool. Really enjoyed this one.

I thought I didn't like Rod Stewart but I was wrong. This was good.

Better than I remember it. I always got a bit turned off by Korn. Not sure exactly why, but it just seemed a bit... silly? But having listened to this whole album, it seems that was primarily fueled by the breakdown in Freak on a Leash. Pretty good after all. Glad this came up.

Come on Eileen dragged out over a whole LP.
