Sheep. They’re everywhere. Those woolly, innocent-looking creatures, just grazing in fields, but don't be fooled. They’re not as harmless as they appear. Oh no, they’re watching us, I tell you! Have you ever looked into their eyes? There’s something there, something sinister. They communicate in ways we can’t even comprehend, plotting and scheming while pretending to be these docile animals. Think about it. Why are there so many of them? They outnumber us, and yet we think we’re in control. We shear their wool, milk them, and even eat them, but that’s exactly what they want us to think. It’s all part of their grand plan. They’ve infiltrated our farms, our petting zoos, and our storybooks. The sheep are everywhere, silently biding their time. And then there's their leader. You know the one, that black sheep. The one that stands out, the one that doesn’t follow the herd. That’s the mastermind. It’s coordinating the others, sending signals through those eerie bleats. It’s no coincidence that when you see a black sheep, something goes wrong. They’re the overseers, making sure everything goes according to their secret agenda. Remember that nursery rhyme? “Baa Baa Black Sheep, have you any wool?” It’s a code. It’s been right there in front of us all along. Those aren’t just words; they’re instructions. The black sheep, the wool, it’s all symbolic. The sheep have been whispering their plans to us since we were children, and we didn’t even notice. And the way they move in unison, like they’re controlled by some hive mind. Have you ever seen a flock of sheep being herded? It’s like watching a well-oiled machine. They know exactly where to go, what to do. They’re training, practicing for the day they rise up. And those sheepdogs? They’re not herding the sheep; they’re working with them, keeping them in line, making sure they don’t give away too much. They've got us all out of step, just like the song says. We think we’re the ones out of step, struggling against the system, but it’s the sheep that have us dancing to their tune. “I can’t keep up, out of step with the world,” Minor Threat sang, and maybe they were onto something. The sheep have us out of step, out of sync with reality, making us believe we’re the odd ones out, the misfits, while they march in perfect formation, slowly tightening their woolly grip. And those sheep hybrids you hear about? Dolly the sheep? A clone! They’ve cracked the code of genetics. They’re experimenting, trying to create the perfect sheep, the ultimate overseer. We think we’re cloning them, but what if they’re cloning us? Creating perfect human-sheep hybrids to infiltrate our society. We could be living among them right now! Stay vigilant. The sheep are not what they seem. They’re out there, watching, waiting. And when the time comes, they’ll make their move. You’ll see. You’ll all see. Baa, baa, black sheep, indeed. They’ve got us out of step, and it’s time we started marching to our own beat, breaking free from their woolly chains.

started off rough with the songs sounding way too similar, more variation toward the end which made the songs much more enjoyable

easy 5 stars. Neil Peart stands alone

ehh...it was fine

interesting listen

Solid album

this album grew on me as it went on. it was some interesting musical elements but i think the songs tend overstay their welcome. i think they could really benefit from cutting the length of some of the songs

its fast and loud just like a classic punk album should be. easy 5 stars

very cool musical ideas

interesting grunge pop album

Solid album

i wanted to like this album. she has a great voice and most of the beats are awesome. the album just drags on for entirely too long and so i found myself counting down how many songs i had left which is never a good sign. the combination of the length and the overbearingly preachy lyrics made this feel like more of a chore than anything else. my assumption is someone told her that cds could fit 80 minutes and she was miseducated enough to think that meant the album had to be that long.

when i first heard this album back in high school i didnt like it. i appreciated the skill with which Jimi played but really only came away liking "Crosstown Traffic". listening again so many years later, im much more impressed by how everything comes together. its still not something id want to listen to all the time but i wouldnt mind throwing it on every now and then.

just like watergate some of these songs should've stayed clandestine, but somehow were made public anyway

very theatrical and over the top while some feeling underwhelming

There are so many things I'd like to say about this album. In fact, that its taken me 5 months and 100 other albums to finally sit down and begin typing out my thoughts. As I sat down and began waxing poetic on each song—its instrumentation, lyrics, and place in the album’s overarching narrative—I realized that what I really wanted to convey was how much I absolutely love this album. So while this may not be the ten-thousand-word thesis I initially set out to write, the core message remains the same: this is one of my favorite albums.

probably my favorite Metallica album

this album is aptly named as listening to it felt like a bad dream. i actually liked the majority of this album but it suffers a good bit due to the length. there were some cool musical ideas presented but most of the songs meandered far too long and there was one or two weaker songs that should've been cut completely. ultimately this causes what otherwise wouldve been a nice listening experience to feel like a slog

the inside scoop is that he named the album truth because verisimilitude was too hard to pronounce

overall this album was great but the 71 minute runtime really works against it. if they Disintegrated a few minutes off of each track it'd be a much better album.

not the Beck album i wouldve chosen for the list(Guero) but an interesting listen nonetheless

liked this more than i expected to

this isnt something id normally listen to so it really surprised me how much i liked it

he had a great voice but this album was terrible

this album isn't good enough to be so incredibly long

i understand why it was so popular but it's not for me

a bit repetitive but still a great album

good background music but not something id actively listen to

wow, this was not what i was expecting. this album is fantastic! my only complaint is the length of the album but they managed to keep it interesting the entire time so i can overlook it

entertaining album

solid live album

could've dropped one or two of the weaker tracks but otherwise great album

bland

better than it has any right to be

theres some cool stuff in here. im rating this based on the first 8 tracks which was all that was on the original album. the last 4 tracks were added on the cd version of the album and were far and away the worst tracks on the album. if i had to include those my rating would drop to a 2 due to how incredibly annoying they were.

This was awful. Sonically there was some cool ideas but it was brought down by the incessant droning that they tried to pass off as singing. The few times there was an attempt at singing may have been even worse than the talking. Not even autotune could help this guy

virtually unlistenable; not a single good track on the album.

not my style but it was fine

great instrumentals

a couple of great tracks sprinkled in among some ok tracks

this drags on for way longer than it should and the incredibly slow tempo makes it feel even longer

before listening i honestly expected to hate this but it turned out to be really great

another album that would benefit from trimming it by 20 minutes, decent background music though

the opening song was incredible and followed immediately by some of Elton's most popular tracks. the rest of the songs are good but they fall a little flat in comparison

wow, this certainly was one of the albums of all time. it had some tracks with great instrumentation and overall i thought the production was well done. despite that, i found myself counting down the seconds with over half an hour left in the runtime. the extended length makes the album feel like incredibly bloated mess full of half baked ideas. the genre feels like arcade fire covering bob dylan, which is another way to say that this may be the least listenable genres around. the thought of having to ever hear another song by Sufjan makes me physically ill and i pray that no more of his albums are on the list so i dont have to hear anymore of this hipster garbage.

my fifth album in the crosby/stills/nash/young extended universe. as with the others i dont have much to say in the way of compliments or complaints. its extremely bland but its an easy listen given the short runtime. hopefully I dont have too many of these left on the list

there are some really incredible tracks on here but the overall experience is pulled down by the presence of some not so great tracks. it was still an enjoyable listen

wow this one is unique. certainly not like anything id normally listen to

adele is a great singer, unfortunately that doesnt always translate to being someone who makes great music.

im doing a list of 500 essential pop punk albums and this album is on that list as well. to be honest im not sure this album should be on either list. i dont really have many complaints, this was fine as background music but i preferred their self-titled album that came out right before this one.

we just had another album by the band a month ago. i liked this one more but it's still not great.

this was interesting. two solo albums smashed together under the outkast brand. both were enjoyable but the format really detracted here. the transition between big boi's album and andre's album was jarring even though i knew to expect it. it was also incredibly long, coming in at just under 2 hours 15 minutes.

i really enjoyed the majority of this album. the instrumentation is on point and the sound quality is good. that said, the song "lost someone" perfectly encapsulates what i hate about live albums. they took a 3 minute track and stretched it out to 10 minutes by repeating the same motif over and over while James rambles and provokes the audience to scream and shout. with the exception of that track and the medley that immediately follows it, the crowd noise isn't too bad but those two tracks really brought down the rating for me.

i liked this way more than i expected
