FOUR OUTSTANDING SONGS EXCLUDING SLEDGEHAMMER AND BIG TIME. IN YOUR EYES RED RAIN HEAR THAT VOICE AGAIN DON'T GIVE UP
3 stars
Excellent debut
Good
4 stars
Not an easy listen. Probably lives up to its accolades but requires multiple listens and I'm not willing given the 1000 other albums I have to hear.
Not good.
That was surprising. Enjoyed it.
Ok
3-stars
Steely Dan's most consistent album.
That was surprising.
Good.
Not particularly enjoyable. The definition of vanilla.
Not my cup of java.
Enjoyable. Never really listened to Beck before.
I guess I'm not a punk fan. Why is anybody?
Not bad.
God. There I said it.
Didn't quite get it.
I just don't get reggae.
Wore me down. Really began to enjoy this after a second listening.
Do the hair bands represent the nadir of good music? This album makes a strong case for such proposition.
I've been told that this is the Revolver, the Beggar's Banquet, the Who's Next, the Led Zeppelin IV of heavy metal. I don't see it.
To give a love You've gotta live a love I really need a maid.
I can't give anything David Byrne does a 1, but I was really tempted.
So good.
Lost the Grammy to Whitney Houston's The Bodyguard. That alone makes this a 5.
I've seriously listened to music since 1971 but never listened to this album and never been much of a Hendrix fan. Now that I've listened to Electric Ladyland I'm happy I made both decisions 53 years ago.
What a great album. Who knew?
I really don't like Metallica. I kinda wish I did given the reviews of people whose tastes I respect. Sadly, after And Justice for All finished, Spotify played Would? by Alice In Chains and I thought to myself "Finally."
Surprise.
BUNK.
I didn't think the Love Boat theme could serve as a template for an entire album. I guess I should never underestimate the inventiveness of true artists.
I always found this album to be the definition of ponderous. I prefer their pop efforts with a touch of pondering; y'know, like Eat a Peach or their first album.
Assuming the lead vocalist is the principal songwriter, this album clearly shows how much better John Lennon was than Paul McCartney as a songwriter/artist. Back in the USSR, Blackbird, I Will (sorta), Mother Nature’s Son, Helter Skelter, were good but the rest of McCartney’s compositions were pap. Compare his output to Dear Prudence, Glass Onion, Happiness Is a Warm Gun, I’m So Tired, Yer Blues, Everybody’s Got Something to Hide, Sexy Sadie, and Revolution 1, and it’s no contest. McCartney was good at novelty and a catchy tune and that added to the Beatles popularity and influence. But Lennon made the Beatles transcendent. Even the two song where Lennon and McCartney share lead vocals – both of which are very good – Birthday [McCartney with Lennon] and Cry Baby Cry [Lennon with McCartney] reveal Lennon’s superior talent. Hell, on this album Harrison’s contributions were more significant than McCartney’s.
Metal tolerance exceeded. Chelation, please.
I used to be ambivalent about Nick Cave. Now I hate him. Four albums? Pardon me while I blow my brains out.
Jeeze that was good. First 5 I've given to an album that I knew absolutely nothing about.
Perfection? Sure.
Average rating: 2.85 (0.35 below global average).
Album origins are grouped into three buckets: US, UK, and everything else. “Other” means the artists you rate highest are from outside the US and UK.
