The Modern Dance
Pere UbuI had to listen to this and drive like jehu back to back and robert wyatt oy 2 days before. Someone is messing with me. Give me my time back. Just cause it's different, doesn't make or good.

Much more boring than I thought it would be.
All the stars. No bad songs. Nearly perfect album. Although the titular song should be the opener
I don't really care for Neil young that much. But I liked the way this album started out. But then the middle and end was a return to form. No thanks.
Better than I thought
I appreciate it but I found it boring
It was fine
Good album
Love this album
A nice album. A little sleepy. I respect it but wouldn't listen again
Too hokey. Couldn't finish it
Pretty good
I like the Beatles but I'm not as fond of the white album. It always feels scattered to me. A collection of good songs but no cohesion
It was a nice relaxing listen.
Oh man. That's way too much David Byrne in 1 dose for me.
It was fine. The album sounded very similar. Could be fun to drink to outside. Would be fun to see live.
Awesome. Pure 90s dance music.
Enjoyed the chaos and aggression. A full album was a lot without drinking along
I feel like this type of album is better done by others.
A good album. Some seminal songs present. All sounded very similar though if not paying close attention
A great guitar rock album
Nice early rock
Definitely some good songs and enjoyable but I dont think I'd revisit it
Awesome album. Myself and a coworker were blown away. Some hits we didn't know he sang. Some really good songs
Really enjoyed that album, start to finish. Makes me want some straight tequila
The meandering weirdness of rush amd geddy lee.
Such a rich and pleasant surprise
The hits on the album are great. The other few songs are incredibly slow and boring
Decent. I like her other albums better
A good album. Some hits. Stayed entertaining the whole time
Entertaining. A bit monotonous. Kinda doubt this is one of the 1000 best albums ever made.
Good in a small dose.
I appreciate it coming out of nowhere and all the prog rock it led to. But I don't really like prog rock. Points for originality. Deductions for enjoyment.
I didn't think of it. But it's importance to rock music and culture is obvious.
Hated it. HATE. Some cool beats I guess. But I don't like disco. At least I know they're whispering chic in those songs
Pretty good. A little somber and slow, which is what they're known for, but still...
A tough listen. Appreciate their pioneering spirit though
Good early rocker. Goes on too long, though
Oooohhh, yoshimi. A beautiful and very weird concept album I've known for many years. Nice to see it on here.
I like the doors. Always have. But I don't think this is one of the best albums ever
Was done better by bowie. This isn't be one of the best albums ever.
Good tunes. I don't like his voice though. Wrong voice for the songs.
Starts really strong and fades really hard. Can't be one of the best albums ever
Well made but monotonous
I'm sure if I played an instrument i would appreciate this noise. But I don't. And I didn't like it.
Decent. I like this album but it's a bit monotone. The strong songs stand out.
An interesting late 90s electronic time capsule
Pretty good. Reminds me of the 90s
A solid blues offering
Really good. And I don't like jazz
I mean...I'm fine with this existing. It's good for lots of different music to exist. But I'm not sure who's donating the money for it to be made. I suppose there was a plan for these "songs", but it really sounds like noise, for the most part. If it's on in the background, you might not go crazy. If you're listening to it on headphones while focusing on the music. You could either occupy a transcendent deity state or decide it's best to murder everyone around you and burn down the building you occupy. I'll never listen to this again but I will recommend it to people as some sort of listening feat, in the same I'd ask someone to taste something that tastes bad but is both singular in it's taste.
Quality 70s rock
As entertaining as it is crass
Nice composition. Immediately forgettable.
Terrible noise. I don't care who ot influenced.
I was surprised how much I did not enjoy most of this album
Pleasant.
Very cool. Very 9ps. Great to work to
Short and to the point quality
I had to listen to this and drive like jehu back to back and robert wyatt oy 2 days before. Someone is messing with me. Give me my time back. Just cause it's different, doesn't make or good.
Fine. Very 90s
Very entertaining. Today's rap could learn a thing or two
Fine. Lots of hits. Not really my thing
A good 90s album. You can hear what comes after it
Fine. Which is how everyone feels about this album.
Interesting. Different. 2 thumbs up.
The hits are good. The rest is fine
Totally forgettable
Really liked the beginning but it slowed down and became monotonous
Obviously very good. But they have better albums.
Very good. Better than their newer stuff
Ok. Good beats for '81.
Almost a 5. Very good
I understand this is possibly the best hardcore album ever. But for the uninitiated, listening to it sucks.
So boring. I almost fell asleep
Tons of fun. If you don't find yourself tapping your foot, check your pulse
It was fine. It's hard to go back to that time for these types of albums
What is so great about this.
It was fine.
I don't really have an reference for this. And it's a soundtrack.
Well, not boring. Songs are very different. I appreciate all the variation. I'll probably never return to this album or ever think of it again.
Much more boring than I thought it would be.
Michael's got a great voice. And the hits are great. But I otherwise thought it was pretty forgettable. Maybe my expectations were too high
Pretty good metal. Some standouts but a bit all of thr same
I don't think this is a bad album. But what is great about it? Maybe because I'm not a musician. It was fine. I'll never think of it again.
Pretty decent. Early marker for that type of electronica. Fairly repetitive.
Very cool
Great music and tunes. The hits are masterpieces. I can't get past jaggers voice on half the songs though. It's sacrelig, but a lot of stones songs would be better with another vocalist
Definitely ahead of its time
Good. Not their best. A but repetitive. I'm not sure it's one of the best albums ever. I did enjoy it though
Good music. Especially for the time. I don't love concept albums or rock operas or whatever usually. Just seemed unnecessary
The hits are very good. They seem to be of two minds here. Some neat progressive modern harmonic songs intermixed with more dated sounded bubblegum hymnal type music
Another British concept album to deal with. I like the kinks but this was a solid 3 for me.
All the stars. No bad songs. Nearly perfect album. Although the titular song should be the opener
Very good. Lush and unique soundscapes.
A mix of Americana and weird carney back alley music. Waits is a singular creature. I don't think I'll revisit this but I'm glad it exists.
Really strong ambient electronic breeze. It's 25 years old but could be made today. The end of the album flames out a bit compared to the first half.
Not bad. Maybe punk for people who don't like punk. A bit like the talking heads.
I really didn't like this album. I don't know what's so good about it. I had to look up why it was a good album and even then couldnt get many answers. I will say that the songs were different from one to the next which can be hard to find on this list. But I didn't enjoy my experience.
You can hear what he's influenced all over the place. An artists artist and clearly groundbreaking stuff. But other than 1 or 2 songs...I just didn't like it that much. Most of it was fine. But I won't come back to the album
Really liked this album. Went on to listen to his other stuff and I liked that too. Only thing is, kind of more an EP. 4 songs doesn't feel like a full album.
Pretty good 90s beach alternative punk. The hits are excellent
Not really my thing. Not Curtis fault though. Different but mostly the same, if that makes sense.
Nicely made. Fairly exhausting by the end
So many 90s bands came along and ripped this off. I've never heard of this album or this band, but I feel like I've heard a lot of these songs in various forms before. To see it came out in '87 was interesting.
It's hard to rate this album. It came out on 1960. She's covered a lot of folk music and it's several years before Woodstock and even the Beatles. I appreciate the time and circumstances surrounding it. But...it was a really tough listen. I couldn't finish it. Her voice over almost all instrumentation was brutal after about 12 songs.
I don't really care for Neil young that much. But I liked the way this album started out. But then the middle and end was a return to form. No thanks.
Pretty good
70s jazz fusion. I like it better ar christmas. Not the worst but not my time.
It was fine. Nice, like a warm breeze. White women everywhere probably like it. Would be nice to make dinner to probably. Almost fell asleep
Very good. Very hard. There's a reason why it's held in such regard.
I really enjoy radiohead. But I think this is their worst album. Having it on in the background while working is fine. I think if I was focusing on listening to it or in the car it would be a tough listen. Yorke really gets pretty whiney toward the end.
Pretty good. Several different sounding songs. Several Beatles rip offs.
Pleasant. Like a beer by the pool. I have no sense of the reggae scene to know if this was groundbreaking. Because it sounded incredibly simple
All the stars. Still rocks with great melody and bravado. Put it in my veins
Awesome jazz. Way before it's time. Felt super cool listening to it.
Not a big fan of hip hop and rap. But this is really a great album. Great hooks. Good lyrics that are about more than most other rap songs. Really enjoyed it
Uhhhh...nice sounding voices. I dunno. Just, not for me I guess
I don't know what people like so much about this guy. His shit is so whiney. Very british. Meh.
Very samey to me. But I can appreciate the background beats and the structure of their rhymes. Everyone js talented and going for it. No songs off. That being said, I didn't really enjoy it that much. I respect it but won't listen again.
Enjoyable. The last 2 songs stink but otherwise, it's like going out to dinner with an old friend.
Very 90s. Pretty good tracks. Just missing a little something. Hard to tell but you can understand why they weren't as popular. It seems like everything they did well, someone else did better
Mostly annoying
Really pretty good. Songs sound different from each other. Several hits. Overall difficult to categorize. Much respect. Not sure how often I'd come back to the whole album though
Uhhhh..fine I guess. I have no comparison i guess. A little annoying by the end
I'm glad I got exposure but that was a rough and extremely long listen
Great musicianship. But I didn't enjoy it all that much.
Strum strum strum, talk talk talk. The originator of the Coldplay school of music. Anyway, not too enjoyable but also not bad in small doses. Really good lyrics. But so goddamn boring for a whole album
Can hear all the things it will influence. Lots of variables tunes. Can't stand his whiny voice
Weird. Way weirder than I thought it was gonna be.
Pretty good. Like the mama's and the papa's but more interesting.
Paint me red and call me a firetruck cause that's a 5/5 every day of the week. More, please.
Pleasant. Sounded the same after a while
Im very sad and tired after that. Why is that a great album? Nice voice though.
Good background listening. Good beats. Mostly the same
Nice melodies and hooks. Morrissey suckz
What a great timeless album. Do you like fun? You'll like this.
Pretty enjoyable. Very big.
Actually really fun from start to finish. Some great hits. Some really good b sides. Will definitely listen again
So good. You can hear so many of rhe bands they will go on to influence
It was fine. Kept a good pace. Can hear the things it will influence pretty easily. Not sure it's one of the greatest albums ever though.
Fine I guess
Really quite good at the beginning especially when you put it into the context of when it came out. The end slows down a little too much.
So boring. Wake me up. Nice voice though.
So ryan is a known POS, but taking a moment to separate the art from the artist, this album is just ok. I've spent 20 years listening to it, or at least some of it and I've always felt that way. Its a solid 3 but that's an average because it's a collection of 4 and 5s but several 1s and 2a. Like most of Ryan's catalog, it's an album of some really good or great songs surrounded by just some really blah tunes he kind of farted out. I've always felt like his catalog should be half as big and more attention to crafting higher quality albums vs just wrapping out 2 or 3 albums a year of whatever he feels at the time. But that's just my opinion. He's still a favorite artist or mine, or at least the art. He's a major douchebag.
Rating this for greatness or influence or whatever is pretty impossible for me. I respect it, seems like some good drumming. But it was a lot of the same. I would like to have it next a pool with a mai tai maybe. And that's probably reductive but whatever
