What a dumb fucking album

Pretty bad!

What it lacks in groove it makes up for with no melody

Peg lifts this boring album to a three

This is the highest level flaming lips could hope to achieve. 3 stars!

Fernando almost but didn’t get this to a4

I hated this so much

Surprised by this. Assumed they’d get a 5

This is how you death album! Awesome

Maybe I don’t really like Queen?

There may be a day where this album resonates with me. Today is not that day!

I didnt own many albums growing up. I owned this one

Union song won me over

Dug it. Can’t believe this was ‘77. Sounded like a 90s album

Fun enough

Almost a 5

Stupid lyrics with boring music. Perfect combo

Wanted to give her 5 but just couldn’t take the vibrato

Every song is about sex.

Interesting. But I’d never choose to put this on again

This album took a real downturn after the first couple songs. Generous 3

Man I thought i liked the Cure, but this was terrible

Everyone trying to do morricone

Not his best of this run, but still a 5

I get I should like this, but I never want to listen to this africadabra album. This is a charity 4

A whole album about masturbation.

Let’s take badass songs and make them…less badass. Getting older sucks

Rusty’s violin on ambulance blues is a 5 by itself. The rest of this honeyslide-infused depression album only makes it better

Surprisingly good

Could not rank this lower

A 3 for 3. Meh

Man I don’t get the appeal

I’d almost give it a 3 for being perfectly fine, but she just never gets out of first gear on any of these songs

Pretty good

Pleasant

Solid

Pretty good!

What a dumb fucking album

Meh

Frusciante did it better

Wtf

Surprisingly pretty good

Very pleasant

I feel like Steve Martin in the jerk hearing polka music for the first time when I listen to this

Almost gave it an extra star for that one song, but then listened to the rest.

I can see loving this if I was a teen girl

Morrissey really hates melody

This feels generous

Assumed I’d hate this

Another smiths album??? Wtf

Decidedly meh

Like listening to a Pixar movie about Monk

I dunno. 2? 3? Not terrible, but very boring

17 incredible songs. What output!

Is this right?

Hilarious terrible flow and lyrics. And music.

Mingus is a genius. Just not my kind of genius. Feel bad about this rating

Has lost its luster in best of lists recently and that makes no sense. Perfection

I like new order

I did not enjoy this!

Pretty bad!

Fine

I dunno. I don’t speak French. Probably sucks

Clearly influenced Jason Segal’s rock opera about Dracula. But segal knew it was a joke

I think this is the best version of Drake. It’s fine

Disappointing

Pretty cool but this era really had shitty mixes

Who could’ve predicted what they would become after this garbage

Like the background music to every 90s teen drama on the CW

What it lacks in groove it makes up for with no melody

This album also drove me crazy!

I really like some of this

Pretty cool

Singer really ruins this

Consensus mid

The first AI band ever recorded

Some nice stuff but too many misses

Nirvana? Come on

Pretty cool. They definitely love Bowie

Strikes and gutters. Well, spares and gutters…8s and gutters…

2/3

Melodramatic drivel. Worst of Spector and 70s impulses. I miss runaround sue. I’m sorry this happened to you, Dion

Some of these are ok but a 3-hour album? Cmon man these weren’t all ready for prime time

Never quits

Has its charms

Incredibly boring! Not offensive enough for a 1 I suppose. But man

Prince lifts this album to a 2

Bjork is on another plane but this isn’t for me

Dug the jangly guitar licks

Cool tunes but the vocals were a bit much

Pretty dull. Inoffensive

Pretty cool. Vibe kinda drags by the end of the album

Starts off with some bangers and then gets so square. Maybe a 2

Some cool stuff, a bit too goofy for a 4. But close

Gotta ride for the Liverpool boys

Not my thing

Strong 3

Kicks ass

Frank was feeling some feelings

This is great. Surprised this was 1973

Kudos for incorporating 90s rock feel, but I didn’t love it

Very silly. Very dramatic. Very fun. What the hell, 4

On another day I might have hated this. But today it worked for me. 4 stars!

This wannabe Tolkien shit is one of the major food groups of British 60s rock and good gravy it’s terrible

This is great. Very funky

Not bad but so schmaltzy. I’m sure that’s what he was going for, just didn’t hit for me today

Started fine and then got annoying as it went on

Well it has the decency to be short anyway

Morrissey is definitely zero fun at parties

Back to back Morrissey days is a real test of one’s patience

She’s one of a kind

Solid 90s rock. BSS still rules

Respect the commitment. These boys can play

Milquetoast
