Such a different album when it first came out. Starts out really strong. I do think that it ends kind of weak. Her voice and persona are so unique. It really is a shame that she passed away so young. I think she really could have made some great music.
It was fine. Not really my thing.
I may have to listen to this again. I really like Mingus, but felt that this was too far out there. Though there were parts that I really liked. Did not think it was the masterpiece that everyone else does. 3 stars for now.
It was a lot poppyer than I remember. Still a classic album with a ton of great songs. Amazing that she was able to write like that at such a young age. Excellent album.
Great album. Don't really have much else to say.
It was fine. Not my thing at all.
I didn't even make it through the first song. Not for me.
Great album! Every song is a banger. There's been so much said about this album already that I don't need to say anything else.
It's fine. Sounds like a lot of albums from the era. Nothing really stood out to me. I found the lead singer's voice grating.
Not a fan. I can appreciate the technique required to play this fast, but it really just sound like noise. Everything just blends together for me.
It's fine. I understand the appeal and the innovation, but I've never really enjoyed Van Halen, and this time was no different. I think part of it is that I really don't like Dave as a singer. EVH is amazing technically, but it seems kind of lifeless to me. No soul. No emotion. Just really fast playing.
Holy shit! It's been a while since I listened to the entire album, and I forgot how good it is. The same guys that sung about masturbation and were known for being able to play 3 chords put together one of the defining albums of the early 2000's. It's poignant and topical. It's also catchy as hell. I was able to sing along to almost every song on the album. I don't think there is a bad song on this entire album.
Mostly trash. The two singles from the album are mostly OK (maybe because I've heard them so much), but the rest is not good. Very derivative. Very angry for what seems like no reason.
It's Michael Jackson. What else needs to be said. I don't think that it has aged particularly well. 80's pop, with all the electronics and Jacksonisms that you would expect. The singles from the albums are still really good (Bad, Man in the Mirror, Smooth Criminal), but the rest just don't seem to do much for me.
I don't hate it. There are some classics. But there are also some tracks that just don't hold up. It's better than Bad.
It's really boring and uninteresting.
It's the Beatles. It's Abbey Road. It's not my favorite Beatles album (that would be Let It Be...Naked), but it is a great album.
There has been so much written about the Beatles, and this album that anything that I would say would be extraneous.
It's a beautiful album. A classic.
It's a great album. So many catchy sounds. Early Beatles.
I think I fell asleep.
It's the White Album. What more needs to be said.
Wait....people like this? This horrible. It was grating. I can't believe people would listen to this willingly.
It's good. Straight-ahead rock/ pop. The voice is a little whiney for my taste. It's not a world-shattering as I thought it would be.
It is very 1989. And not in a good way.
Not really for me.
Sleepy.
Other than the singles, I was bored by this album. I'm not sure what all the fuss is about.
It was fine.
I love this album! I've listened to it more times than I can count. It is one of, the best hip-hop albums of all time, and also one of the most influential of all time. The fact that these 9 kids from Staten Island were able to put out this music that sounds so cohesive is incredible. The lyrics, while I admit are a bit misogynistic and vulgar, are still some of the best. They were rapping about what they knew, and what they knew and grew up with was not pretty.
I'm dinging it one star because I don't think that the skits all work that well. But other than that, it is a nearly flawless album.
There are some really good songs on the album. I know the Dead are not for everyone. I also know that the Dead are more of an experience than a band. I don't know if this is something that I would listen to all the time though.
This was the first time I had listened to the whole album. I had heard Nothing Compares 2U countless times. Honestly, that song almost feels out of place on the rest of the album. It was good. But not as mind blowing as I expected. I may have to give it another go.
There's a reason it's the best selling album of all time. It's perfect.
It sounds a little more dated than some of the later Beatles albums, but is still a banger.
Great 90's pop punk.
I really liked this. Q-Tip is one of the most unique voices in hip hop. He's a legend for a reason.
What an opener! One of the best opening tracks to a first album ever (maybe eclipsed by Hendrix).
This is one band that felt fully formed from the first note on their first album. Everything that makes the Talking Heads the Talking Heads is there. It's a good but not great album. But you can definitely see where they were going.
It's a good album. It did feel a little repetitive though. I can understand what they were going for, but not as much a fan of the "cool" jazz.
