I’m not a stickler for authenticity but Elvis Costello just comes off so fake.

Never has a band name less matched the style of music. Lo-fi study beats to be put on in the background and ignored.

All Ratings (795)

Andre 3000 album is better but enjoy both thoroughly.

First half starts strong then peters out. Double tracks take interesting turns.

Better than expected. Very good

Great instrumental songs mixed with ok lyrics songs.

Acoustic versions on the deluxe edition are great. Album has a great vibe Anne some real standout songs. Can’t go wrong with Karen O.

Not bad per se but don’t see myself going back to listen again.

St Patrick’s day music. Couldn’t finish this.

Every British. Very 80’s.

Loud brash aggressive excellent

Ben Folds does Lilith Fair

Probably more interesting if you’re more familiar with metallicas music.

Proto avalanches found sound electronic music

It’s Elvis. What more is there to say.

Verges on corny in the middle but finishes strong.

Girls might be one of the most annoying songs ever made and why do they say their names so much? 4 stars

Great running music. Too many refrains of I can move any mountain.

Starts slow but improves as it gets into the groove. Listen if you like strange mercy from st Vincent.

Funky

Quaint by todays standards but groundbreaking for its time.

I can appreciate it (I think) for what it is but I just don’t really enjoy listening to it.

At least they stopped saying their names so much. Don’t live the mixing in some parts but also contains some classics.

Leonard cohen meets Tom waitts

Am I glad I listened, sure. Will I ever listen again, probably not.

Top in its class.

This review sums it up perfectly. You can classify Doors tunes into 3 categories; the hits, average blues tunes and drug addled drek.

The songs are good but the commercial conceit is bad.

Other bands do this sound better.

Did not age well.

Kind of obnoxious, really.

Difficult to not just tune this out as noise.

Not for me.

Tom waits is an acquired taste and not one that I want to go through acquiring.

The overly scuzzy filter on a lot of songs makes this kind of an unpleasant listen on headphones but still good overall.

Always love finding the sample source to newer songs. Very cool album

Worst title track ever.

Don’t love the deep cuts but rating it a four for the hits.

Some real cool stuff but gets overwhelming towards the end.

Oh yeah, that’s the stuff.

Solid first three tracks then loses steam.

Much more of an instrumental album than I realized but very good nonetheless.

I’m not a stickler for authenticity but Elvis Costello just comes off so fake.

Was expecting weirder since everything called it her most experimental album but it was very enjoyable.

There must be better temptations albums out there.

Other bands do this sound better

Are the lyrics in Spanish as corny as the ones in English?

I keep turning it up and it keeps getting quieter.

I don’t know how to rate this type of music but it sounded nice.

Boring and repetitive. No redeeming qualities to this one.

Such weird mid tempo songs

Not listening to two whole hours of this. Did not finish.

Don’t promise me club classics and then give me that.

Each song quickly wears out its welcome

Absolutely rockin bass lines.

Just really only like the singles.

Aggressively average

Only good part is the James Bond theme.

Tried to listen twice and have no memory of it either time.

Snoozeville

Nope not listening to this anymore.

Just did not like this and feel kind of icky for having listened in the first place.

Sounds like if lumiere from beauty and the beast had a lounge act in Vegas.

It’s a 2.5 but half isn’t available so it gets a 2.

Music’s alright. Hate the skits.

It was just ok!

Leonard Cohen falls victim to the 80s

I wanted to like this more but I just didn’t.

The music is mind numbingly monotonous but I guess that’s the point?

I was doing ok with this until those last couple songs. Terrible ending to an already not great time.

This isn’t bad per se but it feels like an inside joke that I’m not a part of.

Ooh I don’t know if I’m gonna like this Ok this isn’t bad Hey the jackass theme song! 43 songs in 74 minutes is schizophrenic It’s now gone on too long That wasn’t bad

Writing a song about mengele and then claiming you just find him interesting is some serious edgelord shit.

Never has a band name less matched the style of music. Lo-fi study beats to be put on in the background and ignored.

Drug music. If I was high while listening it’d get a 5.

Ironically I found this kind of light on bongos.

Some of this I dont even think could qualify as music but I feel richer for having listened to it.

Incredibly dated. Every song feels like the same tempo and flow. Every song is a boring platitude.

Cool start weird ending.

I rates this low but in a weird way I think this actually is an album you need to hear to be believed.

Super corny.

The love letter to Stevie Wonder is bizarre and the next song grinds the whole album to a halt but overall still pretty good.

Everyone involved with this record seems bored. The band is basically sleep walking through every song. Her voice is nice but she doesn’t stretch it or do anything interesting with it.

I saw the Beatles wearing army pants and flip flops so I went out and bought army pants and flip flops.

Maybe it would be more enjoyable if you knew the shorter version of the songs so you could hear how they build off those. Do these songs even have shorter versions?

Whoever picked the singles got it exactly right. Everything else is forgettable.

Every song repeats the chorus at least two times too many. I don’t like these songs enough to listen to them again in French.

This doesnt even have break stuff or nookie which are least fun terrible. This is all just terrible.

That felt way longer than 34 minutes (derogatory)

Cut the length of every song in half and remove all vocals and then we’re talkin.

More of a pop bent than I expected but pretty good.

The musical equivalent of a manic episode

It’s not The Beach Boys album I’m reaching for when I want to hear them.

That version of make you feel my love is genuinely terrible. Rest is cool. Grammy still feels more like a lifetime achievement award.

I don't care how technically proficient this is. I dont like it.

A few real gems interspersed throughout an overall challenging listen.

Taking away a full star for rod stewart singing old man river.

I was simultaneously repulsed and entertained.

Cool

I dont understand the Sgt Peppers connection.

A perfectly cromulent album. Almost frustratingly generic.

You just have to roll your eyes.

The volume varies so much from song to song. Some ok some are unbearable.

It’s like I’ve heard 50 variations of this exact album on this list. This ones not bad though.

Another bizarre name/title/sound combination but entertaining regardless.

There's something uniquely awful about hearing Eric Clapton sing "I Shot the Sherriff". Nobody tried to stop that?

They really thought they were cookin with this sex packet stuff…they were not.

Jingle jangle

Pretty nice album by a world class asshole.

Quickly wears out any good will it earns.

Starts strong weirdly mellows out towards the end.

This is a hip hop hate crime.

Like variations on a theme if that theme was George Michael’s Freedom '90.

One star for "Our House" and absolutely nothing for the rest of it.

Nick Cave strikes again

The songs I like I really like and the songs I dont like I REALLY dont like.

Never been so happy to not speak French.

Forgettable

Shut up about lynyrd skynyrd!
