False advertising...they are NOT my new favorite band. I did enjoy the album though...lots of youthful energy.
Solid...not great.
Not something I would normally listen to but really enjoyed it. Closer to a 4 than a 2.
A memorable album from high school...hadn't listened to it in a long time. Multiple great songs, but a little too uneven for me to call it a great album.
Had never heard of this artist. Not something I would normally listen to, but enjoyed it.
Great album...only complaint is that it doesn't have the variety and complexity of some of the later Beatles albums. It still amazes me how prolific they were in such a short period of time...
Had never heard of them before, but I liked this album a lot. Very intriguing sound...simultaneously haunting and soothing. Will definitely give their other albums a listen...also love this album's cover art.
No idea what I just listened to. It wasn't horrible...just bizarre. If you told me it was some sort of joke, I'd believe it. His voice sounds like a cross between Neil Diamond and Tom Jones.
Don't think I had listened to the whole album before. A couple of great songs, but not much more.
Ok...nothing special.
Really enjoyed this. Will be listening to it again.
Still sounds great. Can almost imagine myself at CBGB...
Love Geddy and the boys, but this one was a bit disjointed...was on the fence between 2 and 3 but gave them the benefit of the doubt.
Didn't like it...can't really put my finger on the reason.
Meh...just ok.
Solid. Enjoyed it...but not quite enough for a 4.
I can appreciate the quality...but it's so hard to compare music from different eras. The older stuff just doesn't hit me the same way...
Unreal how great this still sounds over 50 years later. I can't imagine listening to this for the first time as a teenager in 1969 on the heels of the Beatles and Beach Boys...must have sounded like it came from outer space.
False advertising...they are NOT my new favorite band. I did enjoy the album though...lots of youthful energy.
Would never listen to this normally, but thoroughly enjoyed it. Love those horns!
Interesting. Didn't love it...didn't hate it.
A couple of great pop songs, but was disappointed in the rest of the album.
Just not my thing.
Not normally a big country fan, but after listening to the whole thing it's easy to see why this is considered a classic album.
I can see why some might like listening to this...but it's just not for me.
Even with Stairway to Heaven way overplayed during our youth, this is an all-timer. Damone: When it comes down to making out, whenever possible, put on side one of Led Zeppelin IV. Ratner: plays "Kashmir" from Physical Graffiti.
Never been a huge Joni Mitchell fan, but appreciate it for what it is.
Didn't recognize the name of the artist or album, but definitely knew "Perfect Skin". Solid album. 3
Did not enjoy this...not my cup of tea.
Wow...was not expecting a country album from The Byrds. Enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would.
Solid country rock album.
Nice easy listening. Don't recall ever seeing an album with only two songs before.
Hadn't listened to this in a long time. An 80's classic...will disregard the one forgettable song.
Some great songs to give it a strong 3...but not quite enough overall for me to give it a 4.
Guessing only hardcore EL&P fans would find this one stimulating.
I'm sure fans of their first two albums must have said "WTF?" after listening to this for the first time. While it's not their one of their best and none of the songs are very well known other than "Immigrant Song", their departure from hardcore guitar into blues and folk on this album really demonstrates their range and talent as musicians. A few years ago Katie and I were traveling through Wales, and we went a little out of our way to go to Bron-Yr-Aur cottage, where they wrote a lot of the songs on III and IV. Was hoping to at least get a picture, but we abandoned ship when I saw that you had to go up a steep gravel path off the main road to get there...it looked like someone's driveway. And apparently the current owners aren't fond of Zep fans making a pilgrimage to their property...not worth the hassle.
Solid, but the Dylan voice and the harmonica get a bit repetitive.
I know this album is of historical importance, but I was underwhelmed...a bit dull and repetitive.
Hadn't listened to this in quite a while. Solid album...started strong and was thinking 4, but the second half isn't as strong so can only give it a 3.
Had never heard of Deerhunter before. Found the album interesting...really enjoyed Helicopter. Will give some of their other albums a listen.
Enjoyed adding a little funk to my workday...
Wow...multiple great songs on this album. Depeche Mode doesn't get the respect they deserve.
Interesting...had never heard of them but would listen to it again.
Nothing wrong with it...just not my thing.
I wanted to turn it off halfway through the first song, but I persevered and listened to the whole thing. So much unnecessary anger…don’t understand why anyone would seek this out.
On the fence between 3 and 4, but will upgrade to 4 with so many classic songs on the same album. That damn flute gets annoying though...
Wow...amazing debut album. Will listen to it again.
Was hit and miss for me...too inconsistent.
One classic song doesn't make up for a lot of crap on the rest of the album.
Liked it a lot more than I expected...did not miss the harmonica at all.
Really enjoyed this. Had heard it before, but particularly enjoyed the funkier original version of "Higher Ground"...but have to admit that I like the RHCP version better.
Strong 3...nice punk edge to the entire album, and never sounded repetitive.
Nope. Don't understand how anyone can find this enjoyable to listen to.
More enjoyable than I expected...solid 3.
Had never listened to this before and had high hopes, but thought it was just OK.
Solid, but not something I would normally listen to.
Not sure if I had ever listened to this entire album before. Multiple classics, and loved the blues tunes as well.
Love her voice and have always loved "The Emperor's New Clothes", but not quite enough for me to give it a 4.
Think I had heard of them but had never listened to any of their albums...enjoyed this one. Punk edge that never went too far.
I remember in high school when "Love Plus One" came out thinking these guys were really lame. I stand corrected. Really enjoyed the entire album...love the horns.
Amazing collection of well-written songs....not a bad one in the bunch. Like his older pre-Christie Brinkley stuff much better.
Not something I would normally listen to. Beautiful voice...strong album.
Nothing wrong with it...just not my thing.
Enjoyed this...would listen to it again.
Had never listened to this before. Enjoyed it...would listen to it again.
Really enjoyed it...guess the sense I should be listening to more Britpop.
We've heard worse, but I won't be listening to this one again.
Had never heard of them. A bit too sweet and syrupy for my taste.
Solid but not spectacular.
A couple nice hits, but nothing else really resonated.
Don't think I had ever listened to the entire album before. Really enjoyed it...will definitely listen to it again.
I definitely prefer late Beatles over early Beatles...
Had never heard of them. Liked a few of the songs, but didn't find anything really memorable.
Wanted and expected to like this more than I actually did.
Did not enjoy it. For a while I thought I was listening to Jason Segal's puppet musical from "Forgetting Sarah Marshall".
Started out strong, but the flip side was definitely weaker...
I've decided that I need more Funkadelic in my life.
Not bad...but nothing really memorable either.
Wow...I now have a favorite rap album. Loved all of it.
Enjoyed it...though not sure I'd want to listen to it again.
Respect it for its historical value, but have never been a big fan of Ozzy or Black Sabbath.
Meh...nothing really exciting here.
Interesting, but not something I'd choose to listen to.
Great voice and appreciate her talent, but just not a big fan of country music.
Didn't enjoy it. To me it seemed like a weird fusion of country and Lawrence Welk with vocals by Ray Charles.
Interesting...enjoyed it. Had never heard of them but will have to give it another listen.
Never disappoints.
Really enjoyed it. Felt like I was in "rock church"...especially during "Personal Jesus".
Love her experimentation, but not something I would choose to listen to.
Great collection of songs. I recall "Scarborough Fair" being one of the songs I had to play for my piano lessons...probably around 1975 or so.
Solid album with several hits from the times.
I'm guessing this is considered a classic, but the songs all sound the same after a few of them.
Really liked this...would listen to it again.
Not my thing.
Underwhelming.
Impossible not to tap your feet to these songs. Loved the energy of the live performance.
Some good stuff...would listen to it again.
Wasn't expecting to like this very much...was expecting it to sound like early Pink Floyd. Was pleasantly surprised...thoroughly enjoyed it.
Solid. Strong 3 but not quite enough for a 4.
Underwhelming...the songs started sounding the same after a while.
We've heard worse, but not a big fan of the genre.
Still sounds pretty good...maybe it's the nostalgia kicking in.
Hit and miss.
Wow. Still so good. I think "Let's Go Crazy" was played at every one of our parties in college.
Not a fan. Didn't like her voice at all.
Not sure if I had ever listened to the entire album before. Classic 70s tunes...good stuff.
Don't think I had ever listened to the entire album before. Really good.
Interesting sound, which I kind of liked...but toward the end of the album the songs are start sounding the same.
This one surprised me. Really enjoyed it...felt like I was on one of our trips to Mexico.
Too syrupy sweet for my tastes.
Liked some of the songs, but not a lot of variety.
Solid pop album.
Knew many of the songs but had never listened to the entire album. Good stuff.
Not horrible, but not my thing.
Had never listened to this before. Enjoyed it...like a musical time capsule.
Wouldn't normally listen to this, but very pleasant.
Found a few of the songs interesting, but not that exciting overall.
Really enjoyed it...fun listen.
