The album was surprisingly emotional, but no song grabbed me. The lyrics were dark and introspective whilst the music was light, smooth, and jazzy - the contrast was interesting!

I enjoyed this album, it reminded me of Jack White but more voluminous and detailed

Not a big fan of the unrefined sound. Songs sounded the same and there was too much instrumentation.

I enjoyed the songs War Pigs and Hand of Doom. Classic goth rock sounds to my ear, but what do I know! I enjoyed the listen through but wouldn’t necessarily listen to the whole album again.

Album wasn’t for me, but I can see how someone who is in to R’n’B would enjoy it. Not bad!

I liked the feel of the album, but nothing really grabbed my attention. Some of the instrumental pieces I really enjoyed.

Fine, but Taylor has better albums with better songs. I enjoyed Willow.

The album had a good sound, but most songs blended into one another for me.

I can see Kendrick’s appeal, but I found the message of the album mostly lost on me. I did appreciate the stories of his life and that of the disadvantaged youth experienced growing up with drugs and crime. No subtlety to it, but good beats. I like one or two songs and would listen again e.g. m.A.A.d city and swimming pools. I kind of liked Backstreet Freestyle too

I enjoyed the lightness of this album, and the wistful notes about love. Lots of easy listening songs, and a few hits.

I found the album a bit too heavy for me I think, which surprised me. Maybe I don’t feel the same level of agression / angst that I might have had a as a teenager - but even then, I don’t think it would have been for me. Bar “In The End” nothing stuck with me. The sound was like Papa Roach crossed with Evanescence.

Didn’t really tickle my fancy, and I preferred their album “Paranoid”. I liked N.I.B, but felt that songs blended together on the album overall.

Didn’t like it, just not my kind of music at all. Maybe one song I kind of like (“Human NRG”)

It was fine, just fine.

Nice easy listening music. Unfortunately I couldn’t understand the language which made it harder to relate too.

An excellent album, I really enjoyed so much of this easy to listen to but emotive album. I hadn’t heard Carole King before, but knew some of the hits from the album - but the overall album was great!

Just fine, nothing really stuck with me.

I don’t know why but this album surprised me! I enjoyed the rough, grungey, poor vocals, mashed with the background riffs - I enjoyed this!
