Solid Album. 6.5/10. Liked Subterranean Homesick Blues (of course) as well as Bob Dylan's 115th Dream. The laugh is kinda hilarious
Generally, a solid album. Changes, Oh! You Pretty Things, Life on Mars, are songs I've loved for quite a long time, and Andy Warhol was a surprise new song that I really enjoyed. Other songs, particularly in the middle portion, were of more middling quality, and the album did feel a little bloated as a result.
And god, The Bewlay Brothers is so underrated. It's a brilliant song to end out the album.
Bibbity-bobbity hat.

If Kooks, Quicksand, Fill Your Heart were removed and Eight Line Poem was shifted or removed entirely, the rating might range as high as 7.8-8.2/10.
Great album. Not really my type of music, admittedly, but Venus in Furs I really did enjoy - a 9/10, definitely. Rocky start (not that the first two songs are bad, per se, but not to my liking.) but gets the ball rolling quickly afterwards.

5/10. I'll not place a detailed rating here as this isn't really something I vibe with very much. Some snippets of tracks here and there catch my attention, but this certainly isn't my thing.
Not my thing. Again, skimping the review - I'll only give it if I resonate with it enough. 4/10
Solid album. I love the sound of the album - including the rapping, which I include as an instrument rather than an element of the lyricism - but drags on in places, and does get a bit repetitive. Great introduction, and C.R.E.A.M is great, obviously
Musicality: 8/10
Musicality: Excellent execution with numerous standout moments.

Ok album. Not exactly a fan in any way. I acknowledge it's importance and it's impact, but I don't particularly like the music on this album in any way.
Musicality: 9/10

Moderate; some tracks may be worth revisiting.
Average: 6.5/10
Really well done - I must listen to it again at some point because I've been suffering poor connectivity issues where I'm at here. This really is a great example of what an album should be; there's such a distinct sonic texture to this album, and it feels cohesive and well done. There's a melancholic mystery and mystique to it, and yet, a palpable sense of wonder. I guess I could associate with deep, warm ocean shades of black and blue with fairy pink and white.
I adore Listen. Everybody Wants to Rule The World and Shout is great too, and I love the jazzier songs like The Working Hour.
Musicality: 9/10
Exceptional execution with masterful skill and artistry.
Lyricism: 8/10
Strong, thoughtful, and engaging lyrics. Earnestly, Everybody Rules the World is the biggest contributor here - though the others aren't slackers. That's a 10/10.
