I have to say I was not surprised this album made the list. I sort of spoiled it for myself when I went to the wikipedia entry for this list and saw "Trash Metal" as one of the featured genres. I immediately knew Master of Puppets was on the list. When I think of "albums that defined a genre", this is the first that comes to mind, and it's arguably the best the genre ever produced. This album will be, almost w/o a doubt, the Number 1 album on this list for me. That is, if Ride The Lightning or AJFA are not included. MoP is one of my top 5 albums. It's probably the one that I've listened to the most times back to back in my life. It's really special to me. More often that not, it transports me back to being 12-13 y/o and discovering my love for this sort of music.

Papapapapaaaaaa papapapapaaaaa better!

My 3rd favorite Santana album <3

I liked it, but I feel I would have enjoyed the trip better with some "mind-bending goodies" :D

Pleasant surprise :)

He might be a fellow compatriota, but his music is really not my thing...

I remember being a kid and hearing my mom say about this sort of music: "This isn’t music, this is pure noise!". I remember thinking to myself "She's too old, she just doesn't get it". Listening to this album 30 years later made me realize something: I'm sorry mom, you were right... There were a couple of passable songs, but some of them made me want to pull my hair out. I'm still not sure what would make a 1 star rating, but this one was really close.

Another almost-1

True classic

Liked a couple of songs better than the previous Brian Eno album, but most others were too experimental for my taste.

after the first 15 minutes, all songs blended together...

uninspired

This is like the "music" me and my buddies would make after getting stupid drunk. The monks might have had a lot of fun creating this album, but it was not fun for me to listen to it.

Better than the previous one

The beatles have never done it for me. It's not that i dislike them, but i also don't get specially moved by the music. This album has a few songs that i found good, the most bluesy ones, but still not enough for an album with 30 songs. Solid 3.

One of my all time favorites 💙

Feels wrong giving this a 5 after Live at the Regal, but i guess if i could have given that one a 6 or a 7 i would have. Anyways, love this album.

Pink Floyd is the epitome of separating the art from the artist: such a great band led by one of the worst kinds of character. But in any case, I've always loved this album, so 4th 5 in a roll!

Simon & Garfunkel has never been my thing, but every now and then i enjoy it in small doses

Second album from Kate. I thought the spell was over and i wouldn't enjoy this one but... Happy i was wrong. Her music is not easy to consume, but several of these songs seem to have the potential to really grow on me after a few listens=)

ugh, only a couple of songs were passable for me.

Lol this album genuinely made me laugh out loud. I can't believe how many great tracks are on this album that I've known for years, without even realizing who the artist was behind them! I mean, the guy didn't even bother giving this album a serious name, so he shares some of the blame.. thanks Schmilsson! :D -- great find

Beautiful voice, but the music didn't grab me.

such a beautiful album. I think it's been more than 20 years since I've listened to it whole. Some songs I used to not like (like Silverfuck and Quiet) I now see under a different light. I'm really happy this was included. I can inject Mayonaise and Disarm right into my veins <3

EDM is not my thing, but this was not that bad.

I never paid attention to Portishead, but wow! this one will get many listens in the near future :)

The only bad thing about this album is that it is too short

I was waiting for the first hip hop album of the list. I'm surprised it is this one though, I can easily think of 10 better / more influential albums than this

The only good thing about this album is that i finally know what a decisive 1 looks like

Bass is fire through this whole album

This one is better than 50's album but I'm also giving it a 3 because i need to re-adjust my scale. It is starting to seem like the author of this list and me don't have the same taste in hip hop music =(

Loved it!

Third Kate Bush album and we have not reached 6% of the list...?

I've never been into anything Madonna does. Great dance music I guess, but not my thing :)

Fun music but I've never been a fan.

Great album! I've never listened to it as a whole but ZZ always pumps me up!

I've never been into indie rock, so every band sounds the same to me

This was like listening to a cover band that played a slightly too long set list at a dive bar. I sort of enjoyed it at first but half through it I was ready to pay uo and leave.

<3

Out of the ones we've seen from the 2000s onwards, easily the best album yet

I have never listened to this one. It was cool :), particularly Barbarism Begins At Home

I enjoyed the more blues-rock-y songs

We know now that there are at least two Radiohead albums on this list: OK Computer and this one. Despite having been told many times I'd be into Radiohead, I've never been a fan. This album didn't really make it for me.

I liked the other Brazilian album better

Second Suede album, still digging it!

Got worried when I saw the cover of this album thinking it was going to be the same as the previous African album we got. Track 1, Sax starts playing, then bass kicks in... all my worries went away and immediately fell in love! Great discovery :)

I weirdly knew several songs from this album w/o knowing the album or the artist. My wife's a fan too, w/o knowing her. This is a 3.5 for me, it was a nice find and i enjoyed it =)

I only really like a couple of NIN songs from their entire discography...

I feel I listened to this band's whole discography just by going through this one album... I bet for the audience people on LSD this whole thing was AMAZING, but for me, it was just alright :)

Not often do i find an album that makes me think "what the hell did I just listen to?" I think this is one of the most unique albums we've heard so far. Really unpredictable. I thought i was listening to the radio.. so many genres. Some songs were really good, some others not that much. I think this is a 3.5

It was better than expected, but still not my thing

I think this is prob the album I have enjoyed the most so far, from the one I didn't know anything about. Almost a 5!

As per usual, loved the bluesy songs, the ballads were ok. This is again like a 3.5 but I'm giving it a 4 to remind myself to listen to it again.

Bunch of classics!

This is one of those albums I listened to when I was waaaaay to young to be listening to such a thing :) I discovered both Metallica and Cypress at the same time, but only Metallica stuck. Anyways I'm surprised the author picked this album instead of Black Sunday, I doubt both are in, but I also like this one.

not bad, but not my thing at all...

Even though i do like some individual songs from Prince, this album wasn't my thing

As a Christmas album, it was great. I'm glad this was recommended this week =)

This is the first 5 stars I give to an album I didn't previously known. I really enjoyed this one!

To think she was only 19-20 when recording this album... Amazing album, and I don't doubt we'll also get Back To Black eventually.

not my thing

Well, I knew the first song :)

God, kill me now...
