Black Holes and Revelations
MuseI agree it was probably the Muse best album, that’s not saying a lot. I found it derivative and ponderous.

Probably the best collection of songs about the music industry and the toll it takes on artists.
Loaded with iconic tracks, though not all of them hit. I can see why it’s on the list.
One archetypal San Francisco sound track and two iconic Grace Slick songs surrounded by a ripoff rundown of all the best selling folk rock styles of the period. One star for being famous and a bonus star for Slick’s unmistakably genius contributions.
One of my favorites from my teenage years. Can’t go wrong. If I could give it 4.5 though, I’d dock it for a couple ponderous noise filler tracks. But they don’t seem worth a full point.
This one was new to me. I’m a post punk, no wave fan, so it was a good fit.
That was…interesting.
First two tracks are classics and there are one or two additional decent tracks on this. Most I found to be exceedingly ponderous.
Too high - DECENT Visions - ROUGH Living for the city - LIKE THAT Golden Lady - DECENT Higher Ground - STAMP Jesus Children of American - weird but DECENT All Love is Fair - ROUGH Don’t you worry bout a thing - ROUGH He’s misstra know it all - ROUGH
Absolute classic.
Kirkland brand Motown?
Classic
It was fine I guess.
This stinks.
Solid 6 out of 7 tracks. And that last one wasn’t half bad.
STAMP
Absolute classic
Meh.
I don’t like Kanye. It’s official.
It stinks
Classic
Much better than I expected.
Much better than I would have expected
One good song. Lots of meh ones
Two famous and boring songs surrounded by not at all famous and boring songs.
This stinks
3 good tracks out of 16, and more than half of those are so repetitive they could have been one or two long songs. Easily could have died without listening to most of it.
Absolute classic.
Great album. 7 five star songs out of 11 tracks. Not a bad score.
I get why this a classic, but I can’t not see teal headbands and leg warmers when I hear this kind of music.
This was a good one. I liked the feel (somewhere between Joy Division and U2) and the production quality was impressive. They could have cut down some of their songs though. The musicianship wasn’t quite enough to justify multiple 6 min + songs.
What’s not to love
One or two good tracks but ambient electronica just isn’t my idea of a good time.
Jazzy and bongorific
This was terrible.
Interesting as a piece of music history. It blends 70’s funk and hip hop. I didn’t like it but it’s interesting
Fun little record.
Nice if not my thing.
Ew. I couldn’t eat to this.
Wow.
Three out of ten songs forgettable filler, but the rest are essentially a best of record. I never realized how many of the Who songs I know from the radio came from this one record.
Contains at least 40% of the songs I know from the radio on one album. That’s worth something I’m sure.
Good for her.
Basically they found the market is for 7 minute MGMT songs, though I can’t fathom who that might be.
It’s thriller. What are you gonna do.
TL;DR
Some interesting tracks.
Never heard of them and it had some solid tracks.
First thing to say is that she was undeniably a generational talent. Having said that, while a couple of tracks managed to hit me in my jazz bone, in general it wasn’t to my tastes.
My god that was terrible.
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHAH!!!
Great Christmas album, if you like Phil Spector’s early 60’s groups. Which I do.
Pretty dull.
Probably one of my favorite albums ever.
This is funkin’ great! One track that wasn’t my thing but the rest of it was incredible
I don’t know much about hip hop but this is stupid.
It was alright
Meh
Classic.
