This is much more musical than most punk albums. Awesome album!

Musically it’s not my thing. Lyrically some of the songs are beautiful. Overall it feels too plain in some areas and way too much in others. 14th Street and Beautiful Child were the highlights for me. I give those a 4.

Reminded me of Craig David but not nearly as good

Ahh the return of the hidden tracks! This sounded like my childhood and reminds me of car rides with my dad. Cannot believe it’s been 30 years since it was released.

No misses on this album. Loved 15 Step, Jigsaw Falling Into Place, and Videotape

Liked the songs but nothing stood out to me. Also…twice as many bonus tracks as “real” ones feels a bit much.

Easy listen. Would have been bigger if it was released earlier. The Wikipedia entry mentions Illmatic, Enter the Wu Tang, and Ready to Die which definitely dominated 93-94, but I think this more occupies the same place as Midnight Marauders which is the better album imo.

Yeah, this was a fun one. Always loved Eddie Van Halen’s guitar style and David Lee Roth’s vocals.

Perfect for driving with the top down, super early in the morning, after a long night out. This Must Be the Place I Waited to Leave and How Can You Expect to be Taken Seriously were highlights

Do I detect a hint of surf rock? Dramatic, orchestral….slightly mod and hippiesh at times. This album crammed so many sub genre sounds into its songs.

Yup…that’s metal.

All bops no filler

More metal….not my favorite genre but it was good.

If this is on here and no My Bloody Valentine albums are, I’ll be very disappointed. This was good but not great.

Love this album, another one that reminds me of car rides with my dad. Immigrant Song is a strong opener. Leaving room in the rating in case there are other Zeppelin albums on the list. Rating is a 3/5 among other Led Zeppelin albums. A solid 5 against other albums that we have already heard.

1 extra star for nostalgia. Makes me think of HS and college. The Stars of Track and Field, Get Me Away From Here I’m Dying, and If You’re Feeling Sinister were highlights.

Great voice and range but skipped a lot of them. The songs I liked the most were covered better by others imo. eg The Shirelles cover of Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow is much stronger and neither hold a candle to Carol King’s

Not usually a fan of live albums but this was enjoyable

This was a fun listen. Pretty Green was a great opener

It’s Bowie so I’ll like it, but compared to other Bowie albums it’s not as good.

Blue and The Last Time I Saw Richard get me every time

Liked some but was meh on others

Not for me

You can hear how he had his hand in so many other bands’ work in this album. It’s just those sounds but…more.

Weird, love it

This was rough

Groovy. I had no idea who this was until Get it On. Really enjoyed the rest of his stuff

A little meandering at times but enjoyable

Not something I would normally pick up, but it’s a good example of style and a pretty good listen.

Now that’s a strong opening…

Awesome sentimental bops

Listened while waiting for a flight in DC. Too tired and sober for this I think.

Gimme Shelter is a solid song but the rest range from ok to meh.

Mid

4.5 stars Embarrassingly, I think I have only heard other people cover Cohen's songs so I was not prepared for the gravel in his voice. After a few songs it got to be a bit much for me but the lyrics and instrumentation were so beautiful.

It's the Buzzcocks, you cannot go wrong!

What an odd album. This was an amazing journey. I hit play without looking at the track list and kept getting lovely surprises along the way. Forget the originals (which are fantastic) but a cover of Born to Run? San Jose? I love The Boss and Burt Bacharach!

Not my thing. Strong opener (there's probably a reason it was populare and the rest are not) but then it just got repetitive.

An easy listen but nothing unique or ground breaking sticks out to me.

Pretty for a single song but gets repetitive

<3 Pavement

This album definitely shows The Beatles transitional phase. The first two songs alone show their early more pop sound and the sound that would define their later work. Good mix, rating it against other Beatles albums.

Perfect and Forgiven still gut me all these later.

Was it intersting? Yes. Will I listen to it again? No.

It's like a folksy David Bowie!

Nostalgia!

Nifty but not my thing

Ah yes, the album of commercial and movie songs!

No skips

Absolutely not. Was every singer in this genre so whiny?

Haven’t listened to this in years. Lyrically and musically still makes me feel nostalgic and like I’m in a 90s teen movie

Loved this. Even more impressive when you think about it being done in the 70s

Everything I hate about live albums

Heart of Gold, Old Man, Alabama, and Words are fantastic. The rest I feel very meh about overall.

Ok background music at first but it got weird.

Her voice and work is so timeless.

This album was so beautiful. Glad to see more of them on this list!
