Sounds a lot like ambient store music, or restaurant music, or music that would go in a big box office movie that I don’t want to see. Vocals are beautiful, tonally, some fun guitar riffs in the background but I have no idea of the structure of any of these songs are and I find that I just want to skip to the next song/turn it off. There are a lot of different styles blended in and I think that to me, is very overwhelming.

Love this album. I enjoy it even more as I’ve gotten older. David Gilmour just ripping that strat. So good.

Lots of familiar songs, upbeat, good vocals. Very blues/early rock and roll. Can definitely hear what the Beatles were influenced by.

Not a big Bowie fan, love the song heroes though. The instrumental tracks were strange

Fun, very “futuristic”’of the time.

Bring in the funk! So fun. Really enjoyed this, have listened to parliament before but not as familiar with this album.

I like this, listened to it a couple of times but not my favorite. I’d give it 3.5 stars if I could I think. Seems to be a pretty heavy album lyric wise, with more traditional, late 60s “hippie” type Americana, despite them being Canadian. Which isn’t always my favorite genre.

I suspect this is actually beautiful and makes you feel, but I simply cannot listen to an album where every album is this depressing and somber. The instrumental’s are very ethereal and well mixed, the lyrics are poetry but I’m having a very hard time listening to something so bleak, especially without being in the mood. I struggle to rate something like this because musical and lyrically It seems exceptional but my personal taste is interfering in my ability to enjoy it.

Not my cup of tea. Gave me blood on the tracks vibes, which I love, but I kept thinking I’d rather listen to Dylan. Well written lyrics, beautiful vocals but was not in the mood for a sad/slow album. Has potential but just to listen for 24 hours for the first time I didn’t resonate with me.

Nice album, couple hits that still get plenty of play time on the radio.

One of my favorite albums of all time. Absolutely love this. Lots of big hits/we’ll know songs.

Sort of bland, some nice beats/instrumentals but nothing stuck out to me, nothing particularly catchy. Vocals, while being sung by different vocalists were mostly forgettable, nothing really drawing me and keeping me engaged.

Not sure what’s going on here. Feels Ween adjacent but I enjoy ween more? Not vibing with this at all.

Amazing

Great album, very bluesy. Excellent vocals by Jagger

Incredible vocals, way more strings and other instruments in the background filling out the tracks.

Hit after hit, beautiful arrangements and production. Excellent vocals and instrumentals.

Brit pop rock, but with good guitar riffs, almost psychedelic. Better than I expected

Love this album, one of my all time favorites. No skips. Fun guitar riffs, great vocals

Absolute banger of an album. Insane guitar from EVH, DLR has incredible vocals. Incredible album that set up a 5+ year run for epic releases for VH. Changed the way guitarists thought about playing the guitar.

Really amazing instrumentals, beautiful orchestration. Way better than I thought. I was thinking cheesy 70s, but this was much better than my preconceived notions.

I don’t know what’s happening but it sounds good.

Wasn’t sure what to expect with this one. Really amazing sound, crazy jazz with some rock mixed in. High quality sound, excellent musicians, it gave me like late 70s vibes but then I saw it was from 1968 and was more impressed.

Sick blues album. Great guitar.

Fun music, annoying vocals

Album was way darker than I remember, but incredible. Really good writing, great beats, feels timeless honestly. I guess bigger fans of Eminem would have more insight to the whole Shady character/storyline but I don’t know enough about that and the discography to speak much about that, but It’s an interesting thing/narrative to pay attention to in this second album.

Love PS. Was waffling between a 3 and 4 on this one. Feel it’s like a 3.5. Lovely album.

Giving this a 3 because I can’t really imagine ever seeking this out to listen to it again but I actually enjoyed it. Great story telling, simple but complementary music, nice voice.

4.5 for me. Love this album. Great guitar playing.

Weird one. It’s like crooner/60s cheesy pop. I didn’t find it offensive, the orchestration was kind of cheesy but fun. The lyrics, same. I’m not sure if this is supposed to be funny or ironic or something? I went back and forth between a 2 and a 3. I think it’s mostly a 2.5.

Some songs I liked, some I didn’t. Not much flow to the album. I’ve never been a huge Motown type fan, but I recognize the talent and quality of music. Great vocals and bass.

This didn’t connect with me at all. I think objectively it’s well produced, decent music and backing band, but the vocals and lyrics and just generally didn’t hit with me.

Love this album. No skips.

Conflicted about this one as Kanye continues to be a total piece of shit, self proclaimed Nazi. However, from a musical standpoint, this album is very good. When it first came out I listened to it regularly for over a year. This was my first Kanye album I listened to. Aggressive album, well produced, certainly harder to listen to in hindsight without tainted thoughts. I feel compelled to give it a 1 simply bc of who Kanye is, but I’ll grade based on music.
