Hip Hop is not a genre I listen to regularly but since I'm trying to expand my musical horizons, this is a good first album as I start this musical journey. Overall impression: Tried to listen with an open mind and liked it more than I thought I would. Loved Songs: All of the Lights, Lost in the World Liked Songs: Dark Fantasy, Gorgeous, Hell of a Life Indifferent Songs: Power, Devil in a New Dress, Runaway, Blame Game Disliked Songs: Monster, So Appalled Would I listen to it again? Probably not the whole album but there are a couple of songs that I will add to my playlist.

This is more my speed and the type of music I usually seek out. I'm familiar with a few songs* from MGMT but have never listened to this full album. Overall impression: I really liked it. A lot of the songs start slow but really grow on you. Nothing I outright disliked. Can definitely hear a Bowie influence. Loved Songs: Electric Feel*, Kids*, Pieces of What, Of Moons Birds & Monsters Liked Songs: Time to Pretend*, The Youth (this one is a grower), 4th Dimensional Transition (another that gets better as it goes on), The Handshake, Future Reflections Indifferent Songs: Weekend Wars Disliked Songs: None Would I listen to it again? Yes

The only Wilco I've listened to before this are the two Mermaid Avenue records with Billy Bragg. Overall impression: You know those bands that you think you should love but just don't. I think Wilco is one of those bands for me. There were a few songs that were nice to listen to but as a whole, it didn't grab me. Loved Songs: Pot Kettle Black (I think because the beginning sounds like In Between Days, my favorite Cure song) Liked Songs: Kamera, War on War, Heavy Metal Drummer, I'm the Man Who Loves You Indifferent Songs: I Am Trying to Break Your Heart, Jesus Etc., Poor Places Disliked Songs: Radio Cure, Ashes of American Flags, Reservations Would I listen to it again? No

Classic.

My first taste of Kraftwerk. You can see how much they influenced the synthpop artists that followed them and since I love those artists, not too surprising that I love this. Even with several 6+ minute songs, I was never bored. Favorites: Metropolis, The Model, Neon Lights, The Man Machine Would I listen to it again?: Yes

I'm more familiar with Common the actor than Common the rapper but consider me pleasantly surprised. Appreciate the soul/R&B-influenced backing tracks. Favorites: Be (Intro), Chi-City, The Food, They Say

I know who Traffic is but don't think I've ever really listened to them. It does tend to all blend together but love the organ. Favorites: Freedom Rider, Empty Pages

Not a Steely Dan fan. Never have been, never will be. However, I do like "Dirty Work".

Simply beautiful.

A classic.

I've never heard of Fred Neil but have heard a couple of his songs done by other people. This feels like a rainy day kind of album. Nice voice.

I consider myself a casual Who fan but gotta say, I loved this. They sound great and I liked hearing them in their prime since I never would have had the opportunity otherwise.

Love it.
