I enjoyed it more than I expected, hopefully it will grow on me

Pretty cool

I think I like Room On Fire more

not my cup of tea

This album is not bad, but we're talking about "albums you SHOULD hear before you die". I don't think it deserve a spot.

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, MBDTF, the album which internet music critic Anthony Fantano/Theneedledrop infamously gave a 6 out of 10 to. Now I'm not saying I agree with him, this album has serveral good qualities and perhaps deserve a higher score. However, this is not the all time great album fans are hyping it up to be either. Kanye has at least three better albums. (I'm thinking The College Dropout, Graduation, Kids See Ghost). This album has the production Kanye is hailed for, foward thinking samples(such as the King Crimson sample on POWER), Nicki Minaj's best verse of her career, the emotional vulnerable track Runaway. The excellence needs no more explanation. In Kanye's own words, this was his backhanded apology for the controversy he stirred at the time. The lyrics are filled with classic braggadocious Kanye (e.g. the "blackball" line). They were hilarious when it was first released, but nowadays, seeing Kanye's downward spiral into neo Nazi politics, the egoistic lyrics are not fun to listen to anymore. Rather, they just make me question how serious those lyrics were, how much of them were Kanye saying things for shock value and how much were him just being a terrible person. It takes away a lot of the enjoyment. All things above considered, I'm giving this one a six out of ten.

I did not enjoy it.

A typical blend of 80s Post-Punk and New Wave, it's great. 8/10 Although this being on here does make me wonder why "The Head on the Door" isn't on the list.

9/10 classic hip hop classic, possibly OutKast's best. Too bad this site doesn't have four and a half star as an voting option

I understand how this is meant as kind of a reaction to 80s Post-Punk trend (rather than being a part of it), but I prefer pretty much any 80s Post-Punk album

Started strong but feel a little bland in the middle.

This is the most fun I can have out of an album without understanding the album at all. It's brilliant.

This is the album I think of when I think of the genre "New Wave", it's not the best to come out of that genre, but it is a good enough representation. If I had to explain what is New Wave to my friends and family who are NOT music nerds like me, I would just play them this album.

I can't help but think of Steve Albini's 2023 twitter post while listening to this album. If punk truly is a rebellion to what this album represents, I think I understand why I am not crazy about this.

This album is THE shoegaze album, but I kind of just don't get it. Perhaps it will grow on me one day.
