Steal from everyone to craft the perfect rock album.
2 okay songs do not make up for this 1-hit wonder.
Amazing at times and also bizarre and unsettling.
Honestly I feel like I'm being generous because some of this album was very cringe, did not age well. The stand out track is the timbaland feature.
Not a big fan. Generic 80s sounding pop with at times poor vocal performance. Maybe this was transformative at the time but for today, it's not great.
4 classic singles that still get a lot of play today, and for good reason. This is a great rock album.
Absolutely beautiful. Raw emotion.
Timeless classic. Objectively good. Doesn't get much better.
Kanye DNA. nearly 20 years later it's still solid.
Perfectly mediocre music for blue class British people.
Cool, experimental, futuristic sounding but from the 70s. Thanks, I'll never listen to it again.
Decent for a band about 25 years late to the party.
A generous review for the sake of the vocal and production for the time.
Honestly surprised I had only heard one song off this album. Solid, would listen again.
Enough great ideas for Nirvana to rip them off, not enough to get more than 3 stars.
I feel nothing, it was okay.
Honestly grating, irritating. Tolerable for a few minutes. I can't imagine listening to this album regularly.
Brilliant. Short, sweet, with a little fun and variety.
Never considered myself an Oasis fan really, but all my favorite tracks by the band are straight off this album. There's a little filler but it's pretty much a flawless record. Maybe more like a 4.5, but I'm rounding up here. 5 stars.
You can die without hearing it if you want to, I promise it's okay.
I started off thinking I'd really like this album, but by the end it felt like one really long track of noise.
A classic. One of the best hip hop albums of all time.
It's a 3. If I had to listen to it more than once that score might go down. Ebbs and flows between beautiful, haunting, and grating.
I'd like to formally apologize to the albums I've rated 1 or 2. This made me understand what an actual 1 sounds like. The fact that anyone might say this is one of the top 50 albums of the 1970s tells us how high these people actually were back then.
This is actually pretty mediocre. Not much to say.
I had no idea what to expect when I started listening to this, and I admit the start, along with the number of tracks and runtime had me concerned. I love this album. Perfect blending of styles. Punk/funk/folk, in short bursts that leave you wanting more before cutting to the next thought.
Didn't age well in some aspects but it's iconic.
Goofy shit. Some of the instrumentals are great and then they just slap obnoxious noise on top of it.
A lot of great ideas, but not something I'd listen to regularly.
I may be completely biased because Radiohead is my favorite band, but I think a 5 is justified. This band puts out a masterpiece, then undergoes a transformation and we get this. It's not for everybody, but it's certainly for me.
If I was in the room that night I'm sure it'd be a 5. What an amazing performance.
I enjoyed it but probably wouldn't listen again. There is something special about it though.
A well deserved 5. First time listening to the album in it's entirety, trying not to let the hype sway me. It's beautiful, it's timeless, you must listen.
This is the first Bob Dylan record I've listened to front to back. The vocal performance was a little irritating. I liked the bluesy tracks. I look forward to maybe hearing something older in his catalogue that makes me understand why people love him.
It's a 3.5. Off the wall, weird, surprisingly good.
It's okay! I don't have to love this just because people say this is the best rock band of all time. It's perfectly average to me, and I probably won't hear any of these songs again. They're not hits, and that's okay.
It's slightly above average and I guess a bit enjoyable.
Fantastic. Short, no filler. Except maybe that seagull track.
Had a few good moments I guess.
I just don't get the fanaticism around him. I can appreciate it for what it is, but I don't really want to listen to it again.
Debut album with most of the QOTSA sound. I'd never heard it before but it was better than I'd expected. That being said, it pales in comparison to some of their later works.
My first Leonard Cohen album. He has a great voice, but it's a bit boring.
This shit is depressing. Beautiful, haunting, sad.
Cut the vocals and it might be like a 4. Honestly atrocious. I think I hate The Fall?
Beautiful and relaxing. I took a little nap.
Can't believe I've never heard this before. Loved it. Not much to say beyond that. Kinda felt like being a band kid hearing a profound piece of classical music for the first time.
Fantastic album. It's hipster bullshit, and I like it.
2/5 for the tracks that are somewhat tolerable. That means the ones that have structure, the ones that aren't purely weird noises and tracks that abruptly end with no real resolution. I wouldn't encourage anyone to listen to this album in full.
It's okay. There's some hits I never much cared for and some mediocre stuff.
Fantastic. Feel good music.
Sounds like one big song, broken up by a brief cover.
An interesting turn off of what in my opinion is one of the greatest albums of all time. No standout singles but nothing bad either. It's good, I just won't find myself going back to it.
Heavy, edgy, political. The songs I could understand at least. It's not life changing, but it's good.
Another "shut up and take your 4 moment".
I wouldn't say I love it or that I had to hear it, but it was nice. 3.5
It's probably more like a 4.5 but this album deserves the bump. Lots of standout tracks. Worth a few listens. Handful of non-singles that make my Liked songs.
He's like Bob Dylan but better. And that's not really a great thing from my perspective but I think it's true, and probably just inflammatory enough of a thing to say to make some people upset. That's just like, my opinion though.
Insane iconic flow. A couple hits that aren't going anywhere. And then there's the bad. The skits are corny, the content didn't age well. If I put myself back in time, it's still a 4/5.
I found it so incredibly boring. I started reading reviews and saw plenty of 5s talking about Sweet Jane being their favorite. I had hope. Nah fam, it's more of the same. On to the next.
It's not perfect, but for what it is, it's pretty great.
Fantastic album. I have nostalgia for this album, it came out when I was 5 years old. I heard these songs on the radio, my parents owned the CD. My DAD wanted to listen to this. I get her voice isn't for everyone, but you're insane if you give this album a 1/5.
That being said I was stuck between 4 and 5 here, so I'm rounding up just because it really holds up, and if you listen to the 2015 remasters rather than what is linked here, it just sounds a bit better for those complaining about the dated mix.
UK version. 3.5. Rounding down because it was a bit boring. Had only heard one song before, not quite memorable.
It's borderline 5 but not his best. Feel good music.
I'm sure this was pretty ground breaking back then, but when i heard the live album kick off after listening to the whole double album, I panicked and closed spotify.
It's cool. Hits with staying power in a 33 minute package. That being said, it's not like it's incredible or anything. It's probably like a 3.5 but I'm rounding down in this case.
Grew on me as I listened. The lead track was a journey. Very cool album.
Gotta love people calling these songs covers.
Good music to do manual labor to. I was a little bored already anyway.
I wasn't crazy about it but I respect her talent. It's just was a bit too generic 80s.
Incredible live performance. What a treat it must have been to see live. It's not perfect, but it's raw and powerful. Also Pearl jam sucks.
Found it pretty boring. Not much to say.
Repetitive. Maybe transformative for the time. Doesn't hold up today.
It's a fuckin journey my guy.
It's like a 4.5. Fantastic album, has staying power. Most of his best are right here.
It's pretty sick but I feel confident that I'll never listen to it again.
I can't do it. I can't listen to this album. I'm giving it a 3 just to be fair to the ratings but I cannot stand this shit. I didn't even make it through the first song.
I didn't really know what to expect, I think maybe I've heard a track off this before, and covers of the title track. I was pleasantly surprised. This is my first album by them, and I understand the hype.
It's like being edged for 43 minutes and it's over.
I actually really liked it. More so than the last Todd Rundgren album I was subjected to. Delightfully above average.
Big fan of the instrumentals after the "hits". Solid and interesting stuff.
Better when you're fucked up, I'm sure.
Fantastic and fresh sounding funk album from the early 90s. Easily one of the best of that decade.
