Is it going to be on regular rotation throughout the year? No. Is it an excellent Christmas album I will throw on 11 months from now? Definitely. Festive 🎄

A classic. Soulful. Listened on a rainy drive and the vibes were perfect. Highlights: Let’s Stay Together (obviously), How Can You Mend a Broken Heart, It Ain’t No Fun to Me

If there were half stars, this would be a 3.5 for me. Loved the title track. Like the kinks but this album didn’t resonate as much for me. If I’m going to listen to a 60s concept album, it has to be Sgt. Pepper’s. This doesn’t have the re-playability for me.

I’m glad this came up on a day I wasn’t busy because I was not expecting a 3 hour listen. Her voice is phenomenal but it didn’t feel like one “album” or original work of art, since it’s covering other songs. Don’t love all the source material.

Glad this popped up after yesterday’s behemoth. Fun and quick.

Was surprised to have to listen to this on YouTube? Not available on Spotify or Apple Music. Fun and groovu

Excellent. Love the white stripes. Love jack white

This would be a 3 1/2 if half stars were here. I didn’t dislike it, but too many tracks for not enough wow factor.

Enjoyed this a lot.

This album played at least daily in our college apartment. Still love it as much as I did then. Very nostalgic and I think it’s the best frank ocean album still.

It’s called “club classics” but I would be sad if a club was playing this.

Enjoyed it overall. Faster listen than Who’s Next, even if maybe not as many great songs

It’s Elvis. It’s fine. The upbeat songs are a lot more enjoyable than the croon-y ones.

I love the smiths. I like some depressing Morrissey.

I liked playing smoke on the water on guitar hero in 2008. But dang. This was a lot of guitar solos. A lot of drum solos. I don’t particularly love a ton of 11 minute tracks

I’ve honestly never actively listened to the Grateful Dead. I really liked this album.

I like 80s alternative and this had that sound. Good album overall

Sounds kinda like early Beatles. Not bad but nothing really is a stand out track

I’d never listened to this album through but knew many of the songs already. It’s got some bangers

Enjoyed it even if it’s a little one note. Not a ton of track variety. 3 1/2 star feel for me. First hip hop album that’s come up here which was nice for variety

While being very of the time, it still feels fresh. A nostalgic and solid concept album

I think every Elton John song I know is from this album. Fun and a good listen.

I’ve never been into Radiohead. This did not get me to like Radiohead. Droning vocals and robot noises over repetitive lo fi music.

I don’t like bridge over troubled waters but I like all other tracks: Simon and Garfunkel are a solid 4 for me

All instrumental. Big band-y upbeat jazz. Each track was really short. A fast and enjoyable listen.

Tonight, Tonight, Bullet with Butterfly Wings, and 1979 are songs that are nostalgic just from being someone who has listened to alternative radio for a long time. But I’m learning I really am not into 2 hour albums. More is not better, just more. I feel very neutrally about this.

Very 80s, very dance-y. A fun album. The only track I didn’t love is All The Critics Love U in New York. That one dragged on a bit. But 1999 is a great song and it was a cohesive album

Bluesy rock and roll. A very Americana sound for a British band. Not what I think of when I think about the Stones but enjoyed it a lot

I didn’t know this artist. Did not know what to expect and then heard the first 30 seconds and thought “oh this is very country.” Country’s not my thing, but it wasn’t too bad. Some tracks I would rate 2, some 3s. Averages out to an overall 2 for me.

Sounds kinda new-wave/goth. A little weird and discordant, but in a way that was interesting rather than off putting.

Nice instrumental album. Would enjoy listening in a nice restaurant.

The music is okay but the longer I listened the more dumb the lyrics felt. I get the concept of merging rock and hip hop but this did not work like the Linkin Park/ Jay Z album.

Really enjoyed this album. I liked the variety between the tracks. Starts out strong with immigrant song then had some nice more acoustic tracks.

Aggressively 80s. Exceeded my expectations however. It was fun.

Not my jam. I liked the music during Fistful of Love, but overall the vibrato/warbliness did not do it for me.

I’m not the hugest fan of 50s rock, but Buddy Holly falls under the better group of this genre.

Kinda indifferent towards this. Not bad but a little more country than my taste

Enjoyed this. Funky and soulful.

Been liking the funk albums. Didn’t blow me away, but solid and enjoyable. Made doing my taxes today much more bearable

Had never heard a Dexys Midnight Runners song before other than Come on Eileen. 80s alt vocals over a lot of horns. It’s pretty good

I love the career trajectory of this man. We listen to Doggyland affirmation song in TK each week. This album induces nostalgia for summers in college. He performed our freshman year on campus and it was a big deal.

Had never heard of this band although I immediately knew the song Alright. Fits neatly into my mental category of 90s/00s British alt rock. Felt similar to Kaiser Chiefs or Franz Ferdinand. I have a soft spot for this genre.

I like psychedelic rock as a whole and I really like Grace Slick’s voice. Some exceptional tracks and a few meh ones.

Great voice. Bluesy and every song is catchy.

An album I listened to many times as a kid and still holds up well

I love this album. Probably my favorite Arcade Fire album. It has such a full sound and no skip tracks for me.

This was ok. Pop-rock. Pretty good listen but none of the tracks really stood out to me.

I liked the acoustic tracks. Good variety of songs and it showcased Bowie’s voice well.
