There's a reason I switched this from a 4 to a 5: this album literally has the best song on the planet on it (AKA the title track). Slowly but surely, I am also getting used to Shine On You Crazy Diamond. God, the lyric "you were caught in the crossfire of childhood and stardom" hits deep. And so does "you stranger, you legend, you martyr." The amount of times I've replayed that part is probably longer than the actual song (/hj) Favs: Wish You Were Here, Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Have a Cigar Least Favs: N/A

I don't really listen to soul music but I'm basically all for hard rock so this was a pleasant surprise I originally didn't think this album was gonna get a very high rating, maybe a 6 or 7, but by the first two tracks I switched to an 8 to 9, and the reason I'm bumping it up to a 10 is because of ALL THE CHAOTIC SHIT THEY DO THAT MAKES THIS THING INCREDIBLE BRO??? There's this bass solo in one of the songs that makes it go really hard, they let voice cracks out during screamos to make it feel more raw, and the distorted high guitars are peak. If you like soul (or hip-hop) or hard rock, I would definitely recommend giving this album a listen. :)

I don't really listen to hip-hop but my expectations on this were still pretty high. Then the album was a flop, which lowered my expectations, which made me realize this album was actually pretty good.

Even before today, Dookie was my 2nd favorite album of all time, behind The Black Parade so this was a lovely experience.

It’s great but there are SOME songs I think are kind of mediocre.

What do you have to criticize about this? That the singer isn't exactly on key or something? It's a live performance, moron. Favs: 25 Minutes to Go, Jackson, Greystone Chapel Least Favs: N/A

I enjoyed it, but the fact that it was just 5 minute long instrumentals made it feel like a chore.

I’ve also listened to this album before! One of four albums (at least now) I’d give a 10/10.

3.5 to be exact. Definitely a fantastic album with a fantastic voice, but I can tell it's not for me and that's perfectly okay. Every track here is good enough to be in my personal playlist, but not a zero skips album, if that makes sense? I'll throw on something on here every now and again but would never give it a full listen again.

Literally sounds like if someone took a group of middle school band kids and made them play Sing, Sing, Sing (Benny's Goodman version, the best version). Not mad at it being on the list, but I don't like it...like at all, besides some swing moments.

The best song on here is 3 stars.

I was in awe from the third track and the last track was pretty good but this is NOT an essential in any way. Very tedious to get through all the BandLab production for an hour. Spend your hour on LYSFLAtH or even Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, or anything else.

wow

TOO LONG.

Never really been a fan of soul music but perhaps something might change after this.

The best albums come to you at the worst times, don't they?

Beautiful production, vocals, and harmonies. Wonderful album.

One of the best pop albums I've ever laid my ears upon.

why in gods name is this on this list

A bit of bad, but a whole lotta good. I would’ve preferred shorter songs though, but that’s just personal preference. Fav songs: I’m a Man, Sylvia, Glory Days Least fav song: I think it was Dishes but I honestly forgot

There we some parts where I was like "wait, this is peak." And there were some when I was questioning life. I enjoyed this one, though. Favs: What Have I Done to Deserve This?, Shopping, Hit Music Least Fav: King's Cross
