Because is one of my favorite Beatles songs; the run from golden slumbers to the end is insane, i never realized how much i love golden slumbers and carry that weight; also finding a new appreciation for she’s so heavy
I feel like this was a decent listening experience, and objectively I can understand why it’s good, but I just couldn’t connect with it meaningfully. My lower rating doesn’t really reflect a lack of quality I guess?
I love it because it’s Amy, but it pales in comparison to Back to Black. Not nearly as dynamic. Favorites are in my bed and Amy Amy Amy.
I loved this way more than I thought. It’s such a brilliant and cohesive album. It’s not really something I would normally be interested in sound-wise, but really made an impact. Faves: five years, starman, it ain’t easy, lady stardust, rock n roll suicide.
A rough listen for me, and a good example of how I’m sure there will be many albums on this list that are “technically good” but really don’t resonate with me. I was just bored, to be honest. Tough sell when every song on the album is either thirty seconds or ten minutes long. Some nice guitar tho, I enjoyed Mood for a Day the most out of any other song on the album.
I admittedly didn’t give this a very close listen, because I just listened to it a couple of months ago for the first time and didn’t like it, and I liked it even less this time. Way too same same for me. Doesn’t go anywhere as my dad says.
Enjoyed this more than I thought, would listen again. Bang a Gong is a classic, but I also really liked Mambo Sun and Cosmic Dancer and a few other cuts. A solid one!
Probably would not listen again, but I am always charmed by David byrne’s weirdness. Love psycho killer, and I was grooving with the first three songs. Talking heads, i can never hate you - rounding up to a three
Probably wouldn’t listen again - it’s just sooo long. There are a good number of gems here, but it’s a lot? Favorites: what is life, all things must pass, LOVE the art of dying. Eh. I don’t know George!
Understandably controversial and unfortunately really nostalgic for me (summer 05 baby!). Musically, I find it pleasing, but not overly so. Favorite songs: Boy in the Bubble, Diamonds on the Soles of her Shoes; you can call me Al.
Not sure I would listen again - I enjoyed this less than I thought I would - I really wish we could give half star reviews. Still love it for mailbu tho. Other faves: the title track (of course)northern star, and boys on the radio.
Wouldn’t listen again necessarily but i enjoyed this way more than i thought! It really rocked! Favorites were speed king and flight of the rat. Not my style but for what it is, it rules.
Would definitely turn on during work again; very nostalgic and ambient for me; Intro alone could take this all the way home, but I also like most of the other tracks just fine.
Would not listen again, kind of a tough one; California stars is nice?
Already a favorite; this album rules; favorites: train in vain, lost in the supermarket, guns of Brixton, clampdown.
Probably wouldn’t listen again; not too bad to have on in the background at work, but not really my style, i think my favorite songs were the first and last
Would listen again; have always loved Green Day’s sound and this album came out right as i started college so the nostalgia is high; plus i just like it anyway! Favorites: Holiday, boulevard of broken dreams, st. Jimmy, American idiot.
Would definitely listen again; took me a long time to come around to Nirvana, but now I think I’ve achieved the requisite suffering to appreciate it and these guys really rock; favorites: in bloom, come as you are, something in the way. Oh Kurt, what could have been!
Would listen again; an incredibly pleasant surprise; just real nice tunes; favorites: darkness darkness, smug, sham.
Wouldn’t listen to again all the way through, but would always listen to the bangers; nostalgic but not Mariah’s best; favorites: honey, butterfly, breakdown might be my favorite Mariah song of all time
I did not like this at all thanks
Would probably listen again; too bad Eric Clapton is a weird, because this does rock pretty hard, though not a no-skip for me; favorite songs: sunshine of your love, strange brew; tales of brave Ulysses
Would listen again - a truly most pleasant surprise. Maybe in my old age, I’m becoming comfortable with the idea of treating jazz as a journey and not a destination. Favorites: Moon Dreams, Venus de Milo, Israel.
Didn’t really care for this and would not listen again - city of fun was kind of ok? Rounding up from a 1.5 here.
A favorite and would always listen to again…loved this album so much in law school. Was so excited to get it and it delivered. First half of the album is my favorite, and electric feel is a forever banger. Really a 4.5 for me.
Would listen again as ambient music; an interesting experience; tough to pick favorites but i liked floating along with this in general
Would listen again; even a mediocre Queen album gets high marks from me - i could listen to Freddie sing about anything anywhere. Favorites: bohemian rhapsody, death on two legs; you’re my best friend
Would listen again; damn this was fun; a well deserved round up from 3.5; favorites: shining star, africano
Would listen again - took me back to being a teenager!
Would listen again, definition of cool, get up and dance! Favorites: Freddie’s dead, superfly, Pusherman
Would not listen again, but rounding up to three; objectively I’m interested, subjectively I don’t like it; his voice doesn’t always work for me again. Favorites: straight to you, brother my cup is empty, when i first came to town.
So far outside of my comfort zone but I really had a good time with this while I was shoveling snow. Favorites: soubour, irganda, jolie
Would listen again; extremely good vibes, really more like 4.5; favorites: that lady, summer breeze, but every song really kind of slaps!
I considered giving this a four, but listen - these are the sounds of my adolescence, and this is a no-skip album for me. “Get Me Away From Here, I’m Dying” is one of the finest songs ever written. I understand why other people don’t vibe with this, but I love love love it.
Wouldn’t listen again - I don’t think I get LCD Soundsystem like other people do. My favorite song was when this album
looped into dance yrself clean 😂
Maybe would listen again. I dig this, but I don't LOVE it. The Message is of course a classic, and the rest is pretty good. Some of hip hop culture REALLY has not aged well, though. And by that I mean the rampant homophobia.
Wouldn't listen again. Turns out I don't really like this album. Song 2 is fantastic, and I liked a couple of others, but overall kind of a dud for me. A couple of songs sounded like the Smiths, and not in a good way?
Probably would not listen again but I recognize this is objectively pretty good ; favorite song is probably been down so long; maybe i just don’t like the doors? Low 3
Would not listen again; I was genuinely excited for this but it underwhelmed me. The Y2K of it all has aged poorly. What it feels like for a girl is still an excellent song. This is a straight up two.
Would listen again; just a simple, fun and good album that I would have loved when I was heavy into the clash, the specials, etc. in my teenage years. A high three that I’m rounding up to a four. Faves: English rose, all mod cons into to be someone
Would always listen again; is it objectively a four? Maybe not, but for me it is; love the loaf’s voice and these instrumentals are crazy; faves: paradise by the dashboard light, two out of three ain’t bad, bat out of hell
Would listen again; Stevie is making music on a plane that the rest of us simply cannot understand; this isn't his best album, but it is quite good and thoughtful. Low 4. Faves: Smile Please, Creepin, They Won't Go When I Go
Surprised that l liked this and would listen again, apparently i love weird melancholy. Low 4. Faves: the stranger song, sisters of mercy, one of us cannot be wrong.
Probably wouldn’t listen again but still a low 3; a nice little pop punk Brit album where songs are under 2 minutes and very 90s nostalgia. Faves: connection, car song, stutter, see that animal
Gonna be honest - I did not hate listening to this. Dare I say I had fun? SLAYER!!!!! Raining blood is an awesome song. I’m giving it a solid three and I’m not ashamed.
Probably wouldn’t listen again, but not BAD; it was great for zoning out in the car for a while; a solid 2.5 i think? Faves: hooting and howling, we’ve still got the taste…
Would not listen again but man Elton can belt; tiny dancer!; rest was kind of blah. A high two?
Might listen again, but not my favorite from Eminem; heavy on the nostalgia, even now I find the lyrics to some of these songs kind tough to swallow, but his flow is undeniable. A pretty solid three. Faves: My Name Is, If I Had, I'm Shady, Just Don't Give a Fuck, Bad Meets Evil, Still Don't Give a Fuck.
Not really my thing. Reminds me of medieval woods. Low two, but I’m sure they are all wonderfully talented musicians, so sorry it’s not my bag, guys; faves: cold mountain (which I’m not even sure was on the original release?)
The Foundation for the music I loved as a teenager and so I have to give it a three. Fun, chaotic, goofy. Faves: i really like the first two-three song run
Sorry Bruce, not your finest.
Surprisingly would listen again, this is a really fun guitar album. Solid to high three. Faves: waitin for the bus, Jesus just left Chicago, La grange
Probably would not listen again, but it is Queen, so still a good rock album. Low three. Faves: white queen
I need to give this another listen, but this is the kind of music that I love listening to during work. A low three for now!
I was underwhelmed at first, but the back half of this album really picked up. Love the album cover and this has always been one of my favorite album names. A surprise three. Faves: Pistol of Fire, Milk, The Bucket, Four Kicks.
I find Elvis costello’s music pleasant if not always groundbreaking. I liked this, didn’t love it. First couple of songs are my faves!
I am a Led Zeppelin fan - this, however, if not my favorite Led Zeppelin album. Kashmir rules! I give this a three. Also love In My Time of Dying and Houses of the Holy. You don't have to make every song ten minutes you guys! It's ok!
I did not care for this. Was much more interested in the instrumentals then the music. A low two. Bullet train to Vegas was kinda fun?
Kinda like being in a sound bath.
So emotionally overwhelming in the best way possible. It’s not perfect, but I don’t care. Faves: the man comes around, hurt, in my life, I’m so lonesome i could cry
I wasn’t sure about this, but there is something keeping me at a low three.
Would absolutely listen again, but minus one for skits and slurs. And diddy. I’m always struck by how dark
Biggie’s music is - he really was such a good storyteller
Might not listen again, but i liked it more than i thought I would. I’d give this a low three - not sure what my favorites were, it all kind of blended together, but i found many more pleasant moments than unpleasant
Still startlingly relevant. Faves: A letter to the New York post; bring tha noize.
Would listen again - not a no skip album for me, but just soooo damn good. A very high four. Faves: purple haze, manic depression, foxey lady, highway chile, red house.
Would listen to some of it again - this is an interesting experiment, sometimes misses the mark, sometimes really really hits - Clint eastwood, 19-2000. Low three?
Would not listen again; first couple of songs were ok but the rest not my thing; high two?
A low three high two that I’ll round up. Not my cup of tea, but i can appreciate some of it. Faves: yes, pcp.
A rip roaring good time indeed. Imagine this being your debut album? Cheeeezzzz. Faves: Black Sabbath, A bit of finger…
Meandering, but would listen again. I get why this so such a big deal. It gets a high four from me. Faves: 21st century schizoid man, the court of the crimson king.
A fun romp, not their best, but I still had a good time. Maybe would listen again? Not sure. Faves - the classic karma chameleon of course, church of the poison mind, miss me blind. Solid three.
Today I learned that I can’t tolerate Van Morrison’s voice for more than two songs in a row? I expected to love this, and did not.
Would listen again - was strangely charmed by thus! Faves: perfect day, walk on the wild side
Listened to this a bunch at work, would listen again, very boppy and got me in the mood to work!
Good not great. Love I’ll be around and the one. Low 3
Would listen again. It may be a little same same, but the electricity is undeniable. Low four. Faves: hard times, rock box
Not a u2 fan, best songs are the singles. Would nott listen again!
Oof. Violently homophobic and sexist, but unfortunately kind of rules. Drug Ballad is a forever jam for me. and Bitch Please II. It's a four.
A classic - What's going on, mercy mercy me, and inner city blues are the best. I really like it, would listen again, but it's not a true five for me. Just a little too...something.
A two ish? I wouldn't listen again. It wasn't as out-there as I expected. Jumpin Jack Flash isn't too bad on the sitar!
A good one, but not a great one. Medium three. Faves: immigrant song, and i have always loved tangerine for some reason.
I’m being generous. This album sounds exactly like what it is, which is a bunch of aholes taking a ton of weird drugs and trying to record an album. Even the beautiful people didn’t hit as hard as i remember! Alas and alack.
Would listen again. I loved some of these songs so much - sleep to Dream is just one of the best, and criminal and shadowboxer are great too. Overall, there are some parts that drag for me, but Fiona has such a cool voice. I give it a strong 4. Fave songs are the singles and carrion.
I enjoyed this more than I thought. A high three!
Luckily, i realized i could listen to Ella Fitzgerald sing the phooey book for three + hours
Admittedly didn’t give this my full attention but i think it’s just ok. Always love imagine. Straight 3
Medium but not unpleasant. Sun hits the sky was my favorite track. Low three.
Great background music but didn’t grab me. Love brown sugar and lady. A low ish three.
A high two, because i really hate these vocals. Musically not bad. Favorites - pretty in pink; so run down. Would not listen again.
Would listen again; insidiously good; too bad Winn butler is such a PoS; low four. Faves: sprawl II, but i like this as a whole
Would listen again; reminds me of my mom; Jim has such a way about him! Faves: break on thru, light my fire, twentieth century fox; the end
Would listen again; no such thing as a bad Queen album; will always love killer queen so so much - other faves were stone cold crazy and in the lap of the gods.
Probably wouldn’t listen again, i found myself kinda bored…on the other hand, i can objectively get why people like this - solid 3
Joni is best in small doses for me, but this was lovely in a lot of ways. A high three. Faves: help me, raised on robbery, down to you
Would listen again - a high 4. Not the best prince album but a very very good one. Faves: 1999, little red corvette, delirious, free
A solid three. There is something about this bob guy! Favorites are the first three songs
This slapped pretty damn hard. Hugh four. Man Eddie could rip!!!
For my mama, always and forever
Neat not totally my thing
A puzzling experience. Low three? Might revisit
This was a very nice experience as I drove to the jail. Pleasant surprise.
Not a huge fan, some of the more upbeat songs reminded me of the smiths in a good way. High two
I get why people don’t like this, but i must insist that it is awesome. Heard it through the grapevine? Wow.
This was awesome. Walk on by is great. High 4
Puzzled on this one. A high three?
Can’t say i cared for this
Puzzled as to what to give this. Really kind of zoned out…maybe a low 3?
I didn’t care too much about this, i guess it was ok? Low three
Nostalgic! It’s better to burn out then fade away! Still not my favorite.
Talk about nostalgia! Man this did something for me. A low 4. Faves are dig me out, one more hour, and little babies. Would listen again.
Wouldn’t listen again, didn’t hold my attention …i guess a low three??
A true five through and through. Miss you Amy!!
Just because you can doesn’t mean you should!
Liked more than i thought i would!
High three. Really hit on a hot humid cloudy day
Woof man. Like if Shawn Mullins made lullabye into a whole album but bad.
This rules - war pigs, paranoid, iron man….thanks for it all, oz ❤️
Whatever, i like the eagles and this album reminds me of my parents. You can check out any time you like but you can neverrrrr leave….stuck between a high 3 and low 4, I’ll round up and call it a day
A high three- some real classics here, but i can’t say I’d readily return to this album
A low four based mostly on my goodwill from these guys. Not my fave Depeche Mode work but still very interesting
I think i gotta give this a four! Born on the bayou is my favorite ccr song.
Pry this album from my cold dead millenial hands!
Can’t believe i didn’t know about this banger
Difficult tho he may have been, this man’s voice takes me places. High three.
Like this better than the other Blur album, I’m actually surprised at how much I’m enjoying this. So far Girls& Boys is a highlight, I also strangely really like To The End
This woman’s work pushes this to a 4 for me. Low 4 but a 4 nonetheless. Really pretty stuff.
Unfortunately i do love morrissey despite his many many many shortcomings.
A very good album that falls just short of great imo. Under the bridge is a forever classic, but i love breaking the girl. High three
Forever. Happy birthday mom
Great album but you need to be in the right mood because…it’s a lot. Lullaby will forever be one of my favorite cure songs
A low three. My least favorite Christina effort, but points for ain’t no other man and candyman and vocals generally
Great album, not perfect- but so many classics. Faves: wonderwall, don’t look back in anger, champagne supernova
This was weird and i liked it. High three!
Holy y2k i give it a high three!
Yeahh i don’t think i get it. I tried! Sorry Dr. John.
This album had me in a chokehold freshman year of high school. It doesn’t hit quite as hard now, but it’s a great album, and nostalgia pushes it to an easy 4
People are haters! This is is fun!
Still finding their footing here i think, but my generation is a classic tune. Solid 3
Can’t say i cared for this
A smattering of decent stuff (i love what it takes!) but not their finest. Mid to high three
I didn’t really like this until halfway through, but there is something that weirdly pulls me to our friend Lou. How Do You Think It Feels is great!
A very high three but not quite cracking a 4 for me.
Made me feel like i was underwater or being hypnotized or both. Excellent experience.
I definitely get why this is so important…just not my thing sadly. I am hopelessly uncool. A low three because i do get it.
A banger of a high four. I might revisit.
Some classics - enter sandman, the unforgiven, nothing else matters - but the rest is a little same same for me. Straight 3
The bangers are really good - low four. I’m rounding up because of good memories
A couple of these songs really hit, but overall, a meh?
Hey so turns out i love this album!
High three, i liked this! Good job rod stewart
