I've loved Eddie Vedder's voice since first hearing "Alive", and later "Into The Wild". His voice conveys pure, raw emotion, making it perfect for storytelling.

This album took me back to 90s old school hip hop. Great album from start to finish.

I went into this not knowing what to expect and was pleasantly surprised. I didn't understand the lyrics, but was impressed by the instrumentals and vocals.

I wanted to like this but the first couple of songs weren't for me. It started getting good from "You and Whose Army?" but not great. The album overall felt incomplete. I think a couple of songs will grow on me with time.

Just seconds into the first song, I knew immediately I would love this album. Loved the vibe and vocals. Very well done.

Beautiful vocals but the album didn't excite me until the last couple of songs. "Raised on Robbery" really woke the album up and was by far the best track.

I was expecting better. Some catchy hooks but mostly just noise at times.

Great, upbeat album. Loved the vocals and how well suited the different singing styles were to each song. Guitars and drums on this record were great

What a voice. What a performer. Wish I could've seen him live

I feel like this album will grow on me with time. There are some great songs on here, perfect for late night drives

Never heard of the band so I went into this not knowing what to expect. Wikipedia had the album listed as alternate dance, so I wasn't expecting to like it as much as I did. The singer has a unique voice and the music felt almost ethereal at times. They almost lost me at the first 7 minute (mostly instrumental) track ... Does any album really need two 7 minute long (again, mostly instrumental and repetitive) tracks?? Idk but I liked the second one better than the first for sure. Overall it was a great album

Feels like I've just entered the toilets at a fun African restaurant, and life is good

Voice like butter

Some really good songs on here. "Bombsite Boy" and "Gary Gilmore's Eyes" really stood out for me, and I'll likely revisit the album again for these songs. Some tracks felt like filler but maybe they'll grow on me

The first half of the album had me questioning why this record was chosen for this list. He saved in the second half.

Great live album. Great vocals.. I just don't think the 16 minute drum solo was needed though

I could listen to this all day

This album goes so hard

The music made for a chilled listening session, but the vocals were underwhelming at times, and didn't captivate my attention. "So Long, Marianne" was the best song on the album. I feel like I could've got more out of the album had I paid more attention to the lyrics, but for a first listen, I'd say 2/5.

Very chilled album. No fillers

The music itself was chill but it was hard to get past the lyrics which were mostly cringey. The vocals were boring at times which didn't help either

Nice, chilled, comforting sound, but didn't wow me

Instrumentals were great. "Are you ready eddy?" was a fun track to finish with

Unique sound and great debut. Some songs didn't connect with me but I think they'll grow on me with time

I loved every track on this record. It didn't disappoint. The guitar and drums were insane

Good lighthearted album. Really enjoyed some of the slower songs

Instruments were all insane. I just couldn't get past the vocals. Seemed annoying at times

The songs didn't resonate with me at first. Tracks like Cheree felt like they were on the verge of something great but didn't quite get there. The lyrics were odd, and seemed almost improvised. I decided to listen again to see if I was missing something. I preferred it the second time around and was more aware of the influences drawn from this record that were present in albums by other musicians. For that reason, I'll give it a 3

Classic synth pop at its finest. I feel like this would've been groundbreaking at the time of release

Great album. Loved the guitars. It's just a shame reading the reviews is how I found out Eric Clapton is/was a racist :/

Great album, full of energy, but the vocals came across exaggerated and pretentious at times

The guitars were sick. I loved every track. Technically an EP so it shouldn't be on this list but glad I was introduced to this record and band

My friend's a fan so I went into this expecting it to be good. I had only heard Our House prior to this and found the the other tracks were a fun listen, although borderline racist?

Music was good but felt like the songs dragged on here and there

Creating a song game made up of tape loops of studio recording errors is genius. The songs are great, very diverse and I'll definitely be listening again

Sounds like they were drunk when they recorded this haha I liked the first half

There were parts of songs that I liked, but as a whole felt too long and sounded quite repetitive

Smooth voice and a lot of heart

Some of the subject matter was questionable but I liked the overall vibe

Good album but the songs started sounding the same after a while

The singles are timeless. It's the first time I've heard the rest of the album and loved it

Not something I would normally listen to. Their vocals compliment each other very well, and there's some good songs on here but I wouldn't consider it an album you must listen to before you die

Some of the songs are fun, but the vocals aren't all there. I wouldn't consider it a "must listen"

Alright this took me on a whole ride Track 1 - music for drinking wine to Track 2 - Trippy music that feels like you're in a colourful trance Track 3 - it's giving "drinking out of a coconut with an umbrella in it" vibes Track 4 - Feels like you're running but not getting anywhere

This is the second R.E.M. album I've heard from this list now. Great vocals and will definitely be relistening in the future

A little odd at times lyrically. Decent vocals but got boring

Feels like I'm right there in the jazz club with them, sat at the bar

The album artwork has not been executed well. The spacing is annoying me but aside from that.. there are some classics on this album, and it's clear that it influenced music that followed. Feel like I'm driving around listening to the radio on GTA San Andreas

Some good songs here and there but got boring very quickly

Fantastic album. I always struggled to get into Springsteen but this album did it for me. I'll definitely be relistening to this

Starting an album with news reports of your shooting is iconic

The soundtrack is so good it makes me want to watch the film

I didn't expect to like this as much as I did. This would be great for long drives

Great voice. Great album. Had a melancholy vibe to it

The Kinks are always a fun time and this album was no exception. Great, upbeat songs

So chilled but can't see myself playing it again

Unique voice and good vibes, but the songs felt a bit too long

Nothing groundbreaking, but it's a good listen

The teenage angst in me will always love songs like these

Such a fun album

I just couldn't get into it. It was good at times but each song was too long

Good album but it started to sound the same a couple songs in. The last song was a nice change

Refreshing album that I know will grow on me with more listens

Love the wailing guitars on this record
