Well, this is one of my favorite albums of all time, and was released the year I was born. I remember the first time I heard it, at Jeffrey’s boyfriend’s place in NYC, either 1976 or 1980. And then got deep into it as a teenage stoner.

It's a sound I really detest: white man country-tinged rock. Two stars for the musicianship.

I like the indie rock sound, and would have probably been really into it in 1990. But now it just sounds familiar to me.

Wow. Beautiful music. Would rate 4.5 on first listen. I’m interested in seeking out more FF and Father John Misty.

Another 90s rock band that seems to be looking backwards. It sounds pretty good, but I was bored. The ubiquitous hit Bittersweet Symphony was the best song on the album for me

I mean, it’s Metallica. Absolutely epic sound.

There was a time when this was a 5 for me. It was so transgressive and thrilling when it came out. Now, the rhymes sound pretty elementary and the braggadocio comes off as silly. The production is still great though, with a lot of funk to it, soul samples, and left field elements, and Dre, Cube and E all sound great on the mic.

Wow! I loved it. Rocked my face off

Not I what I was expecting at all based on the band name. They really threw all their influences in the blender on this one: psychedelica, Beatles, Stones, gospel, samples, lots of instruments, and even a proto-house track. It’s good but I also don’t want to relisten. I’m going 4 bc 3.5 isn’t an option, and I’m more positive than my usual neutral 3 rating

I was psyched for this because I’m a trip-hop fan. Oof. Torch song vocals with spacey electronics. Did not like.

Leonard Cohen is just so captivating and distinctive. I love his poetry and his delivery. The music is fairly simple and serves, basically, to present his words, which are always interesting. The Biblical allusions may largely escape me but the sense that his work rewards close listening does not.
