Not my thing. I enjoyed some of the musical compositions but the lyrics felt...juvenile? A second album in a row that I'm having a hard time connecting with. While I try not to get.too critical about others' opinions on something as subjective as music, reading some of the critiques (both professional and not) the first thing that came to mind was pretentious hipster music. I think I'm actually more frustrated with reviews of the album than the album itself.

This is a cheat for my first album as I was already a huge Billy Joel fan. :)

Not a fan. The music is so subdued, I don't feel a connection to it. I don't find the lyrics anything special either.

What is like about classical country music is the stories they tell and Dolly Parton is a masterful storyteller. From the innocence and optimism of the title track to the loss of innocence in "If I Lose My Mind" her songs find a way to reach the listeners.

Al Green's vocals are so smooth. Album only had 9 songs and it felt way too short, which is the only negative thing I can say about it.

No

This is a wild ride - kind of like a heavier version of The Doors on more drugs and I'm here for it. The music is raw and you can feel the mania and while the lyrics are pretty nonsensical, Iggy Pop's gritty vocals make you not really care and makes you want some of whatever he's on. I got introduced to Iggy much later in my musical development but I'll definitely be coming back to this album.

Pixies have such an eclectic sound. While not in my normal rotation I enjoy when they do pop up.

The beginning of hip-hop's mainstream recognition. I miss when enunciation was as much a part of the genre as the beats.

The kind of music I expect to hear when I'm on hold when they clearly want me to hang up.

Musically uninspiring and thematically it's been done better by others.

Prefer the "B-Sides" on this one to the ones that got more airplay.

Reminiscent of a lot of 90s alt rock. Not horrible but I'd rather listen to Toad the Wet Spocket, Better than Ezra, or REM. The music from those bands connected more with me.
