I’ve heard this album before and really enjoyed it. First time listening on my new headphones though and being able to hear more of the intricacies and more oomph with the base felt like listening to it for the very first time. Halftime stood out to me on this listen as my favorite.

Different Class
Pulp
Not my genre of music but I liked it for what it is. Probably a one and done listen. I can’t pinpoint any exact criticisms but I can’t see how this could be named the 6th greatest album of all time.

Started off really strong and I was thinking I’d rate it a 4, but it kinda lost its momentum towards the end for me. Though it was an awesome album to listen to with snowfall outside.

I was really excited when I saw this come up bc I know of the one song from the Harry Potter movie. But this album didn’t jump out to me in any special way. A lot of the songs sounded the same to me.

Not the sound I was expecting AT ALL. It doesn’t feel like a “rock” album until Medication. Burning Wheel as the opener had my mouth agape. Crazy soundscape, I was transported to a semi-psychedelic world.

This album kinda proved to me that I’m just not a fan of psychedelic rock music like this. There were a few tracks here and there that I liked, like Fancy and Sunny Afternoon. Loved the horn on Dead End Street. But I know for I fact I won’t listen to this album again, thus a 2.

100% not what I was expecting based off the wiki info. Kinda into it at first but then it got annoying, especially the last song. Probably wouldn’t listen again but giving a 3 as it’s got such a unique sound.

The guitar solo song knocked this down to a 2 as it was the worst song out of all these albums combined. The rest of the album is nice and I liked the jazzy, big band feel for a rock album but the guitar solo really ruined it for me.

This album totally blew me away. I rolled my eyes when I first saw prog rock and 1969, but every track surprised me in the instrumentation, the soundscapes. As soon as the title track started, I knew it would be a 5. Loved every single track and the big cohesive world they built within this album. I can’t think of anything else like it.

I liked willow, and Aaron’s production. Bon iver’s inclusion ruined the end of the album for me. Normally I give 2 stars to albums I know I won’t listen to again, but giving this a 3 as it was more cohesive in sound than other albums I’ve given a 2.
