Aqualung
Jethro TullInteresting folk prog rock. 3.5 stars if available. Aqualung, Locomotive Breath and Wind-Up are really good, middle of the album acoustic songs run together.

Perfect jazz album, what more could you want. Fantastic sound, musicians, solos, tunes.
Fantastic album. The hits are great, the throwback punk songs are fun and the instrumentals are really enjoyable. Probably a top 10 from 1994.
Great opening three songs. Drum solo opening of the mule is way too long and excessive. The back and forth Ian/Ritchie is a bit much too. When they are all jamming through songs it’s what live music is all about. When they start meandering and rambling it’s too unfocused for me.
Very nice jazz album. Easy to listen to and enjoy.
Interesting alternative album a few songs a liked quite a bit a few others I did not.
Great album, love the songwriting, production and arrangement choices. Will definitely listen many more times.
A few good funky moments but mostly repetitive filter sweeps that sound like a DAWless jammer with a Behringer 303 knockoff. How many times can I hear “around the world” in three minutes?
Very nice album. I was familiar with the singles but the entire album feels exactly like an album should, a flow, a theme and execution.
It’s The Beatles White Album.
Pleasant album. Would never have heard if not for the project.
Someone said it could be background music for a 90’s movie. I agree.
Great album. You can sense the evolution of the genre that this album kicked off. Sometimes I prefer the Di’Anno sound, most straightforward than what was to come.
Goofy until I got to “Energy Fools the Musician”, that’s the Eno I know. Through Hollow Lands is fantastic as well.
A few interesting songs, mostly not my thing.
Usually I am not a fan of primarily sample based albums and dance music in general but this is an aural delight, always new surprises coming at you. Another reviewer mentioned Paul’s Boutique and the Avalanches and I agree. An amazing array of disparate samples put together into a cohesive album.
Classic hip hop album.
I really like Vernon Reid’s playing but the songwriting is ok. Probably a 3.7 for me.
Interesting album, the ads interspersed seem revolutionary for the time. Enjoyable, with a little psychedelic turn from earlier albums.
When I first listened to this album I didn’t like the repetitive drum machine loops and Thom Yorke’s singing style. Many years later I can appreciate the music but Thom doesn’t need to make vocal sounds continually throughout the phrases. Rests and silence are music too.
I like this album far more than I thought I would. I’m not too into disco and dance but the music and the vibe are great. Much closer to funk than what I was expecting.
Interesting post punk, I’m glad it’s here as I wouldn’t have sought it out. I love the chorused guitars.
Maybe Metal’s best album?
Art rock is a tough one for me. I like when artists push boundaries but I also like listening to enjoyable music. There are quite a few moments here that remind me Pink Floyd (both 60’s era and 70’s era like Dogs) and Radiohead and there are moments that are a slog.
I didn’t realize how much ambient was on the the early Cure albums. The chorused guitars are a cliche now but it was brand new then. Also the drum machine was very innovative. I’d come back to this album.
I’m not really a hip hop fan so it’s hard to judge a lot of different albums, but Timbaland’s production, Missy’s raps, flows and tone and Busta’s guests are fantastic. The Rain is an all time classic.
I loved the title track as a kid and I still get a lot of enjoyment out of it. I appreciate the other tracks but I prefer artists like Tangerine Dream and Jean-Michele Jarre for the more experimental electronic pieces. A fun trip down memory lane for me.
Fantastic, genre defining album. I think there is still growth from here to the next Black Sabbath albums and they were still finding their feet.
Great rock and roll album, just too short!
Quite possibly the perfect folk album.
Interesting classic country album.
Real nice harmonic content for a pop album, clearly Beatles and other psychedelia inspired. Need some more listens to dig in.
Not a fan, out of tune singing and playing.
Not my brand of metal.
I enjoy the sweeping grand vistas of Robert Smith.
Great modern era folk album. Need to dig more into the catalog.
Thriller.
Interesting, contemplative album. Winter seems like a good time to get this one.
