Much like Meryl Streep's relationships with Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin in a hit 2000's movie, it's complicated.

Despite all my rage, this album is still a Dave fave

It's fun to hear Elton and Bernie not deliberately trying to write "hits".

This is more interesting than I thought it would be going in but still not great.

I get it but it's not for me. I prefer the watered down version (Coldplay).

Went into this blind. Really fun! Cool merging of brit pop, new wave, and a little jazz.

I like the idea of Megadeth. I don't like Megadeth.

I hear the influences on modern music but I also didn't enjoy listening to this.

Me and Hilary down by the schoolyard

I like the beats. This would be better if it was all instrumental.

This kind of rips. So much better than Peace Sells.

The singles are solid but most of the album sounds like a bad soundtrack to a mid movie

Gets better each listen. Stylish vibes without being over the top. Sexy Boy is not great but the rest of the album makes up for it.

Exactly as described. If I heard this in an airport, it would probably brighten my mood.

Some cool ideas here but this isn’t for me. Maybe if I watched Wizard of Oz or something I would feel differently. Probably not though.

Can’t imagine a scenario where I would want to put this on again.

A bit uneven but some pleasant surprises. Real 2003 energy

Pleasant but nothing really stood out to me.

So awesome. When I was younger, I thought Nine Inch Nails was just clinks and clanks but this is powerful. Ending on a cover of Hurt is a flex and works so well.

Pleasant! Wouldn’t mind this on in the background while doing work

I did not enjoy listening to this. Maybe someone else would, but there are no vibes here.

Interesting album and almost feels timeless. Not sure if I would go back to it anytime soon though

Enjoy the psychedelic parts of this but way too up and down for me

Hard pass!

A compilation album that doesn’t feel like a compilation album. Super cool.

This album is a mood but I don’t see myself going back to it.

Had to leave off a star for the lack of Kokomo

I’d like to think that even in 1957 I would have found this corny as hell

This is more of a 2.5 but rounding up because I would be delighted if this was playing in a coffee shop or between sets at a concert.

Too corny for my liking but generally well done. Needs more shredding.

A+ cover art. Some interesting elements of punk in this but still somehow bland.

First song rips but the rest of the album is really average to miss.

The mix of funk and pop generally works alongside stellar production. It’s easy to see why he is a legend.

Solid debut album. Nothing particularly stands out here but that’s not a bad thing

Lots of killer and little filler. Surprised I liked this as much as I did. I don’t think I’ll be going back to it any time soon but am glad I listened to it.

Maybe not the worst band in the world, but definitely not good.

Really uneven but there is enough that clicks here.

Feels like I’m walking into an art gallery and I’m not really sure what I’m looking at. I go to art galleries all of the time.

Really cool and innovative but if I’m being honest, I don’t really connect with it. Triumph of a Heart almost pushed me to give this an extra star though cause that’s a solid beat.

Skate punk classic

Solid album! No real stand out songs but I would be happy to listen to this again if someone put it on.

Gimme Shelter is a stone cold classic. The rest of this is pretty good.

There were parts I like but a lot I couldn’t mess with.

Despite all my rage, this album is still a Dave fave

The singles are so good that it kind of drowns out the rest of the album. But the rest isn’t bad!

Booooooooooooring

Good background music

It’s loud but not enough jams

Not as advertised. These songs are all sad.

Really fun power pop! A few songs drag but more bangers than not.

Boring! Psychedelic noodling is the worst kind of noodling.

I don’t know what to do with this

Much like Meryl Streep's relationships with Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin in a hit 2000's movie, it's complicated.

Fun and vibey

Lots of interesting ideas here and while it doesn’t always work or drags at times, it’s a great listen

Production is solid but this doesn’t click for me

I like a lot of parts of this album and I really don't like a lot of parts of this album.

Snooze

Better than I thought this would be!

Not all of this works for me but the parts that do are undeniable
