Before I even found out this was the band of Steve Albini, I really loved this album. Very fun noise rock with heavy elements of industrial and hardcore punk music, with production that’s raw and chaotic yet quite clear.
Normal 80s pop. There were some fun elements in this album but overall, it got boring after a while. I mostly just really like Karma Chameleon.
Joni Mitchell is a very talented singer. This isn’t an album I’d come back and listen to again, but if I saw it for like two bucks at a record shop I’d pick it up. The songs here are quite calming and beautiful, but not something I’d listen to in my free time.
Hotel California is a great song. One of the best, in my opinion. After that, I really lost interest in this album.
This one was very enjoyable. While I enjoyed Kravitz’s work prior to listening to this album, I had not really taken a deeper dive into his discography so it was pretty interesting to listen to his debut. There are some really funky basslines strewn throughout it that liven the mood even when Kravitz sings about serious topics.

I wasn’t expecting to like this album as much as I did. The weirdest songs were the ones I liked most (“Dropout Boogie”, “Electricity”, “Abba Zaba”) but the more normal tracks were still very solid blues rock songs. That genre isn’t really up my alley but ultimately as a fan of similarly weird bands such as Primus (who seem like they could have had a heavy Beefheart influence, judging by the similarities in sound I noticed) I think I’ll be checking out more from these guys.

I wasn’t able to access this album on my streaming service so I listened to their 1992 album “Nonsuch” instead. Holy crap. It was great. I loved the songwriting, the cool psychedelia, really just everything about. Really cool album and I wish I could’ve listened to “Apple Venus” (the only thing preventing me from giving 5 stars is that I listened to a different album than the one I’m rating)
I’d give it 2.5 but that’s not an option so I’ll be nice and round up to 3
Many fun songs, but really not super exciting. I might revisit it though. Favorite songs: “Barmy” “L.A.” “I Am Damo Suzuki”
A very timeless gothic rock album. 5/5
Very awesome punk album
It’s awful and I love it. Weirdly good.
Loved the first track but everything after wasn’t really all that exciting for me (except “Back In Our Minds”)
did not expect to like this as much as I did
Not a hip-hop fan but this was pretty cool. Definitely a pleasant surprise. Q-Tip has a great flow and a very diverse range of abilities.
I’ve never been too much into folk rock but I do like CSN&Y
has some nice tunes but not particularly interesting to me
Could double as Fleetwood Mac’s greatest hits album. Pretty much every song is practically a household name.
An absolute classic.
boring
The only sorta weak song on this one is Four Sticks but Going to California EASILY makes up for that
mother!
I don’t hear this style very much so this was cool
