I’ve always heard this record described as revolutionary and groundbreaking, but I don’t really see where people are coming from there. I enjoyed it, but I guess I just don’t “get” it

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.

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.

👍

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 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’m not the biggest fan of Van Morrison’s voice

I mostly liked the production and instrumentation. I’d say he has great flow if he didn’t mention it a million goddamn times. Also, Girls Girls Girls really sucks.

I don’t hear this style very much so this was cool

I’ve tried listening multiple times but idk why I can’t make it past the first couple of songs

i love the who

80s pop rock without too much cheese

This album has shown me that I like my hip-hop funky and soulful

Follow the Leader is great but personally I prefer Issues

Might have to come back to this since at some points I considered giving it a 5

some pretty solid classic rock

very enjoyable but I wish he employed the beat it style more often

I was originally going to give this a 2, but honestly this is a pretty cool album

Very cool 70s sound. What I enjoyed most about this was the guitar work; while it was reminiscent of bands like Creedence Clearwater Revival and the like, there’s a lot of originality in it as well.

full of melody and creativity

I really like his voice

These guys were so far ahead of their time that if I hadn’t known better I’d have thought this came out in the 90s.

I came into this not expecting much. I basically never listen to hip hop, R&B, pop, pretty much any genre you’ll find in this album. Boy was I surprised. The pacing on this record is really great, it’s up there with Mellon Collie or the White Album in terms of making a long album not seem long. Hill is also great at both rapping and singing, which isn’t a huge achievement but I always love it when rap music incorporates singing. Also I never knew That Thing was by Lauryn Hill so that came as a complete surprise to me

powerful songs and innovative guitars

better than modern country but I still can’t stand it

thought it was cool but not really up my alley

👍

way too long, I was bored at the end and I think if he had cleaned it up a bit I would’ve given it 3 stars

Pretty normal alt. rock, nothing super special about it but I liked it

I love me some classic punk rock

I like punk rock

Probably the best and most well-paced long album I’ve heard.

as someone who isn’t much into hip-hop, this album is awesome

I enjoyed this one a lot, interesting how it has a very mid 80s pop sound despite being released in ‘79

rating the law, rating the law rating the law, rating the law

really just some cool tunes to put on in the background I was excited for space shanty since the title sounded cool but I was disappointed

rem no. 5 for 5 stars
