Evocative of acid era Beatles. Loved the raining refrains making it feel like a complete piece and saving the single ("Watchtower") for the end was climatic in a satisfying way. Also enjoyed the snippets of conversation on the track. Lots of the tracks were just so long and I lost interest/the thread. Should maybe listen to again on LSD

She missed class the day they taught about love. Enjoyed the sketches, would have liked...I dunno, except for the singles I would have liked some melody. Beautiful harmonies, beautiful riffs, but it did not stick with me.

Really good beats, but man every song is like one or two clever lines on repeat. Still, always have to respect a breakup album. Starts strong, stays strong

Very sad and I know what I said about respecting breakup albums but I just can't get over the fact that Beck's an asshole

If you only listen to one Boston album make it this one because it may or may not be the only one! It has all the songs on it. Classic 70s Dad-Rock. Wicked rockin

These sweet soft boys, thinking they can end a war with harmonies

Jaunty and fun and a little grimy, like the gutterpunk art kid you knew in undergrad who turned out to be nice after all. Prominant bass riffs, and playful vocals.

I'm not trying to be a hater for the sake of hating Swifties but this album, even (taylor's version) doesn't feel written so much as engineered. The electric drum kits boom boom bat us through focus-grouped pop bangers. There's a ton of hits on this album, but they all just sound flat.

From the squealing feedback right off the bat this album announces it is going to be quick and dirty. "We Are Gonna Be Friends" feels so innocent it's nearly out of place but it is a nice grace from otherwise hard, fast tracks

It does have quite possibly the best Bowie single on it ("Sound and Vision") and I get it, bRiAn EnO tHo, but like...it's a lot of soundscapy bleepin and bloopin. Powerfully haunting at time but start-to-finish? Not the BEST of Bowie

Funk foundation! I love the lackadaisical friends-hanging-pit vibe and the iconic "We Want the Funk" was asked for and delivered. Some of the sounds just sounded like farts, but props to them for experimenting.

I prefer my Dylan freewheelin'. I feel like I need a highschool English teacher to give me "historical context" for why everyone loves this ambling poetry with some strumming behind it. But then I didn't care for CATS either

There's no denying "One" is a masterpiece but other than that this album is kind of just emo if they smoked PCP instead of cloves. I can only take ao much. Maybe it's the TikTok but I don't need these little symphonies with double kick drums.

Surprisingly political! Boy George, I had no idea. It's a little "Feed the World" as far as its message but hearts (and vocals) are in the right place.

FINALLY, something unfamiliar! French Afropop? More more more please

There's no denying The Smiths. Each song on this album belongs in the same family but they're not identical, like so many other bands' sounds tend to get. I just wish Morrisey wasn't such an asshole.

4 and a half hours? Christian-codes album cover? Ain't nobody got time for that. DidnMt listen.

On the hard rocks side of Bowie but with some Talking Heads weirdness thrown in which I, for one, really love. "TVC15" is both inscrutable and one of my favorite underrated trans anthems

One of my foundational bands and this is them at the height of their sound. Funny, angry, but still listenable

Are all of Bowie's albums gonna be here? Yay soul! Yay title track, tay Across the Universe cover, yay "Somebody Up There Likes Me". More sax if you can afford it.

Hell yeah, bud. Electric jazz? Music to make dinner to

Empire Records, huh? This album feels like it was made in a lab for the mall. "Put the Beach Boys in a blender with Alice in Chains". As trendy as frosted tips and doomed to be as short-lived.

Oh man, I love Phil Collins! Textbook 80s sound. Heavy bass, synth to replace horns. Big and swelly sound but such themes of self-doubt and disillusion with The Times

What fun, what bops. I imagine this would be an amazing live show

What a series of bops. I like the full orchestration bits, we need to bring those back. I also like the solo heartbreak songs. Those seems to be clinging around just fine tho

Eh. Not for me. Angry metal but in French.

Every part of this made me feel happy. Them mid-90s hip hop bits? No sketches? V. Good.

Honestly, if it weren't for the fans this would be a great show

They're very good at what they do.

WHY DOES NOBODY TALK ABOUT THIS AS A FORMATIVE ROCK BAND OF THE 90s OH RIGHT RACISM

Turns out I love 90s afro pop

So synth, so phaser

American folk revival without the hey ho? Heyll yeah. Some of these tracks make me sleepy

Those Brits sure could make some 80s alternative

It's no Rumours

I had never heard "For No One" before and found it beautiful! I truly felt the sadness of it in my heart. Yellow Submarine was a delight to listen to. Loved!

This was such a treat, feels like perfect road trip tunes!
