Some songs were a bit too experimental but most were great - the seed (2.0) was definitely my favourite and thirsty! is a great party and hype song.

Run run run was almost a verge into country music. interesting structure with Nico being a sort of reprieve from the most rock elements.

I really didn't want to listen to this... I decided to listen to slim shady and leave it at that.

4.5 - love morrissey. definitely expanded beyond the smiths and has a much stronger beat with the normal morrissey lyrics.

Way too long. 1st half was much better than the 2nd.

It feels of its era. I can imagine people in the 60s dancing to this. I just don't think it would be my favourite genre of the era.

pretty good, similar to cibo matto

4 Tightrope stands up. Come Alive (War of the Roses) is fantastic and surprising. Make the bus is also really good. 57821 - mix of indie and folk.

3.5 - some good songs but I don't think it is a revolutionary album or piece of art.

Some songs were a bit too experimental but most were great - the seed (2.0) was definitely my favourite and thirsty! is a great party and hype song.

Nice and short compared to a lot of the other albums. 40 minutes is really the perfect amount for an album.

What's not to like! Accidentally listened to the birth of blue first...

3.5 not bad but I don't know if it's super inventive.

4.5 - amazing! Doll parts still fantastic.

Obviously a good album. But it is just so long with all the different versions of the songs.

Doesn't feel as developed as his later albums but still very beautiful. You can definitely tell it is from the 80s. Feels very Sting. Really in between a 3 and 4 (like 3.75).

Not bad but I wouldn't listen to it again. The 2nd half was hard to get through.

It's fine... Joan Baez has much better versions of a lot of these songs.

I liked it, especially birds and ships with Natalie Merchant. For people who like folk music.

Loved this album!

I liked it but it didn't go hard enough for me. I think it felt like a sanitised version. But saying that the song Marcus Garvey is one of his top listened songs for a reason.

Crystal days - excellent, a really easy listen. I think my favourite of the album. Silver - a very good opener. The yo yo man - feels like if the smiths did alternative ethereal country. The Killing Moon - there is a grandness here. 3.75/5

Not really my vibe. Some songs are passable I guess. It was hard to sit through it. Too long - could have been a 40 min album.

Very easy listening but not my favourite. I liked monkey man and had never heard it before. 3.5

It's been a while since I listened to it and I think it still holds up. But I don't know if it is effortlessly relistenable. For that reason 4/5.

Perfect length for an album. No notes.

Pretty good and very relaxing.

Some interesting songs but not really my vibe. I didn't like quality seconds. I can see the merit in are we here as a conceptual idea and "art" but it isn't good music.

I enjoyed it, super easy to work with and fades into the background perfectly.

I don't know, I'm not a massive fan of this. I really like some songs from Lorde's solar power album. This one feels so weepy.

I loveeeee this album. I'm so happy it made it on to the 1001 albums. Taking off a point because it is a bit too long and from borderline, the album peters out. 4/5

I liked this album. Some duds - everything means nothing to me & in the lost and found. Both of which I thought were quite unsettling. 3/5

Not my favourite Zeppelin album. I liked immigrant song, out on the tiles, tangerine and that's the way. I think the second half was much better or at least what I felt like more.
