The first two songs were great - the rest of it was kind of forgettable
Enjoyable! Hated the sex intermission but the rapping was pretty good
LOVE S&G together, solo album just doesn't do it for me sadly
All-time classic
In the words of Jay-Z, "Grand opening, grand closing.... forgettable middle"
Enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I would! Love the blues here.
Thought the 18 min track would save it, did the opposite. Not a huge fan of LSD rock it appears
Fine! Just fine. Won't listen again
So long. Not terrible though, nice to recognize some stuff, liked it more than I thought I would
I love the guitar and the vibes but dislike the whole braggadocios nature of the band, feels like the same song 9 times
I was always a self-titled truther for a long time & hadn't listened to this album in a bit. Rolling it on its' 38th anniversary feels like fate and I finally understand. Listened multiple times yesterday, highly enjoyable. May be music for sad people but dammit if between the bars isn't one of the best songs ever written
Sounded pretty dated unfortunately. Not a huge fan
The first half was great. I've never taken psychadelics, but if I did I think the world would sound like the narrator on the second half of the album. Very interesting.
Long but enjoyable, recognized a couple of hits from here
Enjoyable but not particularly memorable
Most enjoyable acid rock I've heard so far easily
Unmemorable but unoffensive pop, I'm fine with it
Can't recall a single song, especially compared to let it bleed
Solid disco!
Quite enjoyed this! Love some politically charged folk music
I have tried this album a lot in my life, because I feel like it's an album I SHOULD love. Each time I like it a little more, but not enough to give it more than 3 stars. Just feels kinda dated to me, I dunno
Was actually pleasantly surprised by this one. Recognized a couple tunes from soccer chants. Wouldn't listen again but I expected for it to be a lot less I mean holy shit it's the monkey album
Not bad at all! Didn't realize I knew the first track until I got war flashbacks to every commercial I've ever heard
Actually incredible pick. Best new album I've heard so far. Love the songwriting, love the electric guitar.
Enjoyable, but forgettable
Never been a metal guy but I really enjoyed the guitar work on this album, will listen again
Really enjoyed this. Only ever listened to Rumours like most people my age, but there were some good poppy tracks combined with some great songwriting. Probably the best album that I've never heard so far.
Awful. Girls might be the worst song I've ever heard, laughably bad. Yeah, No Sleep Till Brooklyn and Fight for your Right are on here, but they're overplayed and I could not STAND them. Brass Monkey is super corny, too. Nothing else memorable. Glad to never have to listen to this album ever again.
Also not bad. Not great either, but unsure why U2 gets such a bad rap.
I didn't think I was a metal fan, now I KNOW I'm not a metal fan. Guitar is fine, but vocals are horrendous.
Yeah, just not the genre for me... oh well
Wow, really loved this even if I didn't understand a word. Great rhythm, great harmonies, very very groovy
Felt a little long at parts but otherwise pretty good!
This sounds like if you told someone to record a rock album at The Haunted Mansion
People say this album is super influential, and I don't doubt it - and maybe it's because I wasn't around when this came out - but it just doesn't hit too hard for me. I think Heroin is very cool, and I'm not too fond of the experimental bits, but I think it's supremely overrated if anything.
Repetitive certainly
An album I've always wanted to listen to but never had the motivation. Met expectations, I'd say, really enjoyed the atmosphere
I didn't think I was a big Nick Cave fan, mainly because of the voice (reminds me of an older Johnny Cash), but I REALLY enjoyed the instrumentation, especially on the first album.
Not my favorite but I appreciate the increased instrumentation
Definitely inoffensive melodramatic pop!
Like you recorded a rock album at the Haunted Mansion, but this time it was actually good
Nice r&b, however largely repetitive. Think his other albums are better
I enjoyed this but it gets knocked a star for the homophobia. Guess that’s just the 90s
Surprised by this one! Loved the variety and heard inspiration for so many bands.
Heck yeah. I haven't ever given Zeppelin a chance outside of the classics (IV mainly), but man I LOVED this. Bumping it down a star because the end felt a little underwhelming, but this is getting me excited for the rest of the Zeppelin on this list.
As I got further into this album the rating dropped lower and lower. Not because the music is bad - I think it's perfectly tolerable as background music in, say, 1985 - this album just feels like it goes on FOREVER with nothing redeemable. I'm sure you could play me this album again in a year and I wouldn't remember a single thing. It's just well-produced, risk-averse, bland late 70s jazz. Certainly not something I MUST listen to before I die, taking the title of this website literally.
Quite long, but still enjoyable. Classic CSN harmonies, love the instrumentation, but getting knocked for length, rounded down even.
Gifted with one of the best albums ever written today! Superb lyricism, wonderful guitarwork throughout, perfectly fit for one of the greats of our time.
First time willingly listening to Buddy Holly at all, can definitely understand how women from the 50s would go crazy over him. I think it's perfectly fine and representative of the time, and I can definitely hear the influences. I'd put it on this list for sure, it's a classic, however not sure if I'd ever listen to this again.
