Listened once. Didn’t think any of the songs were anything to note, but overall it was nice album.
I went into this knowing who The Doors are but having not really listened to their music. It’s not at all my thing, but I can see the way they shaped music and inspired other musicians. Overall the album is fine. I doubt I will revisit it.
Can’t do it. I will be a hater until the day I die.
Never listened to a Smashing Pumpkins album front to back or much of them besides the hits. This was a vibe. Great music to work to.
I have some fun personal history with this album, but I tried to set that aside to listen to it. DJ music isn’t my favorite nor a go-to by any means, but this album was solid.
enjoyable front to back, a complete vibe. Will listen again.
This is music for a particular mood in my opinion. Enjoyable, entertaining and powerful album overall.
Apparently I’m a Motörhead hater, who would’ve guessed. All the songs sound exactly the same to me and I don’t particularly care for the heavy guitar or raspy vocals. Did not fuck with
Did not like this even a little bit. It sounds like music the worst punks you’ve ever met listen to.
Some songs are better than others. I accidentally listened to this album on shuffle and repeat. After the first listen through it kept playing and I didn’t turn it off. Classic, will listen again.
Solid album. I personally think 30 is a better album.
Art punk is not a good genre, but if anyone is going to do it well it’s going to be some spunky feminist femmes.
I don’t listen to enough predominantly instrumental music to feel like I can give a worthwhile opinion on this. It was good and I’d listen again.
wholeheartedly understand why this man was so popular. my feelings were all over the place listen to this. i will listen to more michael because of how good this album is.
dudes voice is awful. you cannot convince me that i would need to listen to this for any reason.
this really poses the question “should men be allowed to make music”
sonically this was enjoyable, but also what the fuck??????
This was fun and enjoyable. A little confused why it’s on this list unless it was an influential for other musicians or the genre? Because overall it wasn’t anything special…
Moby Grape is a terrible name btw.
first song, banger - playlist worthy. Only half the songs were showing up. For this to come out in 67 is cool. Understandable to be on this list. I hope to listen to all of the tracks eventually.
first two songs started off really strong… then it kinda went downhill. Shanti is probably top five worst songs i’ve ever heard. That being said, this album still isn’t the worst. pretend this is a 2.5
I tried 4 times to get into this album and couldn’t :/
The Who? More like Who Cares…. just kidding. This was mid though. That song about being a man was bad.
Dwight has entered my country rotation because of this!
I wrote an actual review the first time I listened to this front to back.
Great album. Life changing to consume.
I think I’m a Doors hater… not surprising. Just dudes making rock music is not impressive to me.
Don’t know what I was expecting but it wasn’t that. It was kind of all over the place and you never knew where it was going to next. Weird album. but not bad weird.
Easy listening while working. Didn’t find this to be particularly special or note worthy, but it was nice.
First song slaps, great way to open the album. The rest is alright
I had expectations going into this, unfortunately, because musicians i know are obsessed with oasis. It’s definitely a mindset, but dudes being guys playing music isn’t ground breaking to me. Gonna have to listen to original versus remaster though to hear the difference. The remaster sounds really refined, so I’m curious if that was genuinely their sound at the time or their experience coming through on it after the fact.
No notes. Mad I didn’t listen to this sooner, but happy to know it exists now :)
Good, not ground breaking. Enjoyed it enough to not turn it off.
You Ain’t the Problem was a hell of a way to start an album! Loved the sound/vibe. Will listen again
Respectfully, why is this on this list? Did we run out of the infinite amount of music to consume that it was necessary to be included? (TBF that could be said about a good amount of these albums. I digress).
Children gang vocals are my worst nightmare, so that did not help. Like the beats are fine… but honestly could’ve gone without the vocals.
As the album went on it got worse..
he definitely has better albums, this was fine though
this is a joke right? there is no reason for him to be singing like that? why is he doing that???? I didn’t hate “Breakdown” I think.. or one of the songs. Otherwise this album was trash.
Extra star for Jordan, Minnesota mention. This was cool and interesting, but it took me a few tries to listen to it.
It’s difficult not to go into an album like this without expectations. Never listened before, don’t know much of Pink Floyd… it was okay? fine? alright?
The album itself from an objective standpoint does not deserve 4 stars, but I personally really enjoyed this lol. It’s not groundbreaking, but it is pretty dang good.
Love the Beach Boys, this album is an interesting one. The chillness of it makes this album repeatable compared to other music of theirs.
Enjoyable. Won’t seek this out on my own, but wouldn’t hate to listen to it again.
no fucking way this man thought opening up an album with “allergies” was a good idea. making that song wasn’t a good idea. my life is worse for knowing this exists
the beats!!! sittin here and seem 2 be were my favorite. this was very good.
not my thing, but very impressive that this came out in the 60s. legends.
Was fine, not bad, but not good enough to revisit for fun.
First real exposure to Sonic Youth - fucked with it heavy. Bubblegum wasn’t a good song, but what can ya do. Going to listen to more of them and Kim’s other projects.
Did not like this, but didn’t hate it enough to turn it off for 2 full album listens.
Better than expected, but not incredible. Won’t visit again, but didn’t hate it.
did not enjoy a single second of this. *fart noise*
no disrespect, but nearly every beastie boys song sounds the same. It’s not bad, just kinda boring if it’s not your thing. They are entertaining at least!
This albums sounds was kinda all over the place. The second half was better than the first, surprisingly.
My mind was tainted by the global reviews. However, it gave me a different and funnier perspective. No chance I was going to enjoy this regardless, but it’s goofy. It is giving old dude on an acid trip playing his guitar in his shag carpeted basement and his kids come down to tell him to turn it down. Sonically it’s intriguing but not going to revisit and hopefully will forget about it quickly.
Had to listen twice because the first time was so forgettable lmao
Mid. Always jarring to hear a big radio hit smashed between songs you’ve never heard of.
The right amount of weird. Great storytelling. Fun and entertaining. Did not expect to like this as much as I did.
did not enjoy any of this, sonically it’s not bad I guess. Not something I would’ve ever expected to listen to in my lifetime tbh
I genuinely believe the world would be a better place if “The Hungry Intruder” didn’t exist.
Mid. Seriously no real notes on this.
This type of storytelling music is my bread and butter. The instrumentals are lowkey, but add to the story.
It’s a rock album. Not bad, but not special by any means. It was good, but I wouldn’t seek it out.
glad they ended One Very Important Thought the way they did. Decent album overall, might listen again as background music. Not great, but truly not terrible.
Deserving of 5 stars, truly. Only one song that was skippable. Cohesive, powerful album

Fine? Do people genuinely enjoy that?
Iron Man was my favorite song to play on guitar hero when I first got it. This album is a classic. Not the best Sabbath album, but iconic nonetheless.
Not a fan of the vocals or how he sounds like he is blubbering while singing?
This album has some HITS on it. Had no idea. Without You is one of those songs that’ll stick with me forever, so even that being on here… Fun musician overall.
Probably a 4 tbh
Not really my thing, but it wasn’t bad. Album art is off putting tbh.
Can fuck with some french music.
LOVE weird, genre bending absurd music. This was not that. This was bad. Did come in bias because Paper Planes is a terrible song.
Okay 20 Dollar wasn’t the worst. If more of it was like that… maybe. Sorry okay the Timbaland feature saved it.
Perfect. No notes.
One of the most beautiful albums I have had the privilege of hearing.
Fuck. I guess there is a reason people like Coldplay. As much as I want to be a hater, this was pretty good. I won’t admit to liking it, but it was good.
The first album from this list that was truly different and interesting. I’ve never heard anything like this.
This is what making music is about. Hope they had fun making this tbh
I would imagine 90s country evolved from this in some way, just based on the sound. Nice album, didn’t think any of it particular stood out though.
Easy listening, fun and enjoyable.
UK punk, especially from this time period will never be enjoyable to me. They sound blubbery and whiny, however, they did play their instruments better than anticipated. I’d give a different album of theirs a try. Fucking punks
Nothing will hate me make this man less, especially his music. Fine album, some of the songs were even decent.
Genuinely enjoyed. Great musicians.
None of the songs were standouts, but this is stellar 80s music.
This wasn’t bad at all, just not much of a paul simon fan. me and julio will be stuck in my head and i will be mad about it tho.
They have a killer sound like no other. Their major hits from this record are a little overplayed imo. This has me wanting to listen to more of their catalog though.
Enjoyable to listen to. Need to listen a few more times for a real opinion, but wanting to listen to it again is a better than I feel with most of these albums.
If we are separating art from the artist, great fucking album. Jealous of whoever got to experience Ace of Spaces live tbh. Their sound, especially live, nothing like this. Fuck Lemmy though.
they play the instruments well
Fun, enjoyable, easy listening
she deserved so much more. this album is gold.
Dramatic, moody. Felt a level of angst or unease in my body through the first listen, but it’s entrancing enough that I couldn’t turn it off either. The vocals are off-putting but soothing. My gut says this is a 5, but my heart says that I have to give it a 4 due to the way it made me feel lol.
Take Me Out is that god damn song. Besides that song, the vocals irk me in a way I can’t explain otherwise. Similar to the full body visceral reaction people can get to the sound of fingernails on a chalkboard. A full album of this was a lot for my ears to consume, but good in small doses.
Beginning was fun and exciting, there was a bit of a lul toward the middle/end that had me pause and not restart. Overall, enjoyable to listen to!
Pretty sure I’ve thought REO Speedwagon and R.E.M. were the same band until this moment. Don’t really fuck with this, couldn’t even make it through the whole album.
First time listening to a Bjork album front to back. More enjoyable than anticipated. Some of the songs were just annoying, just not enough to skip them. Violently Happy is a damn good tune.
As much as I want to be a hater, I can’t be where it’s not due, unfortunately.
I wanted to like this more than I did. He is a wild instrumentalist and his music is fun, but there is something in me that doesn’t enjoy it too much.
Beautiful album. Frontline, LMK, and Truth or Dare are *chefs kiss*. This will absolutely be on a regular rotation of listening.
Imagine thinking anything by Sam Cooke is less than a 5?!
Could only listen to half of it. They are fine, just not my cup of tea.
Really enjoyed the first volume. Beautiful album, but not something I would regularly listen to.
Loved every second of this. Love a heavy rap album. Complete vibe. easy 5
Enjoyed this more than Songs in the Key of Life.
Dude being guys music, least enjoyable kind. Ended up being okay background music, but ultimately not enjoyable.
43 minutes of my life I will never get back. Hate to share publicly that this was an enjoyable listen. The tone of this album was fun and I won’t turn it off if it comes on.
this album will never be overplayed imo
Beauty and the Beast is a strong album opener. It got weird… maybe that was the point. Good album, not great.
I hate this man. I hate his voice. Cannot do it, so sorry. Will be an hater until the day I die.
His live commentary was entertaining. Not sure that it added to this album specifically, but I could see how it would impact his performances.
He was a great live musician, and that comes through in this live album recording.
Don’t hate this album, but fuck Morrissey.
Really wanted to hate this, but god damn it was enjoyable. The vocal fry in his voice hits just right. Not 5 w
Nope nope nope. Sorry. Can’t do it.
This sounds like an album from an old famous man. It’s not very good. His voice aged well, but the weird rock music vibe is not it at all.
Not sure the context someone would listen to this for fun, but it is well made and almost soothing for Murder Ballads.
Beautiful, gorgeous. Wanted to like it more than I do. The raspiness in her voice can be a little harsh for my taste at times, but my god I’m grateful to know this albums exists.
Love the sound of this album, it’s very on par with current listening tastes. The vibe is nice, but not good enough to rate it more.
Really did not like this, and couldn’t even finish it. Maybe for a different mood, but not for general listening. The guitar tones really don’t do it for me and the scratchiness of the whole album is off-putting.
If it was influential, so sorry lol
This being Linkin Park’s debut album, with such a distinct hard rock sound was honestly a little bold. Like this album sounds like the times, but was likely one of the first to sound this way. To me this album sounds futuristic dystopian. Hate ranking these out of 5 because it’s objectively a solid album, but also not entirely my taste.
Easy listening while working. Nothing special to be honest, but pleasant nonetheless.
Easily an Elliott Smith stan after this. Going to do a deep dive on his discography now. No notes for this album.
They aren’t the worst dudes playing rock music, but it’s not impressive or particularly interesting? I say that like I finished the album lmao.
Forgot what I was listening to for most of it. It was tolerable background noise, but nothing more, UNTIL Sedan Delivery. That is most sincerely, one of the worst songs I’v heard in my life. It dropped the album rating for sure.
unmatchable flow. unmatchable beats. no notes.
Not my cup of tea. The individual pieces were great, but the execution of it all together was unappealing. Even the cover art is beautiful.
