I did not dislike everything on this album, but most of the time I was extremely confused as to why you would listen to it when literally anything else exists.

Great album. Such a classic and truly one of the best debuts ever, I think. Highlights are Moving in Stereo and Just What I Needed.

Surprisingly good! I avoided this album for years thinking I didn't like it for whatever reason, but on this listen I really appreciated it. Only slightly too long. Really kept my attention.

This album was absolutely fantastic. I have never listened to bossa nova and it is way outside my usual listening but I cant believe how enchanted I was. I listened to it three times. Magnificent.

Absolute fire. Usually not a fan of this type of jazz and a little bit of a slow start but I just loved the energy and I do appreciate what they were trying to do (make a live album in the studio). Iconic release.

Good album but did not have the magic of others for me. I think i would have enjoyed more if I could understand the lyrics. Intriguing but did not change my life.

Did not care for this at all. While I see how people could enjoy it, I have always had a love hate relationship with her voice and this was just not doing it for me. Couldn't understand what she was saying and everything kind of blended together. Wouldn't listen again.

All time classic for me. This is one of those albums that grows in quality every time I listen to it. On this, my third listen, I was finally able to appreciate the back half of the album and I can say it was truly a 5 for me.

She is truly the greatest to ever do it but as an album it is just too long without enough variety.

I honestly do not have much to say about this one. It was fine. It didn't really leave an impression on me in any way.

I just love this album. My journey with it has been so interesting because I didn't understand it at first, but after spending a lot of time listening to other music I came back around and really appreciated it. For me this is one of those milestone albums that doesn't really invite comparison.

I really feel like I understand and appreciate what they were trying to do with this album, however, it is pretty disjointed. I really appreciated a second listen. I don't think I would ever go out of my way to listen again or add it to my rotation. Many strong moments, but as a whole it's missing something for me.

Hated it. Out of all the stuff we've listened to so far this one i could not listen to twice. I was never able to understand the appeal of Soundgarden and this did not change my mind. Every single song sounds the same (except Black Hole Sun) and is just Chris yowling over the same churning guitar. Forever.

This album was very complex for me. At first, I really liked it. I thought the first half was extremely imaginative and weird and I was ready to give the whole thing a 4. However, the second half took a sharper bend into convention and it reminded me unfavorably of Pet Sounds or the Paul McCartney baroque Beatles stuff, and that was a 2. So I settled on 3.

I thought the first four tracks and the final one were extremely promising, but it did slacken off in the second half. However, I would listen again in the future.

This album really does it all for me. It has (light) political commentary, humor, anger, and the interplay of the different NWA members on the tracks is excellent. Best of all - no skits!! I do feel it is slightly too long but always a great listen.

This album was difficult for me to rate, but on my fourth listen (which is significant in itself, in my opinion) I realized what I was doing wrong. This album demands your full attention. When listening while driving or working, I couldn't appreciate it. When I sat down and did nothing but listen, it was like an entirely different album.

This was initially a 4 for the witty lyrics and excellent songs, but on my second listen I did realize the album contains a lot of filler and is not as strong as I initially thought. The highs are excellent, but there is too much dead weight.

FANTASTIC. I heard everything, I appreciated everything, and I love the layers put into the music. What a journey! Three listens really helped me enjoy this one. I did not notice any of the pretentiousness in the reviews. The producer deserves a medal.

This is the jazz that people who say "I don't like jazz, it's boring" are talking about

Bad. I can definitely hear how this was influential on later punk but every album on this list was important in some way. Got the impression of the same song over and over again and nothing left a mark on me. The fact I made it through this album TWICE without liking a single song is really unusual for me.

One of the easiest 4s ever. This album so clearly sounds like people having a fantastic time and I love it. Good balance of slower and faster songs and my compliments to the guy playing the upright bass.

I wasn't sure where this was going as it is a little weaker at the beginning, but The Who are solid as always. They do a good variety of song types on this album, but they are always st their best with the harder rock stuff. Not their best, but I liked nearly every song.

I have to respect that Otherside is a generationally good song and one that is stuck in my head all the time. However, other than that, Californication, and Parallel Universe, I really did not like any other songs on this album. If it were instrumental I think I would have really enjoyed it, but Anthony Kiedis ruins everything yet again.

Started as a 3 for me but quickly became a 4 on an appropriate sound system. So funky and I will definitely be dancing to this while cleaning the house or cooking in the future. I love the sampling.

Listened to this album a long time ago and hated it. Gained new appreciation this time. Is it a muddled mess, absolutely, but I feel that I can hear a social movement starting in it. I can never knock someone for going onstage and having the time of their life.

I love their exploration of different instrumentation on this album. The piano really ties it all together but you can tell they were interested in trying new and exciting stuff. There are one or two awful songs on here but I think most are good.

If we did not fetishize mental illness when it produces art (Van Gogh etc) this would not be on this list. There were occasional flashes that I appreciated but otherwise I found it self indulgent and rambling.

The classic. The almighty. An all time favorite. The slickest, crispest production. The themes, the storytelling, the atmosphere! My god I have been listening to this album for ten years and I'm still enjoying it. I hear something new every single time. Sometimes I think "Maybe it's not as good as I remember" but then I listen to it and it's even better than that. Something for everyone on here. So special to me.

This is like your middling Rolling Stones album imo. They dont do anything terrible, but they dont do anything cool either. The interesting instrumentation from other albums is gone etc. The last few songs are very good.

Great album! It starts out crazy and definitely never slows down or stops. The energy is maximum the entire time. The social commentary is on point. As always I love an album where everyone is going hard as hell. This was very nearly a 5 for me but I can't quite justify it.

Perfectly average album that did not leave much of an impression on me either way. Basically all of the first side sounded the same.

I did not dislike everything on this album, but most of the time I was extremely confused as to why you would listen to it when literally anything else exists.

I'm not sure if being harsher on this because it's my third Rolling Stones album in ten days, but this is pretty awful. I think High and Dry might genuinely be one of the worst songs of the 1960s and even Paint It Black/Mother's Little Helper can't save it for me. The songs on here sound very similar and they are not good.

Every song on this album is the same but in a good way. They sound like they're having a great time. As an album to just have on in the background it really works. Don't try to listen too hard.

We had Ramones yesterday, and this is a lot like Ramones for me but without the magic. Did not really stick in my mind and actually somehow overstayed its welcome despite being under 30 minutes long.

Rock the fuck out!!! This doesn't need a review ffs

I love Echo and the Bunnymen but this is not their best. Flipped between 2.5 and 3, especially on second listen, but the really good songs are good enough that I bumped it up. I think a lot of them will make it to my Playlist, but I dont see the album as a whole becoming regular.

The vibes on this were immaculate but it didn't stand out to me too much. The middle part kind of faded into the distance. There were definitely good highlights on this, but I dont think I would add to my rotation.

Was not sure if I should give this a 3 or a 4. Excellent sampling, and some really good lyrics on here, but I have never really liked the pre-Jay Z East Coast hip hop library and it just isn't for me (except Illmatic - obviously)

Had a hard time rating this but decided to approach it like an auditory landscape painting. He's creating different soundscapes for you to step into. Not my favorite style but he does it best.

Ugh this was so good. Loved the alternating of straightforward folk tracks with more experimental cross genre stuff. Despite what a lot of people said I loved his voice. I will return to this many times.

This is a really good album but it didn't hit at as a 4 for me yet. I think if I am listening to it next week still I will bump it up. It has a lot of great highlights but it wasn't as cohesive as a 4 should be. But I do appreciate it.

Man this album rocks. It is blistering, fast, and merciless. Very rarely do i think it's ok for an album to be over an hour, but I honestly found myself looping it and wanting more.

This is such great stuff from Madonna that gets bogged down by a lot of filler. When it's good, it's great, but it never really becomes fantastic and it does have a bit of a samey feeling overall.

Great album of extremely talented people doing their thing. Reminded me positively of some musical styles from Cowboy Bebop, which is always a plus. However, this album basically requires headphones or you will not be able to enjoy it to the fullest! They are very quiet.

This album is a weird combination of slow, atmospheric stuff and more poppy, peppy stuff. What i liked is that even the peppy stuff sounds like someone slowly losing their mind. I think it is the most 3.5 album I've ever heard but I do have to round down because it's a little uneven.

This album changed my fucking life. The atmosphere they create is so unparalleled. Warm synths and the bass, the way they layer different instruments. The Cure is the only band I listen to where they give you three 7-minute songs in a row and i wish they were longer. I have listened to this album probably 15 times and I discover something new each time. Easiest 5 ever.

This album was trying to do several different things at once and I dont think it was successful at much. I wanted to like it, but it didn't leave an impression on me.

Man, this album really let me down on second listen. I remembered enjoying it a lot and I could barely get through it. Maybe I wasn't in the right mood but it left no impression on me whatsoever. Could not see any of what I enjoyed before.

When it's good, it's absolutely perfect. Dense storytelling, complex instrumentation, and great vibes. An excellent album for road tripping. However, it is way too long and drops off considerably in the back half.

Nothing strong to say about this one. It is definitely an Elvis Costello album. There are some good songs and some I didn't like. I don't think I would listen again, but I didn't dislike it.

There are going to be ten thousand Wu Tang Clan solo albums on this list and I just don't enjoy that era of 90s East Coast rap.

There are some crappier songs at the end of this one but the run of songs at the beginning is so good I didn't care. Trick of the Light is fantastic. I love how they stuck the little piano piece at the end. Felt like I was on an adventure.

Love the hallmarks of Bowie on this. The theatrical vocals, the weird chords, the discordant sounds, and the energy. It's a shame to hear how his voice started to degrade, but I don't think it takes anything away from the album. A great ride back to front.

I love an album that doesn't overstay its welcome. You have tight, interesting songwriting on the first side that is just weird enough to keep your interest. Then the GORGEOUS second side which is like Bowie showing up to take you on some kind of adventure. This is easily my favorite album of his. It could have turned into a plodding 80 minute mess, but it works.

They are obviously extremely talented at doing their thing, but their thing is mostly not for me. This is a 3 and not a 2 because there were some real standouts on the album.

What a fantastic album! I can see the influence on other bands like Wolf Alice in this album. There is definitely some filler, but the album stays fresh while keeping it cohesive. I think I will listen again and again.

Strong influence on The Beatles here but did not stand out to me too much. I think most of its value is in being able to say that it was influential on other artists, not that it's particularly good by itself.

Man, what happened here? Having only known So I thought this would be great. There were some very good songs but most of this album passed right by me without noticing even though I tried really hard on second listen to form an opinion on every song. I feel like he was trying very hard to distinguish himself here and ended up not landing.
