I love the phone calls and random conversation samples. Easy listening album, no songs I really dislike and a couple of bangers towards the end (Real, Compton, also Bitch, Don't Kill My Vibe) probably 3.5/5

Britpop isn't really my cup of tea, but I do love the tone and themes of album. Even if I probably won't listen to many of these songs again, I appreciate its significance and its probably one of my favorites of a genre I don't like.

My favorite Dylan album. Both of its time, but something that resonates throughout American history. I love the strong blues backbone but each track gives a different flavor.

I don't know if I'll ever add any of the songs to a mix, but I will definitely return to listen to the album as a whole. Was really surprised by how much I enjoyed it

Eh. I like David Bowie, not a huge fan, but the album didn't do a ton for me

I enjoy a narrative album, but overall, this album gets a decent rating carried by some bangers (moonage, Starman) and then a lot of stuff that's fine. I appreciate that this was Bowie's breakthrough and what really launched him into the weird side, but outside the historical context, this album is more decent than great in my eyes.

God damn. While this was the only studio album that Notorious saw released, it might be the only thing bigger than the B.I.G. himself. The man spits bars better than a Snickers conveyor belt. While the album is often dark and dangerous, there is a range of emotions, including joy and humor. There's authenticity in what he's saying (something severely lacking in lots of later rap lyrics), and it might give the most honest representation of being a drug dealer in the 80's and 90's. He makes you feel what he felt, experience his life, which can be difficult as a white dude from rural Pennsylvania. There's so many great references and samples in here (lots of rap history here), this is truly one of the greatest hip hop albums of all time.

Not a punk fan, but the arctic monkeys have a unique style and add a slightly different flavor to each of their quick romps. Strong vibes. I don't know if I'll listen to many of these tracks again, but I enjoyed the listen.

The artist is as somber as he is talented. I love the light folk guitar mixed with more traditional orchestral instruments. I wish this man had not been so depressed. He could have made more incredible music. His music stylings fit his own sad story, an unappreciated poet in his time that ended life far too early.

experimental album, not really my cup of tea

1. Banger 2. Keep your foot on the motherfucking pedal baby. That long screech followed by that nifty lick *chef's kiss* Also, the bombast of the drums in this album so far is peak 3. slow it down, haunting duet vocals, mandolins aplenty, and we're talking LOTR; I feel like I've been transported to Middle Earth, stop I can only get so erect 4. Are you kidding me?? What?? This? This ... masterpiece? The slow build from the ethereal to the hot and heavy? Mama Mia, we got a spicy meatball here. 5. how about a little jaunt to take the edge off. And god damn, those drums 6. Driven by the rollicking main lick, I think its underrated 7. A little reprieve before the big finale; still has some edge though 8. that harmonica haunts my dreams and nightmares. Truly one of the greatest rock n roll albums of all time 0/5

Fleetwood Mac has always been a bit of a blindspot, but they put out some real yacht-rock, road trip jams mixed in with some real hard hitting bangers (The Chain, Gold Dust Woman). I need to listen to more

Definitely synergized with my morning coffee to power me through the morning. Maybe I lack a refined ear, but the problem with thrash metal is all the songs feel like the same speed and tone, so they start to blend together. I enjoy the style to an extent, but another that I probably won't return to.

Listening to this after Cuban Linx is some whiplash. They are lacking a bit in the lyrics department, but they make a good beat and have fun. It's as if as if an ivy league a capella group formed a rap group that could make a half decent beat.

The best hippy drum circle's signature album (complimentary); starts strong then kind of peters out but great nonetheless

Forget corn flakes, have this for breakfast to start your day with some *crunch*. ZZ Top adapted to survive into the 80's, and while I can frown at the lack of authenticity using loops, drum machines, and synthesizers, it's hard to argue with the end result. Don't think too much about it, just enjoy the boogie, blues, and electric sex machines. Those sheepskin guitars will haunt me (in a good way) forever

Kick snare to knock your damn head off. Not really a music period that I enjoy, but two absolute classics carry this album.

I just don't get the value of this music. I, a man of unbelievably limited musical talent, feel like I could cobble an album similar to this in like 6 months. This is the aspartame of music.

It's not my cup of tea, but they seem talented.

As the title track states, this is a party. Damn, I wish I had been invited to party with Prince, but I guess I was -10 in 1982

Just a classic Stones album, a party with dark/seedy undertones, a spine of good ole fashioned rock n roll with the draperies of other styles thrown in (gospel, country, etc.). It's the good local dive bar of music.

Punk - schmunk, Television is the best garage/indie/alternative rock band of all time and this is their best album, featuring more hooks than a coat rack and a lovely interweave of the two guitarists. mastapiece *mwah*

In a genre that is not my cup of tea, it alternates between surprisingly enjoyable (to me) and irritating (the majority);

Clearly a talented vocalist, but also kind of annoying and overdone; I initially wanted to rate it higher, but replaying some of the songs reinforced all the worst vibes (overemotional, whiny at times, dude clearly singing every line with his eyes closed)

God Bono is fucking annoying and he's not that talented (not every note needs to held to orgasm moan threshold). I don't know what's more unbelievable: that these assholes thought it was so important to listen to their crap music that they forced it onto every iPod, or that they were at one point the most popular "rock'n'roll" band on earth (humanity is fucked). At least two members didn't give themselves dipshit nicknames, I hope no more of their albums are on this list, but I know I won't get so lucky. Rant aside, this album has a couple of decent tracks, and the otherwise is ... completely unremarkable

I can't think of a more appropriate title for the album. Zach is a lyrical master and Morello rips.

I appreciate the cinematic style and the influence this album had on future albums, but from a listening perspective, it's a couple of bangers and then mostly not my cup of tea

Love the creepy goth vibes, an authentically miserable album. Glad Robert Smith didn't use the Cure for depression.

An album that alternates between party and real shit. But it's funky goodness all throughout.
