Not bad, but it was a pretty standard British rock band, bordering on the new punk wave.

I already knew that I liked a few songs from this album, primarily 1979. Overall, I'm not a big fan of the sound of the vocalist. I can definitely see how it influenced artists that followed and it's an interesting inflection point between punk/grunge into emo, post punk, and alternative rock. I probably can't give it a fair evaluation since I don't enjoy their specific sound. I can't say whether the album had much of a flow to it either, since I kept getting interrupted while listening to it at work. 2 out of 5 stars, I get it, but it ain't for me.

Very catchy, good groves, and psycho killer is a certified timeless banger

That was a great little discovery. It wasn't listed on Spotify, unfortunately, so the experienced may have suffered from the commercial breaks on YouTube. Altogether, I enjoyed it a lot, the sound was soulful and occasionally funky rock with a flair for the melodramatic. The first three songs on the album left me wondering what box to put this artist into, then it hit its peak with Love and Affection, but I was totally in on the vibe by the end. It was good, not great, so I can see how this artist flew under most people's radars. But I would not be surprised at all to see a charting hit happen with the right cover of any one of the songs.

Good album, one true hit song.

Holy shit, now this whole album is iconic. The previous days have been collections of songs by artists. This album is an album of songs that play into each other, recurring themes and high-to-low energy transitions. Thom Yorke really made waves that appeared in other artists. I'm giving it 5 stars because it truly is one of the greatest of its kind.

It was aight, I can see how he had a broad appeal, but I think it just doesn't hit the blues space with much musical novelty. He had a unique vocal style with that, it's kind of a depressed Elvis thing. But it wasn't up my alley.

Great writing and musical composition for this album. Powerful voice, she deserves the flowers she's received.

It was surprising, the first song of the album was pretty thematically different from the rest of it. It put me on my heels in trying to pin down a genre, but honestly, I really enjoyed what started playing in the auto-generated playlist after the end of the album. So while I don't know what it was, I'm pretty sure I like it, haha.

Pretty gener-ock, no hits to speak for either. But some catchiness here and there. Not garbage, but not ground breaking.

Very folksy bluegrass, exceptional talent within the genre. I had listened to her in the past, actually. Despite not being in the mood for the genre, it was an easy listen.

It was actually solid, old school country music. Good songs, unfortunate shout down for SF, haha! Diddyo considers it to be a good one, and now I do too.

Pretty good, I preferred the disc 2 of the album.

Pretty generic hippie rock. I think there may have been some novelty in the mixing of the album, but I wasn't paying quite enough attention to truly say.

Really chill, awesome world music with primary sounds from India, but there seemed to also be some Spanish guitar riffs and possibly Latin rhythms.

Not bad, but no hits really.

I'm going to be listening to this more. Really good, complex, and complete feeling.

Good punk album, it's a quick listen and had some moments that hit well. Altogether though it was too short.

The mixing of the first few songs is meh, and as always Jeru is quite preachy, even in the sub-genre of conscious rap. But when My Mind Spray comes on, the production is on point and the flow is impeccable. There's a reason he's well known in the hip-hop head genre. The beats for the next two songs, Come Clean - E New Y Radio and Jungle Music, are also fresh.

Damn! What a strong opening, great vibes so far. It's Jazz, it's world music, it's danceable.

I've listened to this one before! In fact, 7 nation army was the first song I ever played on an open mic night. But hardest button to button is my favorite track. Was the album ground breaking? Not especially, does it flow well? Not particularly, is it alright? Yeah it's solidly alright.

Very well produced album, but I can't decide if I love her voice or dislike it. It varies from song to song.

It's not bad, but it feels like it lacks individuality or distinction. That's not helped by the cover song. But his overall sound was almost anachronistic feeling. Like an older sound being mixed with newer sounds in a way that didn't mesh super well.

Such a dope album, Dr. Octagon is a weird but extraordinarily lyricist and rapper. It's almost surprising that he doesn't come up more often in Hip-Hop legends conversations. I knew Earth People previously, and I would recognize Blue Flowers, but honestly there's not a real hit on this album. It flows together really well and has some good moments, so totally worth the listen. Okay, hold up, turns out Dr. Octagon is Kool Keith, he DOES come up in conversations about greats of hip-hop! I'm going to dig in further.

It's an icon for a reason. There's several hits, it flows well, and it has moments that totally hold your attention.

It's pretty good, the vocalist reminds me of The Talking Heads, Parquet Courts, and I don't know. I like it, the music is pretty good, but there's haven't exactly been any moments that made me think "damn that's good."

Not a bad album, certainly one worth having on in the background. But it's not one that I think I could dive into. At least, I couldn't dive into it today.

Not bad, punky Rock

Not bad, but it was a pretty standard British rock band, bordering on the new punk wave.

Lol, Flushed from the Bathroom of Your Heart. This album fully deserved its iconic status. That was a fun listen. Johnny Cash might be one of the coolest dudes to ever live, that's just my opinion but it's true.

This is probably the first GOOD album that I ever owned. But I can't remember if I bought Meteora or Hybrid Theory first. I would condiser HT to be the better of the two regardless. When I think of Nu Metal as a genre, I consider Linkin Park to be the icon or GOAT, RIP. Also, the remixed album of this was phenomenal.

Really great rock album, I feel like it was maybe the end of an era. I struggle to think of any rock albums since this that compared. Certainly not many with commercial success.

I liked Buzzin' Fly, made me think of like a very chill hippie song but folksier. This guy makes full use of the xylophone in this album. Also, it's interesting to note that he died at 28, maybe counts as a part of the 28 club. His son was the singer/songwriter Jeff Buckley.

I actually liked this one a lot better than the Tres Hombres album. Also, this is the first instance of a second album by an artist that has already appeared on my 1001 albums generator. I feel like the mastering on this album was significantly better than the previous one. Even if it did feel like it was targeting a more mainstream sound, shoot maybe that's why I liked it more.

Not bad, I enjoyed one track on the album more than others.

Not my jam

This is a quaint little album, really feels like looking into another lifetime. But I know Dolly is one of my mom's favorite people so I suspect that it can't be too far removed from present day. I think the messages are pretty timeless, even if the specifics are a little dated.

The vocals remind me of Tupelo by Nick Cave. It's pretty musically strong, some good jams in there.

Birdland really sounds like the soundtrack to something, like a 90s sitcom or something. Rumba Mama came out of fucking nowhere, hahaha. Turns out that Birdland was a cover of the original version by Maynard Ferguson.

Not bad, musically it was pretty solid.

This is actually really pleasant to listen to. Love Banana Split for my Baby.

This album goes way harder than it has any right to. It slapped. It was great.

I actually just passed up on the chance to see this band in concert. I think I may have made the right choice, they have a couple of songs that I really like, but most of it doesn't quite click with me.

This is one of the most unusual albums so far. He takes it so seriously, and earnestly, but it's like the album is unaware of how niche it is. His dark and raspy voice is perfect for noir. But I'm still not sure what through line to draw for this album. What's its story and theme?

It's like the predecessor or missing link between the British invasion and Ska. These vocals are all over the place, melodramatic and loopy. Musically it's not bad, but I'm just not feeling this incomprehensible impression of The Talking Heads. But then again, them horns are pretty dope in Tell Me When My Light Turns Green.
