Neil Young
4/5
Excellent songwriting. Neil's falsetto can get to be a bit much after a while, especially without harmonies.

Wu-Tang Clan
5/5
I struggle a lot with giving albums "3's", mainly because I can understand the appeal to the album, but it's not my particular cup of tea or because I'm not familiar with the context of the album. This is not one of those albums. 36 Chambers not only checks the nostalgia box for me, but I recognize how important it truly was in shaping the sound and culture hip-hop of the 90s and even early 00s. It launched the solo careers of some of my favorite rappers who ended up dropping some of the greatest rap albums of all time. For me, these reasons are more than enough to give it 5 stars.

I appreciate the lyricism, delivery and musicianship of this, but it's a bit of a hard listen from end to end for me. This would probably land around a 4 for me if it were shorter.

Wonderful compositions, amazing voice, but this is a VERY hard listen after a certain point. I understand the historical significance, but it would be an easier listen in bite size chunks.

This album deserves a 5 for its historical significance. It's listenability over 40 years later is another thing entirely. It's fine, but nothing noteworthy by today's standards. I'm thinking of a 4 after considering all of the above.
