I don't mind the music, but I would not seek it out. The singer's voice is very grating to me, though. I would not listen to this again.

Excellent guitar work. Some of the songs are better than others. I eventually skipped ahead during "Wars of Armageddon" because it was just unpleasant to the ear with all the screaming.

I know Joni Mitchell is a legend, and I respect her contributions to the musical world, but all of her songs sound vaguely the same to me. The album is no different. If anything, I like this less than the other songs I’ve heard by her. That said, “Raised on Robbery” was a fun surprise that did stand out.

Very “classic” classic rock sound. I could see how this would have been popular. It is not bad, but I wouldn’t see myself reaching for this. But “American Girl” is definitely a classic.

Awesome music, legendary man. I like how he talks between the songs and treats the prisoners with respect. This whole concept of an album and the others like it are great. And the music is excellent.

I always assumed Thriller was one of the best albums of the decade because I was familiar with the singles. Taking time to listen to it entirely, it is a bit weird. There are some of the best pop songs of the 80s, but mixed in between them are terrible, almost unlistenable songs.

This is not my style of music. It is very "background" music and reminds me of bad slow jams. I am really not enjoying this, especially when the singer randomly breaks into falsetto. I was glad when this was over.

Probably not one of her very best, this has a very classic Lana dreamlike feel that developed in her music over the last handful of years. This one feels like each song is kind of the same, flowing into one another. Not bad, but not her best work.

I respect what they did for the genre, but I did not love it. It does hit differently in the current political environment.

His voice is surely an acquired taste, but there is no doubt he’s a lyrical master. Some truly exceptional songs are on here - “Masters of War” in particular. I liked it more than I expected. Would I seek it out? Probably not, but I’d add a few tracks to a general playlist.

The music is great. Stipe’s voice is very much an acquired taste though. But overall, I like this album. The stand outs are the singles.

I respect what Public Enemy is and their impact, but why did I get two albums just days apart? Like the last, they are speaking their mind on important issues. The music is slightly more engaging, but the album feels very long. I almost didn’t finish this one. My rating reflects my respect for what Public Enemy represents, but I can’t see myself revisiting any of this. And maybe I can avoid repeats for a bit?
