I had this album in college. I've liked it since then, so this one should be easy. Even the songs I don't love as much, like Daylight, are still strong. It's also hard to beat the run of Politik to Clocks for five-track groups. It's been a long time since I've listened to the album all the way through, and this listen caused me to pick up on the time and longing themes that seem to cycle through the album. Lots of ideas about missed opportunities, rewinding time, and a clock motif in multiple songs (also reflected in the rhythmic instrumentation in songs like A Whisper).

Didn't realize this was where where My My, Hey Hey was from. Iconic track. A few solid tracks on here, but about the same number of duds. I did generally enjoy the instrumentation and Neil Young's singing and folk+rock sound.

Beginning and end of this album were solid. Maybe I lost interest part of the way through and picked back up towards the end, but the first three tracks (Hotel California, New Kid in Town, and Life in the Fast Lane) felt solid, and the final two (Try and Love Again, The Last Resort) felt similarly. Of songs I have not heard before, my favorite was probably The Last Resort.

Really strong album top-to-bottom. I didn't love every song, but the album as a whole gives some iconic 70s sound wrapped around some solid ballads, funk, and social protest songs.

Not my favorite kind of classic rock. There are a few bops in here but it's not to my taste so far. "I Can't Explain" is decent. The song Tattoo sucks. Also not into Young Man's Blues (lyrics are alright). Happy Jack is fine. I don't hate this outright but it feels very much like a 2 star album.

I liked Sunday, Bloody Sunday, but every other song slid right off me. It sounded too samey across the album.

This was a trip. I realized as I started this album that even though I knew of the Velvet Underground and I knew of this album from the artwork, I'd never actually LISTENED to it. I enjoyed basically the whole thing! There were a few sections that went into noise rock more than I like, but there are definitely songs on this album I can see myself coming back to. My favorite was probably Venus in Furs.

Production values are excellent, and the musicians are clearly talented. However, Steely Dan just isn't my vibe. I don't mind the jazz elements, but it's very soft rock for me.

Fun little bit of synth-pop. Had a few catchy tunes but it lost me pretty quickly.

Very cool album and one of the greatest final albums by an artist ever. I don’t love everything but it’s solid for sure and I should go back and listen to Lazarus more.

Very cool bluegrass album. Pretty languid though; I wanted more variance in the tone and pace.

Classic Elvis. I don’t love everything here but most of it’s very good.

Oh hell yeah this album rules. What a bunch of bangers. The groove funk on Maybe Your Baby is impeccable. But nothing tops the groove of Superstition. Revelations for me are Maybe Your Baby, Big Brother (the transition from Superstition to Big Brother whips), and Blame It on the Sun. I Believe is such a good album closer, man.

The riffs are good but I cannot deal with the singing/talking on every track. It just does nothing for me at all and makes the tracks a chore to get through. I could see myself enjoying it more in a different mood maybe, but generally? No thanks.

Beautifully aching Americana in this album. Oh My Sweet Carolina hits a sweet spot of longing country and folk/blues.

Sounds like a British 80s band. I didn’t hate it, but it didn’t do a lot for me.
