Familiar with these songs but never sat and listened to the entire album. Classic rock with an opera/stageshow feel. Impressed but not something I’d revisit.

Classic album. Familiar with all the songs. Brilliant writing and production but you get tired of hearing Bob’s voice after a while and this album is 14 songs!

Amazing album from start to finish. The soundscape and production combined with Thom Yorker’s lyrics and voice create a bleak but hauntingly beautiful outlook on the world.

Beautiful music and harmonized singing but, frankly, a bit boring.

Good album. Melancholy but well written. Not something I’d seek out on my own but not mad about having to listen to it.

I was only familiar with one song but it was a good album. Crisp, well composed 70s rock with a clean recording. Surprised to hear Huey Lewis introduced as the harmonica player!

The third track, the one with vocals, was hard to get through. The other 3 tracks were fantastic jazz-rock fusion instrumentals.

I had never heard of this band or album. Surprisingly good! Quintessential 90s rock sound with clever lyrics. Will listen again.

I’ve always loved Bjork. Her first album is a real gem. Beautiful music and lyrics.

I despise country music but, in the spirit of the program, decided to listen to this all the way through. It wasn’t terrible, mainly due to all the songs being under 3 minutes long. Not something I’d listen to again, but not mad about having heard it.

Very familiar with this album and while I love electronic music, this gets a little tedious. Fat Boy Slim uses the same trick over and over throughout the album. Very formulaic.

I was familiar with several of their albums and a few of the songs off this one but had never listened to the whole album. It’s fantastic! Great mix of styles and moods with edgier music than what I’m used to from them.

Wasn’t familiar with them. Somehow missed them in the 90s and since I have no nostalgia for this band and album, it was hard to get through. Very pre-grunge alt rock sound but not what I would call quality music.

I would never say “I’m going to put on a George Michael album” but maybe I should! This album was surprisingly good. Not a single bad song and a nice variety of style and pace.

Heard of Sonic Youth but never listened to them. This album was a good place to start. I give it three stars because half of the album came across as brilliant and the other half came across as a little rough around the edges. Still left me with the impression that it is a band worth exploring further.

Jazz meets rock meets Afro-works beats. Definitely worth a listen!

Great album! I listened to it twice. Much deeper and varied than I was expecting.

Classic album. This came out when I was 13 and it has been in my life ever since. Only a few songs on it that I don’t cherish, and those few are full of hyper sexualized lyrics. It’s the only reason it doesn’t get five stars.

Same review I had for Simon and Garfunkel: great songwriting, beautiful songs just boring. I will never say “I really want to hear some Cat Stevens right now.”

I despise country but this is country rock, so I managed to slog through it. Not something I’d seek out on my own but I also wouldn’t hate it playing in the background somewhere (like I would hate country).

Like most albums from this time period: some good songs, some rough around the edges songs. This album had more of the latter.

Not what was expecting! Lots of 80s classics but lots of good, fun tracks and some deep cuts too!

Classic old school rock and roll. Crisp, piano driven bluesy tracks that are all under 3 minutes. How can you hate it?

Beautiful album. Amazing production and songwriting. I’m never going to seek out ABBA but I was perfectly happy to listen to this album in its entirety.

Lots of potential. Interesting soundscape, good production, good mix of rock and electronic but a few songs got very repetitive and tedious.

Clean beats, good production, good rhymes. A classic.
