All Ratings (388)

Listenable but not my vibe. Best track = Living For The City

I thought this was solid throughout. Good background music. Best track = Hey Hey,My My (Into The Black)

Still not a Bruce fan after listening to this in it's entirety. It was OK but I can't think of a time I'd intentionally listen again. Best track - I'm On Fire

No words - just Collin...Wish You Were Here. Thanks for sending this to us today. You're always with us.

Classic through and through. Not sure I remembered that it had a softer side as well. Top track - War Pigs

i'll listen again

Meh

Classic. Favorite track - You've Got a Friend

Listenable metal. Favorite track - Infected Voice

Awful. I'm not sure I had a favorite track but I could relate to the lyric "I hate it here. Get me out of here" while listening.

Ok but I'd never listen on purpose. Best track - Champagne Supernova

Listenable in the background

Ugh!

Although this one might not be my favorite, it seems like any Bob Marley album is better than the best of most artists.

Started well, then... Best track-What's Going On

Solid but not as spectacular as I expected. Favorite track- To Know Him Is To Love Him

I expected this to hold up better than it does. Does remastering ever actually improve anything? Best track - Church of the Poison Mind

Iconic, although With or Without Chew will forever offend my articulation sensibilities. Best track - Running To Stand Still

Ok but not great

It got better as it went along

Best song - Just The Way You Are

Still not an Elvis fan. Best song-Fever

Great artist, bad album.

Best track-Beck's Bolero

Solid throughout. Best track - The Unforgiven

Best thing was the album art. Music was too bubblegum for me.

Hard to pick a best track when they're all so similar. I guess I'll go with Rollin' & Scratchin'.

Sounds like Depeche Mode on Valium

Well, there went my plan to listen to every album in its entirety before passing judgment. I could barely make it through 15 seconds of each track on this one.

I wanted to like it but the vocals dragged it down.

Whiney, self-indulgent crap.

Bubblegum...in that it's good for a few minutes (Son of a Preacher Man) but quickly loses its flavor after that.

This was like a surprisingly good opening act when you showed up to see another band.

Southern Man

I didn't realize i knew as many of these songs as I did. Not only that, but I hear their influence on Franz Ferdinand, Jack White, The Cure and The Cranberries to name just a few.

I saw The Killers live when they were touring to support this album. They played it in its entirety plus maybe one more song. It was probably the shortest show I've ever seen but was great nonetheless.

Sounded like Alice in Chains light

Saved from 2 stars on the title track alone

1979? Sounds way before it's time.

If I gave Imagine 3 stars on the strength of the title track, I guess I should do the same here based in Maybe I'm Amazed. Again, I see why people were mad at Yoko if this was what was immediately following The Beatles.

One of the few albums I can remember where is was when i heard for the very first time.

This one surpassed my expectations.

This would have been better if it only had the title track.

This is my favorite U2 album.

this is another example of a double album that would have been better if it weren't.

I would have liked it better without the commentary.

Who knew they had a song other than Come On Eileen much less a whole album without it. Know wonder they're known as a one-hit wonder.

The album itself is almost as imaginative as the title.

Classic, but I missed another chance to listen while watching Wizard of Oz.

This one started out promising and faded fast. Best track was Safe From Harm.

Nice ambient music. Best track was Cobra Bora.

This one sounds like they're trying too hard. It reminds me of someone you meet in line waiting for the bathroom and quickly realize you can't get away fast enough.

I saw Patti Smith open for the Indigo Girls at Red Rocks years ago and it was hands down the worst live performance I've ever seen. I wasn't too familiar with her music so I've always wondered if she just had on off night. While that may have been the case, this album suggests she didn't have much to work with anyway.

nothing about this stood out. it was just ok

another one that started ok and then went downhill fast

Perfect album for a rainy day

Awful

Considering the fact that my dislike of Back on the Chain Gang has been enough to keep me from exploring much more of The Pretenders, this one surpassed my expectations.

Despite thinking when I first saw this that I'd never heard of this album, I realized while listening that I knew a bunch of it. It was a nice surprise.

This album has a bunch of good songs but all together don't equal the sum of its parts.

solid and a surprisingly listenable double album

At first I thought this would be a mess, but it hooked me in the second track. Overall. A nice surprise.

I liked this better in my memory.

Awful

This snuck up to a 3 based solely on the bass player

disappointing

Solid from beginning to end with no weak spots. Also, Welcome to the Jungle is perhaps one of the most fitting/iconic opening tracks on any album.

album as a whole was only ok but "these goldfish know jiu jitsu" is a great lyric

Of the ex-Beatle solo albums that have been on this list, this one is by far the best but still only okay.

This sounds like an uninspired knockoff of Insane Clown Posse.

Tolerable but boring.

I had a poor impression heading in and after listening to it it didn't even meet that low expectation.

I expected to like this more. All in all, not a very strong album past the title track.

This is another '80s album that didn't hold up as well as I thought it would.

Only made it to 2 based on Come On Eileen

There are some great songs here, but they're evened out by too many that are, ironically, bad.

This one surpassed my expectations, especially given that it is ANOTHER English electronic album on this list

Hard to believe these guys are still making new music today. This album sounds ancient.

For me this was just okay but I could see where someone else would like it quite a bit better.

If I still know every word of every song 30 years after I first heard it, it's an automatic 5.

Is it just me or does this album cover look like Kiss with no makeup?
