Love the vocal layering of the first track metronomic underground, almost minimalist feel. Last track has such a good vibe. Very low key fun minimalist electronic pop
Amazing vibe, just so cool and filled with great hooks. Lots of classics on this one, banger after banger.
Not my favorite. Pleasant enough and dreamy vibes but just not connecting with it. First song is best
Great album, a couple slow spots but the pop hits are wonderful. Def a product of its times
Great album, a couple slow spots but the pop hits are wonderful. Def a product of its times
Solid album, title track is great, album has a couple spots where is loses steam
Some really strong moments and great vocals but the production falls flat occasionally and it drags a bit at points, may revisit this one again
Heard jump and Panama and hot for teacher a bunch growing up in the 80s and 90s, hard to hear them with fresh ears. Album is ok but just not connecting with me, not enough depth for my taste. If I was a high schooler in the 80s I am sure this would hit different for me
Very much generic drug store music, some good singles but so overplayed and nothing with any teeth, production is very dull.
I love this and immediately connected with it. Genre defying in the best way. Such fun energy and captivating hooks. Can’t get enough, where has this been hiding all my life!
Lyrics a little cringy at times, I feel like this is either your vibe or not. I am very much not a beach person. Last song is nice but I really just am not enjoying this very much.
Very much Bon Jovi, the singles were all super hits and this album is more of that flavor. Wish there was more variety, just feels a bit samey.
Very good album, powerful harmonies and amazing guitar work. Not connecting enough with the lyrics to give it a 5 but very good.
Fun album and very catchy. Paper planes is a classic and this album has a few bangers for sure.
One of my favorites, during a great era with Bowie. Love the flow of this album and how it never overstays its welcome. Great rock album
Super atmospheric and has a brooding energy. Abrasive at times but I just keep coming back for more. Now I need to hear more by them
Has some moments here and there but not big on the vocal style and growling. Won’t be coming back to this one often if at all.
Some amazing singles here and very enjoyable. Album is a little long and the strictly Moby parts without any strong samples are pretty weak. If it was tighter it would probably get 5 stars
Really good live album, just has a wonderful flow and the solos are excellent. Listened to it twice in a row and it helped me lock in at work.
Enjoyable but uneven and besides Maybe I’m Amazed I don’t think I will be coming back to this much if at all.
Easy listening but nothing really drawing me in or leaving much of an impression. Surfs up is nice but this isn’t going to be revisited anytime soon
Liked this but just not connecting with it on the level most people seem to. LZ has all the elements that I should love but I just never want to listen to them. Immigrant song is the clear stand out here but the album never really hits the same height after.
Has a moment or two but really forgettable. Just feels bland and I don’t think I will be revisiting
Was hoping for something more interesting. I can get into a long jam but nothing here grabs my attention. Overlong and hard to finish, will not be back to this.
Starts strong but really loses steam and gets so dull. Very forgettable music to me, I just feel like I listened to something that left me with so little after.
I enjoyed this, not super memorable but the vibe was fun and I would be happy to listen to this again, very easy to digest
Really uneven and nothing super interesting here for me. Eight miles high as the high point for me but I just didn’t enjoy this sound very much. Psychedelic rock has left this so far behind it is hard to go back
I enjoyed this, the production was nice and varied. I could see myself coming back to some of these once in a while. Had never heard of Dion prior to this site.
Ok at first but gets so repetitive as the album goes. I didn’t hate it but I just was wishing for it to be over about half way through.
I love this, just cooler than cool. Venus in furs is still striking and how ahead of its time this album was can’t be understated
Such a wonderful collection of songs. Superstition is one of the best songs ever made and you are the sunshine of my life is so beautiful. One of the best albums by maybe the greatest of all time
One of my favorites, just has that special magic flow. Loaded with classics like without you, coconut, and gotta get up. Variety of song styles and nothing overstays its welcome
Definitely hear the influence he had on Bowie but I just don’t like this as much as what Bowie did. The singing and songwriting is good but it just lacks that weirdness and fun that I need to draw me in, just some crooning.
I want to like this so badly but I just can’t get into her style of singing. I love the lyrics she writes and the vivid imagery but her voice just wears on me. Second half is better than first half.
Very nice tunes. Sprawling and lengthy but really pleasant to listen to, I think the album would benefit from being a bit trimmed for general listening experience but I am sure fans want all they can get. Incredible guitar work
Wow, this is so good. Normally not a fan of double albums but there isn’t a filler song on here. Like two solid albums released at once. Beautiful, soulful, rich music that is loaded with every emotion available. You know it’s something special when you finish a double album and immediately start it over again.
Nice album, some solid pop that I am surprised wasn’t bigger in the US. Not groundbreaking but very competent. Common people is great
The energy of the first two tracks is amazing and really draws you in but I found the album fizzled out as it went on.
Solid pop with some great songs. It was hard to get through the 90s without hearing a ton of this. Not my thing exactly but I see why they were successful and this absolutely belongs on this list
I enjoyed parts of this, I think I will probably revisit this a few times. I get a sense of depth here and I think I need to listen over a period to absorb it properly. Voice is very unique and absolutely belongs on this list. I enjoyed it more than not but definitely not instant love
Really nice album, sublime and chill. Definitely pleasant and worth checking out. Dreamy vibes
Wish this grabbed me a bit more. Very repetitive and I really wished for some variety. Not unpleasant but I won’t be revisiting this. Just background guitar music to me.
Classic album, one of the first cds I got back in the 90s as a kid so this will always have some nostalgia for me but there is a lot to enjoy here.
Amazing album, wonderful rich production and loaded with soothing fun music. Immediately grabs you and keeps it going. Wouldn’t it be nice and god only knows are amazing pop songs.
Was going to rate this a 3 but on my third listen and it seems to be growing on me. Nice, pleasant, moody, goth rock. Not blowing my mind but well made and worth listening to and revisiting.
This was great, hadn’t heard of this band before. Amazing unique vocal styling that I am sure is polarizing but I really enjoyed it. Solid all the way through.
It’s alright, I didn’t really feel much listening to this. I feel like I should like this more than I do, it seems well done but I can’t connect with any of it and it seems bland. Maybe listening at the right time makes this album worth listening to but I just have no desire to revisit this.
Fun energy and the horns give it character but I didn’t find a lot here that I want to go back to. I had a hard time understanding the lyrics so if there was a lot of depth here it went right over my head
Love this album, one of the first jazz albums I heard as a teen and Take Five made me realize I could be into it. Great throughout and absolutely worthy of being on this list.
I can see why this is important and groundbreaking but musically I don’t think this stands the test of time. The Marvin Gaye cover was nice but I don’t think I will be coming back to this.
Groundbreaking album with Around the World and Da Funk being true classics in the genre. Album has a couple slow spot and lulls which keep it from 5 stars for me, their later albums are better.
Thought I liked Beastie Boys more than I do. The loved the samples and instrumentation but I just found all the vocals grating and obnoxious. A song on occasion seems ok but listening to them for a whole album was too much for me.
I love this, never heard of this at all. Feels painfully relevant 33 years later. Beats hold up and it feels more modern. Solid flow and powerful, I want more of this!
This grew on me so much after listening a few times. I went from thinking this was a 3 star album to now thinking this is solidly 5 stars. Beautiful music full of emotion and rich production. If you find this album boring as I did at first give it another chance or two and you might be well rewarded.
Bass was great and the only thing I enjoyed here. Vocals were awful and ruined what might have been enjoyable. Listened to this twice and disliked it more the second time. Not going to revisit this anytime soon
Really great, heard the single a bunch in the 90s but the whole album is solid with great flow. She is a fantastic songwriter
Beautiful album, just great acoustic music with rich production. Easy to connect with and pleasing.
These songs seem well done but I just can’t connect to this genre. Lots of themes of heartbreak with country sounds. Not unpleasant but nothing I see myself coming back to any time soon.
Amazing vocals but the problem with reviewing an album like this is the hits have been played to death and the over-saturation makes it really unenjoyable to listen to. If I could hear this album fresh without hearing any of it before I would probably love this but it just doesn’t hold my interest at this point. Lovesong was nice, I hadn’t heard that before
Very odd and unlike many albums I have heard for better at times but mostly for worse. I just didn’t get into the music itself and the skits/bits weren’t entertaining enough to overcome this to me. I appreciate them having some fun but I just don’t see myself wanting to listen to this regularly. Twice through was enough.
