Joy DivisionSounds quite modern, but lack of strong melodies makes it hard to love.

Groovy melodies and excellent production. Couple dud ballads, but overall a really fun listen.
Great collection of songs with brilliant lyrics.
Replete with timeless songs in a cohesive package. Brilliant.
Great vocals and a few memorable tunes, most songs tended to blend together in my mind though.

Heavy (but interesting) lyrics, however the skits take away from it and only a couple standout tracks.
Excellent production and feel-good songs.
Incredible playing, minus the grunts.
A couple good tracks, but overall not enough melody for me.
Groovy, but repetitive and no standouts.
A bit hokey at times, but some good tracks mixed in there.
Liked the lyrics and the sound, but didn't pull me in.

Iconic sound and some catchy melodies, but could have benefited from more diversity.
Caustic lyrics, great singing. Not many standout tracks.
Most of the songs blended together, broken up by a couple solid rockers.
I enjoyed it, nice and easy listen.
I liked the concept, but the songs blended together and didn't pull me in.
Good musicianship, but forgettable
Unexpected, but I liked it.
Really engaging musically. For the first time, I understand the Prince hype
Really liked this one, though a couple jam sessions dragged too long.
Intimate, and surprisingly melodic. Can't believe this was my first time hearing it.
A couple songs were fine, but overall a bit boring.

Consistently good melodies with a laid-back but engaging sound.

Love this one, big variety in songs and a couple real classics. A few too many songs, but really fun.
Energetic and lively, but production is a bit rough-around-the-edges and only a couple standouts.
Great energy but music didn't pull me in. I think you had to be there.
Not much variety, but good overall with some standout lyrics.
A couple good tunes, but pretty standard 60s fare.
I wasn't expecting to like it as much as I did, but really catchy melodies and a great voice left me pleasantly surprised.
Excellent album that got even better on a 2nd listen. Each song flows into the next, and the music is engaging throughout.
Awkward English lyrics combined with borderline atonal music is not a pleasant listen, though it certainly stands out.

The distinctive sound makes the album a great front-to-back listen, with a handful of standouts.
Sharp, energetic lyrics pulled me in, the catchy melodies held me there. Quite good.
A couple OK songs, but forgettable overall.
A couple fun tracks, but lyrics feel too cheesy to love.
Interesting concept that is well executed, but drags too long. A couple incredible songs cover for the less interesting entries.
Tight production and musicality makes this an easy full-through listen, though some songs drag too long
Starting your album thanking people for listening probably means it's not worth listening to. Cheesy.
No songs stuck out in my mind, not an enjoyable listen.
Some catchy tunes, and raw lyrics (if slightly cheesy). A fun listen.
Really enjoyable listen, from the singing to the laid-back but groovy sound.
Incredible voice, and a few songs that stuck with me, though I wish the engineering was a bit cleaner
Extremely 60s, but consistently good songs and interesting music make it a great listen today.
It feels like I just spent an hour deep in the mid-west, and I really enjoyed it.
