Popular Reviews

Wow, I generally don't listen to much Dylan but this was really amazing

I get the 60s psychedelic thing. This was just noise

That voice is like nails on a chalkboard

It sounds like he was already on the nostalgia circuit

Easy, comfortable music. Nice and slow and sultry.

Classic Nick Drake. You can hear the sadness and I find it so comforting somehow.

I love this album so much

Sounds like the Talking Heads. But generally unremarkable

Wow, I generally don't listen to much Dylan but this was really amazing

I generally like Elvis Costello. I generally like this album. Hence the 3 stars. There never really a day where I'd say no but there's also never really a day where I list him as my go to.

I can see how this really influenced 80s music. Seems really slow by today's standards but all in all I liked it

I liked this one more than the previous TH album. I'll definitely listen again

Classic album. A bit redundant but Muddy Waters is great

The vocal harmonies are always beautiful but I don't think this is one of my favorite beach boys albums

Ya, good rock.

Quirky. Not sure this is my jam

That was like an elevator ride that would never end.

Still one of my all time favorites

Kept getting better and better as the tracks went on. Maybe it just put me in a better mood.

I completely agree it should be on this list. But it isn't really my taste. There were a few songs I liked though.

I like the music and the lyrics. His voice is just a bit too grating to really enjoy it

Pretty typical late Elvis album.

I really liked this when it came out. But so wispy and ethereal for me now.

I get the 60s psychedelic thing. This was just noise

I think there's a finite amount of Boston a person can listen to. I reached my limit in 1988.

How very "Brian Wilson"

This was surprisingly good. I remember when it came out and I really didn't like it then but I guess I was a kid and didn't understand

Will this album ever end? It sounds like an album Thom York would put out of he was working at a local coffee shop and trying to impress a sad girl.

I was really surprised that I disliked this one

I like prog rock. I like instrumental jazz. I don't like this album.

This is the greatest album that has ever been recorded. If I could give it all of my stars I would. I love it so much

Really nice

That voice is like nails on a chalkboard

Nice background music

I really liked this but it was just way too damn long.

There's a couple of songs on here I really hate but the rest are pretty good so they average out.

I thought this one was actually a hard one to rate. There's a couple songs that I really enjoyed. But the avant-garde stuff is really not my thing

I'm surprised I didn't hate this. His voice is still painful to listen to buy the music behind the singing was pretty good.

That was better than I thought it would be

I find this album generally disagreeable

Was this Cory Wong 3 years before he was born?

It is hard to get past the success of Toy Story. This album sounds like a collection of sad Toy Story songs and happy Toy Story songs.

Some questionable lyrics, even for the early 80s but I liked the music

It is pretty rare for me to dislike every song on an album

This sounds like Radiohead lite. I really disliked it for the same reasons I dislike Radiohead.

Some really great songs but damn this is just way too long of an album. 51 tracks for 4:30? No thanks

The whole time I listened I kept thinking this was some sort of inside joke. They can't really think this was good, right?

This album is just about perfect

It sounds like he was already on the nostalgia circuit

Generic 70s rock and roll

Listening to this album and there's no surprise how biggie died

It was pretty repetitive and I was thinking of rating it 2 stars but then Mr Blue Sky came on. That's a great song.

I didn't like it when it came out and it didn't get any better over the past 35 years

I saw them in concert at West Point in 1990 and absolutely hated them. But this album was really great

This one's kind of hard to rate. It is indeed ambient tracks, which I generally enjoyed, but don't know that I would ever want to listen to again??? At least not as a whole album

Tom Waits is one of the few where I do genuinely love some of the songs but often ask wtf on others, even on the same album.

I feel like this is going to be one of those albums that I absolutely love after I've listened to it five or six times

The electric jug is a very interesting instrument.

A few really fun songs but not sure how often I would think to listen to this

This really shows how much of the Sex Pistols was really Malcolm McLaren. Without him John Lydon is just an insufferable asshole with studio time.

Late 60s sugar pop

The sounds of the great recession. You know exactly what you're getting with this one.

If I heard a song here or there it would be fine but a whole album was too much

It was a nice album to listen to as I drove through the Scottish Highlands today

Much better than I expected. It sounds more raw than their later, more popular stuff

What a pretentious fucking wanker. He's made a career out of calling everything and everyone "boring" but all of his music sounds the same
