I dont know why, but I have always found R.E.M. annoying. If you like them rock on but they are not for me.

A fun little country record. Some enjoyable vocals and like the final track although I probably would have liked this more if it was just a straight psych album

I think I would enjoy these songs more if they where song by the actual people who inspired Elvis. I get why this is here but beyond that not much excitement here.

Non-stop bangers. I rated this 5 the first time and rating it a 5 again.

Bowie - stick with rock and roll man. You are not to write ambient stuff. The first half is OK but then you get into that ambient back half and while ambient music can be enjoyable it seems Bowie doesn't really know how to make it interesting in any way. If half stars where an option this would be a 2.5. Since I gave this a 3 the first time around I'll average it out by giving it a 2 this time. Give me Byrne and Eno over Bowie and Eno any day.

I gave this a 4 the first time around. But damn I enjoyed it even more this time. I found myself listening to it all weekend and singing along by Sunday. For that reason, I am giving it a 5 this time. These songs are very enjoyable right from jump. 1969 was a great year for music it seems.

Politically charged, and just as relevant today as it was in 1992, this debut record by Rage Against the Machine pulls no punches and isn't afraid to really make a statement right from rip.

Its interesting listening to this again. I remember the first time around I really liked it and it inspired me to listen to the rest of the B-52s discography. Coming back to this after that it seems that while this is a great record and you can tell they already found their sound they didn't really perfect this weird oddball sound until their next record which came out almost less than a year after this. With that perspective in mind I am dropping my rating a bit from my first playthrough. This is a great introduction to this band and their sound however so it does what it needs to do being on this list.

I barely remember listening to this the first time, and I barely remember listening to it this time. It blends in with all the other 70s punk

This one was a 3 last time and started as a 3 on first relisten. I listened to it a few more times today and it grew on me and really there is some great stuff from the solo outing. Some of it reminded me of Pink Floyd's work. One I could easily see myself coming back to again in the future. Not sure why this one didnt really strike me on the first attempt but there is some really strong songwriting here

Good stuff. Not quite sure why it doesn't quite feel like a 5 to me, but here we are.

Enjoyable record. Another situation where for whatever reason debut albums seem to have more weight than later records even if the later records are better. With that being said, still a great start to this band. Loved them since day 1.

Looking at my past reviews for Sinatra records I have this one the highest rating. This does not bode well for the remaining albums. Sinatra really shines at being flat here. I am more interested in what Antonio has to offer at this point.

Exhibit A on why Eno and Byrne are one of the best pairings in music. Sure you could say its just all weird sounds but man I could listen to this on repeat and enjoy it every time. Some great rhythm and samples. It just sounds so cool.

Very enjoyable! Could listen to this for a while and it is very relaxing.

This is fine. Luckily its short lived and some of the songs are catchy but that's about it.

I dont know. How to you rate this? Last time I gave it a 4 but knowing more about Lennon this time and honestly it just didnt grab me as much as it did on the orginal run. Knocking it down a star.

Very repetitive. I was generous the first time around, but not so much this time.

Something about this grows on you. I didnt think I would like it at first and when I looked at my rating from last time I thought I was being generous but it actually is a 4 maybe even a 5. Fuck it - its a 5

Enjoyable record. Worth noting though that this ended the first edition of the book but was removed in later editions

Great music is great music.

Not horrible, and I get The Smiths inspire a lot of music, but a lot of it seems reptitive. I do like the singles though and I gave it a 3 last time, going to stay the same this time!

I dont know why, but I have always found R.E.M. annoying. If you like them rock on but they are not for me.

Fantastic stuff.

It starts out rough but man does it grow on you. I can see why it would be polarizing but I am in the camp of this rocks.
