There are two types of people: those who like Steely Dan and those who are wrong. Composition, playing, mix/production are all spot on.

This is so fun! Laura beautifully bends the rules of traditional midcentury pop through this whole album to give us something that sounds familiar in its production, but new and interesting in its form.

Just a good ol classic rock album, and theres nothing wrong with that… but nothing really stands out to make the album memorable or unique either. Seagull, the only acoustic song on the album, was a welcome relief from the standard rock tunes and did in fact peak my ears at the end of album, leaving me wanting more of what Bad Company can come up with.

Such an all over the place album that touched upon damn near every corner of music that would define the 90s sound. Ton of classic hits on here, but this was the first time I’ve listened to this album top down and Mellowship Slinky and They’re Red Hot came as fun surprises. Anthony Kiedis is a piss poor singer, but his raw passion combined with Flea, Frusciante, and Chad’s crazy playing are what make the Chilli Peppers.

I don’t really want to like this album but I kinda do. Its too clean and polished to be a good punk album and too fast and loud to be a good pop album… but thats what makes Dookie, and Green Day’s sound following it, so unique. Their blend of pop and punk better than any other pop punk band out there.

I’m not the worlds biggest Bowie fan to begin with, but why is this the album that this site chose to represent him? Its fine and does have some good tunes, but it largely sounds like David struggled to record vocals across it… it has kind of a cool Neil Young sound to it but that’s not the sound anyone associates with THE Ziggy Stardust

This is a wild ride, especially comparing with Bowie’s previous album the next day. Very 80s style arranging but with a modern feel and tone that shares a lot in common with a lot of current R&B and soul records. 2016 was an outstanding year for music and this album is a big contributor.

Good n weird, raw n gritty. Production is all great, and lyrics take us on a fun journey. Gotta start being the dbag that won’t shut up about Portishead

I discovered N.E.R.D maybe a year ago fell in love pretty quick, but haven’t heard this album before. It’s categorized as hiphop/rap, but it has more consistent rock production elements to it than any other N.E.R.D record I’ve listened to… which I dig. I think Seeing Sounds is still MY top nerd album, but this should no less a testament to N.E.R.D‘s versatility and range (which, given all the talent in the project’s roster, is expected)

I just don’t like the Ramones. Too milk toast to be punk, not talented enough to be anything else.

There’s nothing to complain about with this album unless you aren’t a fan of 80s synth pop… which I am not. Sledgehammer is kind of a bop but the rest just isn’t my cuppa tea
