It's a little too weird for me. Some songs feel like they are moreso trying to create a sound than make a song.

I like it, but it does not quite reach 4 stars for me.

I like the instrumentals. The lyrics are just not the greatest.

Yes

Way too experimental for me.

Not bad, just very generic to me.

I'd happily put half of this album on a playlist and listen to it occasionally. Close enough to the music I like to be enjoyable once in a while.

I like two songs, the rest just does not stand out to me.

I like the more basic heavy metal songs enough not to rate it lower, but don't like Slipknot's particular brand of metal enough to rate it higher.

Some songs are great, the rest meh. I enjoy listening to it more than the albums that have come before so far, but I don't want to give it a 4. I don't like her voice all that much.

Weird album. I like more songs than I probably should.

It's okay. Just doesn't grip me at all. Also a little too Christian for me.

I like the first half of the album enough to give it a 4, and am so ambivalent to the second half it still ends up getting a 3.

I imagine this is what rock and folk sound like to people who hate rock and folk.

We have Elvis at home. Elvis at home:

Bland. Kinda reminds me of early Taylor Swift.

Wayyy too slow for me. Also too sad.

Sleep-inducing. Very tough to get through, even whilst cutting songs short.

Starts great but does overstay its welcome.

Nice background music

None of the specific songs I like are on this album, but the sound is certainly there. Funky. This is a 3.5 kind of album.

Not bad, not remarkable. No complaints.

It's very experimental in a way I really don't enjoy.

Not bad, just kind of basic metal (for obvious reasons).

I really enjoy this as background music

Not for me. Probably too 60s.

I don't think I would have liked this even when I was into R&B. Every song sounds the same all the way through. Her voice is great though.

This album makes me appreciate how far we've come. I can now just turn on my streaming service of choice instead of having to turn on the radio and be subjected to this shit.

Sounds a bit...random?

Mixed bag. I like the instrumentals and some of the lyrics, but other lyrics are just so meh.

I like it well enough, but a lot of rapping gets a bit same-y. 3.5?

Alternative and especially experimental are just really not for me. Nothing is going on in these lyrics.

I don't enjoy the Beatles so it shouldn't be too much of a surprise that I don't like this boring stuff either.

It's good, I think? Not for me but not at all bad. Hard to describe tbh.

It's just so bland and slow and boring.

3.5ish? Not my kind of metal but a very good band regardless.

Not for me but by no means bad.

It is by no means bad, but the melancholy gets really boring really quick.

Would have given it a 2 maybe if not for the lyrics. Very future-convict edgelord teen vibes.

What is going on?? It definitely catches my attention with every song, but not in a good way. Even Kevin has to chime in to express negative confusion on this one. I see a lot of more positive reviews on this site begrudgingly admit the vocals might not be for everyone, and like, the instrumentals are surely worse? What /is/ going on??

Aw man. I knew and like Roundabout, but the rest of the album is so...experimental?

I really don't like moody progressive rock.

I'm not a fan of songs that are too long or too same-y. But it's certainly closer to the kind of electronic music that I do like than all that's come before (on this site).

This kind of sounds like they tried to replicate the Beatles but made it as bad as possible on purpose. It's a very solid 1.

It's not /bad/, but it's very... boring and same-y. Many songs are way longer than they should be.

This could be menu music from Gran Turismo if it leaned more towards jazz. That's a good thing. 3.5?

I liked this one way more than I expected. Very funky. Maybe a little reminiscent of Bowie voice-wise?

She is not bad at all. The lyrics are good, the music more diverse than your average guitar-wielding singer-songwriter, but it is still singer-songwriter so far too boring/slow for me.

I did not realise that British punk rock sounded so same-y. It's good, but gets boring when it's an entire album.

I'm not old or American enough to enjoy this. It's just... okay. Kevin thinks it "not very interesting".

I am fairly ambivalent to the first half of the album. The second half of the album sounds more like The Police I know, which is a sound I don't particularly care for. Why then a 2, and not a middle-of-the-road 3? Mother.

This is one of those "If this list was not so focussed on the USA, this wouldn't be in here." albums. It's a basic country album. Every song sounds the same, and is about the same thing: heartbreak. It doesn't do anything noteworthy. It's just... boring.

The album has a very uniform "I can't be too loud or I'll wake up my parents" sound. It doesn't sound /bad/, but the whispering gets old really quick. I also acknowledge that Spotify's audio balancing is non-existent, but it irks me that I had to double my volume to actually hear this album.

I like rock and I like folk, separate and together, but Simon and Garfunkel just don't mix them together in a way I usually enjoy.

I am two years older than this album, and I am still not old enough for this.

I've never actually listened to the Smiths before either. If they're anything like the lead singer solo here, I made a good choice. What a whiny boring album. My Spotify stopped at the third-to-last song, and I am okay with that. I don't need more of this whispery shit.

Spotify's description of this band calls them a commercial failure, and I can hear that. It also calls them very influential, but I don't really hear anything you can't get out of the Beatles.

I will not pretend I am an expert on drugs of any kind, but I don't hear the "made by drugs" or "made for drugs" psychedelic pop is meant to have. This just sounds like average English pop music seemingly best described as "ugh". This is the kind of stuff the English send to Eurovision, and then they don't understand why no one votes for them. I think I know the last song from a beer ad?

Not bad (though very whiny at times vocals-wise), but very same-y. Girls Just Wanna Have Fun and Time After Time are definitely the best songs on this album.

This honestly just sounds like average boring English pop (I know they're Welsh), with a brief glitch during "No Sympathy". Radio DJs, notorious for having no taste, would have loved this some twenty years ago.

If a genre of music existed that was purely called "trash", this might be it. The distortions and such just sound like low-quality instrumentals, and...the vocals... this is that "I talk over music" genre of 'rap'. I am not really surprised to find that 'Sabotage' in particular was featured in a loooot of low quality US media. I stopped at track 10 (out of 20) to listen to literally anything else. Normally I try to at least get the idea of the rest of the songs even if I really don't like the album, but this is just garbage.

Generic early-2000s radio music. Inoffensive and perhaps a little bland for 90% of the time. What is that techno section though?
