Two favourited songs.

Not my thing.

Champagne Supernova is a good song (by far my favourite on the album), yet overall I'm...meh. Maybe Oasis was overplayed on the radio. Or maybe I really do prefer Blur.

Uplifting.

Unremarkable (to me)

Mildly funky

For some reason this just left me with a Paranoid earworm.

Country rock definitely not my thing.

A classic.

Perfectly cromulent metal.

An 80s classic.

Couple of good tracks

Title track (as great as it is) is the only notable track

There are some great tracks in the shadow of the title track.

Minus one star for being exhausting to listen to for any length of time. But plus one star to recognise its contribution to basically creating a new genre of music.

His best album, IMO.

One of his better 60's albums

Practically a cover band.

Slightly less mainstream than I was expecting. Hard to separate the music from the person though.

Ugh, the abundance of gun culture.

Unexpectedly more experimental sound art than industrial music. But I dig it.

I kinda wanna listen to Jeff Buckley now.

*shrug*

Possibly my favourite Radiohead album.

A hidden gem.

A bangin' album, and I'm not even into rap.

*shrug*

Common is a good way of describing it.

I definitely could not listen to more than half an hour of this at a time.

I was expecting to recognise more than one song...

Suedehead by far the best track on the album.

I'd give it 3.5 stars if I could.

Hopefully their best album is also in this list...

39 minute albums seem short these days. Surely you could've squeezed one more song onto side A and still be shorter than the B side :P

Meh.

Commercial radio fodder.

No notes.

3.5 stars.

2.8 stars?

62 minutes of guitar noise and screaming. I clearly still haven't recovered from my sister playing this nonstop in 1987.

s'okay I guess

2.6 stars

2.4 stars

3.5 stars. A few good tracks I'd never heard of before.

2.9 stars. Cromulent.

2.7 stars

That's not the album's correct title...

2.5 stars

2.9 stars. Only one notable track.

Notable for early Janis Joplin. 3.2 stars.

3.6 stars

A bit noisy for my tastes. 2.5 stars. 😅

Finishes on a banger. 3.1 stars.

Not bad, but also tending toward unremarkable. 2.5 stars.

Much energy. 3.1 stars.

Unremarkable. 1.5 stars.

2.5 stars.

3.5 stars

Eh, one notable song. 2.9 stars.

3.5 stars

Quite decent for something not really my thing. 3.4 stars

Pleasantly 80's. 3.5 stars.

3.4 stars.

4.8 stars.

Surely there are plenty of other Depeche Mode albums more worthy for this list?

2.5 stars

Worthy of a GTA soundtrack. 3.5 stars

2.5 stars

2.8 stars. Cromulent 70's folky Neil Young.

Quite eclectic. 2.6 stars.

3.5 stars

2.5 stars (subtracting half a star due to being subjected to this (along with Def Leppard) endlessly in the 80's)

If only spotify wasn't missing half the tracks

2.9 stars.

2.5 stars

An instrumental version of this album would be worth 1.5 more stars.

3.5 stars

3.7 stars.

Some interesting songs! 3.5 stars

Meh.

A bit cringe. Another example where instrumental versions would be an improvement.

Why are there so many Deep Purple albums on this list?

Meh

2.5 stars.

Unremarkable. 2.5 stars

Nothing wrong with it, just not my thing.

3.5 stars

A couple of good songs...but 2.5 stars.

2.5 stars

So many Arcade Fire albums on this list. 🤔

Dear record companies, please stop reissuing the same album with different tracks on it. No love, me.

Very listenable given the genre.

Rather tiring to listen to after a while

Spotify has nuked most of the tracks on this album, sigh.

Good, but not their best.

Overrated.

Impossible to sit still while listening to this.

Kid A's less attractive sibling.

I feel like this album lives in the shadow of Stop Making Sense.

Shrug

The near-continuous shouting was somewhat fatiguing to listen to.

What did I just listen to?

I feel half the songs appearing twice (mono, stereo) is a bit unnecessary.

TIL deez nuts originated here.

A response to Sgt Pepper's, 37 years later?
