LOVED the harmonies on this album. Otherwise, sounds like standard laurel canyon-esque folk rock (not a bad thing)

why does the lead vocalist sound on the verge of tears??? I like The Weight but otherwise, meh.

Pretty fun, I liked the beaT(s)

This was a beautiful album, and although I find Leonard Cohen’s voice to definitely be an acquired taste, it suited this album and its mood as a whole perfectly.

Not at all what I would normally listen to, but a great listen nonetheless!

Literally a groundbreaking album, a masterpiece and the foundation of a whole genre. Iconic, 5 stars. RIP Ozzy 🖤

Found it to be a bit pretentious and self indulgent. Obviously taking more risks post-Beatles, but it kind of fell flat for me.

Maybe it’s the nostalgia talking, but this is such a wonderful album. The production is very reminiscent of 2007 but somehow doesn’t sound dated in 2025. Time to Pretend is my favorite track, it just gives such a youthful, exuberant vibe.

I, too, don’t want to know what the rich are doing

Songs were fine, but jfc this was possibly the most disjointed album I’ve ever heard. Finding out they broke up the band a year later was not at all shocking

Would never have listened to this otherwise, super glad I did!

Pretty cool that this was released so early. that being said, this was just ok for me

Very meh. Found the lyrics to be dull and uninspired. Sounds too much like other indie-pop albums from that era but doesn’t really measure up.

I enjoyed this album! Interesting beats and samples, I particularly liked the one of “Les Fleurs” in Thin Line.

Incredibly tedious to get through. Lyrics seemed (to me, at least) surface level and cringy. Not to mention, overall boring as SHIT I already can’t stand U2, so I tried to keep an open mind, but this album encapsulates all the things that irritate me about this band (mostly Bono tbh). They try too hard to sound deep, but it doesn’t seem like they actually know what that entails.

I have heard this before and did not remember liking it as much as I do now! Maybe it grew on me, but either way, it feels ahead of its time in some respects. ETA: the more I listen to this, the more I love it. If the weaker songs were left off this would be perfect, so I’d rate it a 4.5.

Sounded like a jam session between friends, which was charming in a way. It was fine, I enjoyed it but didn’t love it

Pretty ahead of its time and pleasant to listen to.

This album showed me that I like hip hop more than I thought I did. I love the creativity in the beats, sampling, etc.

I enjoyed this. I tend to enjoy the type of music where you could tell they were heavily abusing drugs while making it. Overall great sound. Leaning 3 only because it dragged a bit for me

This album flows so so SO well. Erykah Badu’s voice seems to be polarizing, but I find it suits her neo-soul style and overall vibe very very well. The final track probably could have been cut a bit, but otherwise, a totally gorgeous album. 5/5

Very good and so influential for so many bands/artists I love. Loses points bc Hong Kong garden aged like milk.

Incredible, a true classic at this point. A literal game changer. Kurt Cobain was the breath of fresh air the rock scene needed in the midst of hair metal hell. True king shit

It’s fun and different, but not something I would particularly gravitate to. I thought some of the songs dragged on a bit too long.

This album was super popular when I was in high school so I associate this heavily with that time. Better than I remember it being. Obviously Adele has an amazing voice, so it’s a very easy listen. Some songs in the middle of the album did kind of blend together for me. Overall, a very good album.

Starts off strong with Immigrant Song, then kind of loses steam right after. Just ok.

Paul Rodgers has a nice voice, and I enjoyed most of the songs on this album. I liked the sultry tones throughout, and it suited the Rodgers’s voice well. A good listen, albeit a bit generic.

It was a beautiful day before I turned this dogshit on. Easily the blandest, most inane drivel I’ve ever had the displeasure of listening to. Some of the most shallow, unoriginal lyrics to receive this much acclaim. I think the worst part is some songs have the potential to actually be good, like Elevation, if it wasn’t for Bono wailing like a cat in heat intermittently throughout the song. I seriously do not get the hype.

I thought this was pretty fun and a bit different as far as typical country music. Might listen to it again in the future.
