Better than I expected. Fun and a little more loose vs what I was anticipating.

An all-time great album.

Only able to listen to a few tracks that are available in the US. Chill

Birth of EMO A few genre defining songs

The birth of heavy metal. Heavy guitar and lyrics that haunt.

Heavy on ballads and a clear focus on vocals. More yacht rock pop vs disco, but the disco roots are starting to take hold with the thick drum and bass lines. Uninteresting at best.

Album is only partially available in the USA on Spotify. It was a mix of 60’s HAIR mashed with telecaster sparkle guitar licks.

An album that I know is a classic, but I just can’t get to it. The melodies are gorgeous, the lyrics are undoubtedly beautiful, but for some reason - I can’t reach it.

Helping alt-kids dance since 1981. Alt-Dance was born with this album, and that cannot be denied. The songs are maybe on the long side and might benefit from additional mixing, but it’s classic status and importance cannot be denied.

All time prog-rock classic. Samples by hip-hop royalty and covers by rock gods only cement the importance of this album.

When this was recorded, guitar rock/pop music was only 10 years old. They are caught somewhere between wanting to sound like early Beatles and Sgt Peppers Beatles. Time of the Season is a classic, but This Will Be Our Year is a personal all-time favorite.

A classic. Just not for me.

A really fun listen. No tracks shined brighter than the others, but as a whole, it’s a great album. So In Love seems to be the most popular song from this record and it’s a jam for sure. The horns!

No.

Unexpectedly fun listen.

A classic alt-garage-southern rock album. Literally every song on this album is worth a listen on repeat.

An all-time great album with songs that will be played forever.

It's been a really long time since I last listened to this album. Its alchemy cannot be denied. The magic of music is that it can transcend time and place. Listening to a song can instantly transport you from whatever mundane middle-aged moment you're experiencing and place you right back in the middle of an exciting memory that you haven't thought about in 30 years... The relationship between this album and me personally - that's exactly the problem - too many memories... When I hear the brooding music and the mysterious lyrics, it places me dead center of so many dumb antics from my teenage years that it's a tough record for me to listen to... Attempting to separate myself from my memories, this album is the culmination of a lot of great rock bands that preceded it, as this album also gave birth to exponentially more bands and even more want-to-be front men. I don't know how you give this album anything other than 5 stars. Every song triumphs (except for maybe 20th Century Fox.) I just really wish I wasn't such an idiot teenager.

As a proud dad of two amazing daughters, I’m comfortably in my Swiftie era. Evermore is a slow burner and offers a more mature take on her song writing…

A classic, but didn’t capture me on this listen.

An album that celebrates women is always a great thing, and this album is arguably one of the best at doing so.

If the animatronics from those 80s kids’ pizza party places cut a record…

Spiritual experience.

Seminal! A timeless blend of shimmering guitars, hypnotic rhythms, and swaggering vocals. After all these years, its infectious melodies and psychedelic groove still feels fresh, cementing it as one of the most influential British albums ever made.

A masterpiece that trades guitars for glitchy beats, haunting synths, and atmospheric textures without losing emotional depth. Its daring experimentation and otherworldly beauty reshaped me as a young adult. I learned of my grandmother’s passing while listening to this album, and this album helped get me through that time.

Stankonia is a kaleidoscopic burst of creativity. An all-time classic and a major part of the soundtrack to my college experience. Break!

A dazzling glimpse into a mind unafraid of theatrical excess and razor-sharp songwriting. The mix of glam swagger, surreal lyricism, and Mike Garson’s wild piano runs - it all feels like a fever dream.

Minute long songs are ideal in the world of streaming, but this isn't my jam.

This is a great find, just wish I would’ve found it 27 years sooner…

The music, the lyrics, the vibe = I love it all. It’s the heart of punk. I just can’t (I know this is lame) can’t do the vibrato… Said another way, I just wish the lyrics were sang the same way as “Stealing People’s Mail” on every song.

I really enjoy this album. The music-scapes are gorgeous and the lyrics are beautiful. My only hang up here is in the production. It’s almost as if they attempted to make it low-fi by “dirtying” it up digitally. The highs are really high, the middle is muddled and the lows don’t exist. The production seems to steal from the multiple instrument layers, where it could be so much more.

Theatrical and fun listen

Interesting listen. Moody, emotional and wide open
