interesting - will listen again

If this had "What is Life" and a bunch of total filler, I'd still be tempted to give it a four, because that is one of the greatest pop songs ever. But there's other good stuff on here too, most of which I'd never heard. "Awaiting on You All," "Isn't it a Pity," "If Not For You," and "Let It Down" are some of my other favorites. (I've never liked "My Sweet Lord.") The rest does include a lot of filler but it's mostly listenable.

Accurately titled. I like some Iggy Pop, but I'm guessing this is on the early and more raw side -- I prefer my punk a little more melodic than this. Some good riffs, and pretty listenable, but nothing really grabbed me.

My problem with a lot of metal is the vocal style. Ozzy doesn't have *that* kind of vocal style, but I still find his voice best in small doses. And with some tighter songs. I think Sabbath improved a lot after this album.

I find Alanis kind of annoying, but I'd forgotten how good most of this is, and enjoyed listening to it again. You Oughta Know is a 5-star song. Also like All I Really Want and several others. The bad parts: the a cappella hidden track, one or two of the other slow ones, and everything in Ironic except the chorus.

Nice voice, and I know this is an important album. But it isn't to my taste. (Nor is most R&B and soul, as those terms have been used since the 1980s or so.)

Not what I would usually feel like listening to, but this is great stuff. So smooth. The improv on Willow caught me off guard and was hilarious. (I was ready for it the second time around, but still good.)

I don't really get why Tom Petty became a star. To me his stuff seems competent and listenable but straight down the middle, with his odd voice the only distinguishing feature. "American Girl" is a classic, but I don't think he approached it until "Free Fallin'," many years later.

The first of these that I owned on disc. Have never gotten tired of it. Many great songs, but "One Flight Down" is my favorite.

I like a lot of Bowie songs, but none of them are on this album. "Young Americans" is okay, but it's the best of the bunch.

The title track is a great song. The rest is forgettable. Not sure why it made it to this list.

If I didn’t know the backstory, this might be rated only a 4. But I can’t separate the music from the story here.

I'm always happy to listen to More Than a Feeling. Most of the rest is good-to-great. Most of the lyrics are dull or outright stupid (mainly Smokin', but also, "dancin' in the streets of Hyannis"!?), but the amazing riffs carry the day. Let Me Take You Home Tonight is a fantastic finisher. No one else sounds like Boston.

Some good passages, but the songs lose their freshness after a few minutes and sound repetitive.

The second one to come along in our queue that I've owned in physical form. It's great stuff, but I think he could have used one more uptempo song to give a break from the prevailing mood.

Rounding up from 2.5. Not my thing at all, but interesting. The first track is good.

I don’t at all like the metal growl-style vocals. Or the muted sound of the high-speed drums. The rest is decent though.

It's weird. These guys are about 85% of the way to being Squeeze, who I really like. But I didn't enjoy this at all. Hits some kind of stylistic allergy I have but will not bother trying to describe.
