Massive AttackI love how chill this album is. Makes me want to sit outside at night and sip a cocktail. Low Fi beats

I like Yes and there are a few great tracks on this album but it's a little uneven?
This is a lot. I'd probably need a many more listens to digest all of this but I'm probably not going to do that.
This album is big and dramatic and Queen effin rules
Not a huge metal guy but this album rips. Put them in the Iron Maiden. Excellent!
A classic. Technical but kinda raw. Metal but still melodic in a way.
Karen O could sing the phone books and it would sound amazing. The Yeah Yeah Yeahs rule. 3.5 stars
Had no idea Bowie was involved with this one. Can't hear Lust For Life without thinking of Trainspotting.
Save the drama for your mama! I'm sure this is fine, but it isn't for me.
I like Brian Wilson and I like the Beach Boys but there's something about this album that a slog to listen to. What's probably a 1 is a 2 for me because its Brian Wilson.
Just a gorgeous album. Marvin Gaye pointing out and sometimes solving the world's problems in the most beautiful soulful way.
It's Dre. It's Snoop. It changed rap. Its a five.
Not everything on this album is great but what is, is. Charlie's Angels song, check. BeeGees cover, check. I was ready for this jelly.
Ripped and sinewy...just like Iggy Pop
Really good but such a debbie downer of an album
I've never heard of this band. I saw another review of this album that said "The first note of the first song had me intrigued but it quickly got really bad after that." And I thought, did I write that? Some interesting things going on, but overall a tough listen.
Why does John Cale sound like Ringo on some of these tracks?
I enjoy 80s new wave but this just isn't for me.
I remember when this album debuted, mostly thanks to Slow Jamz and Through the Wire. It sounded so unique compared to other hip-hop albums and still does. Kayne before Kayne Kayne'd. 3.5 stars
Oh, by the way, which one's Pink? 10 stars
I'd never heard of The Coral. This album is chaotic and not in a great way. Did they steal the guitar riff on "Goodbye" from Disney's It's A Small World? The early aughts were a wild time.
Another band I've never heard of. I really enjoyed this one! Not sure if it was just the production, but the band sounded really tight... and I'm a sucker for a rock n roll sax.
Even in the time of '69's peace, love, and harmony, I feel like these folks would have booed off the Woodstock stage.
I'm a sucker for 80s new wave and this album has 3 classic tracks.
The Police are cool and this album is cool. Message in a bottle right out of the gate. Stewart Copeland just smashing the drums from start to finish.
Not my fave White Stripes album but still very good!
I know he's Neil Young and he's the godfather of grunge and everything, but it's just not my thing.
Lenny Kravitz will always be cool. Didn't realize he produced and played all of the instruments on this album. Not bad for a debut!
I know this is regarded as one of the greatest punk rock albums of all time. This was the first time I've ever listened all the way through and was a little underwhelmed.
Pretty solid album. All Through the Night is a banger. I prefer Prince's version of Prince's When You Were Mine.
Is this album about Marvin Gaye's divorce? I get the sense that it's about Marvin Gaye's divorce but there's really no way to be sure. I'm not against records about divorce (see Beck's Sea Change) but this is 75 minutes very specifically about Marvin Gaye's divorce (from Anna, it seems). That said, the fact that its Marvin Gaye and still has some pretty funky and soulful moments gets it 3 stars. This "review" was almost as long as that album!
I think Get Together is the only Young Bloods tune I'm familiar with and this album sounds nothing like that song. I really kinda liked this album. Some Alt country on the first track? Then funky folk music? And then the jam lounge jazz vibes with the last track? It was all over the place style-wise but it all seemed to work cohesively.
