Didn't grab me at first, after a couple of songs felt more intrigued. Typical 90's sound and agreeably very Gilmore Girls-ish.

One of the most compelling albums of the list, Radiohead are always a joy listening to.

Was initally really excited for a The Cure record, but kind of letdown due to the repetitiveness. Guess Disintegration would rather be my cup of tea.

Not into Ska, but this was fun at times and not as bad as I expected. 2,5-ish I guess. Some lyrics especially in the second half uncomfortably misogynist.

Was really surprised, what a beautiful at times haunting record. Me and a Gun hits like a truck - can't find words. Enjoyable album, which reveals more layers with each listen. Strong 4.

Was already sighing, when I saw this record being generated today. I own this record, bought it back in 2005 I suppose, being a teenager exploring rock and metal - yeah great record back then. Nowadays I perceive Axl Rose as a rather uncomfortable person, especially back in the Appetite days - not just his personality but his singing style and lyrics just don't do it for me. Yeah there are some timeless songs on this album, most of which have been overplayed to death, nonetheless I could live on perfectly without ever having to hear a GnR song again. An album I've completely outgrown.

Enjoyed my first listen very much - the album offers quite a few layers. Multiple listens are probably advised. Fun record. I will take my time and give it more repeats.

Would I sit down and actively listen to this record ever again? Probably not. Would I mind, if someone put this record on. Most definitely not. I mean, Born in the U.S.A. is quite the collection of popular songs, but it all seems quite vanilla to me - or maye more akin to the Chernobyl TV Series "not great, not terrible".

This album makes me wonder if the list really needed to be over 1000 albums long. 1,5

The first album I quit after a couple of songs. Hos did this album even get here??

Yeah some of the more interlude tracks aren't top-notch. But I enjoyed the album and it's journey as a whole.

Not for me - maybe I'm too young or non-american.
