Lou Reeddidn’t really get through it, not a fan

Not my genre, but very listenable and super catchy, particularly (who discovered) America which also happens to be an excellent allegorical, satirical take on the European colonization of America. Giving Santana with more of a political bent. A good start to this journey and a taste of what’s to come!
Gotta love that Freddie Mercury falsetto and theatricality!
Good punk. Not my genre but informative and edifying to listen to.
Not really my thing but maybe I’d need to listen a couple more times. Well-written though!
Some great songs but a little too classic rock radio for my ears
Edna Million in a drop dead suit, Dutch pink on the downtown train
Defined elementary school for me. Someone like you is the most 2011 song in the world. Set fire to the rain is one of the first songs I ever memorized.
My parents’ music
Didn’t expect to like it so much!!
Good vibes. Persian love and Hollywood especially good
didn’t really get through it, not a fan
My parents’ music but it happens to be super awesome. Sounds amazingly modern despite being from 1978.
So light and deft while also being socially conscious - and interesting mix
Very ahead of its time lyrically. You can tell Loretta means it. Lots of cheating so you know it’s country
Couldn’t listen to the whole thing because it’s not on streaming. They sing with too strong British accents for it to be available in America, I guess. But I liked what I heard.
My parents’ music
I like certain songs on here a lot and they’re very interesting and experimental in many cases but I just can’t get into a lot of it for some reason.
Good disco/dance. I really liked lost in music!
Experimental but not in an appealing way
My parents’ mysic…interesting and good but not for me
atmospheric and british
Contains my favorite song from high school. These guys are good at making songs
so the Red Hot Chili Peppers are actually good…noted
Good jams
Smells like goat to me
Jazz, not much more to say
A good bunch of bops from the beach boy
Life on Mars is one of the greatest songs of all time. Oh you pretty things similar. The rest is good too but doesn’t connect as much with me
Considère me satisfied. Also the clit song 👀👀
The starman’s last album. The greatness is palpable. I really like girl loves me for some reason.
This is a good album - and not just the hits, which have gotten repetitive anyway, but songs like daylight and a rush of blood to the head, which are fresh and original and remind you the hits are no flukes.
Is definitely above other noisy rocky punky albums of its kind. But ultimately not my genre exactly - might require relistens to fully appreciate
I’ll have to listen to more of it but could deserve four stars. Sounds like massive attack instrumentals
Weirdly hadn’t enjoyed this album until now. Banger after banger. Ego tripping at the gates of hell is a perfect song with a perfect title
Not bad. Vocals have a haunting, gothic quality to them that I like. But it just doesn’t really connect with me
A couple good songs but mostly not my thing
Good stuff, but not really my stuff
My parents’ music. Would be a lot more badass if I hadn’t heard it so many times
You can really hear the influence on mcr in the song lullaby. Badass
Calming, pretty, pleasant
Love their voices and cover of I heard it through the grapevine
Listened to it on my drive to New Jersey from Pittsburgh. Not bad driving music or music in general
More of a 3.5 but there a few very cool songs that put it in 4star range for me
Not really for me except the song The Paris Match. Random weird 80s rap song in the middle.
Like a Shakespeare comedy written by the human id
Some of the middle is a little too boring (read: punk meh-lodies) but the rest makes up for it, particularly Alright and the last 5 songs, of which Sofa is my personal fave. 3.5 stars rounding up to 4.
More like a 2.5 stars. Good but not really something I’d see myself listen to a lot. Except when I need to freak out, maybe
Folsky…and gospelly? Definitely not British. I like it.
Beautiful but I don’t think I was in the mood for it - I will come back one day and try it again! Obviously heart of gold is always a banger tho
More of a 3.5 - I really like a couple songs (nocturnal me and the killing moon) but the rest are mostly meh. But it gets rounded up to 4 on the strength of those highlights
Not my normal thing, but it’s good stuff - I’d need to return to it to appreciate it better, but for now this rating will do. I particularly liked whispering pines.
I loved no woman, no cry! The rest wasn’t that exciting to me
Listened to this on the way back from penn state. Real good vibes, my type of dreamy, haunting sounds. Feels ahead of its time.
One really good song (lord can you help me) and a bunch of good-to-meh songs. Not really my thang. But moody, atmospheric, and interesting. Because of the lord, 2.5 stars rounded up to 3.
Does this guy only sing in falsetto or is that his real voice? Either way he’s an incredible vocalist. The songs are vibes and I like the minimalist percussion (is that an intelligent thing to say? Me sais pas).
Good vibes. 3.5 rounded up. Love the international feel of the songs, where the language would be Spanish but the sound would be middle eastern. Also a Tom Waits vibe to certain songs.
The folksy ones! This was pleasant and bucolic. 3.5 rounded.
Have just never been a big fan of joy division. I guess they’re just not melodic enough for me. I did like a couple of these songs (24 hours and the eternal) but not enough to like the album.
Feels like a foundational country album, as well as American album. Beautifully spare with the instruments given room to shine. Blue eyes is my favorite - although I’d heard it before. Crazy that Willie is still alive and smoking weed by the bushel
Yowzah! I loved this album so much, I listened to it on repeat like seven times in one day. It is so beautiful and haunting and gorgeously written - reminds me of Elliott Smith, but this one is from 1969, which is super impressive. My favorites are River Man, Way to Blue, Thoughts of Mary Jane, and Saturday Sun. Also, like all of my favorite things, it has an excellent name. Bellisimo!
Will have to listen again but haunting and interesting.
Obviously great, but I’m personally not super into it and respect it more than love it myself.
Dusty’s got a nice voice. I loved the song Summer is Over; an excellent example of one of my favorite genres of music, last songs of albums.
If I were born in 1965 Britain like my spiritual mother who shall not be named, this would probably be my favorite band. I really like a couple of these songs like spellbound and monitor (especially), but as a whole a little too dated to go all in.
I found it! My first one star album. What an unending snooze fest. An hour of slow piano and whiny male vocals. So boring.
It’s good and well-made and complex and all that, but not really my thing. I did like the random French though. Benefit of Montreal bands.
The great Tina Turner and her incredible voice. Hell yeah.
