Two inordinately long tracks on an otherwise short album. It's an OK listen, but distinctly what I'd expect to get from a random CCR recommendation. Is "My Baby Left Me" just "That's Alright Mama"?
I didn't need 11 minutes of slide guitar. I can't think of a single song on this album that didn't go on for at least 2 minutes too long. It's a good metaphor for the rest of the album.
This is the easiest listening Who album I've come across yet.
It's a lot better than the major Bowie hits that get played.
As middle of the road as rock music comes.
It's the most intelligent pop album of the decade and still demonstrates merit in 2025, but at the same time, it's mired in early 2000 production and musical convention somewhat. It's hard to deny that Winehouse was a brilliant artist though.
Iconic? Maybe. Painfully generic in 2025? Absolutely.
This was probably an incredible gig.
So often albums fail to properly capture and evoke the spirit of the era in which they were recorded. Not the case here.
A crime that this album is best known for its incredibly cliche title track, honestly.
This sounds like the mid-90s.
The longest 34-minute album I've ever heard. Some tempo would really have changed things up.
I always knew I'd grown out of grunge when I was about 15. Hearing the so-called 'cerebral' Nirvana album, I am now totally sure of this.
Ironically, it lacked hooks.
Meh.
I want to say something about this album, but I have no idea what. It was better than my rating, but I also found it suffered from the overindulgences of 70s rock operas in general, despite being 4+ stars musically.
I sometimes struggle to rate albums based on an objective scale of how good they are vs. how much I like them. I don't particularly care for this album, but I also can't deny the craftsmanship.
Better than I thought it was going to be.
Fine.
This could have been 8 tracks shorter.
This is the worst album I have come across on this list so far, and some of them have been a slog.
Too long and almost nothing stood out.
Look, this isn't meant to be an easy listen, and I think the fact it's borderline unlistenable prevents it from being rated any higher, but as a statement of art, rather than a piece of music, it's undeniably effective.
No.
I was set to give this a 5 when I first put it on, but it's hard to get past how slow the back half of the album is. A 4 is probably fair.
Double albums often suffer from the curse of being overlong with not enough to fill them, and this is no exception. Apart from the two most famous tracks ('Sir Duke' and 'Isn't She Lovely'), a lot of this album felt like overindulgence that wasn't backed up by solid execution. I thought about bumping this up to a 3, but I just don't think that 2 songs in 105 minutes of music justifies a higher rating.
Fucking way too long and way too weird.
This started really promisingly, and then it went German.
Holy fuck this is awful.
Only 2% of albums received 5 stars. Average rating: 3.05.
Album origins are grouped into three buckets: US, UK, and everything else. “Other” means the artists you rate highest are from outside the US and UK.
