This album came out 60 years ago this week! Shocking. It's extremely good though.

I think I was in a bad mood when I started listening to this, it maybe just not on the right mood? Or maybe this list has thrown one too many classic rock/metal albums in quick succession and I'm a bit bored of the genre. I might come back at another time to go over this again, but for now it's a non starter for me.

I couldn't listen to much of this as I had kids around be all day, but I loved what I heard. It's interesting to hear music from someone who is actively in fear for his own life, being hunted. It's making me re-evaluate some rap/rappers not just as Tough Guy personas but instead expressing legitimate fears.

Surprisingly, this album has quite a few bangers in it. I though Le Freak would be a one hit wonder, but there was a lot of style in this album.

Pretty funky! Really nice guitar. Not really my taste though

The hits were great, but I was really bored by a lot of the songs

Really enjoyed this. Recognised a few but even the new to me ones were a pleasure

Really didn't enjoy this one. I can hear how he may have influenced a bunch of bunch of bands I've liked in the past, but I couldn't get into this one.

Holy shit I really hate this. Like I don't know if it's wholly the circumstance ( bad family party, half an existential crisis) but my god I'm not having a good time with this. I'm having a pretty bad time, in fact. Some of the best parts are when Bowie isn't singing.

Different to what I usually think of when I think of U2. Sunday bloody Sunday was instantly recognisable, but the rest was new to me. Overall it was pretty decent.

There's a lot of noise, but it was good noise. It actually felt surprisingly modern.

I'm actually really enjoying this. It's not my taste in music at all, but it's really nice to listen to. Reminds me of when I would listen to the Joseph Hann tracks from Linkin Park.

This isn't my kind of music, but sometimes I wonder if these albums are an example of 'Seinfeld isn't funny', where I've heard all the influenced and therefore am but as impressed. Some great guitar licks though.

I didn't quite expect this. Who was I thinking of? The Kooks maybe? Either way this makes me think of Edgar Wright films. Is this what rock and roll was like in the 60s? Who was that band that I listened to in the 00s that had a sound like this? I liked them well enough but they gave me a headache after a while.

The first track is an absolute banger. Really hooked me in. The following tracks so far are a bit bland. Very sad moments in Buffy

I've listened to this before in my teens, so a lot of my listen so far is revisiting those memories. I think I had this on my first ever MP3 player.

I enjoyed it, but felt like I had listened to it all before. And it all sounded very samey

It's all very soft and quiet. Not unpleasant, not I'm not really enjoying it

Really didn't like this.

Great. I listened to this way back in the day and it was great to revisit. I loved the loops, the bitter sweetness and the nostalgia.

Pretty good. The hits are big, and the unknowns are still good. I got into Heathen Chemistry and never listened to this one, but it was good to go back to oasis.

Not terrible music but definitely not my taste

There's a lot I can say about this album and what it's influenced, and how distinctly American it is, how it couldn't be anything but American. But in the end I can just say it's not for me.

Maybe I just don't like music

Yeah it was ok

This sounds like what I would listen to when I was a poser and acting like I was more interesting than I was. Now that I've listened more there's a definite charm to it. Very upbeat and melodic. Not something I would listen to on a car ride but pretty good actually.

I actually really liked this. Didn't know what I expected. It was nice listening. I really enjoyed it.

Ah I already know I'm going to like this one. This takes me back to being 20 and smoking endlessly in my attic flat. There are some absolute bangers on this album, even outside the singles. This album makes me think of endless summers and endless nights

If I don't give this fiver stars the my father in law will kill me. Jokes aside, not every song was my taste, but there are GOATs on here

It was decent music but almost all of it faded into the background for me. I liked how it was quite jumpy and fun.

Absolutely loved this. Really really enjoyed every song

Right, it's ok. It's very middling and twee, and if its time. I can't say I'm enjoying it but I don't hate it.

I'm liking this more as it's still angry but not aggressive about it.

This album came out 60 years ago this week! Shocking. It's extremely good though.

Eh

Liked it more than I thought I would

I was in such a bad mood when starting this and it completely lifted me out of it

I think this would've been my jam in my twenties. A bit too all over the place for me now.

I enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I would. From the first song I was immediately dancing. Some of the singing was great. Too heavy for me generally but a really good album.

This is a banger. I listened to this a lot back when I was a teen, and it's the only Radiohead album I've listened to. Revisiting it today was very good, as it was a dark, rainy evening and I sat in the car and listened to this. Mwah, perfect, chef's kiss.

This is a treat. Super easy to listen to, super catchy, super fun.

I was around kids so day so couldn't give this a proper listen since it was all rated explicit. What I did listen to wasn't my taste at all. I have a hard time listening to punk since it's so abrasive, which is the point I suppose.

Do you know, it's pretty good. The music is s lot about a life and culture that's foreign in location and time for me, but the music is interesting to listen to.

Jazz isn't typically my thing, but this was great background music to a quiet morning. I think I like jazz more when I'm not actively listening to it, and instead letting it deep into the background of whatever I'm doing, letting it dictate the tempo.

I did not expect to be aroused at work. I only know Marvin Gaye from "Let's get it on", and I was pleasantly surprised when the rest of this album was just as seductive/horny. It was a really pleasant listen.

Really enjoyed this. A a non-metal guy I was surprised at how much I knew and enjoyed. Some absolute bangers on this.

This was great. I kept wanting to add tracks to my playlist but they were like 20 minutes long. Super engaging and listenable. I think I'll be sticking this on another day to listen to.

I am bored out of my mind.

It was ok! Some good guitar licks but otherwise faded into the background for me.

This was instantly familiar and I couldn't place why until I realised it was a Cuban band, and I suddenly realised it was very similar to the Tropico 4 soundtrack, which is a game I played for about 40 hours 10 years ago. That seems like a shitty thing to leave on a review, but it's just that this album evoked such a blast of nostalgia that it became difficult to actually listen to it on its own terms. At the very least, I enjoyed myself.

Yeah it was ok! Listened to it in the car on the way to touristy stuff. Didn't pay much attention to it but enjoyed what I heard.

Nah I'm not listening to this

This is weird as heck

I only ever listened to 'Today' and I'm glad the rest of the album lives up to it. Really satisfying hooks, some filthy guitar licks, that 90s aesthetic. Mwah! Brilliant album.

This was pretty good!

My Spotify premium finished today, so it was difficult to listen to the whole album in one go... But even then I wasn't too impressed.

I don't really like Snoop as a person, and I think a lot of this album isn't for me... But there's no doubt it made me bop and bounce along with it.

Surprisingly, this album has quite a few bangers in it. I though Le Freak would be a one hit wonder, but there was a lot of style in this album.

Very very very very very much not for me.

I liked it for the most part. It gets bumped up s a whole star as my wife sung me every song since she listened to it when she was younger.

I'm surprised that I haven't listened to The Smiths more given how much I love The Twilight Sad. Yeah it's pretty good.

I'm all for trying something different, but this was really boring for me.

There's something strangely nostalgic about this album. I keep finding myself reminded of Echo & The Bunnymen for a few months before it pivots. I'm liking this more and more the more I listen.

This is insane. I love indie music. I'm fucking Scottish. How have I never listened to Belle and Sebastian!? This absolutely slaps.

It was nice listening to this. Comfortable.

I feel like I should be inclined towards this music, but in practice I couldn't really get into it. It was nice background noise though.

I think this highlights a problem with listening to a new album every day - if I had more time to get into this, to really feel it and get in the mood, then I think I would really enjoy delving in and analysing it. But, just listening to it for today, it's kinda boring.

Not for me I guess

Whoa I'm really not enjoying this. Maybe I'm in a weird mood today, or under the weather, but this is really getting behind my eyes. Maybe I need to go back into it, because I can hear where a ton of bands have gotten inspiration from this music, but it's hard to listen to right now.

I'm really liking the dirty guitars, and generally dirty sounding music. Reminds me of metric. Plus, Maps is incredible

So this is an album that's a different culture and a different time for me. I been appreciate a lot about it, and knowing it's context in history is fascinating, but ultimately the music isn't for me.

Eh. It was alright.

Yeah it was good but utterly unmemorable

This is a night driving album. I listened to it through the day and liked it, but in the evening I needed to take a short drive and it was superb. The music fits empty roads and streetlights passing overhead.

This was great. I heard so many of my favourite bands in this album. Strange how I can go my whole life not knowing about something I would enjoy this much.

Really didn't like it at first, but it grew on me. Some of the choices were disruptive and annoying to listen to, but I can't say I haven't enjoyed myself.

There's a lot that I like, and there's a lot that I don't.

I really didn't vibe with this when I first such it on, but a few songs in I was really enjoying it. I preferred the dirtier, fuzzier songs to the harder ones. Great album.

This bass is really speaking to me

Yeah it was ok. I feel like I have personal biases against Metallica. I didn't dislike the songs but didn't like them either.

I couldn't listen to much of this as it was hard to get on streaming, but what I listened to was good. Very funky.
