Depeche Mode has a very distinct sound and this album is full of it. But no songs really stood out to me. It was more suited to ambient background music than anything else. Not hard to listen to, but I didn’t find it interesting either.

Great album full of familiar songs. Easy to listen to over and over again without getting sick of it.

Good album with some standout songs, but not necessarily one I’d listen to over and over. Had “Jet” stuck in my head most of the day. Was also a fan of Picasso’s last words as it was basically 4 versions of the same song in different styles on 1 track.

So much saxophone. 80s R&B has never really been my thing. There’s nothing bad on this album, but there’s also nothing I loved. Without Sade’s smooth voice, it’s just synthy elevator music. Her voice is very soothing, though, so it was kind of relaxing. But definitely not something I will ever listen to again.

I loved this one. The harmonies made me happy!

Fun Beach Boy-esque harmonies and a tinge of 60s psychedelics. There was a point in my life where I would have listened to this over and over again. A Rose for Emily is a brutal song, but I really did enjoy the album.

I can appreciate Jack White, but I’m not a White Stripes fan. The songs on this album with little to no drums were great and enjoyable. But Meg White sure loves her cymbals. Any song with drums just turned into noise for me and lost all musicality.

One of my all-time favorite albums. It’s been on my “desert island list” since I got it as part of my introductory package to BMG. While I hated the drumming on the White Stripes album, Tre Cools drumming is possibly my favorite part of dookie. The rhythms are unique and interesting and well-integrated into each song. I could (and did) listen to this album on repeat. It’s comforting when something you discovered and fell in love with at 14 years old still brings the same joy over 30 years later. Dookie is just a fun album full of memorable songs.

I own this album, but now I know why I never listened to it much. The sound that was so unique when the Strokes came out gets monotonous over an entire album. The only standout songs are the ones that were singles: Last Night and Someday. This album is a snap shot in time of when people thought rock and roll was over and the Strokes came out with a new unique rock sound. But years later it doesn’t hold up to the hype.

I was surprised by this album first by its release date (I would have sworn it was from the 60s), and then by how much I liked it. I’ll definitely listen again.

Not my thing. Grating and made me anxious.

Fine for background music, but not great for close listening. Songs could all benefit from being about 2 minutes shorter.

Fine. Nothing bad but nothing super impressive, either. I still like The Breeders better.

I listened to the deluxe version of the album, which I think is the entire concert and is about 3 times longer than the original version. It was fine, solid Who until they got to the Tommy section. Then they just opened up and were amazing. Knocking off a star just because I don’t think the original album included the parts I found amazing here!

Great album. I can hear influences on Carbon Leaf, Oasis, and The Verve.

I did not listen to the whole album, but liked what I heard. Sounded like an album from the 60s in a different language,

Oh yea, another experimental psychedelic album from the 60s. The songs the woman sang on were mostly good. Some were even great. But the album as a whole is not something I’ll ever listen to again.

A classic. Only a few songs on this album weren’t huge hits. Fun to revisit an album I listened to constantly as a kid.

Great, fun album. Got a little monotonous toward the end, otherwise it would have gotten 4 stars.

I get why The White Stripes were such a big deal when this album came out. The album is eclectic, yet ties together. It’s hard rocking but also tinged with honky tonk. A fun interesting listen that’s still pretty unique over 20 years later. Not sure it will ever make it into heavy rotation for me, though.

If I had discovered this album when it came out, I probably would have been totally into it. It’s such a reflection of music at the time. It made me nostalgic. The beats are great and had me bopping, but I can’t say it’s something I’ll listen to much again.

Great debut album. Interesting to hear The Who before they figured out they wanted to be more than just another Rolling Stones or Beatles.

Solid 70s rock album.

Not my thing. Might have been a tolerable song here and there, but mostly just noise.

Not a bad listen. Nothing wowed me, though.

This is a great album for dancing in a club. But for general listening, it gets too repetitive for me.

Great early alternative album

Brought me back memories of bright colors and watching Real World marathons while doing homework. Loved it!

Hard to believe that REM’s first album came out n 1983. Their music was definitely 10 years ahead of its time. Great album.

It’s fine. Just boring. Not really my thing. I didn’t finish the album.
