Classic album jam packed with ideas and sounds. Just not my favorite type of music... yet, haha.

Arguably the best Album 1 Song 1 debut ever by a band... "Welcome to the Jungle" right out of the box is unreal. They established a signature sound from their first notes. Had about 4 or 5 bangers with several generational songs. Amazing album.

Classic album am one of the most ambitious undertakings to bust out a rock opera instead of "just" a concept album. Love several songs and has some bangers. Packed with ideas and originality. Great album but more of an every 5-10 years listen for me.

Very forward thinking album and sound. Couple of bangers but liked the whole album feel. She was only 19 in 96 so very very impressive for her age. Got Radiohead vibes from something released in 96 & that doesn't happen much. I think "Tidal" directly influenced Billie's "When we all fall asleep where do Go" & Rihanna's ANTI.

Great bass lines. I'd listened to the big songs but not the whole album. It's a classic and has some bangers and productive fillers.

Great album with a banger and a whole lot that should have been more popular. One of the best rip it rock n roll albums of the 21st century.

It's outdated of course but loved it. Hip hop was a blank canvas so rhyming "girl" with "world" or "here" with "there" was still fresh and possible. There are way better hip hop albums imo but this had a few things going... new tech using beat machines like the Roland 808 similar to Kraftwerk & Gary Numan etc. A genre defining sound & one of the first classic hip hop albums.. This is one of the most sampled albums of all time I'm guessing too.

Interesting and unique album. Different from what I was expecting & seemed like a great live performer. Gave me Bowie & Elvis Costello vibes. Must be much better live than on album. Not really memorable songs but would be fun to sing if you learned them.

Some great songs and wonderful sounding album. Misses some of their biggest songs but has some classics. On the good songs I love Michael Stipe's voice. Peter Buck on guitar and Mike Mills on bass are amazing.

Much more interesting than expected but still wonder if this is a rediscovered flash or truly brilliant album. The double weims on the cover's enough to give it 10 stars!

Good album that's fun to listen to. Several bangers, moderate generational. Unique talent and sound. Very enjoyable.

Really interesting listen. One of the few things that sounds like Radiohead before Radiohead (Bjork & NIN are others). Had a couple famous songs and very cool trip-hop vibes.

Very good but think I've heard recent stuff like this so didn't hit as hard as the Fela Kuti album did. I'm glad to deposit his name & sound to my memory bank.

Lotta ideas and good sounds. Kinda Strokes & Iggy Pop vibes for late 70's and Australia. Had fun listening to it and bet it'd get really good with a few more listens. Not on par with the greats of all time... yet.

I'd always seen the name but never heard the music. Trent Reznor sounding vocals with a Wilco meets Bush sound. Very underground 90's. Wasn't quite my favorite but am happy I listened.

Interesting listen and glad I've heard of these guys now.

One of the best ever. Generational bangers and talents.

Classic songs, all time bangers, one of the best voices of all time at the top of his game. Great album, but 36 min live show has me wanting more. Would have loved to have been at one of his shows! I've seen Leslie Odom live and think that's the closest thing I can get... I love Leslie but he's no Sam Cooke!!! Sam has so much swagger and such a silky smooth voice.

Interesting listen because I'd always listened to either Loaded or Velvet Underground with Nico (the banana Warhol album). This one was a lot more down tempo and didn't have the bangers. Glad I listened but not my favorite of theirs... yet.

Another one I've seen a lot and probably dabbled in, but didn't really know too well. Very cool album. One that I'm sure I would have been more into if I'd either had access to more indie music or a friend that turned me on to them. These were the days before Spotify so radio, physical media or word of mouth was it. I enjoyed it and think I'd like it more and more as I learned it.

Right off the bat establishes Talking Heads style. Jam packed with ideas... they're a band that had something to say, mostly about nothing, but they said it haha. Psycho Killer banger. I'm glad I got to see David Byrne 2nd row at Shaky Knees one year!
