"Not wrong, just... Wrong for me".
When I've first listened to the album somewhere in the early 00s, it blew my mind. It starts with Sunday Morning and my first thought when I've heard it was "you're telling me this is the music people were making during the Beatles era"? I felt it sounded like a modern song, not one from almost 40 years ago.
And it's not just Sunday Morning, there's All Tomorrow's Parties, I'll Be Your Mirror, Heroin - I could list the entire album that way.
One of my favorite albums of all time.
There's enough great material for a single album. For a double album I'd say not everything works - but I'm not really a great fan of Led Zeppelin.
But I have to admit, the second I saw the album cover that's been chosen for that they, I immediately heard the riff for Custard Pie in my head.
I've had lots of fun listening to this album and I even came back to re-listen some of the songs during the day. But the thing is, there's just a lot more interesting music from this time period that I already know of.
Still, it's good and I'll definitely introduce it to my kids.
Again, not a bad album. There are some good songs there. But overall, it's just not for me.
Listening to the album I had one thought in my mind - is this just one long song or are the songs so similar to each other that they're indistinguishable? Turned out it's the latter.
Excellent, absolutely unhinged.
When I've realized this is a reggae album I was like "oh no...". But then it turned out the album is pretty fun. I'm probably an ignorant when it comes to reggeae, because when I've heard it I thought "ok, this is not something I would call reggae". It reminded me of bits from Kult's second album "Posłuchaj, to do Ciebie".
If you like you're music interesting, this is the album to go.
Sounds great, the energy is fantastic, liked it a lot.
This is something I should have liked, but I found it really boring.
Didn't like it, found it boring and monotonous.
Short, sweet, but not for me.
It's grand, it's lush, it's beautiful.
It was pretty good, but it's just not my thing.
The guy rips his heart out on the album, and just sits there bleeding, sending banger after banger. It's deeply personal and it ain't pretty, just as art should be.
Her voice is like silk or velvet. Perfect soundtrack for those long, autumn evenings.
Sounds like a typical mid 90s pop album. Not bad, but nothing very interesting.
21 songs in 35 minutes - no time for fillers. Excellent album.
I've always thought Ray Charles music was way more powerful, but it's kind of meh for me. Seems outdated even for its time.
There's energy and some good songs, but ultimately I don't think I'll be revisiting this album very often.
Sound like a concept album, but boring.
The most inoffensive album you'll ever hear in your life. A great soundtrack to riding the elevator. Music for people who hate music.
I think I might have not liked it.
Not great, but pretty different.
Judging by the cover I expected a post punk album, but I was surprised. Not bad, but didn't really catch my attention very well.
Just a hit after hit after hit. I like this album very, very much. It's one star short because it's not one of THE albums for me.
Sounds very uninspired. Didn't like it.
Very earnest, which is probably not that unusual for a country album. There are a few good songs here and there, with Honky Tonk Heroes being an absolute banger.
It's not really that much about the music. It's about the vibes. And the vibes are immaculate.
Very easy listen. Better than expected, considering that this is not my favourite genre.
I had no idea who k.d. lang was. Then when I turned the album on, the most beatiful woman's voice you can imagine hit me. Quite a few excellent songs there, could easily be Bond movie theme songs.
I really enjoyed listening to this album.
Unfortunately I don't take drugs (I even drink my Coke decaf), so couldn't appreciate this album the way it deserves to be appreciated.
Couldn't tell if this was ironically fascist or not.
Absolutely nothing interesting about this one.
Just the right amount of angst.
Seems cozy and familiar, but pretty forgettable.
More interesting than entertaining. I might give it another chance some day.
Not bad, but there are better new rock revolution albums out there.
It's hard to talk about Morrissey's music without considering how much of a douchebag Morrissey is.
But yeah, this is Morrissey in his prime and boy did he know how to write those songs, even if it's not his best material.
Not my favourite material by the Smiths, but still good.
I saw the title and the cover and really wanted to hate this album. Instead I found out it's fun. And let me say this - those aren't players, those are NERDS.
Yeah, it's as good as you've heard.
Come on, this is Low by David Bowie.
Incredibly fun, uncompromising & great songwriting. It still sounds fresh in 2025.
This was a weird one. First of all, I don't know why, but initially I thought this was an album by PANDA Bear. And I was like "alright, let's go!", and then "this doesn't sound like Panda Bear at all".
So, I was disappointed and thought it's kinda boring. But then I decided to give it another try in a more favorable environment.
And it turned out I like it! It's an acquired taste, but there some really nice music in there.
Probably my first unexpected five out of five stars. This truly is the sound of the 90s when it comes to electronic dance music.
I felt like I should give this album AT LEAST 2 stars, because I like The Who. But this album did absolutely nothing for me.
I feel like one day with this album is not enough to really appreciate it. I will probably get back to it at some point.
One of THE albums for me. Perfect in every way. One of the few albums I rate six out of five.
It sounds exactly as you'd expect - Talking Heads-ish sound, but without David Byrne. And don't get me wrong, I like the guy, but it's a nice change.
Very fun, some very good songs. Enjoyed the experience.
It starts incredibly strongly, but then it, well, fizzles out by the end. This is one of the albums I definitely need to listen to later, because I feel that one day was not enough to appreciate it.
It's a little bit like Led Zeppelin, if only you'd take out like 50% of the blues out of the songs and instead replaced it with a little bit more of a pop sound.
So yeah, a little bit like Led Zeppelin, but BETTER than Led Zeppelin.
I didn't love it and again, I don't take drugs so can't appreciate it in full, but it was actually pretty good.
This album is something else. If not for the fact that it's something that's absolutely not for me, that would be a straight up 5/5.
But yeah, you should definitely listen to this album, even if hip-hop is not your thing.
Absolutely unhinged. There's so much going on it's even hard to describe, this is pure emotion translated to music.
Sounds very dated, even for its time. I didn't hate it, but didn't particularly love it as well.
I'll definitely go back to this one. Catchy tunes, good energy, I liked it very much.
It's a mediocre Radiohead album.
That first song is pretty good, but the rest of the album has been a slog for me.
You can say I have basic taste, but this album is fun.
If you've never been a horny 17 year old boy you'll probably not gonna understand this album. There's banger after after banger, it's absolutely relatable and that last song I've been playing pretty much every time I was getting back home from a party when I was a teenage boy.
I don't like Radiohead very much but this an almost perfect mix of experimental and accessible. It's out there with The Bends for me.
It's not that I hate Janis Joplin - I like some of her most famous songs. But this album? I felt nothing.
One of the greates debuts of all time and a truly timeless album. And I literally mean timeless - it doesn't sound like 80s or 90s music (although it has been a blueprint for britpop), it's its own thing.
It's a hair from being a 5/5 for me. But it's so, so good.
It's either this or Trans-Europe Express that's my favourite Kraftwerk album.
I feel like this one might grow on me. Will definitely check it out again later.
Jump is fun, Hot for Teacher is horny, but ultimately the entire album was just meh for me.
I feel like I should have liked it more, but it was just fine for me. I like my prog rock less noisy.
Not the worst thing I've ever heard, but I was absolutely not interested in this album.
That's a lot of shouting!
It's definitely a Beatles album.
I found it intriguing and Half-past France was really, really good. Will definitely have to give this one a listen again.
Yup, that's Frank Sinatra alright.
Well, turns out I don't like grunge very much. This one felt like a chore.
Definitely need to relisten when I'm not so terribly busy.
Yup, that's Elvis alright.
It's less than 24 hours after I listened to it and can't remember almost anything except that I think it was alright.
They definitely should have coco'd harder.
More Coco than the last one.
It's not some kind of a masterpiece, but it's definitely a fun album.
A lot of the albums from late 70s sound very dated, but this one is fun.
A fantastic Christmas album. Forget Spotify's Christmas playlist, just put this banger on.
Unbelievably modern. It doesn't sound like the 70s, this is instead more like 90s music. Way ahead of it's time.
Even if not groundbreaking, could be most artists' best album. But as this is David Bowie, then it's four stars only.
Sounds like a pretty generic new wave album - but I like new wave.
I didn't hate it, but it was kinda meh.
Not what I'm looking for when I'm listening to music, but it's not bad.
Another album where the listening felt like a chore. Dull & cynical. Absolutely hated it.
I don't know why, but I thought that Simply Red sounds totally differently. But this was actually very entertaining. I liked it!
It's everything you'd expect from a Paul Simon album. Unfortunately, nothing really hooked me, hence two stars.
This is the album that makes you realize why Bob Dylan is such a respected artist. It's a great listen.
It feels like a very very good album, but I just don't vibe with this kind of music.
I will definitely need to revisit this someday.
This is definitely a mood. It's not an easy listen, the songs on Loveless are way catchier. But it still feels like a logical continuation of MBV sound in the 90s.
Is this one a crowd-pleaser or what. It's basically an equivalent of a successful four quadrant movie. I enjoyed it very much.
When I was to start playing this album I've noticed More Than a Feeling was the opener and I was like "oh no". Don't get me wrong, this is a great song, but I've heard is so many times I was just tired of it.
Turns out it might be the worst song on the entire album? The rest sound pretty fun & fresh and not only listening this album wasn't a chore, but I had fun with it.
Very cool! Definitely need to revisit.
I immediately gave this a second listen and then put Love Galore on repeat.
I enjoyed this a lot.
Not what I expected, but again, was pleasantly surprised. A lot softer than I thought.
Exactly what you'd expect based on the album cover, but also good.
I don't like The Rolling Stones, but this is pretty good for a Rolling Stones album.
There's something interesting out there somewhere, but can't put my finger on it.
I was thinking about this album recently and thought to myself that yeah, it's pretty good, but it's still one of the weaker ones. But then I relistened to it in its entirety for the challenge and wow, there's banger after banger.
Listening to Guero was a chore, this one was actually good.
Unfortunately it did nothing for me.
Now I understand why some people enjoy Metallica.
Not as good as I was expecting it to be.
I absolutely didn't know what to expect and this turned out to be one of the most interesting albums I've listened to in a long while.
I have to give it to the album that it sounds waaay ahead of its time. But unfortunately it's not really my thing.
Way better than I expected! I liked it and will definitely revisit it.
This is probably a 4 star album. Sounds a little bit like The Stone Roses, but at the same time it's its own thing. Definitely need to revisit later.
Another album that might be a 4 on a further listen. Something to revisit later.
I don't like blues rock, but this album wasn't that bad. Found one song that I really enjoyed, the rest was just a little bit boring.
I really, really liked this album in my teens. Then, in time, I started considering it a bit cringe, so I was pretty biased when I started listening to it again. But once you move past Vedder's singing mannerism, it's actually pretty enjoyable.
Amazing album. In current dark days if you're looking for something optimistic, hopeful, even blissful or idealistic THIS is the right album.
I enjoyed it. Another one to revisit later.
I don't know if people realize how important these kind of albums is. I don't know if this has been influenced by Brian Eno, or if it influenced Brian Eno, or if it's just a circle of life of constant inspiration.
I liked Highway 61 Revisited more, but this one is also pretty good.
It's really trying so hard to be artsy that it forgot it also should be entertaining.
I mean I didn't hate it. Sounds Supergrassy at times. It's ok but don't think I'll ever revisit this album.
It had its moments, but overall, it didn't feel very inspired.
That's the kind of energy I want to hear in live performances. You can clearly hear they are having so much fun.
I thought I'd hate it, but I didn't. At the same time, it's serious, but also lightweight and fun.
To be honest I expected more. I mean, I like Bohemian Rhapsody as much as the next person, but the rest was so forgettable.
Way more fun than I expected! It's got great energy and it's absolutely hypnotising (which the haters would call "being repetetive").
A great piece of music history and a definite recommendation.
I'm definitely a Kind of Blue kind of person. This one is a mood and in the last few busy days I didn't have the space to fully appreciate this album. It's rough around the edges, it's noisy, it's uncomfortable (as all art should be). Will give this one a relisten in a few years, but right now this is two stars for me.
Is Octopus's Garden the best Beatles song ever created? Probably not, because that bridge is not that great. But you can't not like an album with Octopus's Garden on it.
Nothing groundbreaking, avant garde or experimental, just very sincere.
It started very strongly with that first track, but quickly fell apart for me.
People give Coldplay a lot of flak, but if you were 14-15yo when this album came out and you wanted to have a nice, sad, melancholic summer, this was perfect.
Coincidentally, I was 14-15 yo when this album came out.
Every one of us goes through that music discovery period, when you have enough time & energy to keep up with current musical releases. For me this was the last great album of that era. Minimalistic, vibes only and 17 years later (wow, where has the time gone) it still sounds fresh to me.
It was good as a background music, but I literally cannot remember any song a day later even though I listened to this album 3 times,
What a delightful, sincere little album. My hot take is that this album is better than Abbey Road. Hear me out: on Abbey Road the Beatles had their heads way too far up their british arses and you can definitely hear that in their music.
But here? They are still working as a team. And they are full of rock and roll energy.
It sounded out of place for a 70s album (in a good way!).
Also sounds out of place for an 80s, 90s or 00s album (in a good way!)
I don't like grunge, but this is more hardcore punk than grunge. What immensely helped was the fact that it was so short.
It was pretty good.
I hate the term "world music" as much as the next guy. But I just usually don't know how to enjoy it. This album wasn't bad, it was a nice little something playing in the background. But when I listen to music, I expect more.
Even though I'm more of a Thriller guy, this album is absolutely amazing.
My first thought on hearing the opening number was "wow, I like this A LOT". But then it turns out this album is a lot of things and not all of them are to my liking.
Very intimate & personal.
Funky & experimental. Didn't like this album when I was in my 20s. I appreciate it way more now, although it's still not my favourite Talking Heads album (that would be Stop Making Sense).
This one is definitely a mood and I can feel it growing on me. Three stars for now, but once I find time to properly relisten I might upgrade the rating on this one.
That's a one angry guy. I mean this album seems very personal and it's probably just not for me.
I've listened to this album three times because I thought "come on, this is just fine, there's surely a song that's going to grab my attention", but after one day I remember absolutely nothing.
Nice background music - that's all it is.
A sweet & old-fashioned little jazz record.
Red Rain is an absolutely fantastic opener. It's emotional, it's larger than life, it's absolutely fantastic. Don't Give Up is another highlight. The rest of the songs are not as great, but I still very much appreciate that 80s production. Will definitely revisit this album.
