I’d download this off of Napster given the chance.

If Boston by Boston had a UPS tracking number, it would show as DELIVERED. While the album is front heavy, even its lower tier songs on the backend were still strong.

Sebadoh inherits the post 80’s punk raw sound and energy into an ultimately polished, but directionless, album with no signature sound. Its greatest contribution is that it provides a kaleidoscopic lens into the experimental directions that rock would take in the decades to follow. Personal highlights tracks include: Soul and Fire, Emma Get Wild, and Flood.

This was a decent album but nothing spectacular. It’s The Clash being The Clash, which was the best part of the album, otherwise it didn’t impress.

I felt this album took me to a beautiful synth landscape. And although beautiful and mysterious, it wasn’t exactly an exciting place. Stand out track was Hollywood.

PJ Harvey’s songs on Rid of Me are a microcosm of the album itself. Each song tends to build before erupting into a fiery maelstrom, only to return back to its droning build around its acoustic caldera. The album, similarly, takes a turn half way through, only to return to its earlier roots. While I appreciated the Bob Dylan cover, this 90’s album will not be a repeat listen for me, even though it was enjoyable.

In a vacuum, this is a great album. However, in the context of Queen’s discography, this is average at best.

This album is like ordering a 30” supreme pizza. At first you’re like fuck yeah, this pizza is delicious, but then 2 slices in you realize 30” is too much pizza. Physical Graffiti is, in fact, too much pizza.

After the first song I was pumped. That was the only pump I got. Boring.

They should call these guys the white keys

This is just noise

Rush always delivers. While not as technical as some of their other albums, I still enjoyed all the tracks.

This album rocks so hard it makes me want to get a Kurt Cobain on the roof of my mouth.

A staple of Brazilian music. It’s a whole vibe, and I’m down for it.

Bob Dylan from a more accessible time line. But not as good. Still good though.

If Albert Hoffman started a Vodún cult in the bayou, this would be the music that would be playing.

I feel like I just walked into an Olive Garden. AND I CAN EAT A LOT OF BREADSTICKS, BOY!

I enjoyed this more than I thought I would have, but I probably won’t listen to this again.

I’d download this off of Napster given the chance.

I needed a little more…oomph, but otherwise it was pretty good.

I never listened to Dire Straits but I enjoyed this album.

Ok but it all sounded the ssme

If Neil Young actually had a Crazy Horse this would be a 5 Star for sure.

It was ok, but I wasn’t feeling it as much as I’d hoped.

This is too 80’s for me.

I found it hard to believe this album was from 1978. While neat, it felt too one note. I dug it, but I won’t be seeking out this relevant album in the future. The music it inspired is better than this original sound.

I have never liked the “80’s” sound, and this album is packed with that 80’s sound. Astonishingly, that didn’t matter as this album is a masterpiece. Prince cleansed my ears with the waters of lake Minnetonka, and transcended what I normally would have considered 80’s trash. It makes me wonder what Prince would have sounded like if he debuted now without having to start in the context of the 80’s.

There are generational talents out there, and Elton John is one of them. This album displays that.

I wanted to like this but I really didn’t.

This just seems like early electronic music. Not horrible, but also nothing special.

The boss brings a good Americana album here. I’ve never been a Springfield fan, but I can’t deny this is good stuff. I say this as a non-fan, which means my opinion carries significantly more weight than all others.

Add Lou Reed, Pavement, The Eels, subtract what makes them great, and you’re left with a mediocre but interesting album. More like the Al Gore of Disenchanment. Additional notes: On Spotify, the album has additional tracks. Some of these are alternate versions of the originals and remixes. They are much better than the originals. Standout track: Shiver

This album is quintessential Billy Joel.

Not a fan of punk but this album was acceptable.

The Boss is back! A little more experimental, possibly rawer, than Made in the USA, this Album I feel panders a bit less towards Americana, but is still solidly a working class album.
