90s Britpop Rock
Even though it sounds big it feels dated. A piece of 90s nostalgia. Probably won't listen to the album as a whole again.
Favorite tracks:
A design for life
Overplayed for most but mandatory listen for everybody.
Every song is great.
It might be the first album that exposed me to scream vocals!
Classic rock anthems, great for road trips and BBQs.
A great feel-good record, easily listenable from front to back.

Very very good. Blends various genres with hip hop. Electronica, funk, jazz, gospel, rock... "There is no genre, no mainstream versus underground.. there is only groove"!
Special for it's genre and time, but feels dated. I'm getting bored listening to these songs.
I'm giving it 2 stars for it's significance.

Nice blues-rock album. La Grange is such an anthem, I love it. It deserves 3 stars just for that. Heh, a haw haw haw, now I need a beer!

La Grange
One of the greatest. Musically, lyrically, sonically! It's a great concept album about the effects of personal and social isolationism.
"Pink’s story is finished. He constructed his wall, fell into moral decay because of it, and ultimately destroyed this isolating barrier. Our story, however, is still taking place. What happens to Pink soon becomes nowhere near as important as what happens to us. How do we live our lives? Are we currently constructing or tearing down those hindrances that produce disconnection and degeneration? How do our personal walls contribute to those of our nation, our world? How much of the world’s ills are we really responsible for?"

Fun and creative album, punk rock with jazz influences. There are many songs here, all very short but high in quality. Loved the bass and drumming!
Not something I usually listen to, but I had a good time.

Laid back, all time classic hip-hop album with brilliant (best?) production from Dr. Dre, great rhymes and delivery.
"The album really introduces us to the laid back vibe of the Snoop persona. Very chill. Yes, it's gansta rap with the lyrics but the funk and Snoop make this more chill."
Top hip hop album. No skips.
Witty, dramatic and melancholic.

I'm ashamed this was my first listen... Great album!
Beautiful melodies and instrumentation with brutal... honest lyrics about the human cost of wars.
No skips.
Maybe if I had heard this when it came out and it was my first interaction with 'world' music, I would have been very excited. I like the fusion of African styles and rhythms with pop and folk, but today it just feels dated.
All controversies aside, it still has great lyrical and production quality.

Mixing rap with rock and heavy metal riffs, this fun and creative album was the first rap album to top the Billboard charts, marking hip-hop's crossover into the mainstream.
I understand and appreciate its significance, but I find their voices and rapping a bit annoying. Still, there are some great anthems on this.
