Not a bad album, but I'd have to be in a certain headspace. It's very moody, which I just can't do right now. Latter half was definitely better than the first, with Basic Space being a standout and maybe the most upbeat.
A lot wilder than I expected, in a good way. I was expecting an entire album of Surfin' USA but it was nothing like that. Lots of avant-garde pieces. Not all of them were hits, but more than I would have imagined going in.
Inoffensive at best. A couple of listenable tracks, but mostly just similar sounding songs that are either about needing to chase/find a girl, or being depressed/upset (usually about a girl). Far too long for what it is.
Not exactly catchy but the chaos makes it interesting.
Overall just slightly too moody for me. I'd have to be in the right headspace, and even then a lot of the lyrics—while clearly heartfelt—are kind of corny and shallow. Although a couple of songs did resonate with me.
A fun take on some famous songs. No real particular standouts but something I'd easily listen to in the background.
Singer’s voice was bad, lyrics were nonsense, and songs were forgettable.
One-dimensional, kinda misogynistic garbage.
A strong start that kind of fizzles out into less fun and interesting pieces. Still listenable the whole way through.
Not great. Another album with way too many songs about girls. Only one I really liked was the last song—an instrumental.
Good first song, but the rest kind of ran together.
No real standouts besides the last track. Very of its time.
Surprisingly good. Plenty of songs that I liked on their own, and the whole album was varied enough to stay interesting the whole time.
One or two good tracks, but listenable the whole way through. You can definitely see the influence on later acts.
Singer's voice wasn't great. Pretty awful lyrics. At the very least the songs were usually unique enough to remain interesting, even if they weren't all good.
That sure is a punk album from the 70's.
A few good songs. Probably wouldn't actively listen but it's not bad in the background.
Well varied hip hop album. Stayed interesting the whole way through, with a handful of standouts.
Great start, but the back half fell off a bit. Still pleasantly varied and interesting.
Quite liked most of the tracks, but the singer's voice almost ruins the majority of them for me.
Some interesting beats, but "I'm better than you and I'm gonna shoot you, also women suck" is such a terrible, lazy conceit.
Shockingly good. I assumed I didn't like Muse based on the three songs from this album that are played incessantly on the radio. Turns out the rest of the album is much better than those (Cydonia is still good though).
Surprisingly good. I'd always assumed all of Sheryl Crow's work was more country-leaning I guess. Quite a few good pop/moody tracks.
Not a lot of standouts, but easy listening the whole way through.
Fine. Another one that's easy listening without any real standouts. Almost want to drop it to a 2 for that but it's still probably a 3. Nothing really to dislike.
Not offensively bad or anything, but not my jam.
Fine. I might not skip it if I were in the right mood, but it's not getting a passive play every time.
Very believable that this guy worked on soundtracks before this. This just sounds like the background ambience to some low-poly 3D Indie video game.
Better than I judged it for by appearance. Expected something hokey or bluegrass, and some of it was, but there was a lot of Irish folk to it as well which I really enjoyed.
The songs are fine and the lyrics seem somewhat thoughtful. The guy's voice gets annoying after a whole album.
Strong start, bad middle, decent end.
Not particularly my jam. I'd have to be in a very specific headspace. But there are a couple of tracks I'd listen to.
Can't stand the singer's voice.
Listenable, with a few standouts that make me wonder if this is where Yoko Kanno drew some inspiration for Cowboy Bebop.
