Discovered A Tribe Called Quest through Midnight Marauder and The Low End Theory earlier this week, so this is a very fun happenstance. This album is solid, especially for a first album. I still think MM and LET are better, but this is a solid entry. 5/5.

I understand the cultural importance of Bob Dylan, but his music doesn't resonate with me well. I don't like how his voice sounds when he sings, and the harmonica gets old very quickly especially when sustaining a single note. There are some decent songs on the album though.

This was sometimes a painful listen. The album gets better as it develops, but the first two songs had me thinking it was a joke. The production quality was abysmal with instruments sounding like I was listening to some random high school band practicing in the music room. This is probably the worst album of the three I've listened to so far from pretty much every standpoint.

Pretty good album with some solid songs, but some a little bit more experimental that don't hit quite as hard. Still, an enjoyable listen.

Very good album with a nice sound to it. Barbarism Beings at Home has a excellent instrumental track and resonated very strongly.

Amazing discovery! I'd never heard of Skunk Anansie before but I love their sound! The album tapers off in the part that wasn't in the original tracklist but I won't judge it by that. Very solid album.

Much better than the Bob Dylan album I'd listened to, but the lyrics didn't resonate with me at all.

This is the first time I'm getting an album that has a song I actually know. I have a lot of feelings towards this album. I understand where it's coming from and how it was revolutionary in a way for its time, but I can't help but think this is music meant to be listened to live, as listening to it on my own makes it very underwhelming. The Ramones were more interested in being loud than in being interesting, it sounds like. Still, it's not a BAD album, but it's trying something and not quite achieving it.

I didn't love how it started, but there were a couple of songs (like Afro Left and Space Shanty) that really vibed with me. This is the first electronic music album I've gotten too, and considering how much of the music I normally listen to derives from electronic music, I think it's important to remark on its legacy. There are a lot of techniques used in this album that I still hear very often. Overall an enjoyable listen, though some songs bothered me a little more.

A couple of songs I recognize on this album! But overall, while the sound is okay, Billy Corgan's voice just bothers me a little too much, a bit like Bob Dylan's voice bothers me. This really affects my enjoyment of the album.

Enjoyable listen. Again, comparable to Bob Dylan, but with a better voice and a bit more self-awareness. I thought it was a fine album, but there were no songs that came to get me - they were all just passably fine to listen to.

First album from 50's, but a solid one. I knew Tutti Frutti, but I thought the rest of the album was very enjoyable to listen to.

Pretty good album! First reggae album, but definitely a solid one.

First song (The Kid from Red Bank) started extremely strong, but I think it did capture the spirit of the 50's Cold War era, but it makes for an intense listen. The more relaxed songs are a lot more enjoyable to listen to casually. Overall, this is a very solid album, and while it starts off a little bit much, the rest of the album is extremely nice and fun to listen to.

This album makes it painfully obvious that the list was created in the early 2000's. While it's fine, it's definitely not an album I would consider particularly good or even influential. It's a fine album with Song 2 being the obvious popular one that I'd heard very often before. But while its songs sound nice, it doesn't have that "influential" vibe that I would expect from albums in this list.

This definitely sounds like the precursor to things like chillhop lofi music that I listen to all the time. However, there are some parts of the album that made me pause the music and stop for a little because it was a bit too much. However, I can definitely tell this is a highly inspirational album.

A couple of songs I recognize from this album. Definitely a solid metal album of the very early 80's. There was one section in Rapid Fire that felt like the guitarist had a great rift idea but had trouble executing. That being said, it's very solid classic metal that is enjoyable to listen to. Red, White & Blue kinda sucks though and really clashes with the rest of the album.

Pretty good album, very nice to listen to while doing working. I haven't been able to pay close attention to the music, but I'm sure there's a lot of think about based off of the small blurbs I could catch. Definitely an artist I will continue to seek out.

I am a fan of metal in general, but this is barely listenable. The members barely stay in rhythm with each other and everyone plays so loud you're not even sure what you're listening to. As the album progresses, the sound gets a bit better however. I learned this is because the two sides of the album weren't produced by the same folks. Like the Ramones, I feel like this is the kind of music that is meant to be experienced live, where a lot of noise drowns everything else and you create a massive moshpit. That being said, this is undoubtedly an album that had an immense influence on death metal and the other types of metals that I use to listen to all the time as a teenager.

Very nice listening especially considering yesterday's album. I like the mellow voice and almost ethereal sounds. However, some songs almost sound like parodies of themselves, which is interesting, but I don't think that was where they wanted to go.

Some very classic Adult Contemporary. I know Adele is 25 on this album, but she has the gravitas and voice of someone much older. There are obviously some songs I know from this album. Overall it's pretty enjoyable to listen to, but Adele does fall a little outside of the typical music I listen to. That being said, the quality of the songs and the production quality is definitely there, and I have no doubt Adele is going to influence music to come, though in the genre that she is, she sounds more like the culmination of singers that came before her (like Celine Dion or Mariah Carey). Only time will tell how this goes.
