Ok, I'm a huge Queen fan, so I pretty much loved this by default. Since Led Zeppelin came out a few years before Queen, you can definitely hear the influence they had on Queen. Led Zeppelin II was definitely in my wheelhouse and I enjoyed it.
It was fine, pretty generic 70s rock. I like 70s rock but probably wouldn't listen to this particular album again. I'd give it 2.5 stars, but I'll round up to 3 because of Don't Let Me Down. I particularly liked the sax and guitar solos in that song.
I enjoyed the album for the most part. There's a brightness to the guitar sound that I like and the songs had a lot of energy. It was interesting to hear a bluesy tone mixed with Beach Boy type harmonies but with a harder rock sound. Favorite song: The Ox. Worst song: I'm A Man
I really liked the folk-blues style and the instrumentation. I'm glad we got "Rainy Day Women" out of the way first because to me it was the worst track. It definitely improved after that. I don't listen to Dylan much because I find his vocal tone to be somewhat unpleasant, but I think he's excellent at telling a story and delivering his lyrics with emotion. The standout songs to me were "I Want You" and "Stuck Inside of Mobile...". But I was surprised to find that my favorite was "Sad-Eyed Lady of the Lowland", the longest track on this double album. "Sad-Eyed" was really beautiful and he sounded great on it.

Interesting. I've never intentionally listened to Celtic folk punk before but I liked it. I feel like I had trouble understanding some the lyrics because of the music seemed louder than the vocals at some points. Love the traditional instrumentation mixed with rock. Favorites: If I Should Fall From Grace, Fiesta, Thousands Are Sailing, Metropolis, Fairytail of New York
Pretty good. I appreciate good bass playing and Bruce Thomas of The Attractions was great. The bass playing is definitely a highlight of this record for me. Standout songs: No Action, Pump It Up, Lip Service. I wish I could give half-stars, because I'd rate it 3.5 stars, but I'll round up to a 4 because of the bass.
It was okay. Pretty good 70s rock. The only song I knew was The Boys Are Back in Town. I was cleaning while listening, so I wasn't paying close attention to the songs, but seems like good music to exercise or clean to. I'd say 2.5 stars, but I'm going to go with a 2 because of how overdubbed it is (I know overdubbing is common on live albums but supposedly this one is mostly altered).
It was a little repetitive for me. I don't really listen to punk, but this was a good introduction. Standout Songs: Hate & War, What's My Name, London's Burning, Career Opportunities, Police & Thieves (loved the bass line).
Yea...not for me. At least it was only 15 minutes lol, although I did like "Beverly Hills". It would probably be fun to experience at a live show and have the energy of watching with a crowd.
Ok, so that was a journey for me lol. At first I was like "hmm, this is pretty bad". Then about 8 songs in I was like "I kind of love this?" and by the end I was rocking out to it. I was flummoxed for a bit because it's kind of bad (especially production wise), but it's also really great at the same time. I was worried at 68 minutes and 20 songs that it would be a bit too long but I really didn't notice because I was having fun. I enjoyed discovering something new to me and will definitely check out more Husker Du. Favorite tracks: Standing in the Rain, Back from Somewhere, She Floated Away, Actual Condition, No Reservations
It was good. It was pleasant and a bit twee. I enjoyed all the different styles presented. Very British and Beatles-esque. I probably wouldn't listen to this album again but glad I got to check it out. Standout songs: Sitting By the Riverside, Last of the Steam-Powered Trains
Pretty good. The album title perfectly describes the energy of The Stooges. Standout songs: Raw Power, Your Pretty Face Is Going To Hell. Love the bluesy sound of I Need Somebody. Down and dirty rock 'n' roll.
