First two songs off the album are great, diminishing returns from there for me. Like the instrumentals for the most part but struggle with too much of this variety of American rock.

First time listening to Transformer cover to cover. Pretty familiar with the hits, so I think I expected more from the album as a whole. Still, can see why it's held up as a classic, its peaks are incredibly high.

What's this?? A non-rock album??
Aaaand I hate it. This passing the muster for the list does not fill me with confidence for albums to come. Talking Heads cover was fairly upsetting and boy do I really hate Jericho. From there it somehow keeps getting worse.
There's a redeeming moment or two (I don't hate Come to My Aid) but shit me I couldn't wait for it to be over.

Having listened to this album, particularly Jesus, Etc quite a few times, I approached with apprehension. Some albums that I once thought I was a big fan of have cropped up on this list, only for me to find that the sheen has worn off. Fortunately for me, YHF was the opposite. Beautiful instrumentation and lyrics drive this peaceful modern classic.
