Great background music. Soothing. Great chill vibe.

Good, soothing voice, he's just speaking in a low mutter. The music all blends together and is not very interesting. Feels like the same song 9 times in a row. I know it's a significant album, but I'd never give it another listen.

This rocked. Flight of the Rat is quintessential rock, and the entire album was deeply enjoyable. Absolutely will listen again, probably soon.

Astounding. The bass is groovy and the entire album just transports me to a calm, ethereal place. This is becoming core study music for me.

I like Anything Goes for nostalgia reasons, so it gets 3 stars instead of 2, because the rest of this is patently uninteresting to me. I like Sinatra's voice, but it feels like background music exclusively.

This just isn't my genre. The album is well-produced, and some of the beats make for pleasant listening, but I have difficulty understanding lyrics. When the only appeal of a song is the lyrical content, it just won't work for me. Additionally, the majority of the songs are so miserable even when I factor in my dislike of the genre. I had to force myself to finish listening to it—it's also so long and really drags.

Ella Fitzgerald has a truly phenomenal voice, and the Gershwins' work is fantastic. The album is disturbingly long, to be sure, and there aren't many standouts, but as a whole it was enjoyable to use as background music.

A great time. Succinct and enjoyable, great guitars, great lyrics, great rhythms.

This was good fun! A strong voice and great rhythms and instrumentation.

Obviously did not understand a word. The energy was upbeat and his voice is great, but it's a little too soft for my tastes.

The lyrics on this album are an absolute riot. The music isn't that interesting, but the voice is great and the lyrics sell it for me.

The lyrics on these songs are simply not good. At all. The instrumentation is fun, though.

This album was a whole bunch of nothing for me. I'm writing this mere minutes after finishing it and don't remember a single song.

Decent background metal. Like the genre, don't much remember the songs.

A surprisingly enjoyable listen—I haven't listened to much electronic music, but I tend to enjoy the genre, and this is a fantastic example of it. It does drag a little long, though; a few of the longer songs could stand to be shorter.

Nice of MJ Cole to name "Rough Out Here" after the experience of trying to listen to this album in one sitting.

Quite enjoyable blues rock.

Solid, enjoyable, great guitar.

Astounding, enthralling, and foundational for modern jazz. An absolute pleasure.

I'm very ambivalent on this one. It has very high highs but a lot of it feels otherwise unnotable. I think I overall enjoyed it more than not, though, and these guys were definitely ahead of their time.

I'd heard about this album for almost my entire life and I'm very glad to have listened to it now. Utterly fantastic alt-rock.

The guitars are great, but I don't find myself drawn to the rest of the music (lyrics, beats, etc).

The slight jazz influence is nice, and many of the beats and samplings are excellent, but I'm not at all a fan of most of the lyrical content.

Insane, cacophanous, and ahead of its time. I loved this album; though the lows are low, the highs are in the clouds. The screaming guitars, experimental instrumentation, unique vocal sound, and constant delivery of unexpected twists made this an instant relisten, and saying I'll come back to it is the highest praise I can give.

Very enjoyable and the right amount of eccentric. You can tell they were truly enjoying what they were doing.

I really liked the flow, and the way this album is more reminiscent of older hip-hop/rap. Most songs are uplifting and empowering. Would have been a 4/5 if not for "One of Them," which is just several minutes of blatant homophobia for no reason.
