Overall 6/10: Very good soul and funk album. Good D&B, some absolute vibes. Surprising variety in styles contained in one album. There were a couple stinky songs, but the majority is good. The remixes are absolute bangers. Track 1 - Keep on Movin' - Very chill, simple lyrics, great piano back tracking and a wonderful drum and bass solo around 4:30 Track 2 - Fairplay - Forgettable, deharmonized voice and melody Track 3 - Holdin' On - Fun clubby song, great upbeat song Track 4 - Feeling Free - Live from Westside Studios, United Kingdom/1989 - Beach vibes, early rap style vocals Track 5 - African Dance - Very chill, has great flute; minimal lyrics Track 6 - Dance - This song is a bop feels like a modern Trance song Track 7 - Feel Free - Pretty good, a little long Track 8 - Happiness - Dub - Backing melody and piano chorus is such a vibe Track 9 - Back to Life - Amazing vocals Track 10 - Jazzie's Groove - Fantastic transition into this song from Back to Life, very chill song Track 11 - Ambition (Rap) - Old school rap, great beat sample with good trumpet sample. Track 12 - Keep on Movin' - Big Beat Accapella - Forgettable but enjoyable Track 13 - Back to Life (However Do You Want Me) - Amazing remix of the original, the beat is so catchy; makes me want to head bob Track 14 - Jazzie's Groove (Piano Version) - 10/10 intro, amazing drums & bass, very funky Track 15 - Back to Life (However Do You Want Me) - One World Remix - Not as strong as the other remixes. Definitely Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles vibes Track 16 - Keep on Movin' - M Beat Bonus Mix - Would go hard with a drift edit or when playing Gran Turismo

Overall 9/10 One of my favorite albums which makes the tragic passing of the artist a couple months later that much heavier. Track 1: Mojo Pin - A song of the time; bands like Radiohead and early Led Zeppelin can be heard in the vocal and instrumental melodies Track 2: Grace - The guitar in this song in particular really stands out in combination with Jeff's lyrical voice and melodic harmony Track 3: Last Goodbye - Upbeat and fun; super depressing lyrics Track 4: Lilac Wine - Ultra chill, musical poetry Track 5: So Real - The crash out song of the album Track 6: Hallelujah - Such a classic and so emotionally charged; beautifully written lyrics Track 7: Lover, You Should've Come Over - Such a sad, sad song; even more tragic as it relates to Jeff's passing shortly after. Track 8: Corpus Christi Carol - Very opera-like voice Track 9: Eternal Life - Its a bop, rock and roll; maybe playing into the popularity of Creed? Track 10: Dream Brother - The most forgettable on the album, witchy vibes Track 11: Forget Her - Late night depression, super relatable song personally

Overall: 5/10 - Very alternative, but not my personal cup of tea. I like the backing tracks/samples but there are some insane sounds that cut through the vibe to remind you that it's an alternative Beck album. Track 1: Devils Haircut - Great drums and bass; classic weird Beck lyrics Track 2: Hotwax - Stoney bologna song Track 3: Lord Only Knows - Very alternative and non-traditional sounds Track 4: The New Pollution - Good song, chill but upbeat vibes Track 5: Derelict - Absolutely insane drumline, Beck is getting funky with the sounds and how they combine Track 6: Novacane - Super chill, Beastie Boys inspired, lyrics seem to be drawing a parallel between opiates and semi-truck drivers; maybe a metaphor idk Track 7: Jack-Ass - I'm definitely not high enough to interpret these lyrics, the song is very chill and reminds me of laying in a hammock on a summer day Track 8: Where It's At - I've definitely heard this song before but didn't know Beck heard it. Classic chill song Track 9: Minus - Very alternative punk, acid vibes Track 10: Sissyneck - Backing bass & drum track is a banger; the lyrics work very well with the backing track and the chorus hits really well Track 11: Readymade - Stoner rock; the low-fidelity record scratch works really well Track 12: High 5 (Rock the Catskills) - VERY Beastie Boys; you can definitely hear the label's influence on this one Track 13: Ramshackle - Total opposite of the previous track. Very acoustic and chill; almost melancholy. Track 14: Computer Rock - Outro, nothing much to say about this track; would have been a great reminder that the vinyl is over.

God, I hate Kanye as a person, but this album is alright. It takes a lot of effort to separate the art from the artist, especially with this PoS. However, after listening to this album, I can see its appeal and understand why it is so popular. Overall rating 7/10

Speakerboxxx is a 4/10, The Love Below is a 2/10 except for one song. No wonder I never hear anyone saying OutKast is their favorite artist. "Head doesn't count, right? Ah, thanks God, I knew you'd understand."

4/10, no notes.

Elmo sings off-kilter soul/country which could be easily paired with a found-footage compilation of a psycho-murderer doing their passion crime. I was unnerved the entire album, which I think is the point. It's incredibly haunting with its cheery up-beat melodies paired with the disturbingly suggestive lyrics peppered with violence and fist-clenched insinuations. Like watching something drown in the most picturesque lake you've ever seen. Probably going to give me nightmares - 6/10

The best track is the first track, and the album gets worse from there. Not a terrible album, just extremely depressing. The fact that the first track has nearly as many listens as the rest of the album really speaks volumes. There are hundreds of quirky coffee and antique shops playing some of these tracks on repeat. Overall 4/10

10/10 no comments. Incredible album I've never heard of.

Classic UK punk album. Pretty good for what they were trying to go for. Their song "We're Not Supposed To" is pretty creepy and unhinged though. 4/10

First 60% of the album is incredibly good. The last 40% is alright. Overall 8/10 because the whole album is a 90s vibe.

Boy band vibes. Very '85 synth pop sound and N-Sync/Backstreet Boys vocal style. Wouldn't be surprised if those bands pulled inspiration from Scritti Politti. Personally this is my least liked genre/style so my rating will be bias. 3/10, wouldn't listen to again, and none of the songs made it on my playlist.

I love The Black Keys so this review will be biased in favor of their music. In general the album is a whole vibe. Great "strut" music or walking music. Some very viral hits early on and just good alternative rock for the whole album. Is it the best album? Not necessarily, but it's damn good. Multiple songs on this album are in my daily listening playlist. Good stuff 8/10

Had most of the classic Nirvana songs, but I've never been a big Nirvana fan. It was good to hear some of their lesser played music but still did not enrapture me like it does with some of the fans. Solid 5/10 album

Just as relevant now as it was when it came out 10/10

It was alright, the viral songs are viral for a reason. Not really my style of music. 4/10

I was stone cold sober when I listened to this album. I don't think that's the intended way to listen to this music. If I was tripping on acid or shrooms I am sure I would have had a much better time. I appreciate the historical significance of this band and music, but this was absolute trash. Lowest rating yet, worse then OutKast 1/10

It's aight, 4/10

An OK album. I didn't look up the history or significance if there is any. They just seem to be a bunch of kids having a fun time. It's pretty generic punk rock which for 1979 was probably unheard of. However Black Sabbath was in their prime, and the Rock genre was in its golden age. I've never heard of the Undertones until today when this album was recommended, which I guess plays towards their name. I added a couple songs to my playlist, they're alright. 4/10
