Never was a huge Nina Simone fan before hearing this. The live in NY 1964 tracks are killer.

There were a lot of great moments in this but it's definitely not my favorite Deep Purple.

It's hard to give this anything lower than a 4 because it produced multiple iconic songs. I still wish this was a single record with only the greatest. That would have made this a 5 but it's still a really great record. Andre and Big Boi were both at the height of their creativity when this was made.

I never really "got" Sonic Youth. But this was changed things for me. I really love this record. The songs are all well composed and perfectly executed.

The really theatrical songs drive me crazy here. Disc 2 is far superior to me, though some winners like Mother, Goodbye Blue Sky, and Young Lust on disc 1 at least give you something to look forward to before getting to the second disc.

Every ELP album seems to have that ONE song that just doesn't belong. Are You Ready Eddy? is that song here. Otherwise, it's a great record.

I just can't...

Musically great.

This record was definitely a fundamental one when I was refining my music taste. It was time to move on from grunge and this was one of the greats from 1996 to push me in a different direction.

I liked this way more than I thought I would.

Willie's voice on this record is the best it ever sounded. And a good reminder that Willie can really play the guitar.

The good songs are amazing and the not good songs are real bad. A little inconsistent for me.

Just a great, solid rock record.

I like T. Rex a lot and this is solid but there's not a ton of variation to his sound

Really good for what it is -- the hits are great but mostly not for me.

I love Isaac Hayes as a composer and songwriter.

I know it's a little cheesy and not incredibly dynamic. But I love it anyway. It's fun.

Sometimes I really hate Stevie Wonder. His music is flawless, he played nearly every instrument, and he had just turned 22 when he recorded this record. I can't even fathom what it would mean to be this talented. Flawless record overall. I Believe is such a powerful song and the perfect closer.

Compared to Are You Experienced? from the same year, this one felt like a lot of filler.

It's not bad. It's good pop music but it comes during that weird time in the CD era where the idea was to fill up every minute. This would be a better 45 minute album -- most records would be.
