Not my favorite Zeppelin album, but a great one to be sure.
The best post Beatles release there is.
"Let Me Roll It" is maybe Paul's best song and there are like 4 other certified hits on here. Great album
This was a weird one for me. The more I listened to it, the more I liked it, but I doubt I’ll come back to it.
At the start of most songs, I’d think it wasn’t for me but by the halfway point I was almost always on board.
In another life I’d give it 4-5 more listens and let it grow on me, but I just don’t have that kind of time anymore, so here we are.
They’ve always been more of a singles group for me and this album doesn’t change much. “So Fresh, So Clean” and “Ms. Jackson” are all time smash hits and there’s a few other good tracks here as well, but also some clunkers. Couldn’t care less about the interludes.
The list of live albums that I enjoy enough to listen to regularly (or even semi-regularly) is very small.
I enjoyed this well enough, but the odds of me ever listening to it again are so slim that I'm hesitant to give it more than 3 stars.
"You Don't Love Me" was my favorite track and that one might get some play, but as a whole, I'll probably leave this one behind.
3.5 Stars.
This one is interesting. It’s, all at once, of its time and ahead of it. At turns, it sounds like who Pink Floyd becomes and also sometimes like the Beatles. Plus there’s that weird Austin Powers number at track two.
Overall a good debut, but not nearly there best.
3.5 stars. It’s not bad, but this version of early 90s, West cost gangster rap has never been my favorite.
The songs I already knew remain the highlights. The rest is whatever
I'm kinda shocked at how much I liked this album. I've never really gotten into Elliott Smith and had pretty much written him off. Couldn't name a song by him. Apparently I listened to one of his albums last year, but it must not have left an impression.
I think I'll actually come back to this one. Lots of Beatles influence throughout this album which is cool.
A pleasantly surprised 4 stars here.
4 Stars. Always liked this one. You know the hits. The rest are good too
2.5 Stars
Mostly a yawn for me. Just not really my thing. I enjoy electronic music, but usually from a different lane.
"Science Friction" and "Quality Seconds" were the only tracks I was into - it gets a star for each (and a half for bits of the last couple tracks), but I doubt I'm coming back to it.
2.5 Stars - We've got one pretty good song and a bunch of inoffensive songs I'll never listen to again. Just not my thing
4+ stars - I know this is the consensus "best" album from the band (and it's great!), but I've always enjoyed Nevermind more.
2.5 Stars - Just not into it. A few good songs, but nothing I'm necessarily drawn back to.
Great album from a band that’s generally singles only for me.
You’re listening for the bass lines and guitar riffs more than anything else.
“I Could Have Lied” is the unexpected stand out for me
The definition of a “greatest hits” band for me. I almost never listen to a full album, but this is great. And there are a handful of tracks that I can’t ever recall listening to that I love.
“‘39”….are you kidding me?! How was that not a hit??
And then you have 2 of the all time greatest hits from any band in “You’re My Best Friend” and “Bohemian Rhapsody”
4.5 stars
The first 5 star album so far....
More than half the album consists of songs that most people know and love. And the other songs are also great!
What more are you looking for?
3 Stars
Nothing wrong with this, but it's not for me.
It's fine.
This and Help! are my least listened to Beatles albums, but it doesn't matter. It still gets 5 stars.
Question: Did they ever release a bad album?
Answer: Not even close
World's greatest band.
3.5 Stars
Fun album. I didn't know what to expect with this one, but I was pleasantly surprised.
Inoffensive album with 1-2 songs I might revisit at some point, but nothing I feel drawn to overall.
Better than I remember with multiple good songs, but I’m probably not coming back to it much. 3.5 stars
I’ve never been a huge Metallica fan, but this is the era I think of when I think of them. Great album. Probably my favorite that I’ve heard from them so far. Solid 4.5 stars
I made it a 1.75 songs in and it was a valiant effort, if I do say so myself.
I'm good.
3 Stars.
Average album. I admittedly had it on in the background, but only once or twice did it peak my interest enough to move into active listening
Might ruffle some feathers with this one, but what a slog to get through in 2026, man.
It's really a 1 star album, but it gets an extra solely because 23 years ago I would've given it enough chances to enjoy a few tracks.
4 Stars
I ended up liking this one more as it went on. I'm not sure how often I'll come back to it, but a fun album for sure.
Whoever said it falls off after the first half is out of their mind. The album picks up at "Hell Yes" and keeps going from there.
2.5 Stars - not a bad album, but dreadfully boring.
Early 90s west coast rap has never been my thing, but it's okay. The beats are too repetitive and most of the songs drone on too long, but it's a solid 3
This is my favorite album of all time. I know every song front to back and don't need to listen to it again, BUT I'M GOING TO ANYWAY!
Not sure what there even is to say about it. It's all great. If you didn't rate it a 5/5, you are wrong and we would not get along.
This would be today's album. Just told a friend I don't mess with the Satanists last night and then we have Marilyn Manson the next day.
Not a fan of blasphemy and I never understood the appeal of this guy back in the day anyway.
I figured this would be a 1 star album, but I actually considered an extra for a minute or two. I'm good, though.
A couple good songs, but mostly an album that is not for me. Some weird stuff on the back half, too.
2.5 Stars
Mostly forgettable album (this has been happening a lot in this exercise so far). Not bad, but not something I need to hear again outside of 1-2 tracks. Whatever
I really enjoy this album a lot, but have never understood the love affair some people have with it.
Easy 4 stars; something I come back to every couple years, but not something I listen to incessantly
Cool cover, some fun guitars, but nothing cool or fun enough to bring me back.
Mostly a snooze fest, but the bass line on "Colours Fly and Catherine Wheel" is the best part of the album. "Glittering Prize" is cool, too.
So for those reasons I'll give it a 2.5
Gosh, what a boring album! I swear, people have got to be lying when they rate some of these albums just because they're on this list or they were told something was good once upon a time.
Anyway, "Allison" was the only song I really liked. "Stormy Weather" was pretty cool, but then I got bored and realized it was less than 2 minutes into a 3:26 song. Not a great sign.
2 Stars and that's probably generous.
Awwww yeah! Now this is an album.
I've always had a soft spot for Dion (and the Belmonts). This is great. Not sure I can swing a 5, but the lower end of a 4.5 is where it's at.
Let's. Go!
Update: I just read some of y'alls reviews and you're certifiable. Wild stuff happening over there from some of you.
Rough stuff. Fever dream soundtrack. Nails on a chalk board. Nightmare music.
It's music for ASMR freaks before anyone knew what an ASMR was. Some of it threatens to be soothing, but it never is.
I'm good
2.5 Stars
Not bad, but not for me. Couple good tracks, but I'm not likely to come back to it.
We love a good saxophone, though, so it gets an extra .5 for that
