Absolute classic, many needle drops from film and tv, love the beggining and end
Fun from start to finish. Timeless sound, learned about it from the SNL 30
Theatrical, like a punky version of Lou Reed.
The classics outweigh the deep cuts.
To my surprise the end is better than the beggining.
One of my all time favorite bands, very similar style and vibe as their debut, prelude to their most creative leap.
Favorites are Found a Job, Artists Only and of course, Al Green's Take Me to the River.
I've only enjoyed certain classic prog-rock artists, but not all.
This isn't quite my cup of tea, even though the first is an all time classic, incredible musicianship and performance.
Wish i was into it more.
Second best Beatles album imo, great from start to finish.
Love how the chaotic dynamic of their relationship led to many songs that otherwise won't have been released and all are memorable, quotable and almost all hits.
The recording sounds great, great covers, just not consistant enough to be a classic for me or rated higher
Good contemporary pop album, some great deep cuts, love DamFunks contributions.
Not memorable enough, but fun all the way through
Love almost every song.
Lifts you with happiness and creativity.
Sounds so ordinary and original at the same time.
Amazing songs sounding so young and inexperienced yet years beyond what they had lived until then.
Can you tell Talking Heads are one of my favorites?
I forget how good this album is from start to finish.
No skips, sounds like a greatest hits album.
Two of my favorite songs of all time.
Big fan of James Brown and understand the historical relevance of the album.
Huge detractors to rate it higher is the length and song selection for the album version; it’s just a sampler of the impact of his live show.
Flawless classic, debatable if it’s the best or my favorite led zep album.
No deep cuts to be found, 8 huge songs.
Hard to find albums of this caliber
I've never been a fan of theirs, but half of this album is ingrained in my brain of how many times of heard them.
Absolute classices from my childhood, i remember my favorite changing every couple of years.
I never got into any of their other albums, but this is a 90s legend.
Even though i was around for the rise and fall of Amy, i never listened to the album fully.
I really like Ronson's production and the singles are amazing, and Amy's personality shines through even on the deep cuts.
I've never cared much for Rehab, but You know i'm no good is an all timer.
If the non-singles were better i'd rate this higher.
Greatly influential for sample based music, i see why it was used to cut so many tracks.
Overall it gets pretty repetitive, fun, but definetly made to be listened to once, take the best tracks and move on from it.
I was vaguely familiar with Orbital and never heard this album at all before.
Loved it and will be going back to it soon. It's actually awakening a taste to listen to oldschool british electronic music.
I was completely unfamiliar with the Stranglers other than Golden Brown.
I was pleasently surprised by this album, i'm a sucker for post-punk and this album was energetic and catchy, I don't know how they're not much bigger.
The album was on and off throughout, ill stick with some select tracks like Hanging Around, Peaches and Get a Grip on Yourself.
Great songs but too few to make up for the lesser deep cuts, the lesser of his awesome catalogue
Never been a fan regardless of their hits.
The lyrics are great and both singles are huge and memorable, specially It's a Sin, and i see the revolutionary style they introduced on using samplers to create music, i just don't like what the they sampled and how the vocals are produced.
Overall good but not for me
Folk-rock isn't really my cup of tea, but i gotta admit that many songs and harmonies on this album are making a strong case to revisit all the greats.
Helplessly Hoping is an amazing song, feel like i've heard it all my life but coulnd't place it on who mame it.
Love the psychrock elements of the opener.
Might be my entry to this genre.
The hits are incredible, the deep cuts are forgetable and the song sequencing is unfortunate. rearranging the song order might do it good, but it's not as strong as the previous two.
Decent mix of new wave and pop, but not really sure why this is on the list.
Obviously familiar with Dear God, but the rest is pretty radio friendly, mid.
One of those "had to be there" albums really, but nothing stood out to me to listen to again.
Not bad though, just not memorable.
I'm barely getting familiar to Neil Youngs discography thanks to this experience, but this album doesn't speak to me at all.
Always seen the cover as a reference, but now that i've heard it, nothing stood out to me.
Hopefull to find other more exciting albums than this.
A couple of my favorites are in this album, but most are pretty good and memorable songs, but it gets very repetitive very quick.
Barely beginning their carreer, still haven't experimented much and sticking to some good and famous covers to fill out the track list.
Never gets better than It Won't Be Long at the start.
Love this version of the bluesy style they were famous for.
Roadhouse Blues and Peace Frog have always been on my top 5 Doors songs, and the album never really faulters.
Starts great, ends great, great deep cuts like Indian Summer and Waiting for the Sun (shouldn't that come on Waiting For the Sun album?)
If only some of the middle songs were better it'd be a strong 4 songs, but it's a good 3 for now.
I’m only familiar with very early and mid oughts Costello music, this 80s era is not that interesting to be honest.
The piano parts remind me of glam rock, Elton John style of songs, but most of the album sounds pretty mid and unmemorable.
It’s radical, it’s experimental, it’s romantic, it’s commercial, it’s too long, it’s too good, it’s whimsical, it’s crazy and centered and incomprehensible and kinda excessive but an overall artistic vision well excecuted within the chaos they created for themselves to share with the world
Couldn't find the original tracklist, only the CD version which is probably close to the full show.
Great big band album, not sure why it's listed unless there's some historical context.
Fun pop record I never listened to before. Obviously very well know Come On Eileen, altough we should all admit that the Save Farris is much better.
The combo of new wave and their particular celtic influences make a unique sound. Sadly i'm not quite interested in listening to it again.
For all intents and purposes, this is a perfect album, specially if you dispense with the extra tracks that almost work as a "deluxe version".
If you concentrate and stick with the album from start to end it will take you so many places musically and spiritually that you had no idea an album could take you.
As has always been one of my favorite songs of all time across all genres.
Isn't she lovely, Sir Duke and I Wish are classic unskipable radio tunes.
Everybody recognizes Pastime Paradise for the Coolio song.
Knocks me off my feet, Talk with God and Ordinary Pain are incredible deep cuts, love hearing Minnie Riperton on that last one.
The begining track is not as strong as the finishing one, but that last one is so bombasticly funky and danceble, it makes up for any weakness the album could've had.
Few albums in history reach the heights this one takes you.
my favorite early beatles album.
Almost every song could've been a single, actually the singles are the ones i like the least.
Just like people have favorite beatle eras, i've had favorite song eras.
One of the first was Things We Said Today, later Happy to dance with you, If I fell, I'll be back.
Never seen the movie, but i always remember the animated series with several of these songs.
Great, fun, memorable album
Pretty much the big bang for millions of people, thousands of bands, hundreds of genres.
THe world would be a very different place if this album didn't exist.
Every sensor and controversy hyped these songs beyond what they carry by themselves. Reminds me of The Velvet Underground and Nico, but i love that album and this one is just as impactful, but not as memorable for me at least.
Crazy that all the influence they carried was from only one album (and two bassist to be honest).
I wish I liked all the songs more than I just liked their lyrics.
I can't imagine what it could've been like to live in the 70s and get the news that there's a new Kraftwerk album. It must have been extremely exciting to listen to the future everytime.
As experimental as it may seem, feels like their first real pop album.
Europe Enless might be my favorite on the album, even on top of TEE, which is a classic amongst classics because of it's impact in proppeling rapping onto the world.
It cover's all the basics of how they develope albums, the soundtrack music, the effects song, the trips, the singles, at least the first time it's really cohesive.
Didn't realize that Doug Yule is already part of the VUs in this album, the transition from Cale to Yule sounds pretty seamless. Confused less chaotic for maturity.
Even though WL/WH is my favorite VU album, pound for pound this album is better and only comparable to their debut.
There's no weak points, the Murder Mistery might be their most listenable epic, Candy Says and Beggining to see the light are some of my all time favorites of theirs, Pale Blue Eyes is an all timer, great closer with After Hours.
I'm tempted to give it five stars, but then i'd have to give 6 stars to the previous 2 albums, so i'll stick to 4.
Radiohead is one of my all time favorite bands.
I remember when this album came out. I hated it. It was pretty quick after Kid A which to this day is my favorite album of theirs and possibly top 3, at least top 10 album released in my lifetime (born in late 83).
It was hard to deal with Amnesiac after the roll they were in with since OK Computer, but with time I felt it matured very well and I found liking almost every single song by themselves.
Packt Like Sardines, Pyramid Song and Dollars & Cents are my favorites, specially Packt, one of my favorites from them in general.
Remember Knives Out and I might be wrong from listening to the radio back in the day.
You can cover many genres with each song, melow, electronic, jazzy, instrumental, rock, indie/jangle.
I love it, not perfect, but could have been.
Surprisingly good and consistent.
Great open and close to the album, no bad songs, fairly original sound of hard rock, never been the a fan of theirs and there is a lot of LedZep worship, but they’re welcome to it.
Ain’t Talking About Love is the best one after the opener.
Not something I’d pass to my children, but really good
I was around when they came up, I think they were part of the garage wave of the early 00's but carved out a space for themselves doing the whole southern blues rock niche they were in before going commercial even though they always were pretty big since the start.
It's slightly repetitive, but very fun. Saw them live by this time and I remember not being able to tell their songs apart from the singles Red Morning Light and Molly's Chambers. My favorites have always been Wasted Time and Spiral Staircase.
Haven't been familiar with ELO except for 2-3 popular songs.
The combination of orchestral and 70s rock is unique but it gets really repetitive really fast.
They sound as if they were bittter they couldn't score Flash (the movie) and made a career out of it.
I know they were a thing long before Flash.
It's not all lost, but the ones i liked i couldn't pick out.
Sorry ELOers, not for me.
This mid eighties production and recording style is very jarring to my taste.
The album has a lot of mid covers, mid production, some hits, but really don't understand why this album is essential in any way to experience.
Tina is a legend and i'm not familiar with her full discography, but i'm looking forward to listening to something much better than this.
Ghostface is my favorite WuTang member individual discography. GZA might have the best album in Liquid Swords, but GFK is all over Wutang's and everyone elses best tracks.
This might be my 2nd favorite of his, after Supreme Clientele of course.
The production is pretty consistent even though there's so many contributers, I recognized Dilla and DOOM, and great to know Pete Rock hands in a couple.
The skits as usual are pretty distracting, but the highs are pretty high.
If it were a little more concise it would be perfect.
My favorite tracks are 9 Milli Bros, Ragu, Jellyfish and Three Bricks.
Honorable mention the Biggie, Ice Cube and Ne-Yo features.
As much as i've tried throughout my life, I just can't get into REM.
Don't get me wrong, they're legends and I love many of their songs, but none of their albums have kept my interest enough to listen back, except this one.
Maybe it's their youthful demeanor since it's their debut, or it may just be my preferance for post-punk which they mostly resemble on their early stuff.
I'll be generous and give them a higher rating because i like this much better than their next more famous albums.
Concrete jungle Jungle JUNGLE
I love this album. I've never studied Bob Marley's life enough to understand how was he able to pivot to such a cohesive style that defined his carrer down the path that this album took him on.
Kinky Reggae, the opener and No More Trouble are some of my top top Marley songs.
It's the only album IMO that compares in quality with Exodus, this is a 4.49 stars.
The grungy postpunky aspects of this album weren't appealing enough for me.
There's some interesting aspects, but i'm rather turned away by most of the production and recording of the album.
Sounds very standard 90s alternative alternative, not enough to repeat.
I grew up during the grunge-postgrunge era and wasnt familiar with Hole until Celebrity Skin, which was a hit, but got overplayed very quickly.
Only heard the singles from this album over the years and listened to it for the first time now.
This much better than I expected. It reminds me more of the Pixies than other grungy counter parts.
Jennifer's Body is great, Doll Parts is a classic, Credit in the Staright World is fun, starts hard, ends hard.
Might have to revisit other Hole albums to find anything i missed throughout the years.
Never been a metal head. I'm the normiest of normies. Basically just like Metallica and Tool.
Having said that, I can see why they were on the heights of the greats of the 80s.
Great and catchy thrash songs, great heavy slow songs, a little bit of everything, and loved the closer.
Curious to listen to more of the Maiden.
One of the most forward thinking albums ever.
George, Bernie, Bootsy, Maceo = Geniuses
Give up the funk is one of my favorite songs ever, flanked by an albums worth of exploration and curiosity in the soul and funk outer space.
If the album was slightly longer with an additional banger it would be a perfect album, maybe the closer.
One was the song that got me introduced to Metallica through MTV in the mid 90s.
I didn't like them at first, but they grew on me with Load and Reload.
Then I realized the error of my ways when I listened to their 80s discography, those are the only truly great albums.
The thrash songs in Justice aren't as catchy or memorable as KTA or Puppets, i preffer the straight metal ones.
The first half is great and from the second I only really like Harvester of Sorrow. The rest not at all.
If it ended stronger i'd rate higher.
