Slowly re rating this periodically. I love this album. Its so fun, every song is catchy
10/10
I love nearly every track, favs however: Welcome to the Working Week, Red Shoes, Mystery Dance
The hits hit... hard. The Working Hour and Broken I like in the context of the album, but I just can't get into Mothers Talk, I Believe, nor Listen. I Believe and Listen so much so that it takes me out from the rest of the album.
Very pleasant to listen to. Enough going on to keep my attention. Although, not typically into classical. 6/10
Took a while to get into it - always had that issue with Pink Floyd. 7/10
So energetic. Didn't know I liked live albums until this one. 10/10
Felt like something was was missing the whole time. Couldn't get through it all :(
7/10
Very pleasant to listen to, but not quite my cup of tea - only thing holding it back
8/10 - Really loved this album out of no where. Not something I traditionally listen to but the songs were so interesting and i felt like i was riding the wave. Second half of the album not as strong as the first however
Liked this a lot more than I thought I would. Felt a lot of personality in this album. Didn't care for crocodiles earlier in the experience, but this is much better - 7/10
Some of the bigger hits just feel so polished I find it hard to latch on to (Send My Love To Your New Lover, for example). But the songwriting is great and Adele has one of the best voices of our generation - 7/10
I generally don't like older music like this, but it was really good. Easy to swing your body to, great song writing. 8/10
6/10 - A warm reception from me. Pleasant to listen to, but I don't find myself saving or wanting to come back (for now). However, I loved the ending Eclipse; the build after a slower album is really nice. Ultimately, I found every song a little too samey, and everything blended together leaving me wanting more memorable moments
However, I could totally see myself coming back to this slowly over the years, i do believe it is very well made.
Not quite my cup of tea, mostly indifferent. 5/10
It was a tough listen first time through. Almost left it at that. But upon a second listen,,, I think there's something magical there. I haven't quite grabbed it, but from paying deeper attention to some of the lyrics in passing, i think there's something deeper here. Its not an easy listen however
6/10
I dont know if 1001 is wearing me out of Brit Rock (been getting a lot of this lately), but I found myself tired of listening to the album by the end of it.
Favorite tracks: Do The Strand, Strictly Confidential
6/10
On every listen I liked this album more and more. Its eerie, industrial, and very well made; I can hear the influence it's had for similarly sounding projects today (like FKA Twigs).
8/10
Fav Track - Machine Gun. Love the driving punchy beat
I really liked this album. Great production end-to-end
Fav Tracks: Be Thankful For What You've Got, Unfinished Sympathy
7/10
A good mix of familiar early 70s bowie and experimental bowie. Its a very interesting album, eerie and mysterious at points, jazzy, ethereal...
Fav Tracks: Speed of Life, Be My Wife
Sadly, didn't care too much for the back third of the album. It honestly seemed a little out of place compared to the first 2/3rds
Its fun. Catchy, they use the samples so well it feels like they're the originals lol. The only thing I don't like is that by the end, I'm a little worn out of their constant aggressiveness - but that's what this album is
Fav Tracks: No Sleep Till Brooklyn, Brass Monkey, Girls
7/10
Just awesome. This album goes hard, they rock hard. I'm not familiar with hair rock, so perhaps i'm more inclined into this album since its new to me. but really loved this album through to through
8/10
Fav Track: Child in Time
Really good. Nice flows
No real stand outs (im notoriously bad at hooking myself into older school rap), but all quality. 8/10
Wasn't the biggest fan. It has its moments (1 min mark of Easy is phenomenal), but overall wasn't able get into it
6/10
I was very presently surprised with how much I really enjoyed this album. Ive never been into metal, but loved every song
Reminds me of James blake and Perfume Genius. Honestly, I really liked this album, the whole album is very strong through and through. Phenomenal song writing and singing; it feels that every few minutes on this album everything just comes together into a lush explosion of sound
8/10
I really liked this! Not enough to call one of my favs, but I really enjoyed it. Its really catchy and goes hard - very energetic
Fav Track: F.I.N.E.
7/10
Love this album - Elton is such a great song writer. So many moments on this album are so orchestrially full and lush that it gives me goose bumps ("They'd turn a full-blooded city boy / into a full-blooded city man")
Fav Tracks: Levon, Tiny Dancer, Madman Across The Water

Didn't _dislike_ this, but didn't enjoy it. There weren't a lot of memorable points for me, I had a lukewarm reception to all the songs. Also didn't finish the album either time - it was too long :/

I liked this a lot more than i thought I would. Every song is well written, even the songs that were too slow for me, Marty's voice and songwriting pulls me in

Very pleasant to listen to, but ultimately not my cup of tea. I enjoyed the more upbeat tracks (Don't Tell Me Your Troubles, Bye Bye Love), but some of the songs reminded me of Christmas songs
