Pretty alright, some solid radio favorites but also the others stand on their own ok. The album has stood the test of time longer than I thought it would.
Despite the over-the-top, cheesy/corny/cringe, it's impossible not to love this album. A perfect masterpiece.
Great time!
A nice listen with a couple classic hits. Album as a whole is best for rainy Saturday mornings. That doesn't mean it's bad, it just means not every Saturday morning is a rainy one.
No thanks. Got bored.
Fun trip.
Woo hoo! But album as a whole, is just ok.
Classic, never gets old.
...in the right place. Great songs scattered about a mostly great album.
California Stars... Couldn't save the album from being kinda borin/depressing.
Iconic songs from an iconic voice. Every song on this album is someone's favorite song.
Eh, just ok, eventually my brain just tuned it out.
I had a good childhood, I heard this album a lot back then... But this album doesn't make me feel nostalgic, it just annoys me. Maybe that means something deeper about my childhood, or maybe it just means the Eagles are boring.
Started slow, turned into a fun 3... But then it saxed me up and by the time it got to The Funky Space Reincarnation, it was a definite 5. So much funking groove.
Melancholy garbage. I appreciate the song These Days (St. Vincent's version is top notch), but Nico was right, the strings and flutes make this album almost unlistenable.
Fun, wide variety of sounds.
Light reminiscing, all thing go.
Yawn
Punk yeah! That was fun!
Real groovy, kept me hooked the whole album, way better than expected. I can't believe I've never listened to this before.
Perfectly vulgar, had fun, would do again...
I still don't know if I love this or hate it, so I think it gets a 3... If I re-listened the vote might go up or down depending on the day and my mood, which I further think solidifies the need for this album to be a 3.
The rap I wasn't supposed to listen to as a kid, wasn't all that bad.
Just ok...lost interest halfway through.
I don't hate his voice, but this was my first time paying attention to everything else on this album, musically it's purdy good.
Eh, only giving three because of the reminiscing I did about Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2.
I want to rank this a 5, I was not unhappy with it, but I also know I have to be in the right mood to really enjoy this. Every song sounds similar, which again, isn't necessarily bad, but it's enough to not give it a 5.
Nostalgic feeling, now I want a lemonade or a cheap cold beer... Idk what that means, but it was a fun listen.
Yes, all good people should give this album a 5. Stanky bass, so many diverse sounds.
Incredible talent
Probably in my top 25 of all time. Classic.
Sounds like a spring Saturday morning cleaning the garage with my dad in the 90s.
Fun and jazzy, not too poppy, solid album.
I like jam bands, and though I've never been a flag carrying Allman Brothers Band fan, this album has me questioning why I haven't given them more time, thanks for letting me give them more time. It was fun.
A couple ok tunes, overall kinda boring.
This album started as a 1 or 2, but the tragedy really amped up in the middle and the stories were thrilling.
Despite my appreciation for Killing Moon, I did not enjoy this album.
Very well produced, some solid tunes, got a little bored by the end.
Even my kids enjoyed this album.
I appreciate a good drinking tune, but these were just meh.
Booooorrrring,... She has talent, but this listen couldn't end fast enough.
I wanted to like this more, it was good but not great.
It started fun, still wanted more from it.
Really really great. 10x better than all the AI lofi hip hop channels and videos on YouTube.
This album seems particularly fitting for the crazy year of 2026 and world events going on currently.
Classic rock sounds, not the biggest fan of Rod's voice, but the rest of the talent here makes up for it.
Vanilla, over-produced, lifeless, boring, gross.... were the first words that came to mind...
Nasty! In the best way possible. Loved it.
There's something good to find in nearly every track on this album. So good.
Ahead of its time does not always equal good or foundational.
Fun, but not exceptional.
I like the blues and I like BB, but the songs and the album as a whole were just too short. It was just a blues appetizers...
First impression was obviously pretty low, but I embraced the weirdness factor and landed on a shakey 3/5... But then I reminded myself about active listening and eventually that led me to bump it up to a 4. It not just weird for weirdness sake, there's some real substance throughout the album. If the Flaming Lips had stuck to blues rock, this is what they would have sounded like. It also reminded me quite a bit of various Jack White productions.
Simultaneously everything I love and hate about most music from the 80's. The fact that it can exist in both planes with equal abundance in my mushy grey brainz means it gets a 4/5, though I'm tempted to give it a 5/5 because of that reason alone. F$&@ it, it's getting a 5 for being the actual definition of antithesis.
Contemplative and serious but also silly and fun. Solid listen.
Lots of nostalgia for me for this album. Some big hits for sure, I had assumed it would get a 5, but after listening I'm ok with it getting a 4.
Some really great tunes on this one, but I thought the album as a whole would be better. It's ok, not excellent.
I can appreciate the talent, the stories, and the beats. There were some high points but also some low/boring points for me. Probably won't listen to it again, but I'm glad I took the time to listen to it all the way through.
Ehhhhhh, wanted to appreciate it more than I did.
I can almost piece together what I think she was going for with this album... And there were a few surprising moments where it almost worked... But I think she failed miserably with this one. 20 Dollar stood out more than the infamous Paper Planes (which also doesn't fly quite right), but only enough for a 2.
Tacky, like the sheets in the honeymoon suite at a roadside motel somewhere in the middle of nowhere Nebraska.
This is not hip hop, this is not world music, this is a boring white dude who suddenly discovered that black people make great music and he wanted to steal some of their pie. This is the first album on this list that I can say with 100% certainty was an actual waste of time and did not need to be listened to by me before my eventual passing. Give the actual musicians some credit, but this "album" is def a 0.
Amazing! This came out the same year as Ziggy Stardust, and I might like this more. It also reminds me of a more gritty unpolished ELO. This album is what I was hoping to get out of going through this list. I had heard of T.Rex and a song or two but never given an entire album of theirs a real listen. I'm real glad I did, this was dope. I will be spinning it again.
Dreamy indie rock that really is all over the spectrum sound wise. Some songs reminded me of Buddy Holly, some reminded me of a gritty 90's garage rockers, yet others had me thinking about hippies. I could see myself listening to this more and having it really grow on me, like other albums in this genre have for me.
Music = passion = love... That's all you need. Sometimes you add a little guitar to help you out, sometimes a piano plink or two, if yer feeling feisty you might add some bass and drums or some well-timed repetition... But in the end, none of that matters, only the passion and love really matters and Elliot Smith had an abundant amount of both in every once of his music. It flowed out of him so naturally. I try not to be too stingy with my 5/5 ratings, but this is one of those albums that deserves 100 stars. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Ok! Some 90's blues rock, that'll work for today! Ok, the production is good, I wonder when the album will start to shine... Ok... I'm still waiting... This is so vanilla milk toast...
The instrumental tracks were about the only thing that actually stood out to me... The rest of it all floated away during my dull Saturday morning walk. The lyrics were blah, the voice was ok sometimes, but not really. All in all, it was just Ok.
Raw. This could get almost anybody into punk, if they weren't already. If you're reading this thinking, "yeah whatever," you're probably part of the problem. This is fucking incredible.
Was looking forward to this one, as it's been a minute since I've listened to it. Assumed a 5, but landed on a 4. Not as epic as I remembered throughout the album.
First Foo Fighters album I've listened to all the way through. Pretty good. Raw energy from Dave. The album bopped along just fine, but not a lot of wow factor for me. Maybe it depends on the day, or maybe it's just ok. I'll give it a 4 anyways.
Trippy AF 60's nugget. Really fun, politics of it seem timely again.
Reminiscing about my awkward teenage development years is... well, awkward, but this album cover was influential during that time... the music, however, was not... and still isn't. There's potential, but it's not realized, kind of like my development during those years, lol.
There are some undeniable classics on here. All the musicians are great, but I still don't really enjoy Young's voice all the time.
Ooof, I actually liked it for a little while, but then realized it was mostly just distraction free background music, but then realized how long the album was, but then realized how repetitive the album was, but then....
Classic. Rock. Mostly enjoyable, with a little filler sprinkled in. Other TP albums are better than this one, as a whole.
Orion actually made me stop doing what I was doing, which was not really Listening to the album... But that's only enough to bring it up to a 3 for me. I understand that this album is important to others, but it just doesn't do it for me. I can only Listen to a couple Metallica songs before I get bored. Oh and I should probably use the word douche canoe in here somewhere... Because of the Napster drama and all.
You know that feeling you get when you look back at pictures of yourself during that awkward development phase of middle school and think, "wow, look at that awkward nerd, how embarrassing..." That's this album. Nu Metal from this time can be good, but this is not, it's forever stuck in that awkward development stage, and anyone who likes this beyond any nostalgic recollection of those times should be embarrassed.
If there's anything the world could use more of in the year 2026, it's girl punk with some sax. How has this never floated across my radar?
Whenever I just don't know what to do with myself, I know this album will be there for me. Even in the cold cold night, I know this album will be there for me. Isn't it comforting knowing you've got her in your pocket?Jolly good.
Nope, nothing really stood out to me with this one.
It's got a lot of elements I like, but man, it's still that 80's sound that hits me weird sometimes. Started listening to the album as some background music during while getting ready for the day. Halfway through I put on headphones and i did like it a little more... But not enough to give it more than a three.
I grew up listening to a A LOT of classic rock... My dad's fault. I learned to appreciate most of it. But, as my dad already knows, I'll be giving this album a 1. Despite it being loaded with "hits," I just can't stand David Lee Roth's voice and the whole Van Halen vibe has always felt off to me.
I'm not an expert in Bob Dylan's catalog, but this seems like a pretty good collection of Dylan songs. I enjoyed this one more than I thought I would.
Good stuff, glad I gave this time to listen all the way through, I should probably listen to it again.
Way better than I anticipated all the way through.
Trippy dippy sunshine
Quintessential jazz, what's not to like?
Just ok. Might like deja vu better??? Wanted to like this one better. Maybe I just listened to it on the wrong day?
Uh huh! Time travel music.
I was ready to give this a 5, especially because of Novacaine. Just the right amount of 90s melancholy. But by the end of the album it felt a bit "sputtered out."
I like some of the sounds, but the album as a whole sucks. "Just because you can doesn't mean you should" kept popping in my head through this listen. I won't be taking this train again...
Not bad... But kind of droned on and on by the end... I wonder if she ever crested that hill? Stranger things have happened, they say...
Fun trip! I'd be okay with more of this coming up on my shuffle occasionally.
That was kind of a middle of the road 90' rock album that I started losing interest in, but then the last two tracks got me hooked back in... Because of that experience I'll give it a 4, though my gut says I should still give it a 3.... Nah, trust the gut! 3!
So dreamy! It makes me appreciate Beach House even more.
Too country... Yet not country enough... I can appreciate the talent, but just can't get into the music.
Great jazz, reminiscing on my high school jazz band years.
That was a lot of fun.
An opus for sure... With some real bright spots, but much of it was just ok and maybe could have been cut from the final product. I'm free!
That was a good Saturday morning sipping coffee listen, but it's too close to U2... I hate U2.
Ok... like, whatever
I won't pretend that I didn't just start appreciating the pretenders a couple years ago. Listening to this all the way through solidified it, I don't just appreciate it, I love it.
I really enjoyed this. I wish some of the tracks were longer... I also wish some of the tracks didn't feel like I was sitting in the waiting room at the dentist. The songs Bound to Fall and The Treasure stood out to me.
Perfect rock-'n'-roll, but I may be biased having been raised near the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake, Iowa. How can anyone not like this stuff. Play this at you're next backyard bbq, everyone will come around to it.
So good. Cleveland rocks!
Hard to listen to on a road trip with napping kids... But still fun
Great jazz, but more background scene than active listening. I want to give it a 5, but giving a 4 since it wasn't earth-shattering.
That high pitch audience cheering only adds to the greatness of this album.
My younger self would hate me for rating this so high, but dang it's good.
This banged more than I thought it would bang. Also, I married a flutist. I almost want to give it 5 stars... But might knock it down to 4....
Nope nope nope nope nope nope nope ❌❌❌ I told myself I would give every album on this list a fair shake and listen to it all the way through, no matter what. I guess I lied to myself. Sorry self, but I refuse to listen to this one. If I had the power to rewrite history I would take an eraser to this albums existence.
Not horrible, but very 80s pop sound, which wasn't hitting well for me today.
Perfect album, could listen to on repeat for just about forever.
90s girls rule!
Remember those others 80's albums that I didn't shit on despite the younger version of myself generally hating "that 80's" sound. This album pretty much defines that sound and it turns out I do still hate it. The ultra-produced pop that has no genuine feeling at all... It just feels like it's trying WAY too hard. Occasionally the bass line stands out as interesting but that might just be me trying too hard to find something consumable in this ultra-processed wasteland.
I like Bowie, but this album was kind of boring for me today, even with the couple of radio hits. Fame is an incredible song, but not quite enough for me to boost the album up to 4...
Liked this a lot when it came out... But fuck Kanye.
Nah... Kinda boring
That was fun, especially Stepping Stone.
Really great album, it drips with inspiration. And the production on it is fantastic.
Nothing really memerable on here... I can appreciate aspects, but not the whole.
What a great mix of sounds. It doesn't sound overly 90's either. Thankful for getting exposure to this and i will listen to it again, but not quite enough oomph to rate it a 5.
Perfect purple precipitation. Pelvic pulsing perfection. I could go on, but it'll only get worse... I'll stop for your sake.
I can appreciate this, but I have to be in the right mood for it.
Art doesn't have to be bombastic to be good. It can be like this album, just pure and simple and easy, yet full of life and love and feeling.
Fuzz fuzz fuzz fuzz fuzz fuzz Fuzz fuzz fuzz. I still don't fully get it some days.
Real great, too short. Forgot how sick hazy shade of winter is. And save the life of my child was AMAZING!
Welp... Once again, I can appreciate aspects of the talent strewn about this work, but the collective is just ok. I won't be offended if a song or two comes up on shuffle or are a part of the background of my day, but I won't be seeking this one out to experience or dissect again.
That was really great, now I want to listen to some Orville Peck.
On today's edition of "So, you want to start a classic rock radio station!" we examine a quintessential masterpiece. Nearly every song on this album is a radio hit and even the ones that aren't are pretty interesting. The synths aren't just there, they dominate, in a good way.
This is gross. The synth has no life. The singing is boring.
It's just not like the real thing....
It's filled with childish angst and ambivalence, that occasionally blossoms into brilliance, but sometimes it just falls flat on its face.
I'm tryin... But I just don't fully understand... despite my disdain for the 5-0.
Somehow Prince thrived in this awkward time in music in the 80's where a significant amount of music with synth was just boring, repetitive, and gross. He/the Revolution we're just so good... Or , maybe I was just dreaming when I wrote this........
Insert "The More You Know" gif here... I really enjoyed that introduction to this style. Thank you list gods.
Yes, sometimes yelling "ain't nobody dope as me" is required while showering... But with all due respect to Ms. Jackson, this album isn't solid all the way through. Definitely some shining moments, but also some just ok moments.
Very interesting arrangements, the voice was sometimes intriguing and sometimes abrasive. I won't be coming back to this but I don't regret listening.
His voice demands to be listened to, but the album as a whole was a bit boring.
Sad sad sad demos with an occasional glimmer of something almost interesting, but not enough to redeem it.
I'll show you my organ...
It started off like a hazy disco dream (def not "jazz") but it ended as torturous Muzak that plays in the broken elevator you've now been stuck in for several hours.
I'm just not cool enough for this...
Don't lose that number or this album, what a great sound all throughout.
An absolute delight from beginning to end, so many fun sounds.
90's gurls rock rocks
If I were to rock until I drop, I would need this album to stop stop. Cheesy 80's gross rock... Sorry dad.
Holy shit! That was a wildly fantastic ride. I'm glad I listened to most of it before reading other reviews. But dang all those positive reviews are spot on, this album is all over the place in such a good way, quite a delicious genre-bending snack. I'll be keeping this one accessible in my library. Wowsers!
Not bad, not great, pretty easy 3... Sometimes the scream works, sometimes it doesn't.
Can't say I fell in love with this when it came out, but I appreciate it a lot more now. Also, Heads Will Roll is an all-time classic. I also found myself liking Skeletons a lot.
Nah, I'll take raspberry preserves over this any day, or even a mediocre jam band over this.
You can't fake passion. Also, can you smell the champagne and cigarettes?
Unhinged weirdo jazz rock with great horns and flutes... SIGN ME UP! This is so awesome!
Saw them as a wee lad at the Iowa State Fair... They left quite an impression and probably set me up for future music appreciation. As much as I reminisce and appreciate, I can't say that the ALBUM as a whole is worth a 5, so I'll give it a 4.
Pretty ok for a Bob Dylan album...
Yes!!! This album checks so many boxes. You can actively listen/analyze, you can sing along to the pop parts, or you can tune out and let your mind wander until you're lost in the flowers of it all. My Girls is an important song for me and my family and never gets old. Summertime Clothes is constantly playing in my weirdo head, "I want to walk around with you". While I personally prefer Strawberry Jam, there's not a damn thing wrong with MPP. Naysayers here should give this one another chance.
Now I know where a couple WTMD samples came from! I appreciate this hard working man, but this live record is just ok.
I love weirdo shit! Tom Waits keeps getting paid so he must be doing something right. I've never met a Tom Waits super fan... I bet they are either really fun or absolutely miserable.
