I like this album better than the last Steely Dan. Not a huge fan of yacht rock.

The only beck album I owned back in the day was odelay. This one is pretty chill. Not my style but I wouldn't turn it off.

I think I could listen to this album over and over again. In fact I find myself revisiting it again today for a second listen. Karma police was everywhere when I was 15. That video. Electioneering is probably my favorite of the album. 5 stars no skips. I wish I had jumped on the bandwagon with my friends back in the 90's. Would love to see these guys live.

I used to enjoy Calexico when they were on mountain stage. Haven't listened to a full album though. I liked the horns in across the wire. I liked the album, not loved. I kind of lump it in with southern rock like Wilco and Drive by Truckers.

I didn't like the first half of this album, stopped listening after track 5, skipped through to make sure I didn't miss anything and went back to my day. Beautiful day annoys me. What the hell is New York?

Liked it a lot.

Never been a Morrissey fan. I liked this album. He's a tool.

My Generation...It's so good.

I liked it.

A few of the songs remind me of Jim James solo work. It's not really my cup of tea. Not horrible.

I knew the first song. The album is ok, wouldn't change the radio if anyone of these songs came on. My recall of these guys is Personal Jesus, so... I'm probably good not listening to this album again.

Nope.

All skips except Suspended in Gaffa. I can't explain it.

Boring.

I really liked this one. It's not something I'd seek out on my own and the songs did kind of blend together, but I'm drawn to her voice and the softness of her songs.

Ooff what a difference from the last album we got. I'm here for it though.

I love REM and this entire album. Get Up and You are the Everything are my favorites. I put on the 25th anniversary deluxe edition for this one, which might be cheating but I needed a REM day.

This album got me thinking, I wonder how many songs with Funky Drummer samples made this list? Note to self I need to check out more MC Ren and The D.O.C.. Dr. Dre and Ice Cube are the only alum I really listened to, I was only 7 when this came out so the album never really made it into my rotation. The Beastie samples on 8-ball are cool. And now I'm down a rabbit hole on rap/Beastie samples. I love how each artist is featured in their prime. I hate the misogynistic lyrics and there's a couple songs I would skip on future listens but over all I really enjoyed this album. Fuck tha police is, unfortunately, still relevant today.

When this came out I remember thinking "this is really cool". But..i never felt the need to listen beyond the radio singles and I don't think I missed much. It's weird to think they were the aughts. A lot of it blends together. Still a 4.. the singles were the hits for a reason.

When this popped up I was like who is this guy. I definitely recognized a few songs and of course the lime in the coconut earworm which I will be singing all weekend. TIL Nilsson wrote the Camp Candy theme song and sang it with John Candy. I skipped around a bit but I'd be happy to put this on anytime.
