Very Upbeat and big horns. Rather than bluesy. I like a more mellow, slow blues with wistful guitars. Too upbeat. 2.5 out of 5
Better than I remember. Robert Smith is a little too moody emo, whiney. But i thought the music was good and thumpy. 4 out of 5
Watermelon man was cool, but otherwise it was a bit too out there for me. Too jazzy. Too funky. If it was toned down, I would like it more.
This album rocks. very enjoyable. different styles. good vocals. new instruments. 5 out of 5
Decent album. Some toe tapping songs. 3.5 out of 5
The covers are great. The beats and music are great. The lyrics feel confrontational and harsh, not pleasure to listen to. 3 out of 5
Enjoyable garage rock. I don't like the lead singers voice. Like Lemmy's voice. But when he is hitting that fast, rougher songs, it works. Overall good album. 4 out 5.
Fantastic album. The guitar solo in St. Elmos fire. 5 out of 5
Too improvisational. Too disjointed. Too raw. I can't get into it after multiple listenings. Maybe there is something here for jazz nuts, but it's not very approachable at all. 1 out of 5.
Hard to listen to as even as the a most casual music listener, some of these songs have been overplayed. Still her voice is great, the songs are well written and let her shine. Good album. 4 out of 5.
When it is good, it is really good. when it is weird, it is really weird. Feels so theatrical. I like her voice and more "normal" songs, but she gets too out there a lot of the time. 3 out of 5
Great album. Weird, but so good. Best listened as an album. 5 out of 5
The first half is amazing. Second half not so much, but that first half makes up for it. Great album. 5 out of 5
Too poppy. Not punky or new wave. Maybe just fast pop rock. Alison is good, but that's the slowest song on the album. Otherwise feels like it tries too hard. 2 out of 5.
The best. The hits are mega hits. The songs you consider not hits are great and by the end of those you say to yourself - that was a really great song. Then a mega hit song comes on and you are floored. 5 out of 5.
Cool album. Kinda Cure-ish with more computer drums and a deeper singer. Liked it. Felt like it could be more club music focused. 4 out of 5.
Walk on by is a great song. All the songs are wonderful. 5 out of 5.
Like a Rolling Stone is a classic. I just can't get over Bob Dylan's voice. 2 out of 5.
I knew most of the songs even though I never owned it. A little over produced in spots but overall very impressive. 4.5 out of 5
Too Bob Dylan-ish in terms of singing style. I wish it had more of a band than just a guitar for most of the songs. But Diamonds in The Mine and Joan of Arc were rather good. 3 out of 5
Fantastic album. Listenable bluesy hard rock. Lagrange is a perfect song. 5 out of 5.
Fantastic album. Bluesy - heavy - fast - slow. Just awesome songs. If you told someone that has never heard of LZ this was a best of album, they would believe you. At least 5 all-time great songs on one album. Fantastic in every aspect. 5 out of 5.
The samples were too much. When those mellowed out, it was listenable but otherwise was just annoying. The flute song kilo was good.
Interesting album. It does get hypnotic at times. But is it something I enjoyed and wanted to relisten to? Not really. Might make good work music. 3 out of 5.
I knew I liked this song going into this, but really its just a fantastic album. Its got a simple production, but by the end of certain songs, that song feels so big. I'll be humming to these songs for the rest of the day. 5 out of 5.
It had variety. From disco, to soul, to new wave. But none of the songs grabbed me. Not bad, but not intriguing. 3 out of 5.
This album feels like you had to experience it in real time to appreciate it. Computerized drum beats, while novel at the time, feel cheap now. It got that hypnotic vibe but if you play a 5+ minute long drum beat with female vocal, I think it's just a matter of construction. The weird ocean song was different. It wasn't bad but not something I will revisit. 2 out of 5.
All time great album. I love Neil's clawhammer styler guitar. So powerful. The songs and lyrics hold up. 5 out of 5.
He has a good voice. "Because of the wind" and "West Texas Waltz" were good. Most felt like routine county songs. 3 out of 5.
"Making Plans" was good. Nothing great here for me. I think I rather listen to eaches solo, more pop focused records. I suppose if you are a fan of each artist, then getting them on one album would be exciting. 3 out of 5
Solid all around album. Some excellent songs that will stand the test of time. Something about it never 100% clicks for me, but I enjoyed it. 4 out of 5.
Enjoyable, as I like all of Steely Dan's albums, but it does not have a killer song. I enjoyed the different styles and odd lyrics. It's a nice 70's rock change of pace. 4 out of 5.
More industrial metal than grunge, at least more than I expected. But good songs, good voice. Overall good listen. 4 out of 5.
Sounded like Sergio Leone, brit-pop and Nancy Sinatra were put into a blender. It didn't work great for me but it was interesting. 3 out of 5.
Some of the first half hits good. The second half is too experimental, Brian. Eno. But it does get better upon multiple listening. 3.5 out of 5.
I enjoyed the mix of piano, rock, bob dylan-style. Very enjoyable. 4 out of 5.
Interesting album. Flutes is a very good song. Took a couple listens to get into. 4 out of 5.
Karen has a beautiful voice. All of the songs are very shmaltzy, but very earnest. I think as auto-tune, AI, electronically arranged music becomes the norm, this album and the Carpenters will only age better. Enjoyable on the AM drive type music. 4 out of 5.
Pretty good album. First half is definitely stronger than the second half. Nothing wrong with it overall and very listenable. 4 out of 5.
It sounds very 90's and dates. He has a good voice but this felt like you had to be there to enjoy it in real time. 2.5 of out 5.
I wanna be your dog was excellent but the rest of the album feels like high school garage rock. 2 out of 5
Fantastic. It's Led Zeppelin. 5 out of 5.
Fun album. Really want to give this another listen soon. 4 out of 5.
Too drone-ny for me. I need some variance in my songs. Give me a guitar riff, a bridge, a tempo change. Just felt very samesy within each song. Not bad but too one dimensional. 2.5 out of 5.
Too shoegaze-y, too wall of sound-ish. Didn't do much for me. 2 out of 5
Very tender, very sentimental, but quietly enjoyable. I like his voice, the production, the songs. 4 out of 5
Paper Planes is excellent but the rest of this feels too disjointed, too sampled.
Not my usual listen but I had fun with this. 3.5 out of 5
A fun album with cheeky humor and a lot going on, but didn't connect. 3 out of 5
It never got my interest but it was at least listenable punk. Felt like they would be fun live. 3 out of 5.
I liked it, but it felt too 'casio' keyboard and the sparsh production makes all the sounds stand out as cheap. I wish it was crunchier. I listened to some club remixes afterwards and liked those more. That said, it's my type of music and was enjoyable. 4 out of 5.
Enjoyable beach boys. I enjoy the harmonies and production. Very lush. Some of the song lyrics/subjects are just weird. 4 out of 5.
Very good album. Couple bangers but I can't consider it great top to bottom. But worthwhile listen and good sound.
Too folksy, too 60's. His voice get weirdly feminine in some songs. The song about 'her chamber' was cringy. 2 out of 5
It's pretty good country. I enjoyed his voice. I didn't connect with it, but it was a nice listen. 3 out of 5
Excellent album. Not my jam(min) but enjoyable listen top to bottom. 4 out of 5
Bluesy Rolling Stone, which should be up my alley, but none of the songs captured my attention. 3 out of 5.
As I go through this, I am learning I just don't care for jazz as much as I thought I did. Feels like elevator music. 2 out of 5.
Excellent album. Enjoyed it all. Bluesy and fun
Excellent album. 5 out of 5.
Fun album. More punk than I expected. 4 out of 5
It's okay. I like the idea but none of the songs ever grabbed me. 3 out of 5
Good first half. Some bangers. But second half drags. 4 out of 5.
Pretty good. Needs a relisten. 3.5 out of 5
Woof! Unlistenable. 1 out of 5.
Good listen. Good songs. Likes the songs where it was like a melody of a few songs put together. 4 out of 5.
Very disco-y. First two songs are classics. Seems to fade off on second half. 3 out of 5.
Interesting style. I enjoyed it. 4 out of 5
Well made, I like the king fu movie snippets. Just not my thing overall. 2.5 out of 5.
Took two listens buts its a fun album. 3.5 out of 5
Better than some of the earlier 90's UK electronica by a long shot. Enjoyable rythems. 4 out of 5
Nice ambiance. Nothing too annoying. Just relaxing with some interesting beats. 4 out of 5
I was expecting more Stooges type songs but was pleasantly surprised how clean and controlled it was. For early punk, its a 4 out of 5. For my listening pleasure overall, it's a 3 out of 5.
Really fun album. I think better than his Zombie album. The drum solo is fun for about 10 minutes, but drags on the last 10 minutes. 4.5 out of 5.
If Brian Eno, Broadway, and sad lyrics were put into a blender. 2 out of 5.
Nothing bad. Felt very Kraftwork-esque but it was fine. 3 out of 5.
Very bluesy. Good energy. Fun album
Woof. I want to like Sonic Youth but it's too disjointed. No melody. Just feels like I am hearing someone fiddle around on the guitar for an hour in a cave. 1.5 out of 5.
Not bad. Felt like more country Bob Dylan. 3 out of 5.
An all time favorite. It's funky, it's britpop, it's snearing, it is thoughtful. Awesome album. 5 out of 5
Fun album. Some bangers. Overall enjoyable. 4 out of 5
Interesting style. I enjoyed the theme and lyrics. 4 out of 5
Meh. Never went much for The Stones Country twang. Sympathy for the Devil gets annoying after two minutes. Some decent stuff on here but nothing captivating. 2.5 out of 5
Unique but not my flavor. The extended album had to three live songs that were the strongest of the album but those are not part of the original release. 2 out of 5.
Poorly aged 90's electro-pop
Too experimental. Not offensively so but not my jam
Feels like generic early 70's metal but the second half is strong and while the flute was always joked about in pop culture, it ended up being my favorite element. The second half is strong. Especially Wind-up. 3 out of 5
Odd voice. Liked side two better not otherwise nothing here did it for me. 3 out of 5.
Liked this. Felt 90's college radio. 4 out of 5
Lunch was a great song. The rest didn't care for either way. Her wispier singing on the first song annoyed me. 3 out of 5
Occasionally there are good moments but it just felts like weird art schoolusic that tries to be quirky for its own sake. 2 out of 5
Good album. Very sad. She has a great voice. 4 out of 5.
Pretty mediocre 60's psychodelic music but the titular song is actually pretty impressive. I've never listened to the uncut version. 3 out of 5
Excellent album that holds up and still sounds unique. 4 out of 5
Too angry. I liked the beats, but not my style. 2 out of 5.
I didn't like the psychedelic 60's stuff but as it got going, I felt more Chicago blue and Jimi Hendrix influences. 3 out of 5
Some of the best song by The Band. Felt like a greatest hits. So good. 5 out of 5
Felt very Carole King-esque. Not terrible but an older song style that I didn't connect with. 2.5 out of 5
Enjoyed this a lot. 4 out of 5
Better than the other Kinks album I listened to but still feels too art school for me. 3 out of 5.
