Actually a massive start for this long ass project. There are hardly any tracks I’d skip—it’s a really fun album. I didn't know about this before, but thanks to this project, I added “Walk on the Wild Side” and “Perfect Day” to my playlist right away.

This clearly dragged a bit in the middle cause it's weird and long, so it’s not as perfect as the critics say, but it’s still an outstanding album. “How Do You Sleep?” grew on me and Also “Oh Yoko!” is genuinely underrated.

Damn, so this‘s what we call a “no-skip album.” It’s got a solid structure and everything and it was way polished for a debut album. I really wish this masterpiece were the popular one instead of that AM one.

Tbh, even if someone told me this song has an irregular time signature, I’d just be like, “tf is that?” So I don’t know enough about music theory to even judge it myself, but one thing I can say for sure is that this is absolute masterpiece.

Since it’s country music, I wasn’t expecting much, but WOW, this is peak! The sound is so simple and raw, and that makes me feel this more personal like listening to an older unc blathering, more than reading a novel. This album is dry but also mellow.

A Short Review for Illinois, Which is a 10/10 Album, but for Very Good Reasons.
He’s a master of balance between stillness and movement—or his build-up play is simply genius. On top of that, it‘s pop , grandeur, and experimental at the same time. That’s no easy feat! Also, his voice is really gentle and makes me chill.
That's why this is one of my TOP 10 favorite albums of all time.

There’s a tons of information here, but it’s not so overwhelming that it breaks my brain, it’s just right enough. Plus, there aren’t any death growls which I don't like so much. The melodies and everything else are very easy on the ears, and it’s got a hype‼︎

This is a MUST-HEAR for anyone who wants to dive deeper into this genre, but not for everyone. It has high highs and low lows, but even though it’s their first try, I feel like they’ve managed to capture that unique bossa nova rhythm and melodies quite well.

I don't know how to explain, but it really has that '80s vibe, yet it also feels even more futuristic than that. Plus, even though it's super danceable, the sound has this kind of cold feel to it. But if the last song had been a normal length, it probably wouldn't have been “MUST HEAR” What the actuall fuck was that?

Peak Rolling Stones. There are both danceable, high-energy tracks and mellow, chill tracks. Some songs are pop, but some songs are experimental like “Can’t You Hear Me Knocking.” Even though this has such a wide variety, the album is well-balanced and very easy to listen to.

First off, I have to say—this guy is an goated singer. So while there’s nothing wrong with his vocal performance, the typical production of blues such as lack of chord changes just weren’t my thing. Maybe I’d like it better if it were a studio album.
Maybe this is the editor's favorite?

It's good, but it doesn't have that standout quality that makes it a must hear for everyone. It blends a '60s psychedelia and garage rock vibe with country elements—and even features a saxophone—yet it turns out incredibly simple and easy to listen to.

Man, this is just perfect. The whole album feels like a jazz show at a small live house on the outskirts of a mechanical city. The cold industrial beats and Beth Gibbons‘ ruthless yet graceful voice create an amazing chemical reaction. It still sounds super cool even now, but I bet people who heard it back in the day must have been blown away.

It’s absolutely deserving of being called a classic. Joel’s signature style “catchy yet emotional songwriting” is on full display, and there‘s no skips on the album. It’s strange how it feels so cohesive even though the tracklist mixes upbeat songs with more subdued ones.

As a debut album, I think it’s very easy to listen to and quite good, but I don’t think it’s aged well. Plus, the middle part was just boring. Still I really like the atmosphere of the first and last parts btw. They have a raw edge mixed in with the pop sound.

His vocals are less unique than The Smiths era, making them easier to listen to. He’s also taking on new challenges while incorporating the jungle-pop approach from his The Smiths era. It’s not bad at all, but I would like to listening to The Smiths than this, so not a MUST HEAR.

My review matched what everyone else is saying, but I think the specific songs I think it's good are completely different. Orchestral-style tracks like “There’s a World” always get not high ratings, but I absolutely love that type of music also i like when the sound is rich and full, so I rate them really highly. To sum it up, this is a CLASSIC.

It’s actually an experimental and fun album that tries to blend punk and reggae in a cool way. However, I know it can’t be helped but I’m not really into the rough quality of the recording tbh. So I was almost going to give it a “NEEDN’T HEAR” rating, but you know, “Message in a Bottle” carried this. That’s why I’m giving it a 70.

Everyone’s saying this album has been overplayed, and I agree with it. But even so, I think it’s a really fun album. Sure, it does have some slow spots in middle, but the rush of bangers at the beginning was cool.

It’s not better than I expect, but it’s still a really great album. This album incorporates a variety of elements—not just folk, but rock, jazz, psychedelia, and even gospel and world music—making an interesting sound. But it’s nice that it still includes her signature folk style.

Although the track list is just six songs, it’s a packed album, with half the tracks are over eight minutes. While funk is often danceable, this album features many progressive stuff, making for a refreshing listening experience. The drums are incredibly satisfying. It’s also cool that there are some danceable tracks as well.
