Yeah, I mean, not super exciting. The songs that they covered ARE real good songs, but there's nothing really original added to it. I think you can sense the Stones sound in this one a little, but this did not really deserve an entry. If we're looking at like significance, sure, but this is not something everyone should hear. It's okay, but the originals are waaaay better. Low 3

I liked this one of course. My expectations were incredibly high, and sadly i was not blown away, but it is as good as their other entries in the book.
Not a fan of the mix, but learning how it was recorded, I can see why it sounds like this. Love it's influence, and i had lots of fun with it. Might have to pick it up on vinyl later. Solid 4

I knew this was gonna be amazing, and it reeeally was. It's the exact punk (post-punk?) that I love. Non-stop action and incredible guitar sounds, especially for the time. Loved everything about it. Probably a more fitting 4, but I just don't have anything bad to say about it, so it's a 5 for me.

Wasnt bad at all, but nowhere near any grunge bands a little later. Or hardcore punk bands also a little later. Fun tracks, just a little weak. Solid 3

It is a little barebones by today's standards, and i think some years later, some other groups perfected this sound even better, but their influence can not be understated. That is for sure. I'm gonna give it a stroooong 3, but not a 4 sadly.

Well here we go... Yeah, this is why i really don't like 2000s hiphop. Look, I'm sure 50 was very influential with this sound. He probably wasn't the first one, but he definitely influenced this direction that hiphop went in during the 2000s. Sooo I really can't rate it high. It sounds cheap, the producition is subpar to the 90s 2010s and even the 80s for that matter. If it wasn't for the hits, I'd definitely rate it a 2.

This is right up my alley. Had so much fun with this. I'll probably revisit it often. It kinda sounds like a lot of others in the 90s, but it's also kind of ahead of the sound a little bit.

Maybe it's not at the level of Nevermind, khm khm Spin magazine....
Still, strong 4

Way too long. Have to revisit sometime

few good songs but mostly unremarkable

Groovyy, but i dont really vibe with his voice and this is just kinda meh. Low 3

I might like Carrie and Lowell a little better, but god this maaan. playing the most playful childlike melodies known to man, and then talking about the pov of a serial killer. Or the guy takes you through a beautiful memory of a girl, and then boom, she died. I turn off my ability to understand english sometimes when listening to him. He’s a brilliant musician, and I’m glad AT LEAST this is on the list. Low 5

This was pretty damn amazing. Reminded me a lot of Tracy Chapman. Want to revisit abd maybe check out her other stuff

Well, i always kinda wanna hate on solo Morrissey stuff, but this wasnt too bad either. Not smiths at all, but pretty enjoyable

I think there are still some covers here, but loved the energy

not a bad time

The production is mindblowing, the actual substance of the record is weak in comparison. Mid 3

Yeah, you know you could throw out most of white people music in the 60s, even 70s if somebody dug deep enough in any artist's history. Not trying to justify what he did at all, fuck the guy, but I do believe we can disconnect the art from the artist to some extent.

So keeping that in mind, they do sound like some other bands in the 60s, but I think this album of theirs can stand toe-to-toe with some early Beatles records and Beach Boys joints. I think this with it's 35 minutes is a non-stop banger after banger. It's crazy how there are no real skips on a record from 1966. It is one dimensional by today's standards, but it's just perfect for what it is. Tempted to give it a lower score, because of John, but I loved the record and it's sound. So it is a 5 for me.

Was a pretty good jazz album. Didnt strike me as deep as some other on the list, but definitely a good time

This is a pretty colorful record. I now know another Chitown rapper finally. Liked most of the beats, and didnt sound like just another badly mixed 2000s record. I had lots of fun with this one

It is kind of background music. I’m a little underwhelmed, but honestly, I might listen to this while studying some time. Mid 3
