Rated 4/10
This was an interesting, low-energy album. Apple mentioned that Bowie produced it and in some ways I can see that. It was overall unremarkable and boring for me.

Rated 4/10
A classic band I've never listened to before. It definitely sounded to me like 70s rock, understated, but with its own style (I particularly enjoyed the horns).
Rated 8/10
Really enjoyed this! Very much in the vein of alternative that I enjoy, catchy and poppy but also having a unique sound that I enjoy.
Rated 6/10
I've never really listened to Prince, despite knowing lots of people love his music. This is funky and fun, but did sound like was mixed in the 80s. I'd probably enjoy it more with a heavier focus on the instruments.
Rated 10/10
Nobody like Michael Jackson. Catchy and his vocal style is unmatched.
Rated 4/10
This does sound like the 70s to me, in that the musicality is quiet, subdued, and smooth. I prefer louder and more raw and did not enjoy this.
Rated 4/10
Apple describes this as "no-nonsense" and I think that's about right. I found it uninteresting but inoffensive.
Rated 6/10
Fun 80s rock. I think it blended the pop-metal styles of the time with some great beats to make an enjoyable record.
Rated 8/10
A classic followup to Nevermind which made their sound a little more raw. I experienced this through the singles until a few years ago, when I finally listened to the whole thing. So it's hard to stand up to Nevermind which I listened to repeatedly for a long time, but I really appreciate the authenticity of the sound.
Rated 6/10
It's not quite my style but is still fun to listen to.
Music and melody was very simplistic, so I found it pretty boring. Definitely more western than what I’m used to as country.
Rated 4/10
Not a huge fan of punk music, it's pretty same-y. I'm not sure about the punk scene as of 1977 but this felt more modern to me.
Rated 4/10
I'm not a huge Oasis fan. It's certainly a classic but doesn't really hit for me.
Rated 8/10
Chris Cornell, what a voice. I'm really glad he ended up here and not in a glam metal band.
Rated 6/10
Fantastic old-school hip-hop. Just a lot of fun.
Very ahead of its time! This would have blown my mind at the time.
Rated 6/10
Narrative pop music, pretty interesting
Rated 6/10
Like a progressive/jazz jam band. I'm intrigued and enjoyed it but probably wouldn't really listen to it much.
Rated 8/10
Like a more accessible version of meandering 70s prog-rock. I enjoyed it—if I had found this 20 years ago when I was into prog-rock I might have really enjoyed it.
Rated 4/10
Sounds like Jack White but less rock-y than I expected. Overall it's fine to listen to but nothing special.
