Honestly I think there is one memorable song on the record and the rest are forgettable, after listening to a couple of their albums I do not get the hype behind the police

A very interesting experience listening to this album, firstly didn’t realise this is where jackass got their theme song, secondly I thought I was going to hate this album when it started but it got more fun, but I feel that is the biggest downside of the album, there are more than enough really good song to have a short really strong album, but this album had so many moments of songs that I wanted to skip

Tried listening, wasn’t for me, it didn’t sound bad or anything but didn’t really capture me like other albums have

Rated 6/10

Quite an interesting album, the production is really good, very strong post punk feel

Such a great album, funny how in its time it garnered controversy from the folk crowd for being electric, but in doing so Dylan created the first great folk rock album (the byrds are not better than Dylan fight me), great writing and music, best song on the album imo is ballad of a thin man

Look it’s a good live album, but in saying that is it really worthy to be on this list, I don’t think so, unlike an earlier album I reviewed where the debut was a live performance, this is not that, and honestly should’ve been parked to allow other albums where people debuted original songs

Rated 8/10

A really good album that I can see many people giving a 5, for me some songs are a bit flat but overall a good listening experience

Really quite an unexpected listening experience in a good way, quite fun and some really great tunes, the main thing holding it back is that it can sound quite dated at times, but overall really good

Interesting album, I like the mix of genres and what they were trying to achieve however I found the album dragged in some areas, the long songs were a bit tedious to get through. If they tightened the track listing I think it would’ve been a higher rated album for me

What a pleasant surprise, a really fun listening experience, great production and great flows, the members interplaying with each other is great. Definitely a new favourite

A lot of mixed feelings because ye is now a Nazi, and I’m usually a fan of death of the artist but it’s hard when the person is alive and still doing what they’re doing. In saying that, objectively this is a very good album, very well produced with great features and songs, the main thing that drags it down are the skits which I’m not the biggest fan of on rap albums

Rated 6/10

It’s an ok album not as good as some of the other punk albums of the time, under produced and a very raw sound which I guess is what they were going for, but could’ve been done better imo

Rated 8/10

Quite a good album, I liked the 20 minute prog epic more than the more radio friendly side. Good to see Rush showing what they’re capable of

Not a bad Dylan album, quite easy to listen to, doesn’t have the same emotional appeals as some of his other records

What an album, the perfect example of the whole being greater than the sum of its parts, a very cohesive and well put together album that is super easy to listen to and super chill and doesn’t overstay its welcome, the vocal performances are amazing and the groves are super awesome.
