This album sounds great and still sounds very modern, while there were some songs that I did enjoy, I couldn’t get into this album, not saying it was bad just that it didn’t really connect with me. I also did find it dragged on for quite a bit

It’s an ok album that was way too hard to find and listen to. It was a pop album with latin flare.

I hate when Spotify lists all the songs from modern reissues because then it makes it seem a lot longer when in reality this album is just under 40 minutes. And those 40 minutes are really fun and creative, I definitely felt like I was tripping listening to this album and is a great example of psych rock. This album has aged a bit with production choices giving it an older sound especially with some of the vocal recordings and it did start a bit slow, but all in all fun listening

I really enjoyed this album and can hear its very strong influences to indie and shoegaze. I did find that the songs were really strong at the start with good variety but then started getting a bit boring and samey by the end

Quite a fun album, while not something I would normally listen to and not a genre I go to all the time, this was a good change of pace and I enjoyed it, it still sounds quite modern and you can definitely hear its influence on modern music.

Probably one of the best introductions to prog rock, not overly long, songs don’t get weird and a cohesive theme throughout. While not my favourite pink Floyd album (wywh and animals I prefer listening to as a whole experience more often) I really like that the songs on this album feel more like songs and can be listened to more regularly. Listening to time and then it going into gig in the sky is still one of the great music experiences and gives me goosebumps to this day. Very much deserves the accolades it gets especially for being such an accessible album.

I have mixed feelings of this album, I really liked the songs that were more folky or Indy rock with a country twang and were really enjoyable to listen to and if the album was full of that it would be rated much better for me. However this album has a bit of bloat in the form of plain modern county and I wasn’t a fan of that and skipped a bunch of those songs.
Did not realise until halfway through how much of a creep this guy was which is annoying because would not have listened. No good scores for creeps (who are still alive and profit of listens)

Quite a powerful album, I thought it started a bit slow and repetitive but as it went through I enjoyed it more and the songs became more diverse. I feel I’ll need to be in the right mood to listen to this in the future

This album was fine I guess but was a really weird mix of genres that maybe shouldn’t have been put onto a double LP.

This is a very good album, it is a bit weirdly paced in places and I think the last song should be switched with the second last song to end with a bit of energy but overall a fun listening experience

This album was a bit hit or miss, some songs were really pretty and beautiful while others felt a bit bloated and overlong. Glad I listened but will probably be a while before I listen again

I was not a fan of this album, not because it’s avant-garde but because I feel that was the deliberate point and kind of feels forced and because of that it’s kind of boring and not really interesting, I can’t really see this as being something useful while with throbbing gristle at least that sounded like true sound experimentation and I could see the merit in it. This is just someone who sounds strangely like David Bowie trying to be weird but not fully leaning into it enough for it to be truely interesting

This album started ok but then got really boring for me, it wasn’t really innovative or brought anything new

I did not vibe, it’s very dated for a 70s album where a lot of the classics sound fresh to this day, and the over the top theatricality grew very grating as the album went on

Praised as the best Metallica album and one of the greatest metal albums, last before the untimely death of Cliff Burton whose mark is felt all over the album especially on Orion which is perhaps my favourite Metallica song 8 minutes of instrumental heaven. In saying that even though it’s a good album it’s not the pinnacle of perfection that I remembered it being. It starts off a little slow with battery which is ok master of puppets is a masterpiece then it kinda drags again. It’s still a good album but I was just hoping for a bit more

Annoying album to find as Spotify doesn’t have the whole thing, glad I did and listen to it cause man what a groove, great songs. I liked the musical ideas but found I kinda zoned out a bit in some of them but still good overall

The sounds are genuinely ahead of its time and it was a cool listening experience, it’s not something I would normally listen to and definitely worthy of the list, I did find it hard to get through and did find myself losing interest towards the end though.

I think it’s a fine album, the concept is interesting and the songs are pretty good, weird hearing the guy who sings you got a friend in me say the n-word definitely a bit jarring. This gives me the same vibe of ccr though 2 artists from California portraying themselves as southern for the aesthetics.

I quite liked the sound of this album, interesting to hear another album that started the post punk sound and how much it was different to joy division. Still quite complex with a punk edge but definitely distinct

Ya like Jazzzz,
A very pleasant album to listen to on my ride home, I can see why it’s cited as one of the greatest albums of all time. Again I’m not the biggest jazz nerd and found at times that it was a bit long, I thought it was a great album nonetheless
