Depeche Mode does nothing for me. I don't hate, but I am bored.

Needs more double bass drum.

Damn, there are a lot of hits on this album! I guess I'm not really sure if they're hits or if Oakley just made me listen to them enough to recognize them. Either way, this album was awesome!

I thought this was a Randy Newman album when I first saw the name. I was really confused when a pretty cool electronica album started playing. I think that helped my enjoyment of it. 3.5 for me.

Pretty standard, easy listening. I had nothing to complain about but nothing stuck with me

I love when this list gives us international music (UK doesn't count)! It's always a pleasure to see what the rest of the world has to offer. This is a really cool album with a unique sound. Had a great time with it overall and I may come back to it when I need to change things up.

This isn't punk enough to justify it's sloppiness, and it's not clean enough call it good rock. I want it to lean more in one direction or the other. Still not offensive though.

I started to get lost into this one in a good way. It was over too early for me. It was a great album to get some work done to. 3.5 if I could give it.

I know nothing about Scott Walker, but his music makes me think of 40 year old musicians who only date 17 year old girls.

It was fine. Some songs were fun, but it was mostly just meh

It's not bad. Nothing to write home about. A little Indi. A little dancy. A little electronicy. Great compared to a lot on this list.

Here's the thing. When you have one of the greatest songs ever written at the beginning of your album does the rest really matter? I know there were other songs that heard, but I just want to listen to "American Pie" again. Absolutely perfect album art to mach as well. 10/10 single. 8/10 album

Hot damn! I was not expecting this to be this good. Her voice, flow, and beats are all spot on. A lot of women empowerment without going overboard. It can see how this would be too vulgar to some, but I'm sure those same people would praise the 80's hair metal bands that sing exclusively about drugs and sex. This album is way better than it should be.

I remember licking this while I listened to it, but now I can't remember anything about it. I guess that the definition of a 3. Fine, but forgettable.

Why are there so many late 90's UK electronic artists on this list?!

Man was this album boring. It's mostly ambient sounds and the same looping beat played over and over again. Maybe you can use this as background music in a student film.

This album goes back and forth from having a cool vibe to being really annoying. I don't quite know what to make of it. As soon as I get in a groove it starts to get irritating.

Incredible start to an album with a slow decline after. It's never bad, but it does get boring after "Walk of Life". It's got enough top 40 power to not dip below a 4 star for me.

This is like ordering a salad with buffalo sauce as the dressing. I like both of those things, and when you see it on the menu it sparks your interest, but just like the buffalo sauce, Metallica overpowers the symphony throughout this album.

I absolutely love Taylor Swift the pop star. I couldn't care less for Taylor Swift the depressed singer songwriter. It's hard to feel sorry or sad for her when this is her 9th album and she's already a billionaire. Maybe if this was her second album it would be different.

It's not bad, it just doesn't connect. I can't relate to the one hardship she has in her life, especially with today's current Taylor situation. If I'm going to listen to a sad lonely depressed pop star breakup album it's going to be Olivia Rodrigo's Sour.

This album's on here for one song alone. " I want you to want me" as one of the few handful of songs that is better live than the studio recording. Awesome song and solid live album. I also didn't realize that "Surrender" was my Cheap Trick.
