Oof... I did not like that. Some songs were okay but others felt like they were off key. I don't know exactly what it was but it just was not pleasant.

When I was first introduced to Marilyn Manson, it was during his interview regarding the Columbine school shooting. It was a discussion about how people think his music influences kids to commit violence. He was asked if he had the chance to say something to the shooters before it happened what would he say. He said "I wouldn't say anything. I would listen". I always thought that was such a deep and insightful look into how adults treat children. Especially those on the fringe of society. Adults are always trying to influence them or prevent them from being influenced. They never stop to listen to what is actually going on inside themselves. I thought very highly of Mr. Manson after that interview...... then I found out that he has a history of sexual assault and domestic abuse claims against him.......

Not really crazy about the music, and I'm not really a fan of the artist anymore either.

I fun little punk album. I love the brass sections. Makes it almost a ska punk album, but not quite. I enjoyed listening to it, but I doubt I will ever come back to it.

I was 3 songs in before I realized that the song had changed.

Fuck yeah mother fucker!!! It hard. It's fast. I don't know what they're saying, but I like it!

Boring and basic. It's not bad, but it took me multiple tries to get through because I was so bored.

"Everybody needs a bosom for a pillow." might be my new favorite lyric.

Awesome album! I loved the variation in style and sound. Feels like a lot of influence is being blended here.

What the fuck did I just listen to? I want to give it both 5 stars and 1 star at the same time. It was definitely an interesting listen. I was engaged the whole time trying to figure out what was coming next. Definitely deserves to be on the list.

How did Marvin Gaye know I only last 4:25 in bed?

My friend Angus tried to get me into Korn in middle school. Angus was a pretty wild guy. I remember him best for being able to snort a spaghetti noodle and pull it out of his mouth. He was big into metal, and he burnt me a Korn CD. It was a mixtape of their best songs, and I kinda liked it but I never really got into them. Angus ended up going to a different high school than me where he got heavily involved in heroin. I'm not sure if he dropped out of school or not, but I think he overdosed sometime after school. I didn't expect it at the time, but looking back at it now, snorting spaghetti noodles and listening to Korn were pretty good indicators of a future heroin overdose.

A couple of hits that I knew, but most of the album felt too much the same. Even "Mama Said Knock You Out" is better sampled and remixed. Overall it was fine.

A solid rock album with some classic bangers on it! Somewhere between a 3 and 4, but I'm probably going to bump it up to a 4.

The songs and album cover make me think of the opening credits to a James Bond movie.

Some of this I like, and some of it I hate. I don't mean I like certain songs and dislike others. I would start to enjoy a song and then get annoyed with it before it was even over. I would like to take samples from this album, but I wouldn't want to listen to the whole thing.

When I first started this album I thought that it didn't need to be on this list. It was just another boring brit-pop album. However, the further I got into it the more I realized that......... I hate this album. I absolutely hate this guys voice! It's so annoying. Is he really doing symbol noises at the end of "How Could I Be Wrong"? The melodies are simple and the lyrics are boring. There's nothing new or innovative here. Maybe if this came out in the early 70's there might be some influence. Coming out in the 90's? Come on. No one was influenced or had their mind blown listening to this album. I need to see the justification of why I needed to listen to this before I die.

Hot damn! Earth, Wind & Fire are funky! I don't know why I only thought they had one song. This album is awesome. A couple songs on here that I didn't realize were EW&F. I need to listen to more of them.

I'm between a 4 and a 5. I think the brevity of this album is going to give it that bump up to a 5.

I can easily see the influence this band had on the punk scene. It feels much more late '90s/ early 2000s, then an early '80s album. I'm sure some of my favorite bands wouldn't exist without them, but the sound has also been perfected beyond what X delivered.

Good flow, good beats, good message, good album.

Damn, it was nice getting a rock album again! Solid album all around with some sick guitar solos and solid vocals. The back half gets a little more funky. It's a good break up from the more traditional rock first half. Solid album with an all time song "Cult of Personality".

This album hit me at the right time and place. I needed to get a lot of work done and this was perfect background music. Will I be coming back to it? No, but it did serve it's purpose at the time.

This was a pleasant listen. Some hit or miss songs here and there. Overall not bad.

Another solid album by an artist I've never heard of. Kind of wild though that this is in Rolling Stones top 100 albums of all times. That seems a little excessive.
