It's crazy that Green Day put themselves back on top of the pop punk genre that they helped create 10 years after the release of Dookie. This album starts strong and doesn't let up. So many hits on here, and being a concept album is just a cherry on top. The double songs are sick! It's a good way to add continuity to the songs without having to do it for the entire album. I'm obviously biased from nostalgia, but if they can make a Broadway musical from this album, it must be good.

I think I'm just not in a great mood today and I shouldn't take it out on this album, but oh well.

When man first discovered that they could record and broadcast music in stereo rather than mono it was a breakthrough that everyone recognized as genius. You could get higher fidelity in recordings to the point where you could finally pick out specific instruments. You could even pinpoint where in the room those instruments were being played (sound stage). It was revolutionary and bands were experimenting with the new technology. Like most experiments, they sometimes get pushed a little too far. That is what happened here. John, Paul, George, and Ringo were sitting in a room and decided why don't we put all of the instruments on the left side of the room, and we will all sing on the right side. But won't that get a little annoying only hearing lyrics out of one side? Who cares. This is stereo technology we're talking about. We have to put it to the test.

I absolutely can't stand the production of this recording. I'm getting a headache out of one side of my head. It's like when 3D movies were a thing and you could tell every shot that was intended for 3D. Did it add to the film? No. Is it distracting and take you out of the moment? Yep. Are people going to hate it in the future? Probably. So why are we doing it? Cause it's new and cool!

I couldn't tell you much about the actual music. I was too distracted by this stupid stereo recording to pay attention to it. Fuck you Parlophone. I hope you're proud of that little "stereo" stamp in the top right corner of the album art.

Some music is so good it transcends time. It will be carried on forever. Played over and over throughout the decades. It was loved the day it came out, and will be loved just the same when mankind first puts footsteps on Mars.

This is not that. It is so stuck in the 50's that it hurts. Still fun to go back and listen to it though.

I love this style! Quick, fast, and loud. 2-minute long songs where you get in, fuck shit up, and get out.

In a world of 3 hour long movies and deluxe extended edition records, I will always appreciate a 90 minute movie or 30 minute album.

Super clean and crisp recording! Exactly what you need so you can hear all of those precises guitar licks. An easily enjoyable album, and "Sultans Of Swing" is an amazing song.

Awesome album. Very much a Michael Jackson vibe. I'm surprised this guy isn't more well known.

I guess this is my music hot take. Prince is overrated. He does nothing for me.

I really like the first half of this album. Cool beats that are super interesting and suck you in. The second half falls off. It devolves into random noises mashed together to see if "hey maybe this will work".

I did not like this guy's voice. Pretty disappointed with this album.

I really like this album! I think a lot of problems people have with modern country music is the simplicity of its lyrics i.e. beer, trucks, and freedom. One thing I didn't think about is changing up the perspective from male to female. A country song from the female perspective feels much more meaningful. It's more of a singer songwriter who happens to have a country accent, rather than stereotypical pop country.

I enjoyed the whole album from front to back. I'll be looking out for a copy on vinyl. I could see myself rating this a 5 with a few more listens.

A solid blues album. I really like his voice and his style, but I got pretty bored during some of the slow songs. This would be an easy four if I could cherry pick some of the more upbeat songs, but then I guess it wouldn't be a blues album then would it?

That first track must be really worn out on a bunch of vinyl's.

This album is classic Elton John with his biggest hit on it. The other songs are good and don't drag it down. I just wish there were more big hits to make this a truly epic album.

It's Elton John. Your going to love it even if you don't know the songs.

This was totally fine. I had no issue listening to the whole album. Totally serviceable, but I won't remember it after today. I think the global review are a little harsh for this album. There are a lot worse on this list.

Is this all just one song? I can't tell where one starts and the other ends, and not in a good way like some other albums. If you like that one sound and tempo then you are in for a good time. Much like how I can't distinguish anything that is being said in the lyrics, I cant distinguish a single melody or distinct riff. The best that I can say for Slayer is that it is fun noise.

Solid mom music.

Michael knows how to make an album! There are 4 all-time songs on this one, and he perfect spaces them throughout. The other songs are kinda forgettable though. Bad is definitely not as good as Thriller, but it's not that big of a step down. Probably the best way to follow up the greatest record of all time. This would be a 9/10 if we were on that scale.

Early 90s rap has to be really good for me to enjoy it. This wasn't bad, but it didn't do anything great. I got bored of it early on. I wouldn't have finished it if it wasn't on the list.

A classic band with a classic sound. One big hit and the rest of the album is solid. A 3.5 for me.

They've got solid beats and a really good flow. I like their sound overall, but nothing really stuck with me after listening to the album.

I listened to this as background music, so I didn't give it the most fair shot. Joni's voice has a unique beauty to it, but other than that I don't have much positive to say about the album. Mostly just boring.
