This album is fun and full of energy. It all sounds a bit the same but it sure is a blast.

Nope. Not a fan. "Last Dance" was ok, but that was about it.

"Hello", "Send My Love", "When We Were Young", and "Water Under the Bridge" are all songs that I have never put on myself but I know intimately from all of the radio plays they've gotten. They're great songs mind you! Everyone is going to say that Adele has an amazing voice, but I also like that you can tell how she changes and evolves with her song writing as she gets older. It's always about some sort of hardship, but that hardship is ever changing. The rest of the album is beautiful and it's hard to give this a low rating. It's probably a 9/10 album for me, but the radio plays and cultural impact rounds it up to 5 stars.

I feel like I should like this album more than I do. It just feels really empty to me. Like it has no soul. It's like a corporate version of Nirvana. I'm probably being too harsh, and I'm sure these guys really put in a big effort here, but it's just not coming through for me.

This album is awesome! I was vibing with it the whole time. I think I prefer the French songs over the English. It probably has to do with the fact that I don't have to focus on lyrics.

Ok, I really like this album! I don't know why, and I'm not sure if I should. I've listened to it twice, and it's just gotten better.

I'm so close to really liking this album. Unfortunately, the lead singer has a little too much Stevie Nicks and not enough Hayley Williams.

I really like The Byrds sound and this album. Really easy to listen to, but with enough variation to keep you interested. This is a 3.5/5 for me.

A solid album. I don't have a lot to say about it. It's about as middle of the road as you get. No standouts, but no duds either.

I hate his voice. I hate these lyrics. I hate the music. These songs do nothing for me. At best they're boring. At worst they're unsuccessfully trying to be edgy.

Did Ice T create the phrase Original Gangster?

I think Ice T has a pretty good flow and his rapping is pretty good, but every song started to sound the same. None of the beats were fun to listen to. I think his acapella tracks were the best ones. This album is also way too long.

Shout out to "Body Count"! A rock and roll track with Ice T vocals in the middle of a rap album works really well. I think it's a highlight of the album, but only because it's surrounded by so much repetitiveness.

My expectations for Beck albums are always too high. I'm disappointed every time I listen to one. My exposure to Beck is "Loser" and the Scott Pilgrim vs the World soundtrack. These albums are less that, and more random. I don't know how to explain it, but I was disappointed.

I definitely enjoy the Kinks. I like their vibe. I like their sound. I like "Lola". If that song was on this album it would give it an extra star. This was still an enjoyable listen though.

A lovely album to listen to. No real standout songs, but nothing I can really say negative about it either. 3.5/5.

Is the goal of this album to have other artists sample it and then just collect royalties off of those samples?

Create a 15 second loop. Repeat it for 8 minutes. Add a quiet part 2/3rds of the way in. Now repeat that 7 times. You now have an album.

At least the 15 second loops were good.

Is this ASMR?

Loved it! I'm going to keep an eye out for this vinyl. It feels like a perfect album for background record player music.

I really thought I would be done with this album after "Iron Man", but it just keeps going strong. I wish more metal was like this. I don't need a crazy amount of distortion and double peddle bass drums on every single track. This is heavy but its' also crisp and clean. It just goes, and I haven't even mentioned "War Pigs" or "Paranoid" yet! Fuck dude, this album really is that good.

RIP The Prince of Darkness

I don't know what it is, but English rappers sound so funny to me. The accent just doesn't work with the music style. That being said, I did enjoy this album. Nothing I would ever listen to myself, but it has a great style. I like her flow. It's just so funny when the heavy English accent comes out on specific words. It always makes me giggle.

Hot take: David Bowie is the most overrated artist of all time.

I think a lot of this take comes from his explosion in pop culture after his death in 2016. I don't think he's bad, but people act like he's the most influential musician ever. Every album I've listened to of his has one or two standout songs, and the rest is pretty forgettable. This album is the same. "Changes" is a great song, and "Life on Mars?" is fun. Other than that, there's not much else going on. This is a 3.5 star album for me. I might round up due to it's brevity.

It's fine.
