QUICK REVIEW...... excellent review.

Classic 80s easy listening. This is what I picture when radio stations are labeled as Adult Hits. I didn't dislike it, but I won't remember it.

Solid album, but no standout hits. Could easily have it on in the background anytime.

Another album and band that I have seen everywhere but never listened to. I liked this much more than most of the other early influential punk records. I'll definitely try and listen to more of their stuff.

Every time I listen to The Prodigy I feel like I should be wearing a black trench coat with combat boots and sunglasses at night; kicking in a door to a vampire night club in the middle of a blood orgy. Wesley Snipes throws me a fully auto crossbow in slow motion as I combate roll across the room to catch it. Time resumes normal speed when all of the black leather clad vampires turn to me. "What a pain in the neck" I say before squeezing the trigger and begining the electronica fueled slaughter of the blood sucker monsters.

After 3 minutes of that feeling, I'm just sitting around listening to mediocre beats for another 1h and 12min. Wondering was that actually cool, or really lame in hindsight.

13 songs in 30 minutes! This is the opposite of most albums on this list.

There are obviously a couple songs on hear that everyone in the world knows. They're not The Beatles best songs, but they're memorable for a reason. The rest of the album all kind of sounds the same, and every song is about the same subject matter. It's not a bad thing. Just maybe a little stale. I almost feel obligated to rate it higher because it's The Beatles, but then there's the equal obligatory modern take the The Beatles are overrated. If I could, I would probably give this a 3.5/5.

I thought I was going to like this more than I did. I didn't recognize any of the songs. It was good, but a little slow. Frank Ocean has an amazing voice, but that's about it for me on this album.

I enjoyed the music, but I can't get over the vocals. The echo or whatever it is over his voice is just too off putting for me.

Not my cup of tea.

This feels like a mash up of the worst aspects from the following:

Lyrics by Bob Dylan look-a-like competition runner up
Music by the local renaissance fair court jester
Vocals by the theater kid who only ever wanted to do Shakespeare plays
Cover Art by "Just tell me everything you want and I'll squeeze it in somewhere"
Audience by "You just don't get it. This is genius."

I enjoyed this album more than any of the other albums that have been part of the Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young super groups. Still not something that I would go out of my way to listen to, but by no means did I dislike it.

The names in this band feel like a group of space marines being introduced to a rookie.

"Welcome to the team new guy. Come over here and let me introduce you to the squad. We've got Dallas, Chris, Al, Joe, Paul, and this.... this here's Fuzzy."

I enjoyed this more than I thought I would. I didn't really like the first Velvet Underground album we listened to on this list, but I liked this one much more. Glad I finally gave such an iconic album the full listen to, and if I see this vinyl in the wild I'll probably pick it up. 9/10 if we were on that scale.

Iconic songs, and easy listening. Easily a solid 4.

What a breath of fresh air! Very easy to listen to, and I wish there was more of it. A solid album with one of the most iconic songs ever on it.

I enjoyed "1970", but most of the songs on here are needlessly long, and that's saying something for a 35 minute album. Another album that is hugely influential for a genre that I love, but I enjoy the iteration on it rather than the album itself.

This album is a car crash. I don't mean that figuratively.... It sounds like a literal car crash.

The quiet dissonant tone of a vehicle approaching quickly followed by metal scraping against concrete only to be interrupted by the screams of a German man slowly dying in a burning fire. The jaws of life and angle grinders attempting to crack open the burnt carcass of a steel smoldering wreck not being enough to quit the screams of the man inside. A brief 30 second pause of silence as the rescue crew believes that the man has passed away. The silence is interrupted by the rhythmic sound of broken bone beating against steel as the man gives one last fight to break free of his iron coffin. The sound slowly fades away, and the drilling and cutting begins again to remove the corpse from the tangled wreckage.

I listened to this album in the car with Britta, John, and Kristin. This review is a compilation of all of our ratings

There are some big hit on here and I feel like I need to give it a 4, but if I'm honest with myself it's a 3.

I hated his voice.... then I loved it.... then I hated it again. I think it works well with the upbeat pop songs, but I really don't like it with the slower songs.

It's fine.

5 songs off this album are on the RHCP greatest hits collection. 4 of them are within the first 6 songs. Talk about a strong start and a very front loaded album.

I like to think that they recorded these songs in order. By the time they got to "Californication" they were on top of the world thinking they could do no wrong. Just keep writing songs because it's hit after hit. Then they started to quickly run out of steam and wrote songs about liking dirt.

If they cut out five songs from the back half of this album (Emit Remmus, I Like Dirt, Savior, Purple Stain, and Right On Time), it would be perfect for me! The lackluster finish brings this down to a 4 though.
