This is just Bjork before she could really get weird with her solo stuff.

I wanted to like this album more than I did. Nina Simone has an amazing voice and her piano is beautiful. The lyrics are meaningful, but the song's feel all over the place. You can kinda tell this is a collection of leftover songs. Yesterday I was leaning towards a 4, but today I'm leaning towards a 3. I think I'm going with a 3 because I do forget most of the songs already. I should really give this a relisten.

I've been waiting for an album to come along that allows me to finally understand and appreciate Tom Waits.

Looks like I'll have to keep waiting because this ain't it.

Any of these songs could be playing in the background of a 90's high school movie while the main character narrates what happens to everyone after graduation.

Dope album! Some all time hits on here with "White Rabbit" and "Don't You Want Somebody To Love". The album was consistent through and through. No notes.

I love me some Phil Collins, but these prog rock are just too long and boring. It's not painful, but I was waiting for it to be over.

Awesome album! Feels really out of place for 2003 though. I always thought "I Believe in a Thing Called Love" was from the 70's or 80's. The rest of the album keeps that sound and vibe making it a fun listen. A really underrated band.

This album is fucking insane. The random jumps from light jazz to ethereal sounds and disturbing lyrics only make sense with the knowledge that this was intended as a movie score. It's a really unique album that I want to give both a 1-star and 5-star review. I guess I'll settle in the middle, but this is anything but average.

The most boring EDM album I've ever listened to.

In the great Beatles vs Rolling Stones debate I think I have come to my conclusion. The Beatles have higher highs with their most famous songs, but The Rolling Stones have a better more consistent sound throughout their albums. I think I am a Stones over Beatles fan after this list.

A bit boring. A bit dull. A bit long.

I recognize so many rifts off of this album. I had to look up and see what were original and what were covers. It turns out a lot of them are covers, however, the biggest title "Green Onions" is an original. I've heard it so many times before. It hit me like a freight train. Glad to know we're originate from. Overall a super cool instrumental album!

What happened between M.I.A.'s first album and her second album? The first did a really good job of blending different genres and styles from around the world. This one just feels like a mess. Maybe I'm in a different headspace this time around, but it just doesn't work for me.

Paper Planes still slaps though.

I have yet to be disappointed by a CCR album. These guys just get it. Every song is solid and two big hits make this an easy 4 star.

I'm not crazy about the whisper breathy singing, but the music itself is good. A 3.5 stars album.

What the hell happened to this album? It started out decent. The music was good but I wasn't crazy about the vocals. As we got deeper into the album it just devolved in to 20 minutes of nonsense. Not just 20 minutes of nonsense lyrics. It was just noise. What a weird spiral into a 1 star rating

Only 2 songs on here that I knew, but those songs are great!

Cool beats and some notable samples.

This was a cool album and a nice change of pace, but I feel like there are better examples of indie synth pop from this era. Some song I really got lost in, but others were kinda grading. I think its when she sings in her falsetto that ruins it for me.

"Breakfast Time" by Orange Juice sounds like it would be a kids song teaching them about the importance of eating healthy.

Another decent album if not a bit boring. Not crazy about the vocals but the horns are awesome.
