Really good sounding album. Just way too long. I definitely like Dennis Wilson's solo work more than Brian Wilson's. Not something I thought I would say prior to this list.

I think I have a thing for Psychedelic Rock. I liked this quite a bit. Pretty unique sound with some variety in it. It's not a game changer album, but I wouldn't be upset if someone put it on.

This album probably has the greatest first and last song of any on this list. The middle is ehh, but who cares when you have "Gimme Shelter" and "You Can't Always Get What You Want". An easy 4 star album for any mood you're in.

There was a running joke on Top Gear about how much Richard Hammond hated Genesis. Jeremy Clarkson would always play them when he had the opportunity just to piss Hammond off. I didn't know what he was complaining about. How could Peter Gabriel and Phil Collins make a bad band?

When I start the album I still didn't get the complaint. The music is good! But an hour and half later I get it. Even on a 1,000 mile road trip, Genesis' long meaningless meandering songs get really old. This took me two days to get through. I don't hate it, but man did it turn into a slog. 2.5 stars.

Good. Fucking. Album. I'm not big into The White Stripes, but this album rocks. Standout stadium songs and down to earth blues songs all in one. Totally deserves the hype.

It's Stevie man. Even his lesser known albums are great.

A perfectly fine album that I've already forgotten about.

A totally middle of the road album.

This album did nothing for me. It took a couple of days to get through. It's not bad, but I didn't find any enjoyment in it.

I think I heard the guitarist accidentally start to play a melody, but don't worry, the drummer smashed a snare drum over his head before it could become enjoyable.

My boss's boss's boss called me at 12pm on a Friday saying that I needed to get a research proposal put together and submitted by the end of the business day. I've never done a research proposal and I didn't even know where to submit it. I put on this album, cranked out a great idea, and submitted it with 15 minutes to spare.

This album has some high highs and low lows. Overall it's mostly positive. Madonna has cemented herself as a pop icon for a reason. It's unfortunate that "Like a Prayer" is the clear standout and the rest of the album never reaches that height again.

Abrasive just for the sake of being abrasive. Very unpleasant to listen to. There are a couple spots that I enjoy, but not even a full songs worth.

I liked this. Not enough to put on a list of significant albums, but I still enjoyed it.

I've discovered that I like Public Enemy, but this album got old pretty fast. It might have been my mood, but it felt really repetitive and long. I would say a 3.5 album.

I almost loved this album. The first two songs had me locked in for an epic album, but there are so many songs that just throw the groove off. It's so close to being great. They almost have the formula figured out.

I was very surprised by this album. Typically early 2000s female vocalist is my least favorite genre of music. Luckily Christina was able to keep the ooOooOOOOoooOoOoo's to a minimum. I was entertained overall with this album and very impressed with her music style. I would probably rate this a 4 if it wasn't for the length. Still, I was pleasantly surprised.

"If..." and "If I Were You" might be the funniest song combo I've ever heard. It took me awhile to key into the lyrics, but the contradiction from "I would do anything for you" and "If I were you I would get away from me" is hilarious.

Here's the thing. Everyone agrees that modern country music is trash. No substance or style. Just pop songs about beer, guns, and trucks sung in an accident. Everyone says classic country is the best until they listen to an entire album like this. A song or two is nice to listen to to get that original sound and feeling. A whole album of the same repetitive sound gets old fast though. A blend of classic sounds like this and the modern pop country we have today would be my ideal style.

Is this drum and bass? Whatever it is, I like it. Super mellow, but also interesting. Easy to throw on the background at anytime.
