A good ambient album which is a great change of pace from what this user list leans hard towards.

To me this is pretty middle of the road and uninteresting.

I don't think it's hyperbole to call this a groundbreaking release. Something that hadn't been done before that brought this stylized approach to music to the forefront and kickstarted a sensation. Have not listened to a full Weird Al record since I was a teenager. I forget how this was more front loaded with the parodies and the most of the second side is originals. Weird Al rules, one of the best.

One of the more recent pop stars of the moment. Catchy and well produced for sure, but at the end of the day, it is a pop album.

A classic that I haven't listened to for a while now. I forget how much this first album rocks--a sound she's unfortunately (to me) moved away from a bit. I miss this kind of wild abandon from her. Had a blast revisiting this.

I had not listened to this for decades. And it totally rocks which is not surprising at all.

Pretty straightforward alt rock, which is too say it's nothing special.

This is the second Vampire Weekend album on the User list after there were none on the critic list. I think that after listening to two Vampire Weekend albums I am firmly in the same camp as the critics and believe their omission was correct. The music this band makes just feels so empty and uninspired. Generally I can understand why people would like something, but with this band, I just don't get it. Not for me at all.

An interesting record. It feels like it's from someone who lives on the fringes, and it doesn't really fit into anything neatly. I enjoyed this enough.

Heavy post metal record. Not for me but obviously a good record.

It is easy to laugh and discount this when it comes up. Certainly a very specific sound of a very specific time, but this was not an unpleasant listen at all. For never listening to CAKE I was surprised with how many of these songs felt wholly familiar to me. They must be more ubiquitous culturally than I give them credit for.

This was fine, seems a bit before it's time for sure. When I was listening to it, I assumed that it was from the early 2010s. It being late stage Britpop I'm sure was a thing. Because I'm guessing Britpop people don't like more progressive things like this. Anyway, this was an okay listen, too long for sure, nothing super remarkable.

Love seeing a Primus album pop up. I have not listened to a full Primus album for so many years. Back when I got in to Primus almost 30 years ago, this was one of my go-to albums, for obvious reasons. So many great songs. Had a lot of fun listening to this.

I guess this is an acclaimed death metal album. It was fine, not my thing by any means.

This was so much better than I was expecting. Wide ranging super catchy layered pop songs. Super well done and super enjoyable.

I was the demographic of the target audience when this was released in 1994, so I definitely listened to this but quickly shed any interest in this genre of music pretty immediately. That being said, this is a lot better than I was expecting.

This was enjoyable enough, but just really not for me.

The second Bon Iver album that has come up on this User Album list, which is wild. I certainly liked this way more than this band's debut. It still has such a distinct attachment to a specific time and place and scene that I just don't have the best associations with, but it isn't as anchored to it as that debut. I enjoyed this a bit, but certainly not for me.

90s pop country is really not for me.

Certainly an interesting and eclectic sound.
