Loves the first track, and there were a couple that I would play again, but over all felt like it was searching for the sound punk perfected

So many cool songs

A little heavier than I like, but every song was worth the listen

I now understand why the first three and only the first three were radio singles. Amazing five star ep that grew into a four star album

It was fine. The instrumentation and composition was not interesting, so without understanding the lyrics there was nothing to hold me.

Had some interesting sounds, but nothing grabbed me

Mom's favorite rock album as a child. I know every lyric. It's impossible to separate my familiarity with the albums underlying quality, I love every song. Five stars.

They put together some hits, but not everything is great.

Interesting. II'm glad sex funk exists, don't know that I will ever listen to it again.

Such interesting sound, very cool

Is squares the origins of I fell asleep among the flowers for a couple of hours, or was that a sample here too? Regardless, smooth, fun, groovy, dancable, very cool.

Definitely the weakest Smiths album. None of these songs really croon or grab like their other albums. Still pleasant.

What fun!

Jump alone puts this at five stars

Fun little album. Another where I wish I could hear it with 80's ears to understand how cool and novel the synth was.

This was fine.

This strikes me as incredibly 'I'm 14 and this is deep' with the score to match. Nothing about this grabbed me. Still very pretty and atmospheric.

Quintessential Arabian sound. This is basically the soundscape Hollywood uses as shorthand for the middle east and it sounds amazing. Khaled's classically beautiful baritone is absolutely accentuated by the backing instrumentation. I wish I understood the lyrics, but that by no means detracts from the soundscape

This could have been my favorite album if it was foundational. As it is it's a good time but not much more. Fun and easily digestible.

This is the comprehensible, well produced, incredibly intelligent polotical Hip Hop I wanted! The only drawback is the main interest is the lyrics, not the music, and as a result it can start to get monotonous if you're not paying attention, but still this is what I want hip hop to be.
