LowDavid Bowie

Rated 10/10

I get it. This is Bowie. This is awesome. This is weird and beautiful and I finally love it like I've always wanted to love it. Would listen again.

I can get the appeal, there was some really great production in there. But I felt gross listening to it. Will not listen again.

Rated 10/10

Baba O'Riley, Behind Blue Eyes and Won't get Fooled Again are all from the same album?!? Sign me up! Classic rock at its best.

Middleschool me would have absolutely adored this album, which is tragic as It was out then. As it is I don't really care for his voice. That makes this album a middling affair to me.

If it weren't for the episode of Malcolm Gladwell's Revisionist History I probably wouldn't enjoy this album. As it is I'm gonna love it. Jesus that was blistering political commentary. That was tough to get through. It was powerful enough that it gets four stars, but I will not be listening again.

Rated 10/10

It's hard to deescribe the inteeresting musicality of Bjork. It was well worth the listen whatever the hell it was

Highschool? Highschool. Let the Head-banging commence. Just at the right intersection of noise and music. So hard, but still musical.

I have memories of listening to this album at a friends house as a middle schooler. Back then we listened to for the naughty words. Now it's hard to get past the misogyny and hate. It's obvious it's having its intended effect. It's meant to be repulsive. But I don't like it. I feel like my mom. That was not fun.

I wish I had better speakers for metal. The frenchness and the intro were nice, don't know that I'll be listening again.

Several great tracks, some dragged and got repetitive and weren't fun to listen, so might put it on, would not listen all the way through.

There have been other albums that have stretched the definition of music, but I feel like they failed and just made noise. This is the album that successfully starched music while still making music. This feels mind expanding while still just being punk. I loved it.

What an increidble blues guitar. I can see why this guy is hailed as the best. Blues guitar is not my thing, but I could see myself putting it on.

Take On Me is a transcendant song, and the rest of the album is very solid 80's synth pop. One of the best examples. I just don't much care for 80's synth pop, so four stars.

Before listeneing, I would have been very surprised if the rest of the album was boring enough to bring Two Weeks down to a four star album. After listening, I'm not even sure Two Weeks is the best song on the album. This album, much like Ultra Violet by the National and every album by radiohead, make me wish I had rated every other album lower because now I want six stars for them.
