Rated 10/10
I have heard this before and did not remember liking it as much as I do now! Maybe it grew on me, but either way, it feels ahead of its time in some respects. ETA: the more I listen to this, the more I love it. Bumping this up to 5/5
Rated 2/10
Incredibly tedious to get through. Lyrics seemed (to me, at least) surface level and cringy. Not to mention, overall boring as SHIT
I already can’t stand U2, so I tried to keep an open mind, but this album encapsulates all the things that irritate me about this band (mostly Bono tbh). They try too hard to sound deep, but it doesn’t seem like they actually know what that entails.
Rated 8/10
I enjoyed this album! Interesting beats and samples, I particularly liked the one of “Les Fleurs” in Thin Line.
Rated 4/10
Very meh. Found the lyrics to be dull and uninspired. Sounds too much like other indie-pop albums from that era but doesn’t really measure up.
Rated 6/10
Pretty cool that this was released so early. that being said, this was just ok for me
Would never have listened to this otherwise, super glad I did!
Rated 6/10
Songs were fine, but jfc this was possibly the most disjointed album I’ve ever heard. Finding out they broke up the band a year later was not at all shocking
Rated 8/10
I, too, don’t want to know what the rich are doing
Rated 8/10
Maybe it’s the nostalgia talking, but this is such a wonderful album. The production is very reminiscent of 2007 but somehow doesn’t sound dated in 2025. Time to Pretend is my favorite track, it just gives such a youthful, exuberant vibe.
Found it to be a bit pretentious and self indulgent. Obviously taking more risks post-Beatles, but it kind of fell flat for me.
Rated 10/10
Literally a groundbreaking album, a masterpiece and the foundation of a whole genre. Iconic, 5 stars. RIP Ozzy 🖤
Rated 6/10
Not at all what I would normally listen to, but a great listen nonetheless!
Rated 8/10
This was a beautiful album, and although I find Leonard Cohen’s voice to definitely be an acquired taste, it suited this album and its mood as a whole perfectly.
Rated 8/10
Pretty fun, I liked the beaT(s)
Rated 4/10
why does the lead vocalist sound on the verge of tears??? I like The Weight but otherwise, meh.
Rated 8/10
LOVED the harmonies on this album. Otherwise, sounds like standard laurel canyon-esque folk rock (not a bad thing)
