I don't like guitars as much as this album probably demands, but its still pretty great.

Bleh, stuck in first gear. I know I don't have a great ear for country but this sounds so flat. Harmonies are almost too locked in so they're totally indistinct, nothing interesting going on melodically or rhythmically, zero energy, I guess I'm supposed to be listening to the vocals and lyrics but those don't really interest me either.

Music is boring and something about the production is very grating to me. Would still be a two but I had to listen to middle aged pedo Steven Tyler talk about 'young lust'.

God damn this album is good, sucks about everything else.

Still not really my thing, but I'm glad its on the list. Was worth giving it a shot, and there were some bits where the instrumentals were super fun.

Beck is boring in a whole new genre, groundbreaking.

It remains unclear why I must listen to Beck.

I think I'd only previously heard songs off of AM, and was not a huge fan. This is so much better. Way more energy, love it.

The video for New York, New York starts with a screen saying "This video was shot on Friday September 7th, 2001"

Just a wild density of some of the all time best rock and roll. Easy 5.

A classic for a reason. Enjoyed the listen, but some tracks dragged.

I quite enjoyed this. I don't know if I would ever pick this to listen to again as a whole album, but its a really excellent showcase of Biggie's skill and some superb production.

My preference is certainly for somewhat more melodic stuff, but there's a lot to like here. Some of the vocals are kind of just the singer angrily speaking words related to the theme of the song with no sense of rhythm and falling behind the tempo.

An algorithmic recommendation on a radio created based on a decent reggae band. Technically fits the theme, doesn't really add anything.

Not as interesting as Ok Computer or Kid A, but quite good.

I really appreciate the extremely tight songwriting and hooks here. Performances are great and the songs are excellent. Its a little much for a full album listen though.

I feel like I got it by the end, but I'm still not convinced that I can love music this atmospheric.

I started listening to the 2009 remaster and then realized by the end of the first song there was a more recent one. Much improved stereo mixing. Excellent record, The Beatles continue to be good. Fun harmonies, interesting instrumentation, simply lovely. Nothing quite as towering to me as the back half of Abbey Road, but really, what is. Also, I think the other reviewers are being too hard on Yellow Submarine. Did I like it as a kid? Of course I did; not sure why that's relevant.

Pretty boring tbh, her voice is great, and I enjoy it when they step on the gas a bit. Unfortunately, they only do that like twice.

I liked this, weird in some fun ways. Its not The Beatles, who go for a similar kind of weirdness better, but not much is.
