My favorite Costello to date. Really like "Watching the Detectives". 3.5/5

Fantastic album. Familiar with Bragg through his Mermaid Ave series, but this one had some great finds. Will dig into his discog more. 4/5

Probably the album that first got me deep into my electronica/techno phase. I think it holds up amazingly well. So many bangers. 4.5/5

Disappointing for a Can album. Had listened to other albums in the past and found them far superiors to this one. This one just sounded like background music. 1.5/5

I really like Yes and prog rock, but this was just an average to below average, kinda bland offering. Just nothing but endless songs with little redeeming value. 2/5

Each song was WAY too long and honestly I couldn't tell them apart. 1/5

Eh just ok. 3/5

Great album. Love the musicianship of Rush. And what about the voice of Geddy Lee? How did it get so high? I wonder if he speaks like an ordinary guy?

4.5/5

Way too much Thin Lizzy...and I actually like Thin Lizzy. Would have been better just including a studio album. 1.5/5

Decent album, just not really my style. 2.5/5

Really like Neil Young. This is an album I hadn't listen to much in the past but felt it was great. 4.5/5

80s synth pop is fine, but not something I would typically seek out. Didn't realize that Simple Minds had such a history. Overall just decent. 2.5/5

LOVE ATCQ. Really the first rap group that I ever really good into. This album is always considered a classic, and while I really like it, I still prefer a few others slightly. Scenario is an absolute banger. 4/5

Yet again basically the same as any other Stevie Wonder album we have listened to. Nothing spectacular. 2/5

I really like ACDC in small doses, but given the relative sameness of their songs a full album gets to be a bit much. 3/5

Perfectly fine classic rock sound that is really iconic...I just got tired of it by the end of the album. Not something I would ever go to in order to listen on my own. Do think their look is hilarious though. 2.5/5

Animal Collective...a band that I typically feel I should like more than I do. Long time indie media darlings, MPP was the first album that I even remotely liked, but still felt it was much too over rated. Unfortunately this was also the last MPP album I have really enjoyed. 4/5

Really cool...like Indian classical music. Makes for great background listening. I appreciated the lessons that he gave on each song as well. 3.5/5

I am a much bigger fan of mid to late Beatles, but this album does have some good ones. I like this is the first time you get an inkling of what the Beatles are to become. 4/5

Like the more hiphop/rap songs. The song that sampled Tom Tom Club was my favorite, and the Message is always a classic. That being said, the rest of the album was largely disappointing and not worth noting. 2.5/5
