Solid but not spectacular. Has some good songs but certainly not the best U2 album. The famous songs like One and Mysterious Ways clearly the best. 3/5

Really disappointing record. Feel it is just anonymous 90s major label punk. Not surprised it didn't catch on in the US. 1.5/5

Disappointed for it being a mercury award winner. Very slow without a lot of redeeming melodies. 2.5/5

Enjoy the Byrds sound. Much better than their earlier hits which I think are way over played. Solid album. 4/5

Enjoy Pearl Jam...it had been a long time since I had listened to Ten cover to cover. Was surprised on how much filler there was. The hit songs are HUGE but it doesn't wow me as a complete product. 3.5/5

Has a couple of decent songs, but I definitely prefer earlier Green Day. Nothing they have done post-Dookie is that amazing IMO (although this is probably the best).

Latin music is not typically my thing, and I even found this sound more blasé than usual. I would love to pretend like it was profound or moved me, but I just wanted it to be over. 1/5

Nothing special...background reggae music. Really surprised by the inclusion on this list at it doesn't seem that important in music history either. 2/5

Elevator music. I had seen reference to the Carpenters as punchlines to many jokes and I now know why. 1.5/5

Great album. Easily my favorite Coldplay album (although Parachutes is pretty good as well). The Scientist is my favorite song. 4/5

Fun album, but I think there are probably better EW&F offerings. I feel like it could have been more up beat/dancy. 3/5

Decent album. Have tried to get into MSP in the past with limited success, but enjoyed this listen more than in the past. A Design for Life easily my favorite. 3/5

more of the same Elvis Costello. Just doesn't do much for me. 2/5

Pretty much like any other Elvis Costello that I have listened to. Solid but not amazing. 2.5/5 PS I do like the UK artwork FAR more than the US version.

Solid rock album. Have always enjoyed Aerosmith's more famous songs, but the filler works decently well. 3.5/5

Had never heard of Jane Weaver prior but was pleasantly surprised. Decent sound although nothing stood out as amazing. 3/5

Jane's Addiction doesn't really do much for me. The only song worth listening to was Jane Says...the rest are just noise to me. I honestly would rather listen to Porno For Pyros. 1.5/5

I have tried many times but just can't quite get into Pulp. Really the most disappointing of the Britpop elite. This album is no different. Nothing really struck me as worth listening to again and I was looking forward to it ending. 1.5/5

Interesting...had seen many references to this album but never heard the sound before. Enjoy that it is very unique within the scheme of other post-punk albums. 3/5

Love Yes...and Prog rock in general. Great musicianship coupled with some catchy melodies.
