I like some of Can’s music but this album wasn’t my favorite.

I’ve always found this band to be annoying. I don’t know exactly why. Part of it is Perry Farrell’s voice but it’s not just that. I guess it’s just one of those things, not sure why but I am not a fan.

The covers made me appreciate the originals more. The sitar on the covers was very simple but it made me realize how complex the playing was on the original songs. Sagar was the stand out track.

This kind of reminded me of Soul Coughing if Soul Coughing was bad.

I liked this. The guitar work was impressive. And the overall sound was enjoyable.

This wasn’t as one note as I assumed it would be. Every song I’ve heard of Alice Cooper, mostly just the hits, have been pretty samey. This album has some more unique tracks like Blue Turk and Alma Mater. I didn’t love it but was pleasantly surprised by the variety.

A lot of ballads. Not my favorite.

Repetitive and long. It’s not bad but I wouldn’t go out of my way for it.

This started out as a strong three but as the album went on it quickly became a solid 4 for me. Bat Macumba is my favorite song.

A pleasant surprise! I had heard a song or two from these guys before and wasn’t digging it but this album was cool. I would def listen to this again.

This rips! Luau is one of the coolest songs I’ve ever heard.

I heard this was Jeffery Epstein’s favorite album.

If you’re reading this before you listen, SKIP THE OUTRO! It’s literally him thanking people for 12 minutes. It’s very nice of him to do that but it is not a song I want to listen to.

Now, onto the rest of the album. I remember when this came out and i wasn’t into it. That remains the same in 2025. It’s kind of cheesy, and too preachy. Lupe has some great rhymes but the songs on here are just okay.

I liked a couple songs on here but most of this album was kinda boring. It was surprising seeing as Swift is the biggest pop star on earth. I figured a full album would have some catchy tunes but this was mostly forgettable.

I was gonna say this is great but it’s not as good as the Soft Bulletin. But I’m not so sure any more, this might be better than or at least equal to Soft Bulletin. I have yet to see if that one is on the list, but Soft Bulletin and At War with the Mystics also deserve to be on here as well.

I know this guy has a cult following but it’s not for me. I don’t get the hype. What makes this guy different from say Tom Jones? Lyrical content? It’s still cheesy music even if the songs are darker or whatever.

This was not very good. I don’t think I needed to hear this. It wasn’t that bad but it was boring and bland.

This was like the nuggets collection meets the white album. It was garage rock but all over the place. These guys were ambitious, I’ll give them that. But the songs weren’t there for me. There was just nothing that stuck with me

Based on what I’d heard about Björk in the past I thought this was going to be weirder than it was. I mean I guess for a pop album (is Björk pop?) in 2001 this was not the norm. It has some experimental tendencies, I think the albums sound owes a lot to artists like Aphex Twin and Autechre. To me it sounded like those artists but more tame. Her voice isn’t bad, but I don’t love it either, and the songs were a little too melodramatic for my taste.

I just listened to Wowee Zowee the other day, not sure that one made this list but I’m glad at least Crooked Rain did. This album is Pavement at their best, I love their other albums but there’s just something about this album. They struck gold on this one.
