This is a nostalgia album for me. I was way into the doors back in high school so a lot of these songs are baked into my memory. Not everything on here was great, definitely some duds. I haven’t listened to the doors in a minute but I still dig a few songs on this one. Break on through starts the album off with a bang. The rest of the first half is solid. The second half is where it starts to fall off for me. Most of the songs after light my fire are duds. The End being the exception, that song rips.

There were some great songs on this album. That being said, in my opinion about 99% of Bob Dylan songs would be made better by cutting out the annoying harmonica solos.

I was not expecting to like this. I’ve never given Zappa a fair shake. I thought it would just be bizarre experimental noodling. I don’t know where I got that idea but it was ingrained in me at some point. This album was wild! Peaches en regalia while not being as crazy as the other tracks was an amazing kickoff. After that it was nonstop in your face energy. It was by and large an instrumental album and man can this band jam!

There were some cool things about this album. Some interesting drum loops, and I liked some of the music. There was a lot of potential here for a great album. That being said it didn’t feel very cohesive, and the songs needed work. Also, every song was ruined for me because I cannot stand the singers voice! This was the most egregious use of what I’m calling “80s voice” (think Tears for fears), it was unlistenable. This would be a three star with a different singer.

Not bad. Easy to listen to, kind of background music. Won’t go out of my way to play it again but wouldn’t be mad if it came on.

Not much can be said that hasn’t already been said. One of the greatest albums of all time. Even the uncomfortable skits and diddy’s annoying contributions can’t take away from how damn good Biggie is on this one. Easy 5 stars.

This album lasted forever. Incredibly boring. Being good at guitars doesn’t make up for lackluster songwriting.

Felt a bit scattered. Some good tunes but for a 40 minute album it dragged.

It was scattered but I enjoyed it.
