Already listened to, and by far my favourite ABBA album, while voulez vous has some of my all time favourite songs on them, this is their most cohesive album imo.

For an album that's just over 30 minutes long, it sure is dragging out. Not bad, but nothing too noteworthy. Though Sunshine of Your Love is really good. Anyway, fuck Eric Clapton for very obvious reasons.

It's only just dawned on me why they're called Minutemen.... that's embarrassing on my part. Really good basslines, I love to learn some of them, but it's too long and too samey for me to give it a higher rating than this.

Don't know why is such a lovely song, but everything else on this album is very forgettable

Reading reviews I also agree that the fact that all three of the band's albums being on the list is a bit ridiculous. I'm hoping this one is the worst of the three though, shame I got it first.

This album is just deeply okay, not horrendous but not something I'd ever listen to again. Would have been happy giving it a three but it sounds unfinished in many places, the gaps in the middle of 7+min tracks give off the air of being still in the editing process.

Yeah..... no

Hell yeah, first Queen album of this project. Once again, incredibly biased they've been my favourite band since I was 4 and I genuinely believe they don't have a bad album, I've listened to them all.

Rhythmically interesting, but everything else is just a bit bland, which I definitely didn't expect from a metal album.

First radiohead for this project, but was the second album of their's I listened to. I do like them, but have come to the conclusion that every radiohead song sounds better when Thom Yorke isn't the one singing it.

Ok, idk if this means I'm a sad virgin, but damn is this album good. I get why people don't like it but if we all liked the same thing life would be boring.

Growing up, I was dragged along to folk clubs with my mum's band when my dad was working late. Considering that I just wanted to stay home, I'd complain the whole time, but was still allowed to make one request for the set list. If it was a solo gig, I'd ask my mum to play Big Yellow Taxi, if it was her band, I'd ask them to play Bad Moon Rising. This album brought back so many memories from those years, and while my hatred for folk music has disappeared, my love for this song and now album has remained the same.

One of my favourite albums ever. My first concert ever (that I wanted to go to) was a couple of years ago to see the anniversary tour for this album.

Almost impossible to find, hard to tell if what I found is the complete album or not. If I'm being honest, not really my thing. I already have a love hate relationship with 90s electronic music, and this album hasn't helped at all.

Would have been a four if the longer songs earned their length

Been meaning to listen to this for ages, I've already heard a couple of songs and love them so expecting good things

Update: This is genuinely now a favourite album, holy shit

Before: If I'm being completely honest here, I fucking hate Led Zepplin. I don't think they're as good as everyone makes them out to be. It also doesn't help that every music class I had for two years, this one boy wouldn't stop playing Stairway to Heaven on the guitar. So I'm going in extremely biased but I'll give it a go

After: It's nice to know I'm right about something, though I'll admit I didn't expect to be extremely bored during this album. All of the songs sounded almost identical to each other, why is this album rated as highly as it is?

Going into this, I already know that I like The Divine Comedy, so hoping for good things.

Right, as stated above, I already like The Divine Comedy, and I'm a huge fan of Björk, Tori Amos, and Kate Bush. So this is exactly the kind of thing that I'm into. I can get why it isn't for everyone, but I don't care, I love it and that's all that matters to be honest. Will definitely check out more of her work.

Not really my thing

I can now understand why my Dad never introduced me to Steely Dan, they're really pretentious.

Before listening: I'm only familiar with Van Halen's hits, there are bands from this era that I actively listen to way more, so I'm curious about what their debut is like.

After: For a debut rock album, this is pretty solid, usually it takes a few to find a decent set of tracks. The band are clearly very talented, but I don't think they'll ever be one of my favourites, which is ok. Overall a good time.

Currently around halfway and I'm finding it to be boring, which for an album that later got turned into a musical doesn't bode well.

Update: physically can't finish it, made it through the majority of it but I can't put myself through the rest
