Not really my style, but it was fine. Seems like this album might be more notable for the cover artwork.

Such a fun album. This is one of the best hip hop albums out there. The mixture of styles, instruments, guest artists and lyrical topics make for a spectacular listen.

Couldn’t get this album on my streaming service, but I listened to the other strange cargo albums. Not really my thing - repetitive 80s electronica.

I don’t understand French, but this one had great grooves all the way through.

There are some good moments, but this one has always been too sleepy for my taste.

I bet this would be a really fun band in a bar. Eileen is a classic, the rest is fun but unremarkable.

Solid hip hop. Not my favorite Public Enemy album, but a good one. I’d go 3.5 if I could.

Meh, pretty boring 90s electronica.

If this guy was playing a dive bar, I would have walked out. His singing voice is just really poor.

Total classic hip hop. Great vibes all the way through.

Couple of standout tracks, especially Jane Says. Fun, loud and creative album. I bet this really stood out in the late 1980s.

I really appreciate something different on this list, and this one qualifies. There are some brilliant moments buried by intentionally poor recording and a need to end songs prematurely. Man, if this was recorded normally and edited down to about 12 fully realized 3 minute tracks, this might be one of those albums that everyone you know owns. Since it isn’t that, I think it’ll just be a music nerd’s go-to album for impressing non-musical types.

I have never understood this band. It almost feels like a parody of other better bands.

Seems like Bowie usually hits four stars for me. Fun one.

Still finding their footing, but there are hints of what was to come. Amazingly different time in music.

I definitely appreciate hearing this album for the historical significance. I’d never even heard of this band before. That said, probably not coming back to this one.

The first couple tracks were fun and funky. Then, it goes full 8 minute track jam band mode. Too bad.

I had never heard of this band before. I was pretty well entertained throughout. Fun, new wave style.

The front half is fun, even if the recording quality isn’t great. The second half kind of lost me with one ballad after another.

I had never heard this one. A couple tracks were nearby unlistenable, but there were some good atmospheric fuzzy moments too.
