Groovy, could've been wilder though. Once again, a pretty average album, not truly worthy of a 3, but clearly not a 2 either. I don't particularly like or dislike any song, oh except sex machine, what's going on there? Why is he getting waterboarded at some point? Was he about to drop the heaviest bars known to mankind and was just silenced? Thirteen minutes is an egregious length for a song like that, so that's the only one I can say I hate (with a passion, actually), like if some day I get paralyzed from waist down and that song starts playing, I swear to god I'm crawling across the room to stop it.

P.S. As Cher and Future once said DIFFERENT STROKES FOR DIFFERENT FOLKS AND SO ON AND SO ON AND SCOOBY DOOBY DO (don't come for my neck i had no idea that was a real song until now).

didn't understand a single thing, but that's the same when it comes to songs in languages i don't understand and i still enjoy those as well

moral of the story: vibes are the only thing that matter in life

also that bell curve in the ratings is any statistician's wet dream, i haven't seen one so perfect thus far so i had to point it out

it's not BAD per se, but the whole album sounds like the most forgettable songs from the soundtrack of a quite recent (2010's up to now) movie/series

i get that there are people that enjoy this type of music, i do as well in some cases, but not this time

your next line is IS THIS A JOJO REFERENCE

so this album went double platinum, is critically acclaimed, and even won Finley an award, but it still does not seem influential in the way I would expect. even if I am not fond of an album, I can at least appreciate the impact it has had on the industry, but I just do not see that here. maybe it was more of a breakthrough in the UK? maybe my stupid eastern european brain just cannot comprehend that. still, I would not say this album is worthy of being on this list

this was kinda close to a 2 cuz the instrumental can be interesting. still, it lacks a lot, and if you are a nepo baby (a small one, but still), at least use your connections to make better music

please don't stone me to death, but i think it's quite enjoyable. first time ever listening to U2 so i was expecting to hate it a lot more based on what i'd heard

At first it wasn’t anything that special, kind of annoying vocals, but it got significantly better as it went on. I’d actually listen to some of these songs out of my own volition. Ok fine, this grew on me a bit too much, not a solid 4, but 3 feels a bit too low. There's some great stuff on here man.

Also, what’s going on with the cover? I hate it, yet I love it. It unsettles me, yet it intrigues me. It disgusts me, yet I can’t take my eyes off it. I don’t want it on my wall, I need it.

really solid album. i just don't understand why some people on here think it's such a crime to take inspiration from an older style of music. it's not "nostalgia baiting", it's putting your own spin on something, being creative, which is what music and art as a whole are all about

i can see the influence this album had on songs to come, but hip hop still isn't my thing, fun listen tho

PS i've just forgotten about killing stalking, guess my teenage years will haunt me forever

first of all why are they standing there like my sleep paralysis demons? the guys on the far left and far right would be great for some analog horror series on yt

looking at them, i feel like my soul is being searched, my deepest darkest fears unearthed; the cover is the only thing that actually evokes any kind of emotion in me, the songs not so much

not my favourite metallica album

don't have a lot to say since it hasn't given me much to begin with, it's just fine nothing special, it's kinda all the same over and over except one (yeah of course i picked the mainstream song hang me for it), to live is to die, blackened and maaaybe just maybe the track title if it weren't that long

i could never get behind the "classic rock album" thing, this is my first listen and i mean yeah, it's alright, but there's nothing special about it

best way to describe this would be: background music in a rundown pub, so in the context of downing a pint this could work, but i can't imagine any other situation in which i'd listen to this album in full again, just a few songs

at some point while listening to this, I started feeling the chilly breeze hitting my face as I watched over my farm at sunset from my humble porch, rocking back and forth in a chair with a glass of whisky in hand, my dog (a golden retriever named Buddy, obviously) lying at my feet, a single tear rolling down my cheek, thinking about the good old days and about my darling who'd left me for the big city life

i ain’t american, but this album and the imagery it gives me feel like peak southern culture

one of the few albums where i not only like every song, but also find it difficult to choose a favourite (fyi hallelujah is competing for last place)

and yeah, i get that music is subjective, but cmon guys so many 1 stars? have you heard any other albums from this book? if this is a 1, maybe a new scale should be invented for some of those "classics" i'm sure some of you gave 5 stars to just because you have such great taste

This would be fine if it were just a song not an entire album, not the worst but not close to mid either, as bland as my opinion on it.

No songs about buildings OR food. This is false advertising, I feel betrayed, mislead, toyed with, I want my money back.

not the biggest fan of this genre or live performances, but i'd still say this album is somewhere in the middle of the road

if it were longer, i think i'd lower the rating, but as it is, i'd say it's enjoyable at least for some background music unlike other albums on here
