ive heard this before and really enjoy the album. there is no bass in the mix which makes it feel thin and makes the runtime a bit of a slog. it deserves to lose a star or even two for the mixing but it still gets a five because it’s a classic and the first half of the album is so incredible

not on spotify but i wont hold that against it. i found it pretty easily on youtube-though i wish that i hadnt. if you make the same mistake of listening to it, be sure to turn on incognito mode so youtube doesn't recommend you more of this lifeless drivel.

overall pretty enjoyable. theres a few really great tracks on here but for the most part everything kind of blended together which started to get repetitive toward the end of the runtime.

not the best beatles album by a long shot but still better than 85% of the albums on this list. this album has some of the best individual tracks by the beatles but they are brought down by the filler songs that inflated the album length. the filler songs aren't even bad, but we didnt really need bungalow bill with while my guitar gently weeps right after it. this is an incredible album buried inside a good, very long one.

i hated this album the first time through and came in prepared to absolutely trash it. i put it on again this morning to remind myself what things i wanted to mention in my review and while skipping through i was surprised the amount of variation on the album. generally speaking i think the songs are still pretty terrible but some of the instrumentation is actually really good.

Rated 8/10

great beats, great rapping. as a whole its a bit bloated and the skits don't do it any favors.

going in only knowing one song by this band i have to say they defied my expectations in the best way. This is a wonderfully done bluegrass album and features some country/bluegrass legends. my main complaint is the length of this album. Being two hours doesn't lend itself well to listening through the full album. i split the album up and listened in two sessions and i think that allowed me to more fully enjoy it. my other complaint is the talking sections that pop up on the occasional track. if it was once or twice i wouldnt bring it up but it happened quite a bit and a few of the tracks were nothing but this in studio discussion. it was infrequent enough over the two hours that i wont ding them a star for it but it certainly detracts from the enjoyment of this otherwise great bluegrass album.

Rated 6/10

Significantly better than expected, still suffers from having Bono at the helm

Rated 8/10

Great instrumentation without much variation and long songs. Seems appropriate for the genre but it left me wishing for a radio edit. Still its hard to deny how good the grooves are.

this is the kinda thing im here for. not a fantastic album but it was a super fun listen. a bit chaotic at times with a fascinating use of different instruments

Rated 4/10
