i know this album is lauded by critics and fans alike, but i can’t say i fully understand the hype. it’s well made, and i don’t find it annoying, but i just don’t fully get it ig

i do not understand the arctic monkey hype

Starts out a lot stronger than it finishes. Enjoyed it more than Sister

Really enjoyed this

The guy who put this in the book deserves a swirlie. No, I will not listen to 3 1/2 hours of beep boop music

It’s alright. Don’t really understand the appeal if i’m being honest

Solid album

Don't think I've ever really understood the appeal to The Velvet Underground. Definitely cool and experimental for the time, but idk, just doesn't grab me

The first time I ever heard this album was when my dad took me to see Dweezil Zappa on tour, phenomenal album

Last 2 tracks are all time classics. Rest of the album is a bit dated, but i’ll let it slide since it’s a foundational hip hop album

masterpiece

Some really good songs mixed with some really meh tracks

classic r&b/soul

Wishing Well is an undeniable hit. Could go without the rest of the album tho

The first solo Beatle album I listened to way back in my high school Beatles phase. I specifcally remember hearing Band on the Run on the radio and saying "Gee that sounds just like Paul McCartney" and my mom going "...That's because it is". Went out to buy a copy on vinyl and the rest is history. Was blown away then, and still am to this day. Perfect intro/outro combo.

Picasso's Last Words is my sleeper pick for best on the album. I'm a sucker for a good medley (as is McCartney). Probably his best work post-Beatles

it’s okay. nothing i’d turn off if it came on, but very bland

Interesting album cover but it’s otherwise a dreadful listening experience

inoffensive yet unremarkable for me

starts and finishes strong, mid section is a bit weaker but overall a good album

Side 1 is stronger than side 2, but a good album nonetheless
