Cool hardcore rock album. Has the perfect level of 90s angst.

Never been the biggest Aerosmith fan but I thoroughly enjoyed this album

This album has one of the strongest intro/outro combos imo. I’m particularly fond of It’s Your World, feels like a summation of the album in its entirety

I understand Elvis's inclusion on the 1001 list. Even as a self-professed Elvis-hater, I can at least see the merit in his inclusion. But why this album? Surely there were other musicians doing far more interesting projects in 1969 no?

As for this album, it's bland and inoffensive; the best I can really say for Elvis. Not something I would ever revisit in full. Gentle On My Mind is the only song I honestly enjoyed.

decent as far as new waves goes

sonically rich and dense, but it’s also repetitive as hell. paper planes is great tho

surprisingly decent electronic album. a bit repetitive at times, but i suppose that’s par for the course when it comes to this genre

I Believe in a Thing Called Love was the only song I was familiar with, and truth be told I never knew what album it was off of, much less the band who made it, until today. Solid early 2000s hard rock, nothing I’d actively seek out but something I’d listen to in passing.

the singing is quite dry, but everything else is pretty cool. perfect music to sleep to (derogatory)

first time ever listening to a u2 album the whole way through. always been lukewarm on the radio singles, and i feel the same with this album. the intro is great, no doubt about that, but nothing really left a lasting impression on me outside of that

every outkast album stands on its own when it comes to the production side. nothing feels rehashed, everything has a freshness.

these guys wear their influences on their sleeves, all while putting their own spin/flavor on it. i’m especially fond of the funk influence that permeates the entire album.

dre and big boi deliver another classic

not a fan of the vocals

started out really strong, but kind of tapered off in the second half. cool production, feels like modern 80s synthpop

always been a sucker for this type of folk rock

their best album, second only to …And Justice for All

cant argue with a good christmas album on christmas

an electronic album that’s unbearably long. name a more iconic duo

solid album

what is the instrument you hear on 90s rap albums ? a synth? a keyboard of some sort? whatever it is, need it injected into my veins.

the pharcyde is a group i knew of (mostly their biggest hit, Runnin’) but never dove into for reasons still unknown to me. glad my introduction was through their debut. it’s a solid effort. lively production with verses to match. love how animated these guys sound. i wish some of the interludes were their own full songs (especially Pack the Pipe)

definitely something i’ll be revisiting.

shows it’s age production wise, but it’s a well made album. was not expecting the edge of seventeen sample on Bootylicious
