Why? is my question when I tried to understand the purpose of this album and how they fit in any category between alternative hip-hop and indie rock (according to the Wikipedia page). Just strange compositions with not-so-good and repetitive production.

While this album is certainly important, it feels more like an attempt to replicate the success of "The Fame," which has already been included by another user. I think that Lady Gaga's more recent albums would be better choices for the list, since they bring fresher songs and some novelty.

It's not the perfect Weezer album to me, but it's still great

Hard to say how much this album is common. A complete by-the-book rock album and quite soulless to me.

Not perfect, but it's so refreshing and energetic that it deserves a second listening later. I'll keep an eye out for their new releases.

I swear I listened to it fully 2 days ago, but it's totally gone from my mind now. It means something, right?

Enjoyable, but not especially good.

Yeah, the original list, which contains at least 10 country albums per decade, was really missing one from the XXI century. I assume I enjoyed this one a bit, but it's as tiring as almost all country albums have been since forever.

An ok album, but I didn't see anything special about it.

I don't think I needed a weird Bob Dylan today.

Truly far from being a great album, but funny enough to deserve a quick listening session. Point for it for being a relatively short album.

It was the first time I really enjoyed an unequivocal country album. Point to the user's list since all the country mess in the original list never gave me the same good feeling.

I can see the novelty and how they were ahead of their time, but I didn't like listening to it in 2026.

The classic curse of being an innovator: its imitators and successors surpass it.

Mac DeMarco is one of those singers/bands that become to me almost like a joke/internet meme and it's funny to discover that they actually exist and have real albums.

Good instruments, bland album.

This is not the worst thing I have received on the list, but it isn't very pleasant. Except for the last song, it looks like a long song with no variance and a soulless feel.

I'm so sorry, but no

Sometimes I forget how pleasant it is to listen to something so refreshing (even when hypercharged with samples and references). It will not become one of my favourite albums, and maybe I don't even give another of their albums a chance, since electronic music is not exactly the kind I love. However, the enjoyment of discovering new and creative stuff resonates a lot with me.

I can get the value of this release, and it was nice to know about it. I can see echoes of our time and trends (lo-fi production and aesthetics, sounds of electronic devices, and short samples are the ones that stood out most to me).

However, maybe for being a 2016 album, I guess a lot of other artists already did the same and did it much better, so it ends up becoming a strange kind of album that is at the same time ahead of its time and sounds so outdated that it becomes annoying.

No matter what I think about it, it already deserves one extra star for giving me the opportunity to know a bit more about a Danish band. I enjoyed the album a lot, especially the banger "She Spider," which made me almost dance while listening.

Except for the last song, it's a bland, country blues-ish album with little to offer. I can't say I disliked it, but I can ensure that I won't remember it tomorrow.
