This week I'm receiving a lot of family pairs albums and this is an interesting situation because on one side is very easy to know the influences of family in some songs, but some other times they look like opposite works (with also makes sense).

Independently of family structures, I liked a bit of this album, but it is too much longer and starts to be annoying after the first 5 songs.

I believe that the beauty of this album resides in the fact that it sounds like the coolest 80's punk and new wave, but in 1977. I'm not sure if it could be considered the precursor of anything special, but for sure it influenced a lot of people that are much more famous for being precursors of this song style.

In short, a very cool album with cool songs that sounds much more modern than 1977. This list is working like a charm for my objective of discovering new things that I barely knew that I want to discover.

This was an unexpected surprise. I didn't like all the songs, but the whole album is great.

I think that this is the first absolutely unknown for me that really deserved 5 stars.

Electronic music is definitively not my cup of tea...However, after listening to it over and over again on this list, I kinda see what makes this type of song important for the music history and concepts at all.

At least, this album is not completely annoying

When I got this album, I just thought "Ok...let me listen to this 1-star album"...

However, after listening to the whole album, I was kind of hypnotized by this noise ambiance song with dirty guitars....so, 2 stars are enough for the power of hypnotizing songs, and maybe this is the reason to include the album on this list.

I didn't find anything special about this album. It's nice and chill, but nothing more than that.

This is good enough to keep my comments on me and just give it 5 stars

I was expecting too much from this release. It's nice since I already assumed that Bob Dylan is beyond my comprehension, so I can say that the album is not as remarkable as I thought. It's good, sure, but lower expectations could be a good approach to listen to it in 2022 when Bob Dylan is already a Nobel-prized author with so many expectations over his songs.

The twist acoustic/electric between the two discs is something strong.

Since I know that this album is the "worst" on the list according to the users, I was expecting something really bad, but I didn't find it.

It's a strange experience? Sure, but it's not bad, it's just different. I'll give it 4 stars not because I really liked it (it's too much for my taste), but I believe that discovering this kind of thing, even when I don't like it, is one of my main objectives using this site (Electronic music does not count :-P). To list Beatles and Beach Boys again, I really don't need to use any site.

This album is much more interesting than I thought when I got it on this list. Maybe too much longer or too much stranger to being a real good album, but it's for this kind of thing that this list exists, right?

I'll probably listen to it again someday in the future...maybe with more preparation, I'll be able to understand its strangeness and enjoy it.

I didn't get anything special from this record. It's cool, but nothing special at all.

I received "Faith" early this month on this list and while it is "basic", I can get what makes it a classic by its influence on modern pop. This one here it's still "basic", but much more boring.

I got the importance of it for George Michael's career and Freedom is an anthem impossible to dislike, however, it's impossible for me to like a whole album based on this only song.

How to sound exactly like ANY OTHER hard rock band: A handbook

By coincidence (I guess) I got 2 albums from previous NWA members in sequence (Ice Cube's "AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted" and this one).

This experience let me think about how these two albums are influential for the modern hip-hop culture and how they both sound a bit repetitive after the first songs but also gave to me the perspective on how much this one is better than the Ice Cube's first solo album, even suffering from the same "drawbacks".

Dr. Dre brings much freshness to his songs and lets them sound much more atemporal. This is remarkable in this first release.

I got the importance of this album for modern hip-hop and its songs are really cool. A little bit repetitive, but still cool!

It looks much better as an idea than an actual result.

Basic indie rock with

I hate the fact that this is an excellent album.

I have some bad vibes with "Yeah Yeah Yeahs" for no good reason. However, listening to this album was a good experience to remember that rock could be just fun, even when the song themes are not exactly about funny things.

I really liked it!

This is the best Dylan that I got here at this project until now, but I'm wondering that, at the end of the day, I don't like so much of Bob Dylan as I thought.

I know that probably is some kind of a crime somewhere in the world, but I prefer his "rock" songs (like some in this album) over his "folk" ones, that is the majority of his work.

Maybe, listening to it some other times brings to me new perspectives and I change my mind, but I like this very much of this Dylan album exactly because it sounds less like Bob Dylan for me.

What is pop? This is absolutely pop, but not the low-level pop.
These songs are the greatest pop that I've known.

+1 point for this project to show me this album.
