Perfectly pleasant to listen to. Loved some of the guitars, just no real memorable song for me.

At least I have had it finally confirmed for me that Cars are, in deed, actually Cars.

Pretty rubbish to be honest. Didn't see the appeal of any of these songs but there was some nice guitars.

Could possibly improve with a second listen but that won't happen any time soon.

Pretty good all round. Nostalgic to me as well. I wouldn't saying the singing/lyricism makes this album worthy of a classic though. My wife was very annoyed by Romy's bad singing habits which are very hard to unhear.

Some nice songs in there. Good work with guitar and banjo which is nice to listen to.

Shame about the guy.

A classic for sure. Lots to love. A bit of meh sprinkled in there as well. Love the guitar work, it laid the groundwork for a lot of bands to come!

Yeah this was a good listen. I liked the vocals up until the last song. He's a lot better at singing nowadays.

Got a lot of feel and oomph from just a guitar and a few synths. Good stuff.

Rated 10/10

Sounds absolutely immaculate. Even when the songs aren't 100% your bag, you have to admit that the production is surely up there for GOAT.

Loved it.

Rated 8/10

Preferred the Nicks songs over the Buckingham songs. Still a good listen overall. Sara was the standout for me, really caught my ear and was an earworm for a bit.

Liked hearing Fleetwood Mac do something different as well.

Rated 6/10

Not much to get my teeth into after the first two tracks.

But some interesting (and variable in quality) production, pleasant vocals and cool guitar.

I'm very grateful that Dave Grohl carried on making rock music.

This album seems like a transition from his previous life to his current one and although there are some great moments, particularly near the start of the album, it's not REALLY engrossing.

Rated 10/10

Outstanding.

It just sinks its teeth into from the first chords and doesn't let go.

Some good, classic songs like Under The Bridge and Give It Away which I've always liked.

But my god is it difficult listening to these lyrics from a self-admitted nonce. I really wanted this album to end about 30 minutes sooner than it did.

Great beats, considered rhymes. Very good.
