It’s good. Portishead always feels like a dystopian movie soundtrack.

Good music, wild lyrics. An interesting listen.

Some good old thrash

Gotta give this one a 3 with some musically interesting elements that I enjoyed, offset by some wild lyrics.

Iconic album of the time, great concept.

Probably a lot of nostalgia in this, one of the first albums I remember hitting me, but you know exactly what you’re getting and it delivers all the way through.

Tremendous alt rock album

It’s a solid pop album

Great metal, I just can’t stand the vocals in this stuff.

Some great stuff on here, it seems for me a lot of the Velvet Underground albums are 50/50. Half I really like and half I'm not quite sure about.

I can see why the album would be easy to pass on, but as I was able to get in to it there really are some excellent parts. And its definitely different, which is part of the point of this list.

The more I relistened the more I enjoyed it, it really is a time capsule of the sound at the time. Feels like the soundtrack to an 80s drama.

Idk I’m sure I’m missing some important nuance or message but this is one of those rap albums that just blends in with all the rest.

Liked it quite a bit more than I expected. Songwriting is great.

Great album with a mix of genre's pulled in, the usual jazz/rock but some country music tones, some funky stuff, enjoyed it.

Thought this was pretty good, particularly for a live album, it’s extremely well produced. I waffle a bit on Morrison but I enjoyed this for the most part. Good to have on in the background and has a positive energy.

Interesting and important piece of work to include without a doubt. Is it the most enjoyable listen? It’s ok, sort of like 50 minutes of solo work from one of your favorite guitarists. Required listening that I may not go back to specifically for a replay, but that I can enjoy and appreciate when it shows up in other works.

A good album of the time but ending with Don’t really leaves a rough finish,

Fun album, paved the way for a lot of what was to come. Iconic tracks sampled in many future hits.

New to me, and thought it was pretty cool. Interesting mix of sounds and instruments, a little slow at points.
