New to me, and musically a little more interesting than I expected. Some nice arrangements. Long, and at least one song on here I never need to hear again.

I think this is a really nice album, I enjoyed it, but admittedly I need to spend a little more time with the lyrics. It’s probably better than a 3 but it needs a few more listens.

Not much to say about this one that hasn't already been said. The musicianship is great, and the concept, the continuous work of music, and the production take the experience over the top.

Quite the album, a lot going on. Don't try to do anything else while listening. It's an objectively good album that commands your attention, not a casual listen.

People like to drag this album because it’s overplayed, but it’s one solid gold hit after another. Sometimes this is just what you want to listen to.

It's a cool album with a great concept, it's just too long. There are some great songs on here. From the standpoint of a whole album, it's a little challenging for me.

What a great funk album, love it start to finish.

They really put together some great sound. Not always what I’m looking for, but can’t deny it’s all well put together.

A great album. It's a little slow at times and the lyrics can be gut wrenching (though very good). Something different, wouldn't listen to it all the time, but it's very good.

Just not my thing.

Another great Stevie album. Although not as high on the list for me as some of the other work, great songwriting and great music.

I thought this album was pretty good. It seems to get a lot of hate in the reviews but I don't know if the comparisons to other artists are fair. Yes the songwriting isn't 5 star, but it's kind of funky and easy to listen to.

Great album, so many popular songs, and a sound unique to the band. Open with a lot of space for each musician to shine. It can become a little grating over time, but it's a good one to put on every now and again for something different.

I've come to like a lot of the Bowie albums on the list, but this certainly is behind all the others I've listened to so far. It starts off good, but the second half is just a little too ethereal, too spacious for me, and it was quite a lot to sit through, wondering how long it was going to go on.

Interesting one, couldn't quite pin down a genre they seemed to shapeshift a bit from song to song, which I don't mind. Some good stuff, and a few that dragged on a bit, it's a solid album.

I think this is the last of the Smiths albums on the list for me. Relatively unfamiliar with them before the list, I have mixed feelings in general, but this is a very good album and certainly the one of the bunch that captured my attention the most.

I liked this quite a bit more than I thought I would. While there are some strange parts and some sections that just take me out of the album, there is good writing and some interesting elements that I did enjoy.

Of course it’s going to be a fun, silly album with Alice Cooper, but I did not expect it to be as musically interesting as it was. Definitely going to get some re-play.

Fun, very 60s album. The Wolf of Velvet Fortune is a very cool song.

Good album. Not really in the wheelhouse of what I typically listen to, but I appreciate the work.
