Beneath the irony and silly voices, there’s some really incredible music here. A lot of it feels like an acquired taste

“There's an old joke - um... two elderly women are at a Catskill mountain resort, and one of 'em says, "Boy, the food at this place is really terrible." The other one says, "Yeah, I know; and such small portions." Well, that's essentially how I feel about life - full of loneliness, and misery, and suffering, and unhappiness, and it's all over much too quickly.”
-Woody Allen

I try so hard to enjoy LED Zeppelin, but I just can’t get over that awful squawking, moaning voice. The greatest rock band in history, ruined by horrible singing.

I really love the atmosphere, production, and theme of this album. Really fun to listen to and shows you what rap music can be. These guys were all so young it’s crazy. I like ODB’s funny voice

This was good but I wasn’t really in the mood for it

I like a lot of other Elvis Costello albums, but this one was fairly forgettable. Sort of like if someone made an album trying to be Elvis Costello

Good, but ultimately forgettable

A fantastic album with really great genre crossing. Mark is a guitar genius. I was hoping for more doodo doo. Doot dot doo (doo do)

Excellent album. Stevie is a fixture in pop culture and it’s clear why. I had only been familiar with superstition from this album but there’s gem after gem here

Another day, another good album that I’ll never listen to again

This project is fun because you get to listen to an album you’ve never heard before and will never hear again.

A perfect expression of Nirvana’s music. The originals are laid bare and raw, and the covers truly shine here. No skip, perennial relisten, perfection.

Really sick album, felt like a ps2 racing game in the best way. Fire album cover too

I did like this one. Steve Albini is a racist pos though and the first song is about raping a child so that’s kind of weird

This is the best album by probably my favorite rock band of this era. I love every part of every track. Keith Moon’s drumming is absolutely incredible, he plays it like a lead instrument. Pete Townsend seems like his dream was to write broadway musicals, but he was cursed with being a rock star. Truly perfect

Like Straight Outta Compton, a lot of what Ice Cube does flow wise feels pretty dated, but he isn’t propped up by E and Dre here and the album is weaker for it. However, the emotion is here and cube has a lot to say about a lot of important things.

This album really is amazing. Eazy E is so sick and Dr Dre might be actually the goat. I love how raw and emotional it is, even if the style is a bit dated

This album completely blew open my expectations of what Motown music could be. The first 3 tracks were entirely different from what I expected. I love soul music

Quite horrible. Maybe it would be good at a ren faire or some other joking event

Somehow both extremely bland and cloyingly sweet at the same time
