I didn't like this one anywhere near as much as The Last Broadcast. Nothing wrong with it, but no desire to revisit anytime soon, either.

I really enjoyed the first half of this album. Lots of singles that I've heard (sometimes a lot) but sounded real good listening with a purpose the first time. But the second half of the album is pretty bad, and drags a lot.

Might be a fun album to get on vinyl and only listen to side A.

I really wasn't a fan of this album. Maybe one or two listenable songs, but overall not for me at all.

I enjoyed this one quite a bit. Guitar is excellent.

Maybe I was in the perfect mood for this album, but I had a damn good time listening to it. It's just fun, through and through.

I want to have a party where we serve Jello Molds, some sort of champagne cocktail out of a punch bowl, and have this album playing in the background.

If the album was full of songs like Superstitious, it would be a 5* album.

But it's not. There are probably 3 or 4 songs on here that I really like a lot. But the rest I really don't like, and some of them I don't like a lot, too. So I guess that all averages out to an average album.

I knew nothing of this album before listening. And I started off thinking that it could be really good. I dug the first few songs, maybe even the first half.

But it got very tedious in the second half and I just didn't enjoy it that much after that.

I might listen to this one again, but not soon.

I don't think I've given a single Bob Dylan album a 5. Almost all 4s. And that's just not right, I think they've all been about 4.5 for me. Which this one is to.

So I'm going to round this one up to a 5. It's really good. And for a double album, there's no filler on here that drags a lot of double albums down.

I really like some B.B. King and this album is very good. I found that the mix was a little weird, the crowd noise was too high at times. I want to hear the music, not the audience. The music is really good, though, and I will listen to this one again.

Didn't know anything about this band, or any of these songs. But I liked what I heard. I'll listen to this one again and was glad to be introduced to something new.

Read any other review of Morrissey. It's good. I have to be in the right mood, but if I am, it's good.

As far as I’m concerned Cee-Lo Grren has one listenable song. And it’s not on this album.

So in the words of Mr Green himself
“Fuck You”

Not a bad album. Some really good songs. A few songs are a little bit of a drag, too. But the interludes are terrible, and take me out of the listening experience. May have been a 4 star album without them (and maybe without one or two of the slower full on 80s/90s R&B songs in the back half of the album.)

I probably haven't listened to this one in 30 years, and it might be that long before I listen to it again.

Started off not liking the album much. Then there were a couple or three songs in the middle that I sort of liked and though, maybe this isn't that bad. Then it kept going. And going. It's not the worse album I've heard, but I will never put it on again, either.

I was surprised by how much I liked this one. Sort of gave me Coldplay vibes without Martin's annoying voice, but with interesting songs. I'll probably listen to this one again, seemed like a solid album on first litsen.

Tough one to rate. I can appreciate how good the funk parts of this are, and some of the bass lines were really great. But I really didn't like it. Had a hard time finishing it.

This is probably the Elliott Smith album I'm least familiar with, but it doesn't make it any less amazing. Like his other efforts that I am more familiar with, it's filled with pretty yet sad lyrics accompanied mostly by an acoustic guitar (though there are quite a few more instruments on this album than my more favorite of his offerings.)

Going to make sure I listen to this one more often.

I've been listening to Cat Stevens since I was a kid. And while he's always been pleasant, and maybe the very embodiment of soft rock, he didn't speak to me as a kid or even a teenager.

But as I got older, and started revisiting him in my early 20s and into my 30s, I found that there was depth to the seemingly simple melodies. And now that I'm in my 40s with two kids, I'm starting to realize my parents might have had pretty good taste in music.

I didn't like the start of this album. Not sure why this was considered a good enough live album to be included. There was a stretch of songs from Cowboy Song to Don't Believe a Word that were very strong, but I don't think it was enough for me to really want to put this album on again.

I may check out other Thin Lizzy album releases out of curiosity, so that's not a bad thing.

So I'm apparently a really big Creedence fan. I've always liked what I've heard on the radio but the rest of the songs are great, too.

I think Cosmo's Factory might be a little bit better, but I'm still going to give this one the highest of ratings.
