I was really surprised by this album, thinking I was going to hate it based on the type of music I read it was. But I found it to be fairly enjoyable, although at little disjointed and, at times, a little long. I may have to revist this one.

I really liked some of the harmonies and the guitar work. But I have to be honest, I got a little bored with it at times. It's not bad, not at all. But there's other folk I would put on before this one.

It's what happens when you cross 80s pop with Wagner chants. And it's just as strange as you would think it would be. But just because it's strange does not make it good. And I really didn't enjoy it at all.

I kept waiting for it to get ANY better. And it never does. When the children’s choir is one of the better points, you have a dud of an album.

I really like this album. British version of that mid 2000s rock. Biggest knock I have against the Arctic Monkeys is that everything they've done (that I've heard) sounds pretty much the same, BUT, this is the first time they did it that way and I like it.

I didn't know that Heard it through the Grapevine was 11 minutes long. Or that I wanted to hear an 11 minute version. I think it might be the first CCR album I've listened to all the way through and I thought it was a greatest hits album. Just really really good.

This album is just excellent. The poetry of the lyrics paired with the stripped down guitar gives the album intimacy, like you're in the room with Smith as he's singing about the sad things in life. I really love this one.

I thought this was fine. Nothing stood out but I didn't dislike it, either. Would maybe listen to it again.

It's very 90s but seems fairly generic 90s. It's fine, I'd listen to it again, maybe, but I won't search it out to put on.

Not sure why this is on the list or why I had to listen to it. Every song sounds the same, and they're not anything I would ever choose to listen to again. Except the spoken word H2Ogate which at least sounded different (but still wasn't good.)

I really liked the raw vocals of Smith and enjoyed listening to this album.

It's impossible to deny how good the production is, and anytime Snoop comes on it's usually a pretty good time. But I found myself bored at times with it, and the sameness of the lyrics and messages. And the skits are terrible.

Have yet to be proven wrong. The first 4 Zep albums are all 5 stars.

I thought this was just okay. Fine, nothing really exciting here for me.

I liked it. Blue is better, this is more of a 3.5 but I'll round up.

I liked this one a bit more than Ritual De Lo Habitual. Seemed a little more even throughout and I didn't dislike half of it. Would listen to this one again.

First few songs were very strong. I could see them on a playlist of other easy listening songs and fitting in quite nicely. Then it got a little weird in the middle and end.

Not terrible, but I thought it started out stronger than it finished.

Seems like this should've shown up on my radar at some time in the past, but it never did. I really liked it to start, but by the end the vocals started to grate on me a bit.

This is one of the higher jazz ratings I think I'll give. I liked some of it, I enjoyed the in and out of the song length, and I liked the nostalgia that it brought of listening to this with my grandfather.

All that said, I can't ever see putting it on again for no reason.

I enjoyed this one more than I expected too. Maybe a little long in parts, but overall, I quite enjoyed it. The lead singer's voice is a little whiny but he at least puts some emotion into it.
