Really good pop album, some standout songs. Cinnamon Girl is great

I love this album. You can see why it's considered an influence for like half of the bands that I consider now to be my favorites.
Had never heard this album before. I knew the opening track because it was on the High Fidelity soudtrack, but found I really liked the whole album.
Rated 6/10
It was fine. Nothing I really liked or disliked in this one. Forgettable
Rated 8/10
Was surprised by how much I enjoyed this album. Didn't know much about them, of course I've heard one or two of these songs before. But I liked it quite a bit.
Rated 4/10
Fairly forgettable. Great voice, but none of the songs grabbed me at all.
Rated 8/10
This is the Beck album I've listened to the most after Odeley. It's full on singer/songwriter Beck and I really enjoy it.
Side note - I think this is the only album I ever had on SACD. I couldn't tell the difference.
Rated 8/10
While I'm still waiting for some Ziggy Stardust Bowie to show up on the list, this might be my favorite of the Bowie we've gotten so far. Even the weird stuff in the second half worked for me. It's not an album I would put on often, but it's good.
Rated 2/10
I really hate Slipknot. The drums, like the other Slipknot album, are amazing. But everything else is a dumpster fire and I cannot believe that there are two of these albums on this list when one was way, way to many.
Rated 8/10
Lots of great harmonies. A nice and pleasant album to listen to.
I really like listening to the Talking Heads. This album is one I need to listen to more. The Take Me to the River cover is great.
Rated 6/10
It was just okay. Queen doesn't seem to have great albums, just great songs, and I don't know if there were any great songs on this one for me.
It started off pretty strong. I'm thinking that Zappa didn't like Hippies very much. But the back half of the album sort devolved into something that was too experimental for me. But the good outweight the bad, I think. Tough one to rate.
Rated 2/10
Wainright might have the most annoying voice I've heard since the last Bjork album I listened to. It starts off with an absolutly terrible crappy "song" (I'm not sure I even want to call it that) and doesn't get much better the rest of the way. An entrie album of completely boring tracks sung by a whiny bitch.
Rated 6/10
Whoops, missed rating this one. It's Rush, so it's going to be really good musicianship. The first half is better than the second, by a lot.
Rated 4/10
Cypress Hill was one of the worst live acts I've ever seen (and it might not have been their fault, being the inbetweener set between MxPx and The Offspring makes no sense.)
I didn't really find much in this album for me. It's fairly repetitive and mostly uninteresting.
Rated 8/10
Really surprised by how much I liked this album. I don't know much about Van Morrison outside of his few hits. But this whole album works. Good stuff here.
Rated 6/10
This one is pretty weird. But not always in a terrible way, though at times it's pretty rough. But some things on it did resonate fairly decently and it wasn't a complete waste.
Rated 8/10
Not a band or album I was familiar with, at all. But this was really interesting and I think I liked it a lot!
Rated 4/10
I know I'm supposed to like this album. People lose their shit over it all the time. I just didn't care, and I found it completely boring. It's just not for me, and I'll take the hit for not being able to appreciate it.
