This is the Hole album that I really like. Less poppy, more crunchy, grungy sounding.

Very Nirvana-ish with it's start/stop songwritting and quiet/loud parts. And I love Nirvana, so it's not a stretch to like this one a lot, too.

Call me an ugly American, but I have a strong, strong preference to music that's in English. So something that isn't in English has to REALLY grab my attention if I'm going to enjoy it at all.

Well, this grabbed my attention, but in all the wrong ways. The vocals are super annoying, and the entire album is repetitive. Maybe it's amazing and I just don't have the musical vocabulary to enjoy it. But to say I did not enjoy it would be an understatement.

Maybe it was because I was 9 or 10 when this album was getting MASSIVE airplay and especially on MTV, but this one, and their follow-up Get A Grip were in heavy rotation in my house when they came out. Neither album is terrific, not by any means, but sometimes it's nice to sit down and just enjoy an album that's not trying to be the next big thing, just trying to rock the way the band knew how to. Though, to be honest, I would put Get a Grip on before this one if I was going to listen to just one.

Still say that Bob Dylan can flat out tell a story with his lyrics. This is a very good album, and the more I listen to Dylan, the more I like him.

Good fun dirty rock n roll. A lot of covers, some new songs. Strychnine is a banger. Really enjoyed listening to this album I wasn’t familiar with!

I have heard for years how amazing, groundbreaking, influential, and brilliant this album is. And .... I just don't get it. Maybe it's because I'm not really a fan of music made up of samples, and that's what this is. It's fine, and I get why it's on the list, but I have no desire to listen to it again.

I have listened to this album 10,000 times because my sister played it that many times when we were in high school, but I probably haven't heard it all the way through in 20 years. The first song is brash and abrassive and almost makes me turn it off. But after that it settles into an album of hit after hit, and I enjoyed listening to it again after all these years.

I know that the Eagles are a very divisive band. There is a massive amount of hate, some that I understand, a lot that I just think is "cool" to have (read the reviews on this site, most of them reference "The Dude." Try to have your own opinion on something. And at the same time, while it's cool to hate them, they have one of the best selling albums of all times with their Greatest Hits album,

The three singles on this album are all amazing. The rest of it is just okay. A little torn as to what to rate this album because I would listen to Take it Easy, Witchy Woman, and Peaceful Easy Feeling at any time. The rest of the songs are nothing to write home about, but I also wouldn't turn them off if they were on, they're just sort of forgettable. While if I was going to listen to The Eagles again, I would probably just put on their Greatest Hits album, this one still was a better overall album than I expected,

Just no. It’s boring, his voice is super annoying, and it’s just so bland and forgettable. It’s not offensive, but it is not good, either.

Pretty good 2000s era indie rock. I don’t love it but I’ll gladly listen to it again

I really wanted to like this more than I did. It’s bookended by absolute stellar songs, but the middle is forgettable blues rock. Not bad, by any means, but not great either. Just ho-hum for me.

Of the electronic albums I've listened to (which is, admittedly, not a lot) this is my favorite. The album is structured more like a rock album, and it sounds as much like the mid 90s as a SoCal ska album would.

I'm still not a huge fan of this particular genre, but this album I like.

Nothing here I hated. But absolutly nothing here I liked, either.

Good to great first half, meh second half. I really liek Bowie but the more of his albums I listen to, the more I think I really like Greatest Hits Bowie.

It's noisy, driving rock, but I can listen to over and over again. This is just a great album and probably Sonic Youth's best.

Although everytime I listen to Sonic Youth I can hear Ellen Page telling Jason Bateman that "Sonic Youth is just noise!"

It's simply not for me. I just don't like this kind of music, no matter how much I listen to it. I can recognize that there is some real musical talent here, but it's just an absolute slog to get through.

I didn’t connect with this at all. It was so boring. I cannot fathom why I had to hear this one.

An album I wanted to like more than I did. It was fine, but it was so of it's time that it's a little hard to listen to now. My kids thought it was funny, but I don't think it's supposed to be a comedy album.

This is exactly the type of country music I don't like.

It seems good. I would be very happy if this was the background music in a restaurant with servers who barley spoke English.

I have no frame of reference to if it's any good or not, because it's not my normal thing. But I didn't dislike listening to it.
