Too self-indulget, too slow, and WAY TOO LONG. I've tried, because people say he's a genius, to "get" Kanye. But I just don't get him, I don't understand the appeal of the music.

I liked the songs POWER and Monster.
So there were a couple of bright spots on the album. Wasn't a fan, and/or activly hated the rest.

I wanted to like this album. I like reggae, but I feel like this was very light on the reggae. Just not a fan, overall.

I like but don’t love this album. A little more pop than Hole was in their earlier albums, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. Couple of GREAT songs, but some filler, too.

Two Iggy albums in my first 15! And both 5 stars for me.

Raw Power grabs you by the ears from the first song and never lets go.

The Kinks are just fun, and this album is no exception.

I don't think there was anything in this that I liked

Another Jazz album from the early 60s. It's probably great, and I wasn't bored with it on, but it's absolutly not my scene. I didn't hate it though, saving 1 stars for albums I hate.

My first 5 star. Classic and the first one since doing this that I put on again right after it was finished. Music by Bowie, lyrics by Iggy, what's not to like?

I knew, sorta, that Simple Minds was more than just the one mega hit which isn't on this album. But I had to do some reading to see just how big they were outside of the US.

That said, this album is fine. It's textured and the mix of guitars and synths are good. The lyrics are probably deeper than I give it credit for on one listen, but I just don't know how much I'll want to relisten to it.

A fun album. Pure 80s in album form. Some huge singles that everyone knows, and the other songs aren't bad either.

I wish this rating system was on a 10 star scale. This would be an easy 4.5. Can't give it a 5, becuase I'm saving them for the truly transformative albums, but it's more than the 4 it's getting.

It's fine. Monday Monday and California Dreaming are known songs and are good. The rest was just okay, to me.

Hey, I've heard this band before. Took 4 days to get to a band I know!

First time listening to a whole album straight through, though.

Toe-tapping fun! I think I like late 70s/early 80s New Wave. I don't know if I knew that Rock Lobster was that long of a song.

It’s good, very good even. But I’m just not that into jazz. I could see putting it on in the background of a fancy cocktail party!

Second album in a row with not lyrics, so that’s not great for me!

Is it a novelty album? Maybe. It's done well, but I just don't see myself going back and listening to this one.

I get that it's included because it's so heavily sampled, but it's not really for me. A couple of songs you say, hey, I know that one, or I know that beat, etc. But it's not really an album if you ask me.

My first album with this site. New to me, but a real good one to start with. Mellow dream-pop and real easy to listen to.
