What an album! Two halves that are so different, but somehow work together perfectly.

So much effort to listen to this album. Which made it even more annoying that it’s just a bit rubbish.

Held my interest during its short run time. But won’t listen again

I can’t believe this is the best example of this kind of music. Every song felt the same and very uninteresting. Apple Music auto played the four tops straight after which I immediately liked more.

Maybe it would better if I heard the songs individually.

A few good tracks but for the most part bland and boring.

Decent album. Didn’t really stick with me

Not as good as I remember it being. Still a few great songs on here though

Such a great album, coming up to a scary 20 year anniversary (because it feels like it was five years ago).

I think everyone assumed that it couldn’t be the best Radiohead album because ok computer and kid an already existed. But the more you listen to it the closer it gets for me.

A contender for my favourite album of all time.

The wiki describes this as heavy thunderous blues that would later be described as heavy metal. And I would like to suggest we all start calling metal “thunder blues”.

In terms of the music itself. It was kinda interesting to listen to but can’t say I particularly enjoyed it.

Weird pick, just not a lot going on.

Hmm, a weird one to review. This isn’t anywhere near as good as I remember it being. It starts to come together in the second half but the whole thing seems a bit full of itself.

Adding in the weird vibe from the accusations surrounding Win Butler and I can’t imagine I’ll come back to this again.

Luckily I’ve discovered violator by Depeche Mode which is just better than this album anyway. So I don’t need to feel conflicted.

My favourite of the Byrds albums on this list so far.

Another uninspired electronic album from the early 2000s

A real mix of quality on this album. At times so jarring that I could really get into it.

Yup, this is an album you need to listen to before you die.

Quite a nice little album. Certainly never would have found it otherwise.

Quality is up and down a lot. I think there’s an excellent EP in here.

Lots of meh on this album. The one track everyone knows is inexplicably long. I had it on in the background and I was so confused when the main riff kicked back in I thought something had gone wrong.

Makes sense that this came out in 1990. It feels like the perfect version of the 80’s synth music.

I still don’t know what I think about this one.

Music before the Beatles continues to be odd. Enjoyed some of it in a chilled out background kinda way.
