What a joy! Dreamy and driving. I love the Iron Man cover.

Classic disco fun. Better to dance to this album than listen.

I was really into a few of the tracks in college, but this whole album rocks. So groovy and gritty!

One of those classic albums I started this project for. This is sassy and fun.

I’m not sure I “had” to listen to this but it was fine. Makes me excited for the Clash and Ramones records on this list.

Extremely beautiful and strange, music that will make you feel. People do not like Ahoni's singing, but I find it so unique and honest.

Absolutely beautiful music with rich instrumentation. What a joy to listen to.

Fun! Reminds me of a joyful video game soundtrack.

Looooove the beats engineered for this album. Definitely a top rap record. "Life's a bitch and then you die."

I had no idea what to expect but the intro into the first song hit the spot. Atmospheric, nostalgic. Songs too long for what they're trying to do.

Listening as someone who already loves this band. Makes easy jazz a little more interesting to listen to. Not my favorite album by this group but a good one.

I like this. It's fine, good listening while I work.

When I heard Constantinople, I thought "here we fucking go." But honestly, I couldn't stop listening! I love weird music and this is definitely the weirdest. Some of the same soundingness of the songs got boring. Agreed with some of the other listeners here that I'd rather more albums in this category of wacky shit than, say, 6 albums of Elvis Costello.

I lot of songs on here I knew without knowing. I love the vibe of the album and the songwriting.

Wow listening to his singing voice is a lot. But the sound and diction make his beautiful lyrics stand front and center. I like the sparse and jazzy instrumentation that set Cohen up.

Pleasant listening. Groovy, with lots of blues and folk influence. Some songs I skipped if Mick's singing was in no consequences territory.

I love some tracks on this one and have loved EC for years. Pump It Up is groovy and punky. I don't love Costello's singing voice and some of the tracks you feel like you're waiting for t hem to be over. I do find the lyrics super catchy, and often find myself saying "I don't want to go to Chelsea!" to myself.

I understand the cultural impact this group has had on music and the scene. I did find myself skipping through many of the numbers (probably because I was playing catch up from previous days!) The sound reminds me of playing Tony Hawk Pro Skater on PS2. Great, gritty sound. Some of the tracks I had a hard time sitting a listening to-too repetitive or the spoken interlude.

A couple songs on here I totally love, namely Sunday Bloody Sunday. A lot of the tracks I skipped through though.

Unfortunately very groovy with cutting lyrics. Coming a week after I listened to a Kendrick album, you don't have to look up the lyrics to hear what Eminem says or understand what he means. He is funny, horrifying and to the point.
