At points this sounds incredible and at others it’s a boring slog. I think the rapper’s voice is the main issue. It’s monotonous and not particularly engaging

This albums weird. The whole time I was waiting for it to be charmingly weird but it never was. I like some of the tunes but the whole thing is understated.

More like Led Zeppelin 3 stars

Not as good as the other album I reviewed of his. This one sort of sounds weirdly bad. There’s a really dated organ and it’s just more reggae.

A real bummer because it doesn’t have the same nightmarish noise the other album on this list does. This is still good it just sorta blends in with the rest of new wave at the time.

This is almost in so bad it’s good territory. But uh. No it’s one of the worst things I’ve ever heard in my life

I think this album suffers from context. I should be listening to this in a club or roller rink, I should be imbibing some kind of psychoactive substance, I shouldn’t be listening to this at work. It really would make the 8 minute repetitive intro track tolerable.

Media literacy is truly dead given the amount of people who hear this album and think it’s somehow celebrating the lyrical content? The main character of the album is a piece of shit. He’s like a child, hence the album cover.

This album makes me deeply uncomfortable. I hate the main character, he’s a pig, he says horrible things. And it’s great. It actually elicits an emotional response while also sounding catchy.

When they do weird things, like the trumpet in the first song or a song about a quasar, it’s excellent. When they’re just doing generic 60s rock, it’s fine.

Uh…I don’t mind the vocals so much as a find the lyrical content fucking lame. And I just got so tired of it. At least spice things up.

There’s a dude on here who’s favorite album is Kid A and he submitted a fucking Bjork album and went on this diatribe about how special he is for not liking this album and I’ve never wanted to give a person a swirlie more. What a fucking nerd.

I’m not gonna pretend this is a perfect album. But it is fucking good. It’s catchy. It’s FUN! You’re allowed to have FUN YOU FUCKS.

It’s good! But it also feels really out of place in hip hop. Here’s this legacy act making REAL hip hop! None of this…Lil Wayne shit

Of the post Beatles albums that are on this list, this one is probably the best. It’s tight and catchy. There’s a couple of self indulgent songs on here that are too…blegh…

The amount of times I sighed as a realized early on this was going to be 5 stars for me. Who are these guys? How do they have 4k monthly listeners, most of whom must be from this site. How come they broke up? Oh, allegations? Dropped allegations. Why are they in the book? What happened. Begrudgingly though I love this. So ya know. Whoopie!!!

I don’t like it. I think her voice isn’t interesting and the lyrics are so basic and often just dumb.

Beautiful, fantastic, album cover taught me about the great artist Jo Mora love it

This is one of those albums that I hated the first time I heard it and I was firmly in the Pavement is overrated camp. And then I kept listening to it and realized I loved it. I have no idea why but hey some things defy explanation

My expectations were in the dirt and it really surpassed them. I think what shocked me is how the beats don’t sound THAT dated. So much hip hop from that era sounds awful. This album occasionally dips into that soundscape but mostly sounds good. I just got tired of it as it went on. 50’s voice doesn’t really carry an album of this length.

Really great album. There are soundscapes on here I should hate but they really work. He’s able to take some real terrible 1970s motifs and make them tolerable. The thing keeping it from a 5 are those songs. I’d rather they not be on here. If you just kept the weird fun tracks this would be a tighter better album. It’d be like a weird Brian Eno thing instead of a singer songwriter trip

This was a lot more fun and far out than a lot of the other experimental albums out there. This one was actually music? In the sense that it was listenable and enjoyable
