It’s a damn good rip off of 70s funk

I don’t think I get Elliot Smith. Like I get this is supposed to be a sad album. But it doesn’t really move me in any way. It’s just kinda boring. And his singing doesn’t inspire any emotion in me.

Nothing better than seeing if the people mad about them plagiarizing also love Led Zeppelin. Beautiful.

I like this album a lot it’s fun! It reminds me of Hole more than anything.

Oh fuck yes, Tropicalia is one of those genres that more people desperately need to know about. In terms of world music it’s probably one of the most accessible to an American ear other than like, Italo-disco or K-pop or what ever. Caetano Veloso has an album on here also, but if you dig this album I HIGHLY recommend Gilberto Gil’s 1968 album, for me it’s the peak of this genre.

Really shows off how good Steely Dan is because this just feels like a half formed album

This album is a real time capsule of the late 90s pop soundscape. That’s DEVASTATING because it sounds terrible. Overproduced, muddy, but worse the songs themselves are just boring disasters.

Sure, it’s fine. Nothing bad but I’m not sure I get it?

The first half is unbelievable, it’s hard hitting and exhausting and poignant. The second half is a lot less impactful and some of the tracks don’t say much, sort of rely on tropes that haven’t aged well.

This album cover is so funny. I like the rat. Uh it’s good! Especially the beats! Everyone is right though about the lyrics. W BALZ was pretty good too.

Never heard of this before which is always shocking whenever I look at a post 2000 album. Ugh imagine deadnaming yourself for all time on your own album. Anywho. This album is pretty great! It sounds pretty and touches on topics and perspectives that really don’t get talked about in music, certainly not in 2005. I think I agree with the consensus that sometimes her vocals are a little over the top they distract from the rest of the music. But overall it’s very good.

Hey guess what? I like this. It’s certainly in that British Pop genre that is a real mixed bag of stuff, but I think this time I enjoy this album, particularly the instrumental parts. It does kinda shit the bed in the second half becoming a vastly boring soft rock album

I think their follow up Miami is a better album, it’s much more accessible in a way that I enjoy. This album is pretty good too though!

Totally serviceable country album

Um! It's fine. Nuthin but a G Thang is the stand out track for a reason. And also Snoop Dog. He's the best part be leaps and bounds.

Oh no

This album is so fucking good oh my god! It turns out all you need to make the dime a dozen melancholy rock of the 80s sound unbelievable is to add ungodly amounts of distortion. Some real genuinely beautiful music on here. Really looking forward to their other album on this list.

I basically had 1 star in mind when I pulled this. I hated Def Leppard as a kid. To me they were so boring, just a slog of a band in a genre that’s supposed to be fun and stupid. Having listened to it now as an adult….

It fucking sucks. Okay the only positive is the production is excellent. Other than that how can anyone like this crap. The hair metal ballad might be the worst type of song in existence.

This is such an okay album. It’s a nice indie album but like. That’s it. It feels like any of these songs could have been in a commercial or an AMC show you forgot existed

Tricky album. At times it felt like a 5 star and then a song like Red Dress slaps that hope away by being kinda shit

Perfectly pleasant listen. Never really reaches a grand peak.
