At time of writing, Lana Del Ray is the 31st most listened to album on Spotify. That’s fucking insane because I know 1 song by her. Literally a single one. And I do like that song! Video Games. But uh. You ever run into something that is clearly not meant for you? This is like reviewing makeup to me. I don’t wear it. It’s not for me. This album is clearly for teenager girls and young women. I can’t relate to this at all. I’ve never been THIS sad about…ennui? Is that the mood? Saudade about like…being a religious freak?

Very pleasant but I’d be lying if I said I was paying attention to it. Sorta fades away. Which is fine

Wow, a British electronic album I actually like. It’s a lot of fun and it isn’t embarrassing.

Hard to review. On one hand I see how important this is, it’s this experimental soundscape that really bleeds into a lot of future things I enjoy. On the other it’s boring and I didn’t like it.

Enjoyed this one. I think sometimes it tries to be spooky or edgy and fails but overall a good time

This is kind of a weird choice. I feel like the author really likes Cohen and wanted to show off his fun 80s album. And like, yeah it’s Leonard Cohen with a chorus and synths. And yeah, that’s pretty good because he’s good. But essential? Ehhhhhh. I still enjoyed it

Super important, and also super shitty lol. If you think about all it inspired its amazing. If you actually listen to it ehhhhhhh. The Rage cover of Renegade also completely makes the original version unnecessary

Coldplay is like oatmeal for breakfast. It’s not great but sometimes it’s what you want. And then there’s like blueberries or some shit on it and you go, damn that was pretty tasty and it gets your hopes up. And then there’s rest is just slop. The blueberry in this metaphor is the song In My Place. I really liked it. The rest of the album is the slop. Not bad slop. But not great

This is definitely a case of I already know and love this album. I actually think Mighty Joe Moon is better, but yeah this album is great. Grant Lee Phillips has THE voice.

It's a lot better than his other album on here. Dancing Bear is always a crowd pleaser. I think Old Man was really brutal. Lots to like.

Stan and Real Slim Shady are very good and really important. Like Stan has been introduced into the lexicon. The ultimate fan culture critique. But, Jesus, these other songs feel less like satire and more just gross and mean spirited.

So do all of you wear the shirt because you like the album art? The musics fin, nothing that exceptional

Christ, here’s this doofus. Part of me wants to point out all the stuff that sucks but what’s the point. That’s all he’s doing is begging for attention. The worst part is the music sometimes sounds good, but this dweeb keeps being the edgiest person and it’s just embarrassing. He reminds me of a kid on Xbox live.

Sounds like absolute shit. Like there are better sounding bootlegs. But it also rules lol. I think it’s crazy that the version of I Want You to Want Me is the one you hear on the radio. I think Frampton is the only other artist I can think of where the only single I hear a lot is live.

Desperately shit album with nothing meaningful except for Mrs. Robinson.

Threatens to be interesting on occasion but mostly misses the mark

Not sure I like the punchline of the second song being our narrator getting raped. The shocking part is like, why does this sound so poppy lol. It’s too cutesy to be offensive but too stupid to be interesting.

I get the impression that a lot of artists I like really like the Fall. I like some of the stuff on offer here. Going to Spain is cute. I wanted more? Also 1993 is a crazy year for this, 1986 maybe.

Burdened with being THE pandemic album based more on its release than its subject matter. It’s so good lol. Its subject matter is personal and painful, but not at the cost of fun interesting music.

It’s enjoyable but it never grabbed me beyond me going hey I like this.
