I would have loved to listen to this album. But as mentioned many times before, Spotify links to the wrong album. I can’t find the right one there. On YouTube, the listening experience is very limited because of the ads. That’s why I’ve only heard parts of the album. It’s a shame, because what I heard seemed quite interesting. So, unfortunately, I can’t say anything specific about the music. 3/5

Awful country music. The stylistic similarity to Elvis Presley doesn't make it any better. He made some terrible music too. 2/6

This project really has some surprising aspects. On the one hand, I’m discovering new music that makes me wonder why I didn’t listen to it much earlier. Then I listen to albums where I don’t understand why they’re supposed to be special. With Led Zeppelin, the thing is, I’ve always enjoyed listening to the band, but it’s only now that I’ve realized I’ve been a fan for a long time. I didn’t own this album myself until much later, but I listened to it often at friends’ houses when I was younger. I can’t figure out why I didn’t spend my allowance on this record. An all-around great album that I love listening to over and over again. 5/5

That's just too oriental for my taste. Maybe I'm just not open-minded enough for it. I just don't like the music. I think the idea of fusing Western music with an Indian interpretation is a bad one. I probably won't listen to it again, even though I actually listened to most of the album out of curiosity. 2/5

Yes has pushed the genre of music I love forward. I recognize their contributions. But I have a hard time getting into their music. Here, too, many of their songs remind me of other music I prefer to listen to. So I’ll probably listen to that instead of this album. 3/5

Don't Judge a Book by It's Cover. Whether that's true or not is worth a philosophical digression. Who decides on the cover, anyway? Well, when I saw the album cover, I expected something terrible. Some girl with a thin voice and insipid pop. But no, the album has some punch to it. I think I’ll give it another listen and check out Hole’s other albums as well. 4/5

Yeah, that's country music, with everything I find so annoying. I listened to three tracks and couldn't stand the whining. 1/5

I didn’t discover this album until after *The Fat of the Land*. And with that one, it took me a while to become completely hooked. With this album, it happened much faster. It sounds different, sure, but it’s got plenty of energy and really blows you away. I would have loved to have been in London’s clubs back then when The Prodigy started playing their music. It must have been incredibly electrifying. 5/5

After the first track, I still thought the album might be pretty interesting. By the third track, the novelty had completely worn off and boredom set in. By the fifth track, the vocals and the musical arrangement were getting on my nerves. After the sixth track, I gave up and turned it off. I don’t need to listen to that again. 2/5

I don't like Elvis Costello's voice. The rest of the music isn't nearly good enough to make up for it. After four songs, I had to turn it off. It was just too annoying. 2/5

My life isn't long enough that I absolutely had to hear that before I die. I would have been just fine without that experience. 1/5

It was great to listen to this fantastic album again. 5/5

The album is okay. I listened to some of it when I was younger. But it never really got me excited, and it still doesn't. 3/6

Phew, listening to this album was a real slog. What’s surprising is that it’s a live album. It was certainly innovative for its time. I doubt, however, that it was as influential on the genre as the accompanying article claims. In the end, I couldn’t bring myself to listen to the whole thing. The first track, in particular, is downright nerve-wracking and ear-splitting. 2/5

Even though I love the genre, I didn't like this music at all. What a racket. I'm not listening to that again. 2/5

I hadn't heard of either the band or the album before. I don't think I missed anything significant. While I wouldn't rush to turn off the radio if this album were playing, I wouldn't go out of my way to listen to it either. 3/5

I have a hard time with Björk. I really like a few of her songs. Most of them just get on my nerves. It’s kind of the same with this album, except that I’d already lost patience before I found a track I liked. I didn’t want to sit through all that pretentious mumbling and hissing. 2/5

Robbie Williams is a good example—though not the only one—of a former member of a teen dance group who has seriously and successfully evolved as a musician. That said, I would never go to one of his concerts. The ticket prices are not only unreasonable but still reflect the hype surrounding him. I mostly don’t like his music. On this album, you can still hear too much of his teen-idol roots. “Angel” was played too often on my local radio station. I’ve grown tired of the song. I like “Let Me Entertain You,” even though it’s played often, every now and then. I found the rest of the album uninteresting. 3/5

Not nearly as bad as I expected after reading the reviews. While the music didn't exactly blow me away, it didn't bother me in the least either. That said, I don't really feel the urge to listen to the album again. 3/5

That's actually a pretty good album. I listened to it here for the first time, and it probably won't be the last. 4/5
