Had never heard of this band - pretty solid! Early Josh Homme band too! Enjoyed this album - and added a few songs to playlists I will listen to later.

Solid 3.5 - I will round up.

...What the hell was that?

No. Just no. How the hell did this album get into the list of 1,001 albums you must listen to before you die?! Pretty talented musicians I guess... then the singer just starts spouting gibberish.

No. Absolutely not. I'd give it a 0 if I could, so I guess it's getting a 1. Thankfully it was a very short album.

This was a new group for me. I really enjoyed this album, even if it was a bit long.

Solid 4.

Not a big fan of the honky tonk (-3), or this weird cuck situation on the album cover (-2).

Willie Nelson is pretty cool (+1), Hank Hill likes Willie (so +0.5), and the album is short (+0.5, because why not).

So let's go with 2.

Not for me.

Unreal.

Weird, but kind of cool. Fun background music.

I'd say solid 3/5 - and I think I will listen again.

Bit of a long album, but quite good. Gets a bit screamy in the last 5 ish songs for my liking.

Solid 3.5; I'll round down.

Amazing album. From start to finish.

Had never heard of this group or album - big fan! I definitely plan on listening to more by them. Great lyrics - fun album overall.

Second album by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds... not sure how I feel about this one. It was OK. Kinda weird.

The concept is weird, but the album is good! Really enjoyed this one.

Pretty generic 60's kind of music. Decent guitar, but overall generic... not sure why it would be on this list.

It was quite a bit better than I was expecting. RIP!

Solid.

There are some of their huge songs in this album.... but also a lot of filler. A 1 hour 13 minute album that probably should have been cut down to maybe 30-40 minutes.

That being said, the hits are great. I'd say maybe a 3.

So many good songs on this album! Judy Blue Eyes, Marrakesh Express, Guinnevere, Wooden Ships, Helplessly Hoping, Long Time Gone, Everybody's Talkin, and Teach Your Children! So good!

The classics are great! Bittersweet symphony, lucky man. But they also kinda just sound like Oasis with a touch of 90s Radiohead.

I'll go with a 2.5 and round up for the hits.

I had never heard of this band. I enjoyed the album! Great length - I think any longer and it might have gotten boring.

Solid album, I'd say 3.5 - rounding up.

This album... UNREAL. First album that got me into Arcade Fire - saw them live getting asked last second to take a ticket to their show on this tour.

Such a great album!
