She can’t sing. Or at least she’s not showing it on this album. Sounds like off key yodeling to me. Skipped the England track halfway through because I just couldn’t take it anymore.

High energy dance music with a punk theme. Great rhythm. Funny to hear the fake British accents. Overall well done.

She can’t sing. She can’t write songs. But she’s a famous rock widow. That insured good session musicians and production for her band’s album of simplistic melodies and uninspired lyrics. And it - along with the cover art - ensures Nirvana fans will buy the album. Bringing in a session vocalist and songwriter would have been an improvement. There’s one track with an acoustic guitar melody that I thought was impressive. It’s not awful. But not outstanding.

Well it’s TS so the execution and production you know will be perfect. And she has a great voice!

Punk with arpeggios! It’s like Postmodern Jukebox for punk. A good singer would be a great addition. Overall not bad.

Very different from most mainstream music at least in the US and UK. Intricate rhythm and creative melodies make this a great listen. The vocalist is exceptional even though I can’t understand the lyrics.

Really not for me. She may have a capable voice but the format for me is a real turn off.

Danceable and upbeat rhythms and creative melodies make this listenable. Who ever told this guy he could sing I’ll never understand. The instrumentals saved it.

Great album! Drummer is amazing! Rhythm and guitar work is excellent. Experimentation in sound effects adds an otherworldly dimension. It checks so many boxes from blues, rock and metal.

It’s not clear to me, beyond the notable commercial hits, what there is to value in Hendrix’s catalog. The rhythm and melodies are too busy and unimaginative. They become repetitive. There’s a real lack of creative breadth there. I’m just not impressed

Mediocre songwriting and limited arrangements hamper an otherwise talented vocalist. There’s a lot better music in this timeframe.

This album exemplifies what it means to be an all-time great. Innovative and well-produced with superb musicianship. This is what I expect from a must-listen albums list.
