I mean it's fine...I like his lyrics but for me it's pairing it with the 80s rock that just doesn't mesh. He is a poet and a great one, but it doesn't jive with the 80s rock vibe that others do so well.

I was really unsure on this one. I heard a lot of reviews at the time and requests from her father to not buy it. The idea was it was glamorizing addiction and furthering her self-destructive habits. First, to me it does not glamorize addiction, there is a lot of sadness and bluntness behind her music. To some it may be glamorizing but in reality it is just her speaking about her life. For her family, I understand the concerns and can only imagine the difficulty they deal with when it comes to losing their daughter to such a difficult disease. In the end this was a dark beautiful album that reflects on a life full of hard times.

Just beautiful... This is a great album and everything mixes so well. The lyrics can at time seem like gibberish but that is part of the appeal to me. On the surface you just want to dance around but deep down it says something

I am not a rap expert by any means...and this is not my jam. But I can appreciate it is amazing. Everything flows completely naturally, it is deep and haunting, but methodical and perfection. Songs move naturally into one another, but also build and amplify one another. There are basic beats that enhance the lyrics, and not overshadow them. It is not something I will probably listen to again, but its talent and impressive on so many levels.

Its very punk...too punk for me. Lyrics were great, just too much dissonance and yelling for my taste. For the genre it is right on point and great, but just not my taste really.

I've probably listened to this album entirely before, but I don't remember. It is interesting how many of the songs became hits or regularly played on the radio, can't think of another album that has so many radio singles.
I know its cliché but I like this album. I feel like Kurt was a really tortured soul that carried really deeply about others. This album touches on the struggles of mental health and violence towards women. He gives the topics the right amount of seriousness, anger, and action they deserve. I can see people thinking this album is overhyped because in a way it probably isn't anything special and they pulled inspiration from a lot of other bands. But I do really enjoy it and wish he had lived longer and made more music.

Nothing offense about it, but nothing that I love either. I will give it a 3 because I don't really know what is considered good music in this genre. It didn't hurt my ears, I didn't want to turn it off, but I could have walked away and not felt like I missed anything important.

Chill vibe and a good folk music.

I loved this album! Skeletons was my fav. I love how every song is different but still work together so well. i had heard the singles off this album and enjoyed them. Loved the whole thing together

This was a weird one...I didn't hate or even dislike anything, but I will never seek this album or them out again. Their music is in my preferred genre so I could like something by them but nothing in this album pulled me in to want to investigate them as a band further.

Techno is another genre I'm just not super into but this album wasn't too bad. It's typically so repetitive (we get it you have a flight tonight!) or just so focused on a beat that I don't see any beauty in it. But this was pretty good to me. Songs were not too long and they were not so repetitive that I was bored

This is a great album. It has a lot of great hits on it (Little Red Corvette is my fav). Sexy jams are fun and exciting, and Prince might be the best at it. As a lady it is nice to hear a singer talk about making their partner happy in a way that actually feels like the person knows what they are talking about. He has the swagger to back up what he is laying down, you know what I mean ladies.
I wish Prince got my credit and love for his deeper stuff like 1999, Free and All the Critics Love U. Yes there is sex in all of it, but its beyond that, its talking about critical issues (nuclear war, sexuality, insecurity, etc) in a way that is not been done.

One of my favorite albums of all time! Together this album is amazing and each song can stand so well on its own. This one came out when I was in college and really allowing me to to question and change a lot of world views/stances. I have listened to this album numerous times before but still love it today.

At first I thought I would really dig this one, it has a very 90's sound which I typically like. But it really drug and didn't really go anywhere. I wasn't 100% sure what he was whining about most of the time, maybe being too famous and how hard that is (not sure where he was famous...).

Classic great album, everything on this just works!

I really tried to listen and immerse myself but just still not appreciating the genre. I did appreciate this one and connect a little more than others before

Controversial unpopular opinion...for me I have never really understood the appeal of Radiohead. Nothing is bad about them but there is also nothing stellar to me so I went deep on this album, listened to it multiple times, read the lyrics along with the music, without the music and read numerous breakdowns, reviews and abouts the album.

By immersing myself in it, I understand the appeal and it is very well done for what it is. It is looking at our capitalized society at its worst, explaining those flaws and letting everyone know how wrong they are.

But in doing that he completely loses me in what he wants to do to change it and make it better. Or what to even appreciate about in our society. In a way it gives me a little bit of boomer vibes, "Well in my day we used to...." Or when you say it is a beautiful day the person responds, "Yes but the way in the Ukrainian is still going on..." True, but we can appreciate today for what it is, see the small joys in life and try our best to improve it moving forward.

I give it a four for the technical quality of everything involved because that is impressive.

So at first I liked it but then I was just confused and stayed that way. I wanted to smile but I just couldn't get past my sense of confusion plus burning was particularly amazing or revolutionary. It felt like the guy at the party that is way high and thinks he is amazing and making something amazing and everyone is looking at him like he is crazy

This was a fun jazzy little album. The mix of instruments was a fun way to bring new life to pop/rock music of the 60s and 70s. Lyrics are deeper and conveying a message that is important at the time (and still today). Gives me major summer outdoor festival or evening concert vibes.

My mom had this record and as a kid, I remember the album cover but never put it together with the music that we would play. Its just right...its authentically trippy, his voice is right for the music, the melodies and chords are perfect, it flows but nothing is overdone. It is, passionate, meaningful, an album you can hear, feel and see all at once. My favs are Misty Mountain Hop and Going to California.
