Peak Stones. Perfect rock n' roll sleaze. This record is so perfect that it's a miracle Liz Phair's response record is even better.

Really enjoyed listening to this even though there was absolutely no sex involved.

Feels like a weird limbo point in hip hop history between Straight Outta Compton and The Chronic where it made sense for members of NWA and Public Enemy to work together. It's odd and I can't say I enjoyed much of it. Apologies to O'Shea. In three short years, the Lakers will beat the Supersonics and inspire a song that's a million times better than anything on here.

I like Van (his music, not his bullshit), but I don't really get why this is THE Van Morrison album. It's kind of boring. Would rather play Moondance any day of the week.

Smells like cocaine. Fuckin' rocks.

I think this is the epitome of achieving exactly what the artist set out to do. I loved it. Fuck it, five stars.

Love that Hammond B-3!

Really enjoyed this. Great guitar work.

I love The Byrds but they released so much music in such a short amount of time, and that means some of the full albums kinda miss me. Some not so great songs on here.

This is a decent record. I've always found Common to come off a great deal less profound than he wants to be. His beats were really novel for the time though.

This was fine, just not my preferred genre so I don't have much to say about it.

I really like the hit songs I already knew, but I doubt I'll ever go back to this one.

Nothing earth shattering here, but it's the Croz, so you know it's a groove.

Very enjoyable.

Doing this project got me into finally digging Nick Cave, so it stands to reason the same would happen with PJ Harvey. This is a much more eclectic album than I expected, and all her different modes are really engaging.

Todd writes some good tunes, but he's also kind of a maniac? This album gives off weird vibes, especially on side one. I like a lot of the songs that have enough time to breathe, but could do without a lot of the little snippets. I'll gladly keep "International Feel," "Sometimes I Don't Know What to Feel," and the medley of soul covers in the rotation, but I could do without the rest.

They got weird on this record and I'm here for it.

I love ya, Bob, but I'm gonna need to you plug it the fuck in. (This is a good record, and "Don't Think Twice" and "Hard Rain" are classics, but just not my preferred Dylan modality.)

She's undoubtedly a force. Some of the songs just aren't that great.

Absolute classic. The Band would be the best American group of all time if 80% of them weren't Canadian.
