Some interesting sounds and arrangements, but the songs all sorta hit the same tone. Eno’s monotonous droning vocals don’t add much to the excitement either.

I forgot how good the deep cuts from this record are. Whole Lotta Love, the big hit, is really the worst song on the album, but it’s still decent.

Love the impressionistic concept. The 20+ minute title track truly feels like a perfect representation of a long car trip on the highway. Nice variety of sounds from the synths, beyond the classic bleeps and bloops.

Nice variety of sounds. Some great bass work. Feels a little sparse at times, but I think that’s what they were going for.

A couple interesting moments, but a mostly nonsensical noise. At least it’s not boring.

Well-produced, catchy tunes with a hard rock edge. The deep cuts are as good as the hits, which is rare for a lot of the albums on this list.

Very lavishly produced with incredible instrumentation. Cellos, organs, harpsichords, all the bells and whistles (literally!). Listening to this album is like an auditory carnival. Nearly a 5* album, but is really missing some memorable hooks.

Don’t see why this is praised any more than any other rap album. Sounds pretty much like a lot of other classic rap.

Great voice, poignant songs. Surprisingly great bass album.

Great voice, but the songs themselves are very meh. They all have that problem where they sound like they’re building up to something that never comes.

Nice variety of rock styles, all performed well and produced well. Longer album, but at no point was I thinking that it was too long.

Pretty awful stuff. The first track is the worst, by far, but every song is just a repetitive bass line with plonking guitar and moaning vocals.

Pretty decent punk, but suffers from a lot of the problems with the genre.

Total load of crap

An excellent bass album, to be sure. That Rumba Mama song in the middle kinda kills the momentum. Excellent instrumentation with the sax, bass, and keys all playing together nicely.

The worst of the 80s sounds, with reverb and synthesizers aplenty, but some undeniably catchy lines.

One good song, Dejame En Paz, but that one song is so good that it really saves the whole thing from being a total waste.

Well produced, with a decent variety of styles between songs. Very Americana. Any song taken on its own is just kinda boring tho. No dynamic changes, no “wow” moments. Just one riff and one dynamic the whole way through each song.

Every song kinda hits the same vibe and tone. I absolutely hated the way this dude pronounced some words: “sunsheee-ine” and “acksheee-un”.

Again with all the weird sex stuff. A couple decent songs, but also a lot of boring drum machines and synthesizers.
