I liked the instrumentals. Groovy coolie jazzy funkie. The singing parts not so much. Downhill pretty fast in the second half. I think Raymond is in the room. 2.8

Well, shit. That was not the experience I expected to have. Never intentionally listened to a song much less an album, mostly snobbery on my part. I thought it was music for tween girls. If it is, I need to spend a lot more time with tween girls. Wait, that didn't come out right. Some beautiful songs, well crafted and sung with feeling. Me gusta.

People liked drugs way back then too I guess.

I've always had a weakness for this band. Thanks, CJ. Strange and a little too artsy in places but enjoyable. 3.9

All the feels.

I thought it held up pretty well. 3.5

Yes, please and thank you. Always loved this, always will. I'm giving it a lot of thought but I think it may be my favorite album overall. Surfer Rosa / Come on Pilgrim is up there but that is a double album so does it count?

I liked the hits because MTV told me to when I was young and impressionable. I actually liked the rest of this more than I expected, some nice bluesy riffs and harmonies that overcome Tyler's frantic vocalizations. Knibb High Football Rules. Probably 3.8 star-wise. I would skip the hits and listen to the rest again.

These are some freaking khole songs. They lock in to a groove and repeat until you forget your name. Drugs may have been involved.

I'm way, way more chill post nut. This broad has some anger but I like it. My neighbor loves evanescence and this reminds me a lot of that. Unsure if I will ever break this out again.

By all rights that voice should be annoying, it has all the hallmarks of an annoying voice. But man is this fun to listen to. Id never heard the whole album and I wish I had sooner. Originally locked in to a 5 but the buZ wore off a little bit. 4.6

Ok, adult contemporary. I am a contemporary adult but this doesn't do much for me. Her instrument is impeccable of course, just don't dig on the style. It's not you, it's me.

You know, I like that this made Exile in Guyville possible (if that is the case) but just didn't love this one. Some Stones I dig (2000 Man, hello Bottle Rocket 🚀) but this just didn't start me up.

This isn't really my style but I think it is quite good. Hard to listen to this without considering the destructive power of addiction.
3.7

The first part is excellent. I had been listening to several of these songs for years with no awareness of the album or the band, my spouse silently added them to our Spotify playlist. Sneaky.

I'm not sure it is a 5 but I loved this. Best new to me album I can remember hearing for a long time. Paul told me to check them out a year ago but I'm lazy. Sorry, Paul. 4.5

The actual album not available so can't comment on that. I listened to 'most popular ' on Spotify for the artist. If you forced me to guess what non-English language this was penned in I would have definitely said German.

Good stuff. Mr. Young earned his spot.
3.8

Hard to find, but very relaxing different.

I thought this was pretty good, reminded me a little bit of Laurie Anderson. 3.5

So many like the Boss so much, I don't happen to be one of them. Sorry, Bruce.
