double live album....seriously?

It's fine. I much prefer the new wave of bluegrass. This take on Bluegrass is to by-the-book, goofy, and safe.

Listen to Billy Strings, Kitchen Dwellers, and Greensky Bluegrass if you want a modern, good take on American Bluegrass music.

Likely the best solo project from a former Beatle. I saw the runtime of the album and thought it'd be a slog full of filler, but pretty much every track was great.

there's so much I can say about this type of music, but I'm going to be respectful and just stick to the flaws of this specific album.

Lorde does that dumb-as-hell "cursive" vocal thing that detracts from the album. She should be in a speech class, not a studio.

And of course, here's Jack Antonoff to produce the most hollow, meaningfulness pile of whatever this is.

The soundtrack to Expedition 33 if Ubisoft produced it.

really underwhelming. I thought I was a big Neil Young fan, but I guess he's just a put out a TON of music and the stuff that isn't on Harvest or a greatest hits compilation is really bad.

Jealous Guy is a great song, and a good look at the underbelly of this guy

pretty middling 90s stuff. Nothing really stuck out to me outside of the well-known songs.

someone else here said it really well. It sounds like the music a fake band in a movie would make.

Hell Yeah, Brother. The soundtrack to day drinking in the middle of the week before a long drive home

Gosh, I really wanted this to be a solid 4-star album for me. It's right up my alley in terms of what I tend to listen to now. The album started off very strongly, and fell apart by the end.

Strange. Not terrible, but just kind of weird vibe.

Over the years, I've come to the realization that The Doors are wildly overrated and Jim Morrison was a try-hard.

An Absolute classic. Joni Mitchell is an icon and and influence on just about every folk singer that came after.

I really enjoyed the start to this album. It definitely falls off a bit in the middle. I liked how Talk Talk took that typical 80s synth pop sound and made it a broad soundscape.

This album is featured in many of my middle school memories as I was just starting to get into music.

Really fun album

it's fine..... perfect for happy hour at Chilis in 2006.

much more accessible than I was anticipating. And kind of good?

It's an iconic performance from the 90s. I'm not sure I can give it a 5, though, as I generally prefer the original album versions of each track.

not really sure why the book author chose this Slipknot album to be included on this list. The Debut absolutely belongs; it was a great experiment in blending the Nu-Metal and industrial metal movements of the late 90s and early 2000s.

This album, however isn't their best. You can really hear how Taylor's focus is torn between Slipknot and Stone Sour, creating a weird mix of emo singing on industrial riffs. 3.0 would have been better to include.
