Parts of this album were cool, other parts were pretty bland. The singing style is too much of the same thing for me.
Kind of a cool shoegaze record, if you’re into that.

Rated 5/10
It’s always interesting to listen to music from the 50s. I’m sure this was a certified banger back in the day.
It flowed well, I thought it was okay. But I think it’ll take more than just some simple swings to get me to vote more than a 3 on stuff like this.
Rated 8/10
I loved this album. That said, I don’t think I’d ever listen to it again. But I loved the vibe and the production. I couldn’t even pick out a single from the record, but it flowed from front to back extremely well.
After sitting on my thoughts overnight, I confirm my stance. This is a really good album.
Rated 5/10
I’ve never been much of a Madonna fan, but I didn’t hate this music. I thought the production was fantastic, I think it’s different than what I typically stereotype Madonna and her music and considering this is her 8th album, it’s easy to write off a lot of artists at that point.
My only gripe with this album is Free From Guitar. I don’t know what I listened to when that song came on. Can that even be replicated live or is it just improvised?
Let’s take out that song. What a collection of music. Super funky, groovy, some slick solos and verses that just keep kicking me in the face.
Rated 5/10
Incredible voice, some songs are very powerful (I.e. I Wrote A Letter). I didn’t vibe with every song but I did enjoy the listen all the way through.
Rated 8/10
Maybe I’m a bit naive to the 80s music, but this is one of the more unique sounding 80s bands I’ve heard. And every song rocks!
Rated 5/10
This is a very conflicting album to review. I don’t normally do this, but I decided to read some of the other reviews before forming mine, and this is a great point raised by someone else.
“while I realise all the bigotry and homophobia is part of the act, it is hard to digest at points, Kim being the biggest challenge.”
It’s important to note that Slim Shady and Eminem are two different personas, but it’s easy to forget and also easy to just lane it as an excuse to say some pretty crazy things.
There is a theme that whenever I listen to an Eminem album, there are parts that are so good. Like one of the best things I’ve ever heard. And then there are parts that are just can be both absurd and other parts that are just straight up terrible.
Overall, I did enjoy the album. Maybe more than I’d be willing to admit, but there are definitely songs I’d skip.
Rated 5/10
As much as I don’t like folk music, I did enjoy this Bob Dylan album. It’s more upbeat and fun than most other folk records which is probably why I enjoyed this more.
Fun album, but now I have no idea if good golly miss Molly is an original or cover.
Rated 5/10
Album was pretty fly. Sweet grooves throughout, but I still think it’s weird to have movie soundtracks on this list. But I guess music is music, origins don’t matter.
Big time Dad Rock. Honestly it’s not bad, I enjoyed my time with it.
Rated 5/10
Honestly, this didn’t vibe with me at all, although a couple songs were good, mainly the singles.
There’s nothing wrong with the music, and I guess I never felt like it dragged on I just didn’t subjectively enjoy it.
Rated 3/10
I bet his favourite colour is green.
This album started off really cool, but then kinda dragged on. It’s not even that the album is too long, I think every song was just more of the same. This is a time piece for sure, that should stay in the time period it was released in.
Rated 1/10

Once I learned there was a single track that was just a continuous mix with vocals, I just went ahead and clicked on that track. Kinda confusing to only release the individual songs as instrumentals and only the vocal mix is a continuous track.
And just to kick me in the face, the “vocal mix” is just a dude saying a single phrase of words every so often.
AND THEN TO KICK ME IN MY BALLS AFTER KICKING ME IN THE FACE, THIS ALBUM ON SPOTIFY ISNT EVEN THE ORIGINAL ALBUM! Unfair to the artist but this whole fiasco brings down the album rating pretty horrifically.
Rated 8/10
When I initially read that this was a folk album, I went in thinking I would hate this album like all the rest of the folk albums I rated already. But this one hit different.
The instrumentation wasn’t boring, the melodies were unique and kept me interested throughout the whole album.
There’s more depth to this folk album than most. Kudos Nick Drake, kudos.
Rated 3/10
This is a version of U2 I don’t really care for. I feel like Bono is sensually whispering in my ear, and I’m not particularly a fan of that. I enjoy hearing the drummer from U2 because I think he’s extremely underrated. He never plays just simple hi-hat snare patterns. He’s always doing something that totally works in the context of the song.
Rated 5/10
Why’d Ya Do It actually made me laugh. Felt like a ridiculous, very old fashioned diss track.
There’s album deserves to be on the list, I just didn’t like it all that much. But there are times and moments that I did enjoy the music, I just feel like some of the songs dragged on a bit.
Rated 3/10
Kinda weird to have a movie soundtrack on this list. I’m surprised it qualifies as an “album”.
Regardless of that, it’s not a good album. There’s just better music out there.
Rated 3/10
The numbers on this album is the amount of times I got caught asking “is this album almost over?”
This was B-O-R-I-N-G. A snooze fest. A certified temperpedic bedtime album.
