While this album doesn’t “blow me out of the water”, there’s a lot to like here and a lot of experimentation that pushes the boundaries of pop music that I respect greatly. I can hear Chapelle Roan from this, and I would be shocked if Kate Bush wasn’t an influence of hers.

I loved Jig of Life, was a really fun track. Obviously Running Up That Hill is the most famous song, and rightly so. Great album, deserves to be a 4 star.

What a wholesome album. I wish music was innocent again like this, I feel like no one makes music that just asks a girl to dance anymore. When I think of The Beach Boys, I think of my mom because she loved them.

Punk will be punk but this one wasn’t too bad. Especially comparing to other punk albums from this list (looking at you The Witch Trials). Still, I wasn’t suffering while listening to this, and when I limited my listening to the original tracks, it was a good length.

Rated 5/10

Kind of a “let’s be weird for the sake of being weird”, which I guess is a bit of a time period. The opening track is an absolute banger, even if it’s overplayed because of a meme, but hearing the whole song was cool.

Rated 5/10

When I hear Riders on the Storm I think of Need for Speed Underground 2. That takes me back.

I’m learning that The Doors is a pretty good band. I have 0 problems listening to any of their music, and this album is no different.

Rated 8/10

What an interesting album. This was not what I was expecting at all. Like a mix of funk/soul, hip hop and pop rock.

This is my first introduction to NERD, and from this album I can hear the potential and I feel like there’s probably better music in their discography.

Alanis definitely has a very unique voice. I just don’t is if I enjoy it on every song. With that said, I totally understand why this was such a popular album in the 90s.

Moreover, the amount of singles and songs I recognized from this record is crazy. Did all her music come from 1 album??

I’m genuinely shocked by this album. I thought it would be one of those typical old rock albums that were good at the time but doesn’t age that well. But man the emotion this album brought out of me is something I did not expect.

Fun lil album. Bass grooves were awesome and I was definitely vibing with that the whole way through. It’s also funny listening to their previous albums and finding out that this one is just so different than the rest.

Credit to Coldplay that this is a much better album than I anticipated. Ideally I’d give it more than a 3, but not quite a 4. I liked it more than most but I didn’t love it. Maybe my ratings are too harsh? Oh well, gotta be consistent now

Just reading the track list from this album, I was already ready to give it 5 stars. After listening, mayyyyyyyyybe changing it to a 4 but I’m torn. I don’t think it’s a perfect album, the song with Paul McCartney is weird in a lot of ways but Beat It, Thriller, and Billie Jean are all BANGERS

Not my favourite White Stripes record, but it’s not bad by any means. I think I just hold a higher standard for their music and nothing from here really stood out and as a whole just kind of blended together

Maybe it was a bad day to listen to an album like this, but man I was BORED listening to this album.

Nah after finally finishing the album, I hated this. The final song was the nail in the coffin of this just being awful.

No pizza for you.
