Reminded me of that Trainspotting album. This album was just boring. Nothing, absolutely nothing, persuaded me to keep listening to this album except for the fact that I wanted to power through it.

I didn’t hate any of the songs so it’s not worthy of a 1, but it was a very boring album.

It was a vibe album where it was on, it was cool, I enjoyed it, but that was pretty much it. Nothing to hate about it, nothing that really sticks out as "Wow, what an incredible song"

It was a nice album. Definitely better than a 2, but not quite a 4 in my book. But it was nice to listen to a full Bob Dylan album.

Glad I listened to it, but just too depressing to come back to it.

It's weird when at first I thought it was repetitive, but then caught myself in the groove once it clicked with me later on in the song. I feel like these are songs that grow on you over time. There are a couple songs from here that I think are really cool, but I just don't think as an entire album I'd listen to it again.

The first few songs I thought were amazing. I’ve heard these songs covered by bands when I visit Cuba, so it was awesome to hear the original. As the album went on, I found that it grew more… stale? More boring? I don’t know how to describe it but basically I didn’t like the back half.

I’d put it on again so I can listen to the first few songs again.

I'm surprised to read that there's 5 singles from this album. After listening to the album, I thought this album only sold because of Take On Me. I didn't HATE it, I just thought it was boring

I feel like this album has aged really well. It still holds up, nothing sounds dated at all.

Honestly, I was going to give this album a 3. But I thought to listen to it again and there's not much music that fit the vibe that Franz Ferdinand has. It's a really fun album, front to back obviously headlined with Take Me Out.

The bass and drums obviously carry the "dance" vibes of each song, but it's the guitar work that I think really makes each song unique and give it its own "soul". To explain this further, I find that when the bass and drums are doing their own thing, I'll tap my foot and start vibing with it. But as soon as the guitar comes in filling in the gaps between beats, that's when my head starts to get into the rhythm as well and I'm fully engrossed into the song.

This is a fun album. I'd happily put it on again.

There were a lot of really cool sections throughout the album. Looking at reviews, it seems that this is a hit or a miss, probably because of it being just an instrumental album. I've always been a fan of instrumental music, so that never bothers me, and lo-fi hip-hop has always been in my rotation for certain occasions.

There are definitely some bops. I can see myself putting on this album again.

A lot of the reviews say it's overproduced. I think it was fine and I believe this was the norm for Pop music back in the day. For me, there wasn't a lot that I liked about this album. Just a personal taste, really.

1. The bass player is sick.

2. When I listen to this, I think of a more modern version of this sound, Korn.

3. If this was the origins of nu-metal, then man did it start out in rough shape. This feels like an edgy and soulless (if those can be combined). At least that's the vibe I get from the singer.

The songs are a hit or a miss. And most of them for me, are a miss.

I thought was okay. No complaints, some nice guitar work and drum licks throughout. Nothing much to say about it honestly.

Imagine it's raining, and you hear thunder. You think "this is great weather to take a nap". That would be the scenario where this album would be okay. Otherwise, it's pretty bland.

I honestly don't really know how I feel about this album. All the tracks are decent enough, just maybe not my style. Sultans Of Swing was a good tune. I can understand if other people enjoy this music, but not for me.

Good enough to deserve a 3

I actually liked this album wayyyyy more than I thought when I originally say what the album of the day was. I loved that he introduced what he was going to do, the keys, the time signatures, it made me appreciate the music more. It was awesome, but in terms of replay-ability, probably not. I'm also amazed that this came out in 1957

You know what they say, "11th time's the charm."

What a weird album, to say the least. The first couple of songs, I thought it was cool. Kinda edgy, strong and unique voice, decent enough melody. And then it gets.... weird. I mean, I guess it's weird throughout the whole thing, but I think after a few songs, you start to realize the whole album is going to be like this. Honestly there are some songs on here that should have been filtered out. QA'ing your own music should definitely be standard practice.

I feel like it's at least interesting enough and unique enough to deserve at least a 2

For the most part, I find the Beastie Boys annoying (mainly the voice of the main guy) but there are still some songs that I've enjoyed. I was pleasantly surprised with the album and found there were some instrumentation sections that were really cool and well done. It suffers under the same problem (at least with me) with most hip-hop albums which is repetitiveness. I enjoyed the first half, and then the second half, while vibing, I was done with the album when it wrapped up.

I think the album is okay, just the music isn't my taste. I can hear how they've influenced other music but I don't think I would ever go "I really want to listen to the Pixies today!" I actually think giving it a 3 would be a disservice to the other albums I have a 3

I don't think there's a song on here that's worth a skip. Maybe because they're all short, maybe because they're just good songs, either way, I enjoyed each and every one of them.
