As much criticism as I’ve given lately to electronic music, I enjoyed this one. The bass punched hard, grooves were catchy, wasn’t too repetitive where it was annoying for me. So yeah, it’s was okay.

Kinda faded into the background as it went on. I typically don’t vibe with most older rap music, but this wasn’t too bad. I’m sure his influence is grand but I just wasn’t listening to this music at the time to understand it.

Reggae has never been up there on my list of “genres I enjoy”.

This album is no different. I can enjoy a couple of songs but an entire album in a row of reggae music is just too much for my simple brain.

This is a quote from their Spotify description that I thought fit really well.

“Often the band would jam on one chord or play a series of songs, all in the same tempo and key.”

Yeah. And it’s boring. It reminds me of one time my brother and I had a video gig to stream some music performances from a venue to Twitch. When we got there, the organizer were laying out mats on the ground and I thought to myself, “that’s kinda weird”. But when the performances started, they were all trip out, super slow drawn out sounds, similar to this but believe it or not, worse. The audience would come in, presumably already high, and then lay on the mats and look at the roof where there was a projection of just rotating circles.

Yeah this music would have killed at that venue.

Where time becomes a loop. Where time becomes a loop. Where where time time becomes becomes a a loop loop.

This is a victim of literally every single electronic album that’s been featured on here so far. Repetitiveness. It’s almost like they make a 4 bar beat, repeat it for 5-10 minutes and throw in some subtle new sound every once in a while.

It was okay but just kinda boring for me. Felt like a safe album with no risks or interesting sections.

Now that it’s the next day, this album was so forgettable that I can’t even recall anything about it.

A bit lengthy, but each song had its own charm so I didn’t mind that much.

A real solid collection of songs.

Started off pretty strong but then started to lose me towards the middle. Then it brought me back and then lost me again.

I find the guitar tones and instrumental sections interesting and then I find the vocalist kinda boring.

Sorry to my UK people out there reading this, but I hate Brit-Pop. This is what I’m getting out from listening to so many Brit pop bands from this list.

It’s boring, lifeless, soul-less, uninteresting, and just plain bad.

You can’t come to me with the opening bass line and prevent me from dancing. Seriously that opening bass slaps so hard.

Overall, I think I just like Spanish music because this was a fun album. There are little kicks throughout that keep me interested.

I liked this less than the other punk records we’ve had lately. I’m a little torn because I didn’t hate it enough for it to be a 2 but didn’t really like it enough to be a 3….

What can I say, I’m a harsh critic

Black Hole Sun has to be a Top 10 song of all time. Spoonman grooves as well.

Everything else is pretty okay. When I listen to this I just picture people in a garage passing a joint. This music compliments that.

I thought this was a great album. Not my favorite by Radiohead, that award belongs to In Rainbows.

It’s funny how much more I appreciate this album more now that I’ve listened to a bunch from this list. I really appreciate how Radiohead can really put a collection of songs together.

I didn’t mind this album but it didn’t necessarily tickle my fancy either. It’s chill, but the old school hip hop vibe doesn’t do it for me.

I didn’t hate it though so it still deserves a 3

I think this is the one album that met my expectations on how much I would hate it.

Judged it as soon as I saw “Kid Rock”. I want my 70 minutes back.

It’s funny to me that old punk music sounds like it’s just 1 take of the whole band and if there are any mistakes or mistiming, they just roll with it.

“Hey your rolls and fills are kinda off time” nah keep it, that’s punk

“Are you sure the melody fits in with the song?” Yeah man, that’s punk

This album can feel a bit exhausting when listening to everything back-to-back. That said, this is iconic punk rock.
