A repetitive album, which makes it feel like the album is too long. Beats tend to loop for an entire song and it can make it seem like songs are longer than they are.

Some of the bass lines are great, the vocals are also very good, it’s just the repetition that bothers me.

Rated 8/10

A pretty badass album. This is what it must have felt like to be cool in 1966.

Still holds as a “vibes” album. Rock in a rocking chair on the porch vibe. The guitar solos are sweet.

Quite a charming record.

The vocals were good. Obviously she’s talented. The production is also good, a lot of elements going on. But man this is not my style of music.

It’s impressive that this came out in 2000 because it sounds way ahead of its time.

I’m really conflicted, there are parts I like and I like the moody, dreamy, dark vibe. I just wish there was a louder, dramatic payoff in some of these songs.

Hey now! Hey now, now! Catchy af.

I enjoyed my time with it but I’ll probably never come back to it. Definitely a time piece that existed and did well at its time, but not so much today.

Give me a B!
Give me an O!
Give me an R-I-N-G, BORING!

It’s not bad music, it’s just boring music. If you’re into that soft rock country vibe then this is just for you.

Well I thought I would hate this album more than I actually did. So it’s got that going for it.

By the end of it though, I was sick of it and needed to move on.

HANGING OUT. DOWN THE STREET.

What a tune. I thought this album was great, no skips, no sense of dread listening to any song from this record. I enjoyed the singer, the instrumentation, honestly no notes.

That opening line that starts immediately after hitting play doesn’t do him any favours.

Although the album is just good vibes. Honestly was never boring and just feel good album. Sit by the pool/on the front porch and a rocking chair with a beer kinda vibe.

Can we talk about the album art though? What are we doing here? Contemplating life?

Top 100 album on the list according to Larkin? It’s a good album, I can see why it’s ranked like that. Consistent throughout and each song has its charm.

A bit dated for my taste though. Kinda reminds me to REM.

Indie rock is always a bit of a hit or miss. More often than not it’s a miss for me as I find that (for whatever reason) I find most indie rock lifeless. It’s like the songs have no body (no “oomf”).

There were some catchy riffs from here though. Although I did feel my above statement in some of these songs.

I saw that this was Nick Cave, and my initial thought was a revolting “ugh”.

Lo and behold, I kept looking at how much of the album I have left. Glad it’s over, I’m not coming back.

I’m genuinely shocked to see this album on this list. I love this album, I just didn’t think I’d see it here. I hope Meteora is on here too.

Honestly, I can understand if people don’t like it if they didn’t grow up with it. There’s still some really good stuff in here though and In The End is an absolute classic.

I love this album, I’ve been a big fan of Linkin Park my whole life so maybe it’s a bit biased. But hey, that’s kinda the point of these ratings, right?
