Gave up on the last few tracks. Just don’t like his voice at all and the instruments aren’t saving this.

I liked it when I was listening to it but then the rest of the day I found it really hard to remember what I had listened to. I had been in between a 3 and 4 for this and that made my decision.

Didn’t do much for me, which is a shame because I liked reading all the memories people have of it.

In my head I imagined she was a more country-esque artist. It wasn’t mind blowing, but I liked this album.

Motivated me to write an email I was putting off and get ready for the day ahead even though it was dark and miserable outside. I know it would feel so good to listen to this whilst working on something for yourself like art whilst the weather outside is rubbish.

Not really my thing stylistically, a bit forgettable but not terrible.

Took me a few tracks to properly get into it but once I did I liked it. However there was one track that had background noises that sounded too much like my front door and I thought someone was breaking in.

Just pleasant to listen to. The last few tracks were slightly weaker and I did get whiplash in between Heaven and Animals, but I think this might be the best Talking Heads album I’ve heard so far. I had only listened to Speaking In Tongues outside this challenge and it’s a shame I missed out on this one for so long.

Considering how famous they are, they are really, really boring.

Few alright songs, didn’t like most of it

Actually never listened to full album by them. Realised they’re really good. On this one I can hear how they influenced the later work of my favourite band, Gorky’s Zygotic Mynci, and it makes sense that John Cale (I know he’s not on this one) would call their debut his favourite album.

Gang of Four Stars

Maybe a bit slow for my personal taste, which is a shame because this has gotten good reviews. Everyone else has seemed to get something out of this album which I didn’t. Might be one I have to listen to more often to get. I definitely like Final Days more than when I was first shown that song.

There’s a lot of good songs on here. There’s also a lot of songs.

Fun sounds

This challenge has made me realise I do like the sound of country music, which isn’t very popular where I’m from. Some of the albums on here I have found sound nice but get repetitive fast. This one held my attention a lot better. On research I realise a lot of this is covers, but I’m not sure if that should affect my rating. Speaking of covers, I think this album has a great one and I like the title too.

So far I haven’t been disappointed by a good album cover and title. Not quite a 5 for me but there’s good stuff in here.

I like the singles on here but a lot of this just isn’t my taste. I prefer their next two albums.

As someone who has had potentially embarrassingly little exposure to their music, Gimme Shelter was incredible and made me wonder what I had missed. And then the rest of the album was completely different.

What you’d expect from The Cure, who are great. Although I’m not going to give this one 5 stars at is slightly too samey for my liking and they’ve done other things that have I have enjoyed more. Still loved it.
