This may well be the lowest 1 star rating I've awarded so far. Appalling stuff, of absolutely no merit whatsoever. Dimery must have been out of his mind to put this on the list.

I found this pretty boring. Not as good as most of the other hip hop we've had on this list.

There are some pretty solid tracks on here - the title track, Fuck Tha Police, Express Yourself. But I didn't like it quite as much as the Public Enemy album we got a while back.

This is not for me. i don't like Sting's voice. The reggae tinged tunes are not good. Mother is an abomination so bad it made me laugh put loud.

This takes me back. I had this in heavy rotation during college years, but haven't listened to it in a long time. It holds up really well; still sounds quite fresh.

I thought this was pretty great. Cash's voice is pretty compelling. I definitely prefer old Johnny Cash to the younger version.

I feel like I slightly overrated the last Mudhoney album we got in retrospect, so I was prepared to rate this lower to compensate. But I actually enjoyed it quite a lot, so I'm going to go with my gut and rate this one a 4 too.

I definitely didn't need this to be a double album. I listened to about two thirds of it and had my fill. Band is undeniably very tight, the performance is good, but it doesn't really stir me.

Cave is unbearably out of tune at times. It's a shame, because i like other aspects of this album. Except the first song, which I really disliked - I almost gave up during it, but was ultimately was glad I didn't.

Somewhat forgettable stuff. Sounds well produced, but it doesn't evoke significant emotion in me.

Never heard of this band or album before - somehow completely passed me by. I liked this a fair bit. I'm going to give it a strong 3, but intend to listen to it more, and suspect that with repeated listening it could end up as a fairly solid 4.

I don't really like Method Man's delivery and the beats here were a little dull.

The audience certainly seemed to enjoy it! While I recognize the quality of this, it's not really my thing though.

It's bean a Beatle-y kind if week, what with Sgt Pepper, Band on the Run, and now this. I love the guitar tone in Hold On. Well Well Well is another highlight. I like Mother a fair bit less. A low 4.

Unbearable listening. I guess parody fascists make just as bad art as the real thing.

I enjoyed the singles from this when they originally came out, but the album as a whole feels pretty empty and soulless.

Funny to get this the day after we got Sgt Pepper. That was a fairly easy 5*, this might even be better IMO. Consistently excellent stuff from Paul here.

Another album that I'm probably too close to to be able to evaluate objectively; at one point this was my favorite Beatles album, but now I think I would rank it fourth. It's still an easy 5/5 though. I love George's solo on Fixing a Hole. Ringo's drumming on A Day In The Life is masterful.

I liked this on the whole. Twisted is the weak link on the album. A fairly solid 3.

This was great but not quite as good as the other Funkadelic we got ("One Nation ..."). Personally I quite liked the last track with all the strange noises.
