This is more serious singer songwriter Beck than silly Beck. I prefer silly Beck.

Basically a bunch of covers and some forgettable filler like most albums of this era. Stick with the greatest hits.

Pretty much the blueprint for early 1980s heavy metal. Rapid Fire was thrash before thrash was a thing. Rob Halfords vocals are insane and if you don't immediately start the air guitar when Breaking The Law comes on, you suck as a person. And the album cover is iconic. Perfection.

HELL YEAH MOTHERFUCKERS!! OPEN UP THIS FUCKING PIT!!!

Standard hipster music with a slight southern drawl. Nothing special. Crazy that these guys are on here thrice. Guess they didn't pan out in the long run.

Okay. That's enough Nick Cave. I've yet to be super impressed by any of his other albums I've listened to and this one is no different.

Another solid album from Marc and crew.

This goes hard but is also a bit repetitive. If you take a shot everything he says "mans" you will die.

Definitely out of my comfort zone, but I enjoyed this quite a bit. I loved hearing the dialogue between the individual artists before the songs. I felt like I was in the studio with them. There's quite a lot of music on here but I can see myself putting this on shuffle if I just want to chill out when driving or reading in the future.

It's shmaltz. It's very well done shmaltz, but it's still shmaltz.

Two Weeks is a certified hipster classic. The rest of the album is decent but ultimately unremarkable background music.

A good band will either have a lot of technical skill or exude a lot of raw energy in their performance. A great band can do both at the same time. Fugazi is a great band.

Why would I listen to this when I can just put on some Bjork?

These guys are from Philly and play actual instruments and Questlove is undeniably one of the coolest guys on the planet. They have all this going for them, but this mostly just sounds like your basic early 2000s hip hop album. Not bad by any means, but I think these guys can do better.

You on point Phife? All the time, Tip.

Some really beautiful yet sad moments on this album. If I didn't know it was written around the time of his sons death I wouldn't have realized that since the lyrics are vague enough. Still don't think I'm a Nick Cave guy but I get why his stuff resonates with people. I just don't think he's for me.

This was a pleasant listen. Dudes got a powerful voice. I don't speak French so I have no idea what he was singing, but I'm not really a lyrics guy anyway. Also, only 28 minutes, so he doesn't overstay his welcome.

You get both sides of Neil on this one. Literally. The first side is more folky and acoustic and side two is more of a rocker.

Blew my mind when I first heard this in high school. I thought it sounded like the future and I still think it does.

I appreciated the addition of Indian music sounds to this, but at the end of the day, it's a techno album and I just am not into it.
