You either get it or you don't. This shits weird, but so am I, so it's right in my wheel house.

I've always thought of Elton John as a "greatest hits" kind of artist and this album didn't dissuade me from that.
It's solid, but I can't see myself coming back to this on a regular basis except to listen to Tiny Dancer and Levon.
Rated 8/10
Just some perfectly produced pop songs and surprisingly proggy in parts? I dig it.
Rated 4/10
Yeah. I admit it. I used to listen to this in high school. I still know a lot of the words, too. Objectively I know it's trash and I'm embarrassed I ever liked it, but the slight nostalgia I feel for it won't let me give it a lower grade than 2 stars.
P.S. That n-word on the last track? We shouldn't be surprised that Kid has gone full MAGA.
Rated 8/10
Man, Peter Gabriel just makes everything better, doesn't he? Also, Phil Collins is a badass drummer.
Rated 10/10
The first song is a masterpiece and then the rest of disc one is good. However, this album reaches masterpiece status on the second disc.
Typical old school country music. Kinda all sounds the same but is pleasant enough to listen to. I'll take it over Morgan Wallen any day.
Rated 6/10
This sounds like the bonus disc to an albums 30th anniversary deluxe edition. The work in progress songwriting demos.
Rated 10/10
Blues perfection. They just sounded like they were having a great time recording it.
Rated 6/10
This actually isn't bad. Probably because Ronnie Wood and other members of The Faces were involved pretty heavily. Still, much better than expected.
Rated 2/10
I didn't do drugs and go to raves in the 90's, so I hate this crap.
Rated 10/10
Name another group that can do hip-hop, hardcore punk and 70's funk instrumentals on one album. Beastie Boys will forever be my shit.
Rated 10/10
Black Hole Sun is easily one of the top 100 songs ever written.
Rated 10/10
It's awesome and insane that these same four dudes made St. Peppers like three years later.
Rated 8/10
This was exactly what I needed to hear today. I've been sleeping on these guys.
Rated 2/10
This sounds like my ass after I've had too much taco bell. None of these songs are interesting enough to listen to for 45 seconds, let alone for 8 minutes. I feel like this site is punishing me for giving me some actual good music last week. Proof that not everything was good in the 90s.
Rated 2/10
Adult contemporary bullshit.
Rated 4/10
I dunno. I thought given the background behind this album and all the crazy shit this guy did I would either get something really weird like Captain Beefheart or some beautiful lost gem like Nick Drake or something. I get a run of the mill mid 60s folk rock album. Meh.
Rated 8/10
God, these Mike Mills backup vocals are transcendent.
Rated 4/10
Cut Your Hair is a decent track. I'm just bored and unimpressed by the rest. They're not doing anything that wasn't done much better by the Pixies or Weezer.
