Lowkey became a Rod Stewart fan after the Faces album (“Stayyyy with me”)
And he’s lowkey cooking here too. I really like his voice. The opening (title) track is my favourite

I really like the first track Alone Again Or because of The Damned covering it. The rest would need more time/exposure to grow on me I bet
Rated 4/10
I like how in the title track, there was a sample from his time in N.W.A., STRAIGHT FROM THE UNDERGROUND
Also, another N.W.A. sample in the track Endangered Species
I like story songs. You Can't Fade Me was a story song, even if it's not a very positive story...
Rated 6/10
I don't know why, but I liked this one more than I thought I would. Interesting. The earlier parts of the album got me interested the most. Some of the lyrics are kinda... country... yeah... but overall I was more interested than I thought I would. Neat
For some reason the line "now there ain't enough" in Good Ol' Boy makes me think of the way Billie Joe from Green Day sings
Rated 8/10
Ayooo that part at 13:55 part of Djed was very unexpected
Makes sense that one of the guys from Slint was in this band after Slint
Rated 4/10
I kept seeing this album cover pop up for some reason. Well, there we go. Album cover matches the theme well. Sad/darker theme. For some reason it sorta reminded me of Nine Inch Nails. I like Nine Inch Nails a lot more
Rated 4/10
Soul still hasn't clicked with me. The hits sound like good soul tracks, though. The vocals is one of the main parts I'm not digging as much
Rated 6/10
That was solid I liked the vibe. The 10min track after the intro hit the hardest
Rated 4/10
Ant stuff is funny. But I wasn't interested
"The album was the UK number 1 selling album in 1981". I'm really surprised to be honest
Rated 6/10
Pretty basic. I don't mind it being all covers though. Think of Stardust by Willie Nelson, for example. I like the track Nothing
Rated 4/10
Good to know for the history and to get educated
Rated 4/10
I didn't really know what to expect. The closing track had a nice calming vibe. Do-do, do-do, do-do, ...
Beautiful Love, the most streamed song of the album, is something too
I like the galloping guitar at the start of Autonomy
I also like the chugs on the closing track Moving Away From the Pulsebeat
Rated 4/10
The 8-bit sounding synth in the intro track is neat. I can see the Kanye production. I don't connect with this stuff that much
The 2nd half of the closing track that emphasized the overall "Be" theme (album title too) was neat. I dig that part
Also this is indeed a funny review:
> "They say because of the fame and stardom
> I'm somewhere in between the church and insane asylum
> I guess it's messin' with my health then
> And this verse so crazy when I finish
> I'm just gon' check myself in"
> If only Kanye would've listened to himself in 2005
Rated 6/10
Opening track hits. By "hits", it both goes hard, and when the distorted guitar comes on, it sounds LOUD and hits like a wall
Rated 6/10
French rap. Different for a change and the flow went hard. When I looked at the lyrics on Spotify at times, I digged it too
Rated 6/10
Wow this really is a HUGE album. I feel that it is high quality
Rated 6/10
Each artist wanted to do different things. The solution: split the album in half, and each person gets a half. Like how Recurring by Spacemen 3 is split :)
1st half:
Soooo calming. I really dig it
2nd half:
Not sure how I feel about it. Was nice to have it drone on too I guess. I liked 1st side more
Rated 6/10
Foo Fighters have never grabbed me, because of it being very safe radio rock
Rated 6/10
Just learned about this band a couple days ago by my mum. "Are they on this list?" she asks. I check. They are! Then now I generate them. That's pretty funny
The list is very rock-centric, so that means a lot of people doing the list will tend to have a rock bias. If it was a purely electronic music list, I bet people would have more favourable reviews overall
