When people say they like alternative rock, I find they either lean more towards the 80s or 2000s. As for the 90s, there are parts of the 90s that lean either to the 80s or 2000s. And me, well, I lean towards the 80s. And this here is that 2000s alternative rock. You know, I swear every new rock band is alternative rock nowadays. It makes sense though... as the other big umbrella would be the more "classic" rock which isn't the thing anymore. Now it's all indie-alternative rock. If only rock today was more analog and less "perfect"/overproduced. Well, I can still listen to the more analog stuff, so it doesn't really matter, does it

And this, this is 2000s alternative rock

Ok but why was it lowkey good tho

Edit Mar 22 2026: 4 --> 5. I have been listening to it quite a lot. Fave track is Feelin' The Same Way

I think one of his more experimental albums would have been a more interesting pick. This was very plain, and I don’t like his voice anyways, so maybe there was no saving it…

Pretty... unremarkable. Feels like watered-down grunge

This was a fun listen cause it was INTERESTING and DIFFERENT and stood out among everything else

Very peak. The sound is soooo good

At first I was thinking a 2, but then upgraded to a 3 once I was vibing with track #3. And then I was really digging the last track and upgraded to a 4

Clocks isn't bad but I don't vibe with the album that much

So Rod Stewart was in Faces. Huh! I like the song It's All Over Now here

I like the sing-talking. Spacemen 3 does a lot of that, and I really like them

I like the base in the opening track quite a lot. And the closing track in general. Those are the only parts that stood out to me. I don't like any of the vocals in this album, except for the closing track. The closing track is saving this album for me

I keep seeing this album cover pop up everywhere, and has high ratings on music rating sites. Was curious to see what was up. I didn't know the Ramones' I Don't Wanna Grow Up was a cover from this album. I can see why music critics and people on RYM, AOTY like this. This is giving Time Out Of Mind by Bob Dylan, except this came out 5 years earlier

I liked the synths and the vibe

Gave it a fair chance. Didn't really like it. I never really have liked this stuff. Even hearing this kinda stuff a lot in elementary and on the radio back then... nope I never felt a special connection to it. Maybe I would have gotten into music sooner if I liked the popular stuff more

I like the cover of California Sun and that’s where I know these guys from. I like how they add their own words for “and I <activity>”. The Ramones’ cover of California Sun is much better though!

Not very interesting... very corporate... made to sell above anything else...

I like OK Computer quite a bit better

I love Miles Davis now

Edit Mar 27 2026: 5 --> 4. I haven't played this album *as* much. Maybe if I play it more in the future I will bump it up more

When I first heard this album a while back I was a Radiohead hater. After listening to a larger variety of albums from this challenge, I appreciate the difference of the album now. Well I'll be

I really liked the opening track, much more than I remember

Edit Mar 27 2026: 4 —> wow it has really grown on me. I never thought I would have a Radiohead album at a 5
