Immersive and phenomenal. Can't help but bust a move. For sure a guilty pleasure record.

Bruce Springsteen: depression edition. Some good songs. Don't think I'd come back

Fantastic album throughout. Perfect for a rusty hangover.

Complete nostalgia bias. One of my favourite albums on the bus to school in my teens. Not even their best album and full of screamers. Iconic

I understand powerful grief is entrenched in this album but it didn't make the listen any less excruciating.

The Beatles b-sides, is that you???

Standard Stones. Some belters, some guff. Good listening experience but nothing blew me away. Woo woo

A lot of early punk is too 1-dimensional for me and this was no exception. If you like it, I get it. But this felt like a 40-minute song and was not memorable.

I said at the start I don't want to be too liberal with 5s but this was so unique and full of sonic flavour. I would have never even known this record existed without this challenge so wahey

This album increased my aura points by one million. If every song were La Grange this would be a 5.

Not a fan of punk really. An entertaining and biting record but it lacks any change of pace. Not bad but didn't convert me either

Just boring for me. Some great psychedelica guitar licks and atmosphere but I prefer the more lyrically driven, upbeat parts. Some of this album really drones on.

Disarm is a masterpiece. Great angsty and raw record. Could have been ~15-20 minutes shorter and kept me wanting more. Sometimes Corgan's vocals can get grating, but I liked it so much I went back for a second listen.

I could only listen to the 45 minute 'best of'. She has a great voice but jazz is not my cup of tea and certainly would die of boredom over a behemoth 3 and a half hours.

Yeehaw slop. Was so boring and samey that I didn't even realise it had ended

Transported me into a Tennessee jazz/swing bar in the 50s/60s. Such an immersive record, full of energy. Great listen.

Painful listen. +1 star for making me laugh with incredulity that this went 14x platinum, two songs were entertaining and the production was good, the rest was unlistenable

Some super cool, chilled out soul. I liked it but it wasn't something I'd go back to of my own accord. Maybe a bit 21st century of me but I wanted more songs with more direction and less meandering. Enjoyed

A couple of songs on this record were Talking Heads at their best - Life During Wartime was a highlight. A lot of filler, though, every song melded into one. Not bad but not great.

Hadn't listened to AC/DC in yonks. Forgot how bluesy they are. Beating Around The Bush riff was a smash. Probably my third favourite record of theirs. Hard choice between 3 and 4 but going 4 for nostalgia bias.
