Rated 6/10

Pretty good album. I don’t think I’ll seek it out again, but I enjoyed it.

I was a bit disappointed by this album. I know the 3 hits on this album and like each of them. So I expected to enjoy the album. But the album was just ok as a complete mix.

When Cyndi Lauper came up, I was disappointed and didn’t want to listen. But then when listening to the album, I was pleasantly surprised. I enjoyed it more than I expected. A number of big hits came from this album.

Another album in this list that I can understand why it’s on here, but just doesn’t speak to me. Some good instrumental pieces and good soul beat. But it didn’t connect.

I was excited for this album because I like Miles Davis. But this isn’t the Miles I normally listen to. It had no direction. Just seemed like people recording experimentations with no discernment. Ended up disappointing

I can see why this is so lauded as a great album, but it doesn’t speak to me. But the messages weren’t made for me - a middle-aged white guy from the suburbs. I appreciate the artistry, and really liked some of it, but I won’t be looking to listen again.

Rated 2/10

Absolutely awful. Why on earth is this an album I have to listen to? Seems like someone is too desperate to seem deep and artsy.

It’s obvious why Dylan is thought of as among the best. Great songs and great album. I just prefer when others perform his songs

Rated 6/10

Not a bad album but nothing special. Surprised this counts as an album I have to listen to before I die…

This is definitely not my style of music. I could tell it was well put together, but it’s not for me.
