I'm always delighted when the album is something I never would have known about outside this project. I enjoyed listening to this!

I feel conflicted about listening to Arcade Fire these days (don't like supporting the lead singer) but there's a lot to like in this album. Keep the Car Running, Intervention, No Cars Go, and My Body is a Cage are all great indie tracks.

This was a fun listen for me, I had forgotten how much I liked Slipknot. Wait and Bleed is such a good song. I like my metal at least a little melodic, and most tracks on this album deliver a good mix of melody and hard headbanging-worthy parts. Yes, the lyrics are not particularly sophisticated but oh well!

Led Zeppelin reminds me of my childhood. Kashmir is an awesome song. Also really liked Bron-Yr-Aur and Ten Years Gone. While I usually dread a double album, in this case I was alright with it.

I liked this decently. The lead track, Touch Me I'm Sick, is pretty good. I also liked You Got It (Keep It Outta My Face). While this is not an instant favorite, I appreciated listening to it.

Rated 6/10

Apparently kind of a cult classic. I found this generally an enjoyable listen but I struggle to find it special in any way. It might be something that would improve with repeat listens but overall on first listen I feel it's just ok.

I thought this was ok at first but then it sounded too repetitive. On and On and On was the one bright spot in it for me.

Decent album. I liked The Golden Age, Lonesome Tears, and Lost Cause. I got a little less invested with the back half of the album.
