Deserves its spot among the greats. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Definitely not my typical cup of tea. It wasn't all bad, but I don't envision myself listening to this often.

I really liked this. The energy was good. I was jamming along.

I really like the singles off this album, and don’t love the rest of the tracks. They aren’t bad though.

Somehow both groovy and a little boring

Not gonna lie, I say the album art and was very put off. However, to my delight this is a great album and very much my kind of thing! Really liked Star Sign. In their final track they question "Is This Music?" and it unquestionably is. I also feel I can appreciate the art a little more after I learned that Gene Simmons wanted to sue them for it. It's still super ugly though.

Historically I have not been a fan of jazz. I'd say I didn't find this too hard to listen to but intermittently felt bored. Maybe I'll learn to appreciate jazz one day.

You know what, hell yeah. I've listened to this before. I like it! On this listen I noted enjoying Zombie Eaters, Underwater Love, and the War Pigs cover especially.

This is pretty solid. I quite liked Strange Ones. I found this an overall enjoyable listen.

This is not normally my favorite genre, and I don’t love this. However, I do like Search and Destroy and this wasn’t a bad listen for me by any means.

I think I just didn’t know who Van Morrison was before this, like I expected a different style (I was definitely thinking of Jim Morrison, shamefully). I like this quite a lot! Shame about his recent anti-science views.

Beautiful, feels fitting to listen to this the day after Dolly passed away. Good storytelling. The title song is great. I also really liked The Way I See You and A Better Place to Live.

The singles are of course very good. I really liked Grey Seal. I can’t say I liked every song but it’s overall quite good.

Bad is a good album! Some real hits on here like Man in the Mirror and and Smooth Criminal among others. The non singles are enjoyable if not particularly resonating or memorable on first listen.

Definitely enjoyed a decent number of the tracks! Especially Go To the Mirror. It's cool that it's a rock opera but I didn't find the storyline extremely compelling. Still an enjoyable listen.

There’s some of Fatboy Slim’s best known songs here. I’m a fan of Praise You. Everything else was pretty enjoyable too, danceable and fun. I especially liked Acid 8000.

First thought is oh nice I like this! The second song has some weird instrumentation and a very suspect name. Overall it’s weird but not so weird as to be off putting and I like the instrumentation in several songs.

Kind of surprised I don’t mind the vocals, and overall I liked this.

This is a nice album, it's definitely melancholy but the vocals and the instrumentation are quite nice. I liked it.

Some of this did not age well, including some slurs. I’m not generally an enjoyer of punk though other than particularly irksome songs like New York this was more ok than I expected.
