I'm a gangsta, kill, kill, kill. Murder, murder, murder.

Dead.

All sounds the same. I was a fan of Blur, but this arty-fatsy shit isn't doing it for me. Clint Eastwood is the only redeeming feature, just like a lot of Clint's films.

The White Stripes is one band that seems to have completely passed me by. I've heard Seven Nation Army, of course, but nothing else, and I was suprisingly impressed by this album. I then made the mistake of going down the rabbit hole of Wikipedia and found out that they weren't brother and sister as I had presumed, they were husband and wife and that White wasn't his surname, it was hers, but he took it when they got married. How progressive, just like this album.

Every song sounds the same. In da club sounds slightly better than the rest. No thanks.

One of the few British bands that fared better in the U.S. than the UK, at least in their formative years. I wasn’t a big fan of DL until Hysteria, but this album isn’t as terrible as some of the reviews make out.

An iconic debut (and only) album for the Sex Pistols. They managed to combine the aggressiveness of punk with the singalongability of pop. Were they the original manufactured boy band? Who knows. Three or four hits here, plenty of filler.

I know this is Bowie's 26th album, and his last, but it is nowhere near his best. But even Bowie at his worst is better than 95% of artists at their best. There is no mistaking his voice and his trademark musical style. Wasn't expecting the swearing, but I haven't listened to the other 25 albums, so I'm not sure if this was normal, although that seems unlikely.

This album is all over the place. Shouty punk 10 years too late.

There's something comforting about listening to Van Morrison. Yes, most of his songs sound the same, but there is at least it is reliable.

No

Phil Spector was undoubtedly a great music producer, but also seems to have been a crappy human being. Long before he killed Lana Clarkson, he imprisoned his wife for two years and sexually assaulted at least one of his children, allegedly.

Still, the music on this album is very good and we shouldn't hold the producer's indiscretions against the musician's performance.

Easy to see the direction they were headed that would make them immense. Not quite there yet, but very good none-the-less

It's evident that George had something to prove with this album. It must have been hard to always have been in the shadow of John and Paul, but it could be worse, he could be Ringo!

There are some great songs on this album, but there is also a lot of filler. No album needs to be over two hours long. I'm sure some poor record producer tried to tell George it was too long and would benefit from a good chop here and there, but I imagine George puffed out his chest, shook his head and said, "This is my time to shine".

Nice harmonies, but nothing amazing here

Why is this an EP and not an LP? There were 14 tracks! That's an LP sized EP if ever there was.

Quite possibly MJ's best album.

A couple of stand outs here. A wizard with the guitar.

This album certainly brought me back to life!

5 stars for the harmonies alone!

Not full of bangers compared to other releases, but solid none-the-less. Unmistakeable sounds of Talking Heads.
