As a kid, I liked The Fugees but this record didn’t appeal to me at all. Now I think it’s actually way better than The Score. My only complaint is that all the songs are way too long (which is typical of albums of the cd era.)

I find this music rather silly, annoying, and musically uninteresting. But I guess it has some charm.

This is fine, I guess. No strong feelings either way. It has its moments.

Spooky vibes, inventive sounds. I dig.

I think these guys might be on drugs!

Post punk rarely has this much sonic variation and color in its character.

There are too many Neil Young albums on here. But there’s a reason this is the one everyone knows.

Another suite of bangers by Mr. Wonder.

Not bad for 2000s pop music. Gross at points for sure.

I think I like this better than the other Smiths album I’ve heard on this.

I was a big fan of the first two Muse records and thought everything afterwards was watered down for the American market. But over time I’ve come to appreciate some of the tracks on this one and its predecessor a bit. There’s also a lot of horrible cheese on this one too though.

The best Beatle by far.

Saw these guys open for U2 in ‘97. “Scooby Snacks” was kinda fun back then. Never listened further than that. Didn’t really need to, but it isn’t terrible. Remember when smoking weed could be your whole personality? Extra star for being real NYC scumbags.

This is the only great Pearl Jam album. But damn it’s a masterpiece. Every song is a total banger despite hundreds of listens over the years, it still hits.

Roots bloody fuckin’ roots!!!!

This isn’t as high energy as I remember some of their stuff being but it’s pretty chill and quite interesting.

Slightly more interesting than the other one on here but still not at all my bag.

This is the weird one and that’s saying a lot. Love it!

Not for me. Will Lee on bass is always great though.

Not quite at the level they would attain in later records, but you can hear the potential here.
