obviously its a 5, but I can see why its a bit controversial. It is a really eclectic mix of emerging genres and I never realized just how Paul heavy this album is. Mostly because John's are sonically more diverse, but Paul trudging along picking up the slack with his dumb little pop ditties. It's an interesting album that creates a journey in the best way an album should.

It feels like such a sell out sound. They were in LA once and tried to make the most dull "1987" style music they could based on that memory. Guns n Roses came on after then and I could instantly tell the difference even before Axl's voice came on. Just dull.

amazing. no notes. perfect for the zeitgeist of the time, still as relevant as ever.

this is really good. It sounds so familiar, and I feel like It's Hank Williams? I assume hank stole this sound, but I'm not trying to be woke... don't know, but I really like his voice and the style. great album.

Do people actively search this out and sit down at the end of a day and listen to this? Or is this just an album people have to show how liberal they are without actually being liberal? It's just so boring.

Ugh. He's just the worst. What was interesting about this is how well the music is produced? There's a lot of influences in this music without it being pastiche. Too bad he has to rap? Song? Over it..

It's more interesting as a final album and the idea of recording it than the sum of its parts. It's an amazing final album not necessarily a great album if that makes sense. He captured exactly what I imagine it would feel like dying. He creates a groove and an atmosphere that doesn't have any filler which I feel is on a lot of his albums. All in all not an album of listen to a lot but an album that does exactly what it needs to do

it's fine. great simon and garfunkel harmonies. mild political slant without any sort of call to action. average 1960's. nothing to complain about. decent.

Honestly better than I was fearing. Still she's going for things she really shouldn't be.

They keep coming up in my random playlist generator but I wasn't too impressed with the singles. The rest of the album is amazing though. Should have searched them out earlier. Moving them into my steady rotation.

The music doesn't really seem to align with the interstitials and the lyrics. Maybe it's a bit dated but it feels a bit safe for what the politics are.. generally okay ish rock.

Why are there albums on here that should just be a single? The single on this is produced differently than the rest of the album. Why? Just make an album that sounds like the single and you might have more than one hit? That being said that one song is fucking killer. Plus the iron man cover is pretty hilarious. Rest of the album just gets whiney about 2 songs in.

First three songs: oh this is better than I thought it would be. Then, fucking Neil young. I have no idea what he brings to this band other than one of the whiniest voices in pop culture. Rest of the album 3, he brings it down to a 2

A perfect pop album. This is what we lost when pop musicians had to be pretty too. Seriously though every song is amazing and that this isn't a greatest hits just blows me away.

I don't know. I seem to understand the British music scene a bit more from this list. But seriously this isn't interesting music. I don't understand where this stuff keeps coming from.

If you fed the concept of punk music into an AI program and removed all cultural comtext this is what would come out. It's a wild juxtaposition to.say daft punk which is built completely with computer technology and precision beats yet somehow manages to maintain a certain humanity through humor and context, this is humans playing physical instruments (at least it sounds like it?) but seems devoid of all human attachments. I'm not sure I like it per se, but it's definitely interesting. I didn't loose interest listening to it that's for sure!

It's too much album. And man she has a chip on her shoulder. I understand why it's a double album because she said fuck you that's why. It's well produced and well thought through, but it's two albums and not the way she decided it either. I thought I'd get sick of her vocal fireworks but instead I got sick of her constant complaining how no one respects her and she sexy but can't say the word cock? I don't know. Looking at how Sabrina Carpenter now just glazes over this whole thing so much more e seamlessly I feel bad Christina had to deal with the bullshit.

So Eric Claptons whole career is just ripping off black artists?
Cool cool cool.

Ugh. This better be the last of these. I think this might be the best? It feels a lot more of the moment and less trying to be something more than it is. I also didn't realize that Eric Clapton probably wouldn't have a solo career of it wasn't for the fact that he just t stole this sound which makes me hate him even more.

Otherwise not interested.

Doesn't feel as douchy as his earlier albums, but he ruins my goodwill to him by making every one of these songs longer than they need to be. God he's so annoying.
