Horny white British nerds pretending to be black American blues musicians. As a white nerd I'm not completely turned off of led Zeppelin generally, but this album kinda rubs me the wrong way. I think it's just too much led Zeppelin.

I feel like she should have at least one hit that played on pop radio stations too much and I assume its misogyny that she doesn't just so I can say her one single was good but the rest of this album is kinda meh, but instead I guess she just took some b side radiohead songs from the bends era. It's OK I guess.

The most white stripes of white stripes album. I don't get the rules of minimalism, but I assume Jack black does.

I was not expecting this to be good. I feel like this is the band that every basement show I saw in college wanted to be. loud and angry but with this drone like beat that drives every song. it's incredible. If I heard this at 15 I probably would be way more into noise/punk music. I want to give it a 5 for what could have been, but I'll be honest. I probably won;t listen to this again until I try to get my kid into noise music.

I finally figured out why I hate his voice listening to this right now. He's speaking in falsetto. That isn't singing. hes just talking? I don't get it.

The music isn't terrible, but man. that voice kills me and I like a lot of terrible singing. But. This isn't singing?

It's not terrible, I'm a fan of certain brit-bands, but it just feels like they aren't doing anything new? Oasis tapped into a certain type of arena rock that was loud but also interesting and Blur interrogated class culture in a very specific way, but this feels like a pastiche of the Beatles filtered through the most banal parts of the 90's. I wouldn't turn it off if it was on the radio, but I'm definitely not seeking this out.

you get what you paid for. A noise band that wants to be lo-fi. If they actually tried to be a proficient band, these would be some great pop songs, but they want to be brooding and crabby. fine.

SO first off when I glanced at the musician I thought it said string cheese incident. Needless to say I was going to quit this list if that was true, so anything is a relief. That being said, this album is UN-listenable. It's just a group of people drugged out of their mind making noise. But that being said, I'm happy this album exists and is definitely of an era. I'll give it a 3.

It's better than I imagined it to be. It's pretty dull, but in comparison to his contemporary James Taylor that I listened to last week its like a hurricane. Nothing I'd listen to again, but I understand the cultural significance a bit more now.

It's a great groove, I like how he creates worlds in his lyrics. I don't think it's quite a 5, but there's a lot of dumbasses in the reviews thinking that if there's no guitars is terrible so here's my little bit of help with that.

Nothing makes me happier when there is an artistic movement that pushes boundaries and then one artist decides to take those boundaries to the most obscene conclusion and destroys the movement in the process. I love the idea of this band, but I will never listen to this ever again. It actually made me a bit nauseous. But clearly some of my favorite bands are inspired from this. I also think it's hilarious that reviewers think they can make this. Fucking do it then.

I'm on board with this. First concept album? yeah it definitely belongs on here. not exactly what I would listen to, but it's better than I thought it would be. Gets a little long, but it's good background music when you are feeling sad.

I feel like I'm starved for some 80's music that isn't terrible punk this list seems to like that I'm giving this a higher rating than it probably deserves, but a little more new wave, a little less try hard "guitar" band. I guess a 3?

It's just middle of the road music? I understand this is good guitar work, it just seems competent? like he's so good he doesn't have to try? It's just so boring background music to me.

It's such a small and intimate album, it feels too frivolous to be a part of this, but that's sort of why I love it. It is such a self contained universe that it makes for such a great album in a way that many albums are just either greatest hits or the one good song sticks out like a sore thumb. All these songs seem like one part to a whole.

It's experimental, yet has amazing pop hooks. I feel that it might be a little dated with the for its time dance hooks, but I feel like every pop star that is interesting right now is ripping off her sound. It's great.

Considering the amount of terrible white "soul" singers from the British isles, he's probably the best, but man I just can't listen to his grating voice that long. 4 sides of a record is 3 too many.

Wow it really is two completely separate albums. They are both good, I actually like big boobs more traditional hip-hop/rap album. Clearly andre 3000 is trying something different,but you can clearly see in hindsight he was going to make a flute album. It was coming. Not that there is anything wrong with that album but it seems the more "pop" the more bored he sounds. It's a wild album.

My mom's favorite song by Elvis is in the ghetto, so I heard it a lot growing up, so there's a certain nostalgia to that, otherwise, its just a sort of middle of the road album? I don't hate it.

Very atmospheric, but I can see a lot of music being influenced by this. Specifically any euro dance music in the last 30 years. I'd listen to it again while working. It's good zone out music
