So happy weird ass music like this can be popular. If I was 15 years younger this would be right up my alley.

This was my favorite Kanye album, then never listened to an album by him after this. Listening to it again, the lyrics are terrible, but the music is still amazing. What would have happened if he stayed as another timbaland? I don't know how to rate this because his influence is so large in the music culture. So many great musicians exist because of him. But man what a horrible piece of shit human. Since everyone gives a 1 or a five I'll split the difference

Pure pastiche. They would do better off putting the bands they ripped off on this list. Is kiss on this list too? Because that is all they are. Musicians are talented at least. Was pleasantly surprised.

What if God doesn't care?
Indeed slipknot. Indeed.

Ugh. This album got me through some tough times, and was the first album that made me realize rap is more than bling and women. But man he is one terrible human, and you can already see it on some.of these songs. Now more than ever I can't tell if he's a genius or just an idiot who every one looked into the meani of his music a little too much

I never really liked them when this came out which was weird because I liked the big metal of the time and I think I know why now. They are way to intense. And singular in what they sing about. It tends to come off as over the top and just not for me. But they are good at what they do.

Did they only sell their soul for singles? Why is the rest of this album so terrible yet still come up with sympathy for the devil??

I don't know how to rate this. It's background music at best. I assume it was revelatory at one time? Maybe? Just seems like someone is trying to hard to impress if I heard it anywhere other than this list...

When I was younger and this came out I wondered what adult contemporary would sound like when I was an adult. Guess it doesn't really exist anymore, but now that I'm an adult I get the appeal. Very middle of the road

Nico and the banana cover is the only things saving this from a 1. So annoying.

This is probably the most Metallica of Metallica albums. At least in pop culture? Solid album, iconic cover. Songs get a bit tedious though.

Blew me away. New favorite album. Thanks!

This album is a mess. But probably by design to get a single out of it matter what. I'd this a decent album? No. Is this an album id listen to again besides the first 2 songs? Also no, but man does it hit a zeitgeist. Plus I'm only giving this a 5 because I know that there are assholes just giving this a 1 because it's brithey and I have to void one out

Tried to poke this guy for years. Not going to happen.

Interesting. Not what I was expecting. Before they becqme a charicature I guess? What I thought derrick and the dominoes should have been. They understand what they are playing and are pretty good at mixing genres. Still not really my jam. But good.

Fun!

No. Every roommate I've had that thought they were better than everyone else had this on vinyl. It's terrible.

Ugh. It feels like the worse parts of other better bands. Not for me.

Ok. Gets a little repetitive but nice and short

Surprisingly better.than I remember it to be..the music is amazing. I just can't stand Morrisseys voice. So over the top.

I could never really get into this album except maybe the hits, so I really wanted to listen to the lyrics this time listening to it. Instead I ended up having a fight with my husband over the phone in the middle of listening to it which seems pretty apt. Still don't quite get the album but. I think I get the essence now.
