I'm all for psych rock and alternative music from this time period, but this is a little too dense for me to truly enjoy.

*Paradise City and Welcome to the Jungle are all time greats.

*Some decent songs but every poignant lyric in this is contradicted by his current views. Moving on...

*Some cool songs like Sunday Morning and I'll be your mirror.
*Also some dissonant weird stuff...music is a 3 but I'm bumping it to a 4 for its significance

*Love the songs with instrumentation the most- but lots of cool prog and psych moments

*Neo-soul/R&B- fine but got too slow at times

*Solid hip hop album with pointed lyricism

*Great songs: Only the Good Die Young, Movin' Out, The Stranger
*The other songs aren't nearly as strong to bring the album up higher than a 4

*Has cool moments with vibes and jazz sounds, but its a little too slow tempo/shoegaze adjacent for me to really enjoy

*Nightswimming and Man on the Moon are great songs.
*I still think Out of Time is my favorite REM

*Some OK singles that I don't love too much.
*The album lacks cohesion but has some cool moments.

*Much more listenable than his later stuff
*Less depressing and good storytelling, just not for me

*Cool jazz rock
*Loved the first half but a few tracks on the B-side weren't as strong

*This seemed like an attempt to sound like Nick Cave.
*I don't get why he has so many albums on this list....just can't get into it.
*The darkness almost sounds cheesy by the end of the album

*Very unique sound, especially for Paul Simon
*The African influence makes for some cool sounds on the album

*Free Bird is an all time classic
*Listening to this made me realize I'm probably a bigger fan of Lynyrd Skynyrd than I though.

Solid smooth jazz

*Unique songs at times from the White Stripes, with some songs hitting their more typical style

*Definitely hear the show tune influence
*Some parts are absolutely stunning but at other times it gets very drab

*Easy to listen to with nice harmonies and country sound
*Great harmonies but no songs truly grabbed me
