I like country music. It's what I grew up listening to. This is just very generic and doesn't give me a reason to love it. Today, country isn't my genre of choice, but it really depends on the song. I don't think I'd really listen to any of these again, but who knows? Solid album overall

This album is really good. I like how it feels like an actual story. It was able to keep me interested throughout the whole hour and 16 minutes. I'm not the biggest fan of rap, but this is enjoyable.

This album was pretty boring in my opinion. I hadn't heard any songs before this listen. To me, this is just pretty outdated. I wouldn't be mad if someone put this album on, but it would never be my choice.

I really liked this album early on, but it was pretty much the exact same throughout. She has a great voice and all of the songs are good, but as a whole album it's not my favorite. I like the collaboration with Emmylou Harris on Greenville. The title track, Car Wheels On A Gravel Road was probably my favorite. Joy was another good song. Good album overall, but not my favorite.

Words cannot truly describe my emotions listening to this album. My gosh. First, let's address the elephant in the room, Fred Durst. Now that he's addressed, let's get onto the album. Awful. Just awful. I thought I liked nu metal. I thought I liked Freak on a Leash. I have never listened to it with a critical eye and honestly it's just not very good. Then, flop after flop and this album is just boring at best and the worst sounds you've ever let grace your ears at worst. The best part of this album is Slimkid3 and Ice Cube. I don't even like hip hop that much. Who let this album reach the public? That has to be against some federal law. The guitarist is really good though.

I like the crab on the album cover. Electronica hasn't been my favorite genre, but this has vocals that keep it interesting. I would say this type of electronica is definitely more palatable to me. I would probably listen to any of these songs again and if someone ever wants an electronica album to listen to, I can recommend this one. Mostly for the crab.

There are some positive elements in this album. It does stay interesting enough I think. The singing is good and the experimental music in the background is good. It's just not my style of music. I might listen to some songs again, but not the whole album.

This album was fun, but very dated. Not exactly my style, but I liked it. The Monkees are legendary for a reason

A triple album is great when you like the music. Unfortunately this is just too many boring songs for my liking. I definitely see the value in a few songs, but I would have liked this slightly more if it had a third of the songs. Soft Rock isn't exactly my style.

There's a lot to like about this album, but there's also a lot to feel absolutely nothing about. It's an album for sure. It's not bad. Nothing about this album is great or necessary by any means, but nothing is offensive to my ears. This is the definition of "...yeah."

This is a very good album. Not only does it sound amazing, but it tells a story, too. This is very theatrical, which I like. Most songs work perfectly on their own, but they are better all in one sitting.

I am disappointed from my own ignorance. I thought Strawberry Fields Forever was on this album. Oops. Well it was a big mistake not to include it and Penny Lane on the album replacing some more, shall I say, boring inclusions. The highs of this album are great though. Psychedelic rock is one of my favorite genres and this definitely was a good album. There just is not really a standout song. I think maybe if I were to listen to some songs more, I could really love this album.

I had high hopes for this album, considering it is on the top 20 albums on the whole list, but it really didn't strike me as anything amazing. The guitar playing is really great and the other instruments are perfect. The vocals can be fun sometimes, but when they all come together sometimes it feels off. Things feel out of place and there are some dull moments. Still, this album is really good and I would recommend it to people. I definitely wouldn't say it's anywhere near one of my favorites ever made.

This album is very boring and uninspiring. Nothing in this album is something I want to listen to. It's not bad. There are definitely redeeming factors to it. I can understand why it is popular, but this is not for me at all. It is also way too long. I usually like interlude tracks, but none of them add anything more than the last. This is just not my style of music and that's ok.

Other than the first and last tracks, there are some fun songs here that at worst get slightly annoying, but it was more manageable in my opinion than other electronica albums on this list.

Bruce Springsteen uses emotion so well in this album. Unfortunately it does get way too repetitive near the end. Still, some really heartbreaking stories are told beautifully. It's hard not to love this. The instruments aren't anything amazing, but work perfectly here.

May be cheesy and basic, but.. well yeah that's what it is. I definitely liked a lot about this album, I just don't think it's something I needed to listen to really. It didn't knock my socks off or anything. Just some good songs. Probably won't be coming back to this, but I appreciate it.

About half of the songs on this album are really good and catchy and I love them. Then the other half are just there. When the album is less than 30 minutes, only having half of the album be memorable is not the best. I do really like the album overall. There is something about the quick vocals and simple drum beats and poppy guitars. I don't know what it is but I am drawn to this album.

I have been wanting to listen to this album because I have liked what I heard from M.I.A. The first couple songs were pretty bad. Maybe I just wasn't fully into the right mindset yet. By Jimmy and Hussel, I liked a lot about it, but still there were moments of "yeah this isn't very good". Then at World Town I had found a new appreciation for the album and every song after that hit perfectly.

I'm not sure if my opinion of this album is very high, but I loved a lot from it. I think it will only get better with time as I relisten to the best and forget the worst. This is not my genre of choice today, but is not much off from what I listened to as a kid. Some of that appreciation for this type of music is still there and is shown with an album like this.

ZZ Top is an interesting band. I have heard their music for so long without ever really knowing it. I definitely liked this album more than Eliminator, but not by much. It is very solid and has some really good songs, but a lot are just kind of boring. I had high hopes after the first couple songs, but it went downhill from there. I will say, though, I have a more favorable opinion on ZZ Top after hearing this album. There was variety in this album, but it just didn't all land for me.
