This is what a punk album should be. This is one of my favorite genres and this album is now one of my favorites. Most songs are amazing and maybe the two best are the first and last tracks. It did go on for a long time and got maybe a little boring near the end, but still, altogether this is a near perfect album. I have never been a huge fan of The Clash, especially not their self-titled, but this is a huge improvement and worthy of 5 stars.

This may have been more enjoyable than most electronica albums at times, but still is just too long and annoying. I like electronic elements in songs, but when that is the whole song, it gets stale.

This was fun at times and boring at others. This album showcases a style of music that is not played much where I am from, but definitely has value. The singing was really good. There just isn't much that sticks out here. I appreciate this album for existing, but I wouldn't listen on my spare time.

I will be hearing drum and bass in my sleep for years to come. I did not necessarily dislike the album, but literally nothing about it sticks out. I do not like this genre of music. This is a compilation album, so not even one artist's work. I don't want to give this a 1, because it's not bad. It's just not an album I would ever listen to again, not even a single song probably.

The album started very well. I liked the beats and the vocals and lyricism, but this is one of those albums that could have been a lot shorter to its benefit. Having 6 minute long slow songs makes it go on forever and it did no favors here. I appreciate it, but not my thing.

This is definitely a fun album. I liked a lot about it. For sure my favorite of this genre so far, but I am not a big fan of the genre itself. I would come back to this in the future. He has a good voice without even trying.

How do I write this review? Well, I guess I'll start by saying that I didn't enjoy the album. Too angry. Too political. Too a lot of things. Just not something I want to listen to. Politics and music can and do work together, but in my opinion, this is just annoying and doesn't do anything to change what they are raging about for almost an hour straight. Also every single track overstays it's welcome. Meh.

Yeah. This album is interesting. Kind of boring, kind of fun maybe. I like the shoegaze elements, but they aren't that prevalent. It's really just another British soft rock album that doesn't stand out

I had way more fun than I probably should have listening to this album. If you have ever thought about making an album, do it, because this random guy from Essex did it and it worked. His vocals aren't great, but they work perfectly with the album. The jazzy instrumentals help to make a fun listen. I would never recommend this to anyone, but I would listen to this album again.

I honestly really did not like this album. There were definitely times where I was vibing, but other times I wondered why this is rated highly. I don't necessarily dislike the album, but I wouldn't really come back to any of these songs.

At first, I really liked this album. And then it went on and on and on. The singing was great, the instruments were great as well. But the album as a whole was just too boring and repetitive. Maybe some of these songs are great, but as a whole, the album just isn't great.

I definitely enjoyed this album. It was fun and energetic. It was never boring, if just a little repetitive. Definitely reminds me of a few bands, so probably not the most original style, but I like it and they do it very well. So, to answer the question, yes, they slayed.

Pretty generic, but good. I think this is what people think about when they hear Classic Rock. The band all around is very good, but the songs themselves kind of get boring and I wouldn't want to listen to this for any longer than the album already is. Definitely good, but not amazing.

This album felt very nostalgic despite me never hearing most of the songs before. That is with the exception of Embryonic Journey which ends my favorite show of all time, Friends. Other than that beauty, every song is good at least. It felt like I was in my grandparents car listening to 60s on 6, which is a station I'll need to check out again after finishing this list to see how many songs I recognize. This album may not be my preferred style of music, but it's always great when you listen to something you aren't used to and absolutely love every second of it. Jefferson Airplane is definitely a band I now intend on listening to more of. Thanks 1001 Albums for this gem.

Pretty average punk rock album. I jammed out to a couple and wished a few would end sooner, the perfect balance. This is much better than some punk albums I've heard, but nothing special.

This is the first Radiohead album I've listened to. I really do not have any complaints at all. Fake Plastic Trees is probably my favorite on the album, but so many come close. There is not a single song that is bad here. I am excited to hear more from Radiohead.

This album was a chore and a half. This is far from the king of pop title that I've heard be used about Prince. The vocals were fine, the instruments were fine, but just not great. I was honestly annoyed throughout most of this album

I know that one song by The White Stripes. Now I know a lot more and they were mostly really good. This album is right up my alley. There was a solid variety of songs as well, whether it was loud and heavy or soft. I will definitely come back to this album after listening to their other albums whether they are featured on this list or not. The White Stripes could become one of my favorite bands.

How do I begin? That works. Johnny Cash might not have had the best vocals at this point in his life, but that just makes this album hurt more. He definitely had some gas left in the tank and used it to put out one more amazing album before his death. All covers were chosen perfectly. Desperado, I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry and We'll Meet Again are heartbreaking in the originals, but just get elevated by Johnny Cash. His original songs are also amazing, especially Give My Love to Rose.

I am a huge Red Hot Chili Peppers fan, so seeing John Frusciante on Personal Jesus as well as a voice in We'll Meet Again in amazing.

This whole album is just Johnny Cash saying goodbye and it could not be any more sad, but I like to feel emotions when listening to music. Usually that emotion is anger or happiness, but the sad ones hit the hardest.

Words really just cannot describe just how amazing this album is.

This is a really good album. Shuggie Otis did most of the instruments himself along with singing, which is very impressive. I am very glad to have heard it and especially glad to now know of Shuggie Otis. I'll definitely give his other work a listen.
