It for sure is funky. Nothing immediately stands out to me honestly. I could see myself listening to any song here without paying much attention. I just don't think it would ever be my first choice. Funk music is definitely something I like, but I think I like more funk rock than just funk. Either way, still very solid and worth a listen.

I couldn't get much into this album. The singing isn't my favorite and the instrumentals were sometimes bare. A few tracks are really good though and I would definitely come back to this album.

The songs get repetitive. I like hos voice and the instruments are exquisite. Not much to dislike here honestly. I can jam out to this, but it's not my first choice.

I love the instruments and the idea of this album. The voice, I just cannot get behind. What was he thinking? Was he thinking? No idea, but it just gets annoying because the songs could be amazing, 5/5, but instead we get this disappointment

Groovy. Jazzy. Fun. Yeah. I liked it. Not exactly my style of rock, but I'd listen again. I would come back to this in the future

There is something comforting about this album. The instruments all play their part very well, usually taking a backseat to Bob Dylan's vocals. Too bad the vocals are mostly bad. Make You Feel My Love is really good and I think it works with his vocals unlike a lot of other songs in this album. I get the importance of it though. He's still making great music a few decades into the business. This is the first of his album's I've heard, so I'm not a big fan, so I can't appreciate this album for that yet. I would like to revisit this album after hearing his other stuff, but for now, this is where I'm at.

I have heard of Deep Purple, but I've never been a fan. Not until today that is, because wow this album had me intrigued from beginning to end. My one issue is that sometimes the guitar solos are so long that you forget what song you're listening to and then the chorus comes back and sounds out of place. That may lessen as I listen to these songs more and more and trust me I definitely will. All the instruments come together perfectly and I like the vocals. It's not very long either, so it didn't get boring or repetitive.

Rated 10/10

Yeah, I can see the hype. Very good and timeless album. I listen to very similar music all the time including a few of these songs. Nirvana isn't my favorite band by any means, but they are definitely up there for me. A couple more songs might be added to my main playlist from this album after this listen. I'd recommend this to any rock fan if they haven't already heard it.

Rated 8/10

This was really good. I have heard of Pixies, but never listened to them other than Where Is My Mind. I was very pleasantly surprised. This music is right up my alley. I like the shorter and more playful tracks and the longer and sometimes emotional tracks. I'll absolutely come back to this album.

Pretty good. Great voice, great lyrics, groovy and fun instrumentals. Nothing not to like, but for me, just not the exact style of music I listen to. This is about as good as a album can get without me wanting to come back to it. Maybe a song here and there, but not the whole album again. It's also iconic, so bonus points there for what it's worth.

Rated 4/10

What even is Hard Rock? This doesn't seem very hard to me. Anyway, it's pretty annoying. All the songs sound the same and not great. I don't think any are bad other than Born To Be Wild, but still. None are very good.

This is my favorite type of hip hop. I thought this was a really fun, energetic and sometimes emotional album that I enjoyed listening to. I don't listen to much hop hop outside of when it pops up on the generator, but I would come back to this in a heartbeat. My standouts are "If You Only Knew" "Break" "Remember His Name" and "Sum Of Us." It may not be perfect, but it's just a great listen.

Rated 8/10

Yeah, I really like this album. Very heavy on the piano and bass and that works perfectly here. Now, the star of the show is the amazing vocal performance. The lyrics might be pretty standard, but that doesn't matter when they sound amazing. I don't listen to this genre, but I would definitely come back to this album in the future. It sounds like music my mom would listen to and I like most of what she listens to, so that's good.

I didn't dislike the album. There are some good tunes. I liked Stop That Train the best. A lot of the tracks just felt bland and slow. I like that I listened, but probably won't return any time soon.

Wow. I am very familiar with later songs by Arctic Monkeys. I didn't think I knew any song from this album, but I did know A Certain Romance and I love that song.

My standouts are definitely A Certain Romance, From the Ritz to the Rubble, Riot Van and Fake Tales of San Francisco. Every song was really good, though. The only maybe downside is this is a VERY British album lol. I think it works here and I wouldn't want anything else from an Arctic Monkeys album, but it can be a bit much sometimes.

I do love this album after the first listen. It is not the best thing ever made, but it is fun and familiar. Nothing not to like here.

Rated 8/10

I'm slightly disappointed, but still I am glad I finally listened to this album after wanting to for a long time. Song 2 is honestly one of my favorite songs ever, so I was hoping to find some similarly amazing songs on this album, but that really didn't happen. Sure, a couple songs stood out over the rest along with Song 2, like M.O.R and Death of a Party. Most of the songs, however, just felt... there. The album is pretty long. I feel like a couple songs could have been kept for the deluxe version. Altogether, would listen again and probably will listen to most of these songs again, but as a whole, probably not.

It's not bad, but not exactly great either. Not a fan of the singing and the instrumentals didn't hit very well either for me. Solid album, though
