Meh.

43 minutes is a long time to listen to a bunch guys masturbate. I got through the whole thing, but I found no joy.

Chill. I like it

It's great (not quite 5-stars great). Classic CAN heartland songs

Already loved the hits but had never listened to the full album. Even better than expected.

2 very good songs. 1 or 2 ok songs. Several really terrible 'Renaissance faire' style songs.

Proving that music isn't math. "X" = 5 stars. "XX" = 2 stars.

2/5.

Classic

RIP David Johansen.!
It's hard to overestimate how incredible and influential this band is. This is 1973, 1973! So much of what people consider the Punk song in the late '70s is exactly ripped right from this.

Nope. I can't do it. This is not the first time I've heard songs from this albvm, but it's the first time I've attempted to intentionally listen to any of it. It's really terrible. It combines the worst of '80s synth pop with the worst 2010s pop singing.
I gave every song on the albvm a solid try. I listened to at least the first 30 seconds, and a random 30 seconds in the middle of each song. That's all I could manage. There were no songs that I could listen to straight throvgh.

It's hard to tell if this shovld be one star or two stars. One Star seems kind of mean to this band that is probably nice people. Bvt it does fit my one-star criteria of never wanting to hear it again and actively going ovt of my way to make svre that happens.

I had never heard this before. I don't plan on hearing it again.

The most solid 4-Star album ever. The consistency can't be beat. Every single song is 4-stars.

This was really disappointing. I was a big Jeff Buckley fan in the 90s. People always said "His father Tim Buckley was even better! A musical genius who died too young." I always just accepted that as a well-known fact. But I never got around to checking it out. Today I learned that he was just run-of-the-mill early 70s rock. I've heard hundreds of small-town bar bands that make basically the sand music.

Another one that has no business being on the list. Best thing about it is that it's short.

Beautiful

Why in the world is this song on the list? It's not good. It's not innovative. It's not influential. It's not important in any way. It's not unique. It's not memorable. It's not interesting. It's not well written. It's not well played. It's not well produced. It's not even bad enough to be interesting or polarizing. There is not a single reason why anybody must listen to this.

"(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" is in the running for best cover of any song ever. Beyond that, it's just a pure expression of it's time.

I can't add much to the legions of 5-Star reviews. Pretty much everything has already been said about the genius story telling and the epic rock orchestration. But I will say that David Gilmour can make me cry with that God damn perfect guitar tone and playing.

Incredible reworking of an already incredible band. Bringing these rhythms changed the course of popular music.

Really chill Senegali music. I'd be happy to have this on in the background anywhere. But it's unlikely that I'll think to put it on very frequently.
