I probably would have liked this when it came. But now it just feels old and boring

Very talented guy making music I just can't get into

W T actual F?

Beyond the fact that it's bad, it's also just dumb.

I'm annoyed that I had to listen to this. But I feel really bad for the people who bought a ticket and had to sit through this in person.

This is my fifth Stevie Wonder album of the project. My review is basically the same as the others. The upbeat songs are some of the best songs ever recorded. The ballads are just garbage.

It's Tom Waits doing peak Tom Waits stuff. Some people seem to hate it. That's cool. I love it. 5-stars.

I expected the homespun tails. I expected all the religious references. But I didn't expect the white trashiness of it all! Lots of weird songs about a young girl running off with the same man as her mother and other trailer park fare. I now see Dolly in a whole new light! And I'm here for it. And of course her amazing voice.

Honestly, it's better than I expected. It's also way more talking than I expected. Why is he talking all the time? Some of the songs are pretty decent, some of them sound like they're meant to be a joke. And then there's just a lot of talking. Every time you think it's just a little bit of talking for an intro, it just ends up being more talking.

Rhymes with shitty.

I'm a little torn on how to rate this album. It probably has the best collection of amazing songs of just about any album. But The Christine McVie songs are some of the worst songs ever recorded. Songbird and Oh Daddy are so ridiculously bad that I can't justify saying they are on a 5 Star album.

I've listened to this album a thousand times. But for the sake of this project, I've listened to it very carefully a few times through and it's pretty obvious that there are three tiers of this album.
1) Stevie Nicks songs: Gold dust woman, dreams. Absolutely some of the best music ever made..
2) Lindsey Buckingham songs: fantastic music, moderately okay vocals. Generally pretty good classic rock songs
3) Chrissy McVie songs. Absolute trash

Much better than I expected

Not even my favorite White Stripes album. Still an easy 5 stars

For me, this will always be the sound of Elvis.

This album was an absolute staple of my childhood. Partly because it was huge everywhere, but also because I grew up in the Boston area. Every kid from New England in the 70s and 80s knows this album note for note. It's hard to overstate the impact of this album and this band in New England. In 1987 they went on tour after a 8 year hiatus. When the tour came to the Worcester Centrum (which was the biggest arena in the Boston area at the time) they immediately sold out the two or three scheduled nights. They then added a couple of nights and sold them out. This went on and on until they ended up playing nine sold out shows in a row! It was insane! I've never seen something like it where a concert just kept selling tickets and adding dates.

Tom Scholz is also one of the most underrated innovators in rock music history. As an MIT engineer, he just invented the tools needed to get the sound he wanted because they didn't exist yet.

This is lame. And so is this list

Comes on strong and never let's up

I'll give her this, the pretentious vocal style perfectly matches the pretentious lyrics.

So Dylan had this in his till tool kit the whole time? Lyrically solid, and such far more interesting music than his usual.

This sounds like a rough draft of a tool album. Like the guys from Tool had a free hour and decided to lay down some concepts for a future recording. Spoken ideas that would get fleshed out into real lyrics and vocals later. Simple, droning bass and guitar to try some chord changes, and placeholder burts of loud guitar. And no real drumming to speak of, just some time keeping. Probably would be an amazing album if they finished it.

I was so disappointed when this album first came out. It was a terrible transition from a dirty, hard Rock band into shiny synth pop band. It's really no surprise that they fell apart after this since they had no cohesive sound. This album still has a couple of bright spots, but for the most part I can't stand to listen to it.

This can't be serious. It's so absurd that it had me literally laughing out loud.
