Peak Aerosmith

It's really hard to listen to this in 2026 and give it an objective rating. I'm pretty confident that if I heard this when it first came out with fresh ears, I probably would be blown away by it. But I didn't. I came out a few years before I was even born, so I have spent 55 years of my life listening to this and all the rest of Dylan. Unfortunately, that makes me a little sick of it, and little jaded on Dylan overall.

So I'll just stick with my subjective scoring and be a little generous with four stars. Normally four stars are reserved for something that I'd be happy to put on it at any time, but the truth is I really didn't even feel like listening to it right now. But I did, and it's good, and it deserves to be highly regarded.

Innovative, influential, and goofy as hell.

I was 16 when this came out. And it was a staple straight through college. So my rating is clearly biased, but this is the straight five star banger.

This is such a mixed bag. Some of it is absolutely revolutionary, and some of it is laughably stupid. I think I appreciate Sonic youth more than I actually like them.

Four stars for the music. Minus two for Dexter's voice. I've never been able to listen to The Offspring, his voice just makes no sense for this type of music.

I'm sorry that you don't understand how characters work.

I was 7 when this album came out and I thought the lyrics were amazing! Killing beasts? Cool !

50 years later it just all sounds so cheesey. And I could be wrong, but I'm not.

Not my favorite Madonna era.

Influencial. But I'm not listening to it regularly

Oris for POTUS

I grew up in the '70s. Led Zeppelin and all the other hard rock classic rock bands are ingrained in my DNA. So much so that I'm completely sick of it and never ever reach for a classic rock album. But then I find myself pressing play on led Zeppelin IV because it's part of my journey on this 1001 album project. And I can't fucking stop listening. I thought I was sick of every note of this album, but I can't deny that I love every note of it.

So fun! sent me when a seeing rabbit hole.

These guys are better than Spinal Tap at keeping a straight face while making absurd music with ridiculous lyrics.

Duh.

I'll be honest, I'm not listening to this. My patience for pedophiles is at all all time low (yes that's a real sentence I never thought I'd have to say). It's 2026 and we (the USA) have a pedophile for a president. And somehow that's OK with a large portion of the population. It's not OK with me.

So I'm not going to stream this and fund this pedo. I'm going to give it 1 star and hope for something better tomorrow.

Is Wilco and this album way over hyped and over rated? Totally. Is my job to under rate this album as some sort of correction? Not at all. I'd give it 7/10, but I'll round up to 4/5.

I'll have to take your word for it.

I guess I like the idea of MBV better than the reality

Come take my cool card. I'm giving this four stars
