Rated 6/10
I have a soft spot for soul sisters singing sweetly. This album has a ton of great tracks. It doesn’t hang together as a unified album necessarily, so runs way too long. But I like plucking tracks from this for other playlists. How to rate?
Rated 8/10
Ahh, well. You know, sometimes listening to one of the most famous hard rock albums of the 70s is just a plain old hoot.
Rated 6/10
Some good tracks on here, mixed with some mediocre ones. It all feels very dated, and a bit like experimental noodling. I know I know. Allmusic called it a “masterpiece”.
Rated 10/10
Listening to Rain Dogs makes me profoundly happy. The world would be such a better place if we’d all just take some time to love the wonderful carnival of Tom Waits’ mind for awhile.
Rated 10/10
Watching Iggy hobble around the stage at age 76 with no shirt, looking like a saddle bag full of live cats (see Wikipedia photo for reference), converting drunk fratboys song by vigorous song, is one of my fondest festival memories. The sleazy sack of wormmeat that is The Idiot only enhances the legend.
Rated 4/10
Some albums just stand the test of time, exposing new layers and depths when you listen at different stages of your own life. Fine wine classics. This is not one of them.
Rated 6/10
Ponderous themes and ponderous production. But sometimes it kind of rocks.
Aretha is so amazing and she elevates these tracks so high, it feels a bit cheap to dig on the band, who are only serviceable. So, because of that one thing, I won’t award this album six stars. Six is too generous.
Rated 10/10
koff koff…ahem…
Rated 8/10
Sorry dh, are you kidding me? This album slaps. 3.5 stars, bumped up for the image of someone listening three full times to award it a 1-star review.
Rolling Stone Magazine watch: five mentions in album Wikipedia page.
Note: album Wikipedia page in unconscionable.
Rated 8/10
Didn’t spend too much time with this one at the time. I determined that the album is the perfect soundtrack for decorating the yard for Halloween. High praise indeed.
Rated 6/10
Medium-good Radiohead album. Very medium-good.
UPDATE: project partner xilef couldn’t get the edit function to work so he sent me his review to add here:
It's uh very like computery and autotuned in some songs and I like that but it's also like normal and that's what makes it good. I also really liked in the first song the drums. It's a good mixture of electronic and rock. And also the tiniest bit of pop. xilef's rating: 4 stars
