Yeah, it's mostly a bunch of covers, but these guys rock.

Favorite Songs: The Witch, Strychnine

Started out really strong with the world ambience, but as soon as it got to the hip hop it dropped off significantly.

Favorite Songs: Obatala, Double Dutch

Fun new wave pop. Just kinda blew by, but some great songs here

Favorite Songs: One Way or Another, Heart of Glass

I'm sorry but TWO HOURS?! And THIS is what you have to show for it? I'm someone who really likes D&B, but this is ridiculously bland.

The sound on this album is really unique, but it just didn't move me like it does for some people. I've listened to this several times before and each time I leave feeling it was good, but not great.

Favorite Songs: Paranoid Android, Lucky

David Bowie does soul music way better than you'd think, but he also has so many far superior works. Fame is so good though

Favorite Songs: Young American, Fascination, Fame

So glad I happened to wear a hoodie today, as it's the peak outfit for this album. Angsty, loud, over-the-top, and so of its time. American Idiot is an admittedly great song, but the rest kind of pales in comparison and feels like attempts to recapture the energy of that song, but just never quite hits the mark.

Favorite Songs: American Idiot, Letterbomb

Just really plain and unimaginative. I've heard hundreds of songs that sound like this.

Favorite Songs: Smoke 'Em, Scooby Snacks

I liked the ambience half of this more than the Krautrock half, but even then not by much. Rather bizarre album that shocked me with how much I liked it.

Favorite Songs: Leb' wohl, Seeland

Your typical Motown fare. It was a good time, but nothing that knocked my socks off

Favorite Songs: Gonna Keep on Shining, Cloud Nine

I hate overly theatrical music, and this just sounds like listening to a musical. If the musical isn't about men who like to be rich and fiddle on rooftops, I'm not interested.

Came in expecting new wave, left with funk? Certainly not a must listen, but I had a very good time. The album felt a little front loaded, but it had a very strong start

Favorite Songs: Lemon Firebrigade

It's like the Beatles but really really bad.

Is it Pink Moon? No. But it still has that ethereal feeling that Nick Drake has in his voice and it's still really good. Could do without some of the piano though.

Favorite Songs: Hazy Jane II, One of These Things First, Northern Skies

This is just Steely Dan. Not necessarily a bad thing, but I'd rather just listen to Steely Dan.

Favorite Songs: I.G.Y

No thank you. Was not impressed

Listen to this one again. Kinda just sounded like man music on a first listen, but there's definitely something else going on.

Favorite Songs: Black Hole Sun, Like Suicide

This album was like doing homework. I recognize that it was pretty good, and the guitar's killed in almost every song, but it was so much work to get through this. Just so long

Favorite Songs: Don't Look Now, Corona, The Glory of Man

This album is a really tight 20 minutes. This makes me want to skateboard aggressively.

Favorite Songs: Betray, Think Again

Really enjoyed this shoegaze album. The beginning was just fine, but it slowly built over the course of the album and crushed it at the end

Favorite Songs: Take Your Time, Angel Sigh, Sway
