A second straight day of albums where every track feels the same, outside of the one I know (which still sounds the same as the rest). Not bad by any stretch, just repetitive. 2.5 rounded to 2

Sounded like the same song 12 times in a row, even the ones I know I’ve heard before. Not a fan

Gave this a shot once, didn’t like it. Gave it another shot today, still don’t like it, but I liked it enough to not give it 1 star like I planned - there are some good moments on here (Where the Wild Roses Grow, Henry Lee), but O’Malley’s Bar STILL runs on 10 minutes too long.

Good but not great. I think the way the album ended left a really bad taste in my mouth - a thud rather than a bang, you know? Bumping to 4 stars from 3.5

I really think my problem is that I didn't grow up with nirvana the way most people here did. I think this is a good acoustic set, but certainly not one of the best ever put to wax. Love the closer but that's really all.

This album has been on my list to listen forever, and I was fortunate enough to find this as my selection today. I think this is a fantastic album, but I came in expecting for this to sound like a Beatles album. It certainly did at points, but at others it certainly did NOT. 4 stars, though in the future I can see this bumping up to 5.

Enjoyable listen! Love the vocal harmonies of these three across the whole thing. Guinnevere is such a beautiful haunting track, one of their best. 3.5 bumped to 4

A classic. 80s synthpop at its' best. Yes, some slower tracks, but the faster paced tracks make it worth it imo. 4 stars easy

Man, absolutely could not stand this, even worse than nevermind. I genuinely really wish I appreciated this band more but this has taught me that I do not and cannot.

Didn't mind this one! Can definitely see the inspiration from the Marty Robbins album I got earlier, but in the same vein I can't see any of these standing out in particular. Just an enjoyable twangy listen.

Never heard this album before but I feel like I've heard it a hundred times

A great album with plenty of hits. I don't usually return to the full thing but it was enjoyable on my listens today. Still a few tracks I'm not huge on, but 4 stars is certainly fair

Enjoyable! The Apple Music version had a few extra songs which were nice, but the live versions at Newport were better. 3.5, bumping to 4

Inoffensive bossa nova. Can't complain!

I only had to listen to the first few songs to get an idea of what this was. Not for me.

Not my favorite Stevie Wonder album, but almost anything he puts out is going to clear most artists' entire discographies, hah. You can definitely hear him develop his artistry on this album, through songs like Superstition, You and I, You've Got it, etc. 4 stars easy

Nice that I got both Joy Division albums within days of each other, what are the odds? Both first listens (yeah I'm just getting on my music listening journey cut me some slack), but I found this one to be substantially better. Less self-loathing and catchier perhaps? Still not gonna give it above a 3, but I could see this one growing on me with repeated listens.

A little long but the songs were certainly enjoyable

Just really not my jam. Not the worst I've heard here, but I feel like I've heard better gothic/depressing rock than this so far on this list. I also think The Cure does it better.

The most Foo Fighters Foo Fighters album that ever Foo Fightersed. The Colour and the Shape is better
