I didn't think I was a big Nick Cave fan, mainly because of the voice (reminds me of an older Johnny Cash), but I REALLY enjoyed the instrumentation, especially on the first album.

An album I've always wanted to listen to but never had the motivation. Met expectations, I'd say, really enjoyed the atmosphere
Rated 4/10
Repetitive certainly
People say this album is super influential, and I don't doubt it - and maybe it's because I wasn't around when this came out - but it just doesn't hit too hard for me. I think Heroin is very cool, and I'm not too fond of the experimental bits, but I think it's supremely overrated if anything.
Rated 4/10
This sounds like if you told someone to record a rock album at The Haunted Mansion
Rated 8/10
Felt a little long at parts but otherwise pretty good!
Rated 10/10
Wow, really loved this even if I didn't understand a word. Great rhythm, great harmonies, very very groovy
Rated 2/10
Yeah, just not the genre for me... oh well
Rated 2/10
I didn't think I was a metal fan, now I KNOW I'm not a metal fan. Guitar is fine, but vocals are horrendous.
Rated 6/10
Also not bad. Not great either, but unsure why U2 gets such a bad rap.
Rated 2/10
Awful. Girls might be the worst song I've ever heard, laughably bad. Yeah, No Sleep Till Brooklyn and Fight for your Right are on here, but they're overplayed and I could not STAND them. Brass Monkey is super corny, too. Nothing else memorable. Glad to never have to listen to this album ever again.
Rated 10/10
Really enjoyed this. Only ever listened to Rumours like most people my age, but there were some good poppy tracks combined with some great songwriting. Probably the best album that I've never heard so far.
Rated 8/10
Never been a metal guy but I really enjoyed the guitar work on this album, will listen again
Rated 6/10
Enjoyable, but forgettable
Actually incredible pick. Best new album I've heard so far. Love the songwriting, love the electric guitar.
Rated 6/10
Not bad at all! Didn't realize I knew the first track until I got war flashbacks to every commercial I've ever heard
Rated 6/10
Was actually pleasantly surprised by this one. Recognized a couple tunes from soccer chants. Wouldn't listen again but I expected for it to be a lot less
I mean holy shit it's the monkey album
Rated 6/10
I have tried this album a lot in my life, because I feel like it's an album I SHOULD love. Each time I like it a little more, but not enough to give it more than 3 stars. Just feels kinda dated to me, I dunno
Quite enjoyed this! Love some politically charged folk music
Rated 8/10
Solid disco!
