Not a huge fan. I recognized one of the songs from tiktok but that's about it. A little whiny

Really liked this more than his 2024 release. Good beats, decent grooves, nice transitions. Piano ballad was a highlight.

Okay, look. I understand that this album hasn't exactly aged gracefully, something anyone can gather after three seconds of listening (misogyny, homophobia, fuck Eazy-E, etc). But two things remain true:
1) This album PIONEERED hip hop and is one of the most influential albums of all time. I've heard many of these bars and beats throughout my life and it really does still have that classic boom bap sound (even if the lyrics are dated as hell). That saves this album to be 3.5 for me, rounding to 3.
2) This album pisses off Gen Xers and boomers beyond belief and it is the funniest fucking thing imaginable. Take 5 minutes and look at the negative reviews of this album. Just some of the saltiest, most racist shit present on this website. Multiple slurs (and stuff that could be interpreted as slurs). Equal parts funny and horrifying. It's not 1992 anymore, get a grip.

Never listened to the screamy face man album (largely out of spite?), but this was pretty good. I liked the opener and closer's prog a lot, the middle was a bit slower than I'd like. Rounding up to 4

Inoffensive synth pop. I hear the beach house influence on here, but it's just not as good as them unfortunately. 3 stars.

Very enjoyable, a classic jazz album

An album I've never understood the hype for honestly. Definitely sounds like the cure, and most of their albums sound pretty similar. Just not my style.

Fleet Foxes is my favorite band of all time, that’s no question. This isn’t my personal favorite from them (Crack-Up RULES), but this is a great starting point. No modern band is doing this level of harmony right now. If you liked this, PLEASE give the rest of their discography a chance, it evolves quickly past safe indie folk.

I mean.... come on. Is this even music?

Enjoyed this a lot, not as much as the other LZ albums I've gotten on here though. Loved the folkiness of it.

Honestly not my favorite Radiohead album as it was in years gone by, but I can't help respect the creativity they have on this album especially given when it was released. Worth 4 stars for that alone.

One of my favorite albums of all time. Very few albums have replicated the low-fi nature plus stunning guitar work and lyricism that Nick Drake implements on this album. You can clearly hear the contemporaries he influences in some of my other favorite artists - Sufjan Stevens, Elliott Smith, Adrianne Lenker to name a few - but this album is truly unique. Highly, highly recommend.

I do like Queens of the Stone Age, but this album feels a little generic relative to the rest of their discography

I really do try to give every album on here a shot. This one didn't last long.

Too many synths. Not a huge fan off a first listen

Whatever honkey tonk really

I have had many a friend tell me that they don't like the Beatles, or that they think the Beatles are overrated. I can understand the perspective if they've only listened to the radio.
However, if that is the case, I ask them to sit down and listen to Abbey Road. Usually that opens their ears. If they maintain their opinion, then I know they're either lying about listening to the album, or I never trust them for a music-related opinion ever again.

This was incredible. Easy 5 stars

Whatever country, really. Not my favorite genre

Really liked this. What a happy guy!
