I'm no mathematician, but I sure counted a lot of songs with irritating, grating sounds that repeated over & over & over again.

A very chill & pleasant listen. Not particularly outstanding, but would pair well with any task that requires mental focus.

Ugh.

Look, I know it's from a different album, but since I don't know if that one will come up here I just want to make sure it gets said, because it needs saying:

Dear Nazi Punks (elected and otherwise): FUCK OFF.

The gold standard for late career (and late life) albums. The American recordings were truly special, and Johnny Cash absolutely cemented his legacy with this one.

There are some great songs on here. Definitely some standouts on initial listen, and this feels like one where the ones that didn't initially stand out would reveal themselves on subsequent listens.

This has a pretty cool vibe. Definitely enjoyed some tracks quite a bit, while some others were just ho-hum.

A pretty nice album. I was already familiar with some of it from way back when it came out, but didn't remember anything outside of Fight Test & Do You Realize?. Found a few new-to-me gems on this listen, and then a good few tunes that were just kinda ho-hum samey. Not bad.

Kinda love this. The 'tude, the German accent, and the raggae influened punk come together in way that agrees just fine with my tastes.

Joni is pretty damn sublime. I had never previously listened to this album, but it's as good as I had hoped it would be.

Maybe if I was an angsty teen I would be into this. But then again, I *was* an angsty teen when this came out and I thought it sucked then too. Maybe it just sucks.

I'm definitely not an electonica guy by any stretch of the imagination. I don't hate this, though. It's just fine.

Sometimes music just isn't good. This is one of those times.

Completely generic, inoffensive in every way, music. Reckon it's good for napping.

I would consider The Suburbs to be the last truly great Arcade Fire record, and the final entry in a 3 album run as good as any band has ever released. I've loved this since it came out, and even if it doesn't spend the time in my ears that it once did, but I can confirm that it's still an absolutely fantastic listen.

No bad songs on this, which is impressive given the total # of tracks. Somehow I had never listened to this start-to-finish until now, despite being familiar with several songs already. Glad I finally gave this the time of day!

A pleasant listen. Nothing jumped out as being particularly outstanding, but there was also nothing that I disliked.

I have been familiar with Common People for ages now, and it is an absolute banger. The rest of the album doesn't live up to it, but it's not bad either. Just average.

Springsteen stripped down to just his voice, and acoustic guitar, and a harmonica is the best Springsteen. Sure, the usually big, bombastic Springsteen sound is also good on the ears, but there's just something about the rawness of Nebraska that scratches right where I itch.

Funky as hell. Misogynistic as hell.
