You can always count on Jack White to put out some top notch tunes. Everything on here ranges between good and excellent.

Definitely some tunes here that I enjoyed. But the crooning & high-pitched strings are things that I can only take in small doses.
You can definitely hear how it helped shape the future sound of punk. The music itself is nothing special but the songs are good solid punk tunes. Nothing especially stood out to me but it was still a decent listen.
Rated 4/10
An interesting concept for an album, but that's where anything interesting about it ends. Not my cup of tea.
Rated 6/10
As smooth & chill as it gets. Not a big jazz guy but this was a pleasant listen.
Rated 10/10
Ladies, gentlemen, and the rest of ya:
This fucking rocks.
Rated 6/10
Coldplay generally gives me a fairly visceral "YUCK, I DON'T LIKE THIS!" feeling, as their sound if a bit too commercial for my liking. That said, they hadn't quite yet stumbled into their go-to formula for commercial success on this first album, so this one is somewhat interesting to listen to. I still don't love it, but it's not bad.
Rated 6/10
There's a certain brilliance to this album. Also a certain ridiculousness. I really enjoyed some of it, and the parts that didn't do it so much for me at least came in shorts spurts. I probably won't ever listen to this start-to-finish again, but there will certainly be songs that stay with me.
Rated 6/10
A fun listen that is pretty well up my well-versed alley of 90s alt-rock. Nothing groundbreaking but pretty enjoyable.
Rated 4/10
They should call this genre of music borecore. Not much interesting going on here, and even the singers sound bored. Guess I just don't get it.
Rated 4/10
Music to turn any occasion into a dull affair.
Rated 6/10
Always nice to get some CanCon up in this mafk. KD Lang is one of those artists where I have always been familiar with a couple of songs (Constant Craving & Miss Chatelaine), but I've never actually listened to her beyond those. Found a few pleasant surprises here, and a few songs that just kind of plod on. It's aight.
Rated 6/10
The 2 big songs are absolute classics for a reason. Just all-time great songs. The rest of the songs don't live up to those, but also aren't bad.
Rated 6/10
Solid enough, with a few standout tracks. I'm not the biggest hip hop head but I can appreciate this well enough.
Rated 10/10
A perfect example of how to get a whole lot out of very little. This has super basic instrumentation but the songs still all completely kick the llamas ass. This is absolutely stacked with classic songs that have been with me for over 20 years now. It's been awhile, though, since I listened to the full album start to finish, and I found myself loving the songs that I had forgotten about. An excellent listening experience start to finish.
Rated 4/10
Well pop music isn't what my ears enjoy so this didn't stand much of a chance, but I can see someone with pop stronger sensibilities being into it.
Rated 6/10
Sounds exactly like I expect a Paul Simon album to sound. Safe, inoffensive music played well & written well.
Rated 4/10
Not bad, but a bit too sickly sweet for my cold, dead heart.
Rated 2/10
My ears are never going to financially recover from this.
Rated 6/10
Nothing groundbreaking, but some good tunes and overall just a real house of fun.
