If my kink was catchy, not bad but fairly average albums, then this would be an easy 5.

I had only previously been exposed to a little bit of The Cure, some of the hits mostly. This is about what I expected sound-wise. The songs are mostly average, but the last 4 songs are pretty good (particularly A Forest & Seventeen Seconds). The music is better than the singing.

I probably should have listened to this about a month ago during the full swing of Christmas spirit. But anyway, this would be a fine listen for the month of December. Nothing special, nothing bad. It's Christmas music, whaddya want.

Well, it's jazz, so a 3 is about the ceiling jazz will get with me. I can recognize the talent at play here, but doubt this will ever be something I just throw on to listen to unless I have some great jazz awakening in my future.

I'm not sure what you call the style of this album, but it doesn't do it for me. There are some moments I enjoyed, but overall maybe just too theatrical for my liking.

She's definitely talented, and has a strong social conscience. Pretty good songs too! Nothing less than good on my first impression. A fairly strong album.

Some good ole fashioned rockin'! Not bad at all, they probably could have gotten away with calling themselves Moderately Priced Trick.

It's a well-known fact that Miles Davis is cool. Unfortuately for me, I'm not, and as a result jazz doesn't really do much for me. Nevertheless, you can tell this is quality stuff, even if it isn't something I'm particularly into.

About time I fill my REM blindspot. I've really been deep sleeping on them!

A solid album, nothing more nothing less.

Emerson Lake & Palmer? Don't even Emerson Lake & know 'er.

The musicianship is good, but the music for the most part isn't all that interesting. I did like that time it sounded like they were playing Lazy by Deep Purple, though.

Pretty foolish. It's got a few good tunes, but mostly it's not for me.

My first time ever listening to Manic Street Preachers. Definitely one of those bands prominent in my music blind spot. First impression is that it's nothing groundbreaking, but it is quite good at what it does. A handful of standout tunes, and the rest are perfectly fine. No dislikes in the bunch. Preach on, brothers!

While there are other Pink Floyd albums that I prefer to listen to, this was the first one that pulled me in back when I was a teenager. This is my first time listening to it start to finish in well over a decade. Still holds up, actually even better than I expected it would!

Pretty nice harmonies & overall rather basic, unoffensive music. It's fine, just fine.

Expected more songs about monsters. Got a pretty decent classic rock album. Not bad!

I like when Chuck D goes off spittin' truths, but not big on the Flavor Flav contributions. Got a lot of respect for Public Enemy, but this isn't one I'm likely to return to.

Awesome album. The songs I wasn't already familiar with are fantastic. A true classic!

Nope, this ain't for me. Might as well stay at Mister Kelly's cuz I ain't lettin' you in.

Better off spending Sunday at church under the steady gaze of the blessed sweet little blue eyed baby Jesus. Nah, it's fine. I'm not a jazz guy but I s'pose I'd throw this on in the event that it seemed like a time to throw on some jazz.

Despite being pretty familiar with some Deep Purple tunes for a long time, I've never listened to Made In Japan in full. This definitely rocks!
