I liked it! Pretty excellent sound and some nice, gruff vocals.

Inoffensive, but ultimately unsatisfying. Like plain white bread.

There's a bit of 'oomph' I'm missing from the other Stevie Wonder album on this list. It has its charms, and Superstition is an amazingly funky and groovy track. But other than that, it does tend to blend together.

An insanely good, high energy, varied album that somehow keeps surprising you despite its length of numbers. When they pulled out the buddhist chanting, I was utterly but pleasantly surprised. The feature with Q-Tip was great - he played off really wel with the boys.

Good lush beats, good flow, and just straight up good hip-hop. The topics of the songs tend to get a bit repetitive, but this is definitely an album I'm going to listen again to. Fuck the pigs.

There's a few hidden gems here and there, but overall, it is the same folk nonsense that I've already grown tired of after hearing Bob Dylan. The only difference here is that James Taylor does have a nice singing voice.

It's quite telling that I was listening to this while working, and at one point a track came on that I thought "oooh, now this is -good-!" I checked it out and Youtube had just skipped over to Daft Punk on auto play. The entire time, however, there was no track that stood out except for 'Drop the Pressure.' If you're going to Destroy Rock & Roll, you gotta do better than this, folks.

Short but sweet, I liked it! It was nice to listen to in the background, and you could definitely see how this became the progenitor of rock and roll.

The man, the myth, the legend. It feels particularly a propos for Stevie Wonder. Never has a song outstayed their welcome in this album. Never have I complained about the length of the songs on here. Never has this album failed to make me smile after each song.

Just straight up great sampling and dance music that makes you wanna bust out some moves right then and there. It's a diverse array of songs too, which helps to give it some staying power. Genuinely enjoyed it.

Full disclaimer: I had to look up a user-cobbled together album on Youtube just to listen to this elusive thing.

It's good rock, nothing to write home about, but the sheer unavailability of it makes me deduct points. I don't know the story behind it, and I know the band had its issues with the production of this album. But my god, it is 2025!

Björk's unique voice, the groovy dance soundtrack, and the fun experimental songs make this album a lovely, relaxing trip. I appreciated the broad spectrum of topics here: from love, eroticism, to almost childlike wonder.

I think where Bob Dylan truly shines is in his lyricism. He evokes a lot of beautiful and memorable imagery in his songs. It's just a darn shame that his voice gets a bit on the nerves after listening to over an hour of it, and some of the songs on Blonde against Blonde felt like they were stretched out unhealthily. The country vibes are not for me.

Good rocking. No further notes needed.

Just in comparison to the other Steely Dan album on the list, I found this to be much more energetic and musically interesting. The guitar work is a lot more complex.

Relaxing, beautiful vocals and all around a delight to listen to.

Paper Planes is of course the biggest hit, but I found most of the album to be quite catchy. The rap flow is more of a hit and miss, with the most awful outlier being Mango Pickle Down River, which feels like baby's first rap beat. Maybe that was the point, but it was jarring enough for me to no longer feel this album.

Well, it's definitely quite good, and I do love the happy songs on here. Some of the lyrics are... questionable, but there's no denying that the Beatles deserve credit for paving the way for so many artists and bands.

Silky smooth vocals, but sorely lacking in variety.

Good lyrics, good variety... Overall, I enjoyed this album, but it's not my cup of tea.
