Not an offensive listen (I sought out the original 37 min version on YouTube for my sake and the sake of the Who's score), but truly not an important record to listen to before I die. 2/5

PJ is such an interesting and talented musician. I love that her songs inspire thought and reflection. Really good album. The only thing that might improve it is some more variety in the track listing with style and tempo. 4/5

There was really nothing enjoyable about this. The songs were so basic and tasteless. Not a fan. 1.4/5 - 1/5

Not incredibly exciting though the most atmospheric second half improved this albums score. 3/5

This must be Bowie's least iconic album cover. The music itself is pretty good, but drastically overshadowed by its predecessors and Blackstar. Still the beginning and a lot of the middle was outstanding. 3.4/5 - 3/5

Pretty good. Some trip hop, some electronic. If anything this record could be more focused, but not bad at all. 3/5

Sure, I'll admit most of these songs sound the same, and "The Chase is Better Than the Catch" is an abysmal track, but I do like the energy of motor motorhead songs and Lemmys vocals. 3/5

This wasn't as bad as I had anticipated! The straightforward parts were just fine, and it was experimental enough to gain respect. However, much of the record didn't necessarily sound good. Still though, essential for post punk. 2.7/5 - 3/5

This started pretty ok then quickly become forgettable and stale. Not for me. 2/5

A pretty engaging and interesting listen. Definitely a precursor to Gogol Bordello. 3.5/5 - 4/5

I definitely prefer this to early deep purple! Good funk mixed in. 3.5/5 - 4/5

Wow, what a horrible album, I hope there was never a volume 2. 0/5

This album is about as close to perfect as you can get. Well sequenced, every song stands on its own. 5/5

A whole lotta aimlessly rambling soft pop tracks, like most other Morrissey/Smith releases. Some ok songs here and there but otherwise underwhelming. 2/5

Damn, this album is thick with imagery about mortality and loss. So much so that I thought it was a posthumous release. While several of the songs were a tad similar and forgettable, most of them lyrically or musically made a serious impact. Tupac was talented at his craft and it's a damn shame we lost him the year after this release. 3.5/5 - 4/5

I'll give this a 2 for John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers' sake, but any time Eric Clapton was front and center my balls crawled up into my throat. 2/5

That was pretty funky. I gotta say, for an English white guy who is pulling directly from classic african american funk and created the group name based off a native american tribe, he's got some groove. Especially like the electronic elements. 3.5/5 - 4/5

Canterbury prog is good enough but did we really need it to seep into the 90s? Not bad overall but just kinda ok. 3/5

A fine bossa nova album with Frank Sinatra on it - whoopee. 3/5

Though I had a few initial reservations about her voice, I ended up liking this album ok. I appreciated how blunt the last song was, though it probably could have been written with a tad more tact. 3/5
