I wish I could listen to this album for the first time again. SOAD is just stacked with talent. Amazing performances, lyrics and a welcome break from the usual English rock crap this list is saturated with. 5/5

Lush orchestrations and a interesting voice. Some moments were a little sleepy but overall this was a memorable album. 3.7/5 -> 4/5

A super solid album from start to finish. Pretty distinct and interesting, with some decent heaviness. Run to the Hills was a pleasant surprise. 4/5

Uninteresting muzak with only a few enjoyable moments. 2/5

Pretty impressively built and executed album. Good sequencing, varied song styles, catchy hooks, great instrumentals. The only thing holding it back it some of the middle tracks are a tad forgettable and have uninteresting concepts. All around a good album. 4/5

The shoegazy elements of this album were OK, but the "funk" was nonexistent other than some bass passages - mostly sounded like badly sung punk/post punk other than a few moments. 2/5

Honestly, I like both electronic music and trip hop and this album doesn't scratch either itch. Some interesting moments at the beginning and end of the album but otherwise pretty lacking. 2/5

Dad rock doesn't typically do it for me, but this was much more interesting a listen than other Who records I've listened to. Some lulls, but an even mix of 3s and 4s. 3.5/5 - > 4/5

A discount Beatles knockoff group from the US - Much less personality and attention to detail. Very very meh. 2/5

I love me some grunge and grew up in Seattle but have never listened to Sleater-Kinney before - that was really good! Nice hooks and I love the lead vocalists voice. Some songs were forgettable but this is a group I'd be curious to listen to more. 4/5

While post-grunge has to be one of the WORST musical successors of all time, spewing out shit bands like Bush, Nickelback, Creed, Staind, Puddle of Mudd, Breaking Benjamin, Three Days Grace, Shinedown, Seether, and Matchbox Twenty; I have to give this album sine street cred for it's historical significance. Dave Grohl creating this entirely on his own and finishing within a month is insane. Makes me a proud Seattleite to see how for the FF have gone, even having their own stand in Jojo.
While the movement they created is one of the worst, I appreciate this album as a relic of the time. 3/5

It's like someone's uncle from Essex stole the karaoke mic for a half hour and slowly got drunker and drunker while preforming. This at no point was an enjoyable listen. 1/5

Other than the important social commentary, I'm not usually into old school hip hop. This album started strong but very much dragged in the middle with repetitive beats and samples. Bring the Noize was just what I needed to snap out of it, and rounded the album up a bit. 2.7/5 - > 3/5

A progressive rock masterpiece. 5/5

I listened to this album almost four times to figure out what I thought about it - Its OK.
I hear a lot of promise when the group is really playing hard rock on... Lose Control and Darkside Light side, but everything in the middle is generally pretty toothless pop/alt rock with a noise lean. There are a couple standout moments in the middle: I'd Give You Anything is nice and loud, the strings on Oh Yeah are pleasant though the song is repetitive. All around not bad but really wished the band just went for it. 3/5

"Wonderbread: the album". Very standard folk with little in the way of surprises. 3/5

Some very interesting, cool moments. Also, some extremely tacky and cheesy moments. All around not bad and I enjoyed the jazz and electronic elements. 3/5

While this is a good album, it certainly lacks the polish on her later releases. I especially liked the tracks Venom and Wounds. 3/5

A pretty weak alt rock/post punk album. Some OK moments but generally this was not an ultra enjoyable listen. 2/5

Pretty good indie album that sounds very similar to Father John Misty. Will I listen to it again? Probably not. But good enough when it's on. 3/5
