This was a very interesting album. It was nice to get something a little bit different on the list. It is a little long, but not overly so.

3.5/5.0: Very Good

Major points scored for having an appropriate runtime and ditching the 90s penchant for silly skits. As for the music, the production is not very good, with Method Man's voice being almost completely buried at times - almost like he's recording his vocals from the next room through a cardboard wall. That said, the dark vibes and atmospheric music are really neat and give this album a unique sound.

3.5/5.0: Very Good

Nice melodies and a short album length.

4.5/5.0:Excellent

So many hits on this one. A great album.

5.0/5.0: Iconic

I tried to give him another chance on this one, but oh my God is this bad. It's all the worst tendencies and tropes of early rock 'n' roll mashed together with a mumbling, stuttering vocal performance. It's difficult to conceive how this was ever popular.

0.5/5.0: Unlistenable

Pretty iconic album. When I think of folk punk, this is the album that comes to mind. It's a little silly or annoying at times, but mostly this is good, entertaining stuff.

5.0/5.0: Iconic

This was fine, but it's hard to differentiate it from a lot of other post-punk.

3.0/5.0: Good

This was a lot better than the other LCD Soundsystem album I've gotten on this list. These actually sounded like songs and had structure. That said, the album is a tad too long.

3.0/5.0: Good

I enjoyed this album. Quite different for new wave.

4.5/5.0: Excellent

This was a well done album. I liked the instrumentation and melodies. It is a little long, but not overly so.

3.5/5.0: Very Good

Really fun album that doesn't waste time.

4.5/5.0: Excellent

Lots of variety, but unfortunately most of it is still boring or annoying, and the album itself is 25 minutes too long.

2.0/5.0: Disappointing

Some of it is a little boring and jammy, but I like a good jam and the instrumentation is great.

3.5/5.0: Very Good

Love the variety and lyricism on this.

4.5/5.0: Excellent

Really interesting musically, especially the rhythm section. Vocals reminded me of Jim Morrison.

4.0/5.0: Great

Easy to see why they didn't make another album for 27 years. When there isn't a conversation taking place, the music dull or grating, and the vocals are obnoxious. Points for some cool piano parts.

1.5/5.0: Bad

The production is annoying and outdated, but the songs themselves are pretty good.

2.5/5.0: Mixed

It's always great when a super influential album is also amazing in its own right. Easy five stars.

5.0/5.0: Iconic

This has its moments (the bluesier bits), but mostly its yawn-inducing country-tinged rock.

2.0/5.0: Disappointing

This is well done electronica/pop. I find it a little boring, but I can recognize that it's good within its genre.

3.0/5.0: Good
