Surprisingly enjoyed this one. The incorporation of folk and rock made it better for sure. Points lost for Waylon only helping to write one song on this album.

3.5/5.0

No sir, I will not lick your legs.

The songs in the first half are fun and interesting, the performances are good, and the melodies are memorable. The 3 ambient songs in the second half were really interesting (Eno's influence is obvious here), totally unexpected, and ultimately enjoyable.

Frampton what?!

Not the worst thing boomers did, but that's a high bar to get over.

Started off pretty good, but his voice really drags this down as the album goes along. Also, yet another fairly boring artist with three albums on this list while super creative, interesting (and more popular) artists are left off.

She has a nice voice, but the music is severely lacking to the point of being unlistenable.

Wasn't expecting to like this, but it's a good mix of psych, ambient, and dance music. It does drag on a bit towards the end.

The music on this is really good and interesting, but the 80s production on this is super annoying.

Each song could really be about 45 seconds long. They stop developing after that point. The drum sound is obnoxious. The interludes should've been cut. She does have a great voice.

Fun stuff.

This album begins with a 42 minute slog of a track that - oh wait, I just checked. It's only four minutes, it just feels 10 times longer than that. Now repeat that same experience for all 11 songs.

Points for at least being distinctive, but my main complaints are the basslines (literally the same note played over and over for every song) and the complete lack of vocal melody, which is an issue when there is so much apathy in the performance.

This is some hipster shit. I like it.

Not the best Doors album, but still sleazy, groovy, and dark.

4.5/5.0: Excellent

This was fine, but it dragged sooooooooo much. Points lost for doing nothing that hadn't been done a million times before.

2.0/5.0: Disappointing

Goofy like a bad musical. Hard to believe they wrote "I'm Not In Love", which is such a great song. Points for trying a lot of different things.

2.5/5.0: Mixed.

Incredible album from top to bottom. Lyrically, musically, and vocally, it hasn't been topped in its genre since and it's not even close really.

5.0/5.0: Iconic

Great voice. Not a huge fan of the songs with the blaring horns.

4.0/5.0

I thought this was a lot better than Meat Is Murder. More creativity and better vocal melodies.

4.5/5.0: Excellent

Unique and interesting combo of delta blues and hip-hop. Gave me Jack White vibes. Easy to see why it made the list. That said, 57 minutes is just too long for this kind of thing.

3.5/5.0: Very Good
