Not a style of music I would seek out on my own but also nothing to be upset about being assigned. Good, easy listening with a Spanish flavor.

Definitely The Cure’s best album. Moody and dark but somehow still light and fun.

It’s Morrisey. Solo. You know what to expect: Moody lyrics and 90s style British alternative rock. Not a bad song on the album but no real standouts either

I love their music but David’s vocals start to wear on me after a while.

Didn’t know what to expect but was impressed. It’s like massive attack meets the cardigans. Moody instrumental music and the tracks that feature vocals are often haunting.

Not a fan of this style of music so this was hard to get through.

The standout tracks are amazing, some of the unknown tracks are good, but there’s still some filler on the album. All in all, worth a second listen.

Kind of a punk – grunge sound but nothing really memorable from this album. Worth a listen but nothing to get excited about

I despise country so this album was my worst nightmare. 42 songs that, to me, all sound the same. I can’t give it a one star rating because it’s terrible to me, but it’s not completely terrible. I can only take so much banjo, fiddle and nasal singing. A 42 track double album is about 10 times more than I’m able or willing to consume.

Meh. Probably would have liked this more had I heard it upon release. Good overall but a few tracks just hit my ears wrong.

Smooth and groovy hip-hop beats. Nothing to not like

Several stand out tracks but not as great as an album as advertised. Several weaker songs, especially at the back of the album.

I think it’s impossible to dislike Charles Mingus. Another quality album of his.

While not a Nirvana hater, I always ranked them at the bottom of the grunge bands. In my (rarely) humble opinion, they were the least talented of the bunch and definitely the most abrasive sounding. Considering they specifically hired a producer for this album to make it sound MORE abrasive, it’s just not for me. Three standout songs and the rest are iffy at best with a couple that are just hard to listen to.

Almost gave it 2 stars but the standout songs are some of their biggest hits and are really good.

Never heard of them but happy to have gotten this one. What a wild ride! Great jam-bandish style classic rock with an edge and a flare for the dramatic.

Excellent, moody, atmospheric electronic soundtrack music. The last song was the only one I didn’t enjoy.

174 albums in and I get my first one star album!

God. Awful. UK rap from 2003 featuring grimy dubstep inspired beats. He has a terrible habit of using the most annoying vocal loop as part of his beat samples. Could not get through this one fast enough!

Definitely my favorite of their albums. The minimalist approach to blues/country rock worked really well on this album.

I enjoyed this album a lot! Familiar with the band but not familiar with any of these songs. Incredible bass work on the entire album. Definitely worth listening to again!

Never knew this existed. Interesting take on the rock sound of the time. Excellent guitar work.
