Nice variety but a bit bland. Reminded me of a 90s version of Vampire Weekend, but just wished they had more energy.

I was surprised to find a Queen album where I wasn’t familiar with a single song. It was obvious they were still finding their signature sound, but that is part of the brilliance of this album. Hell, Freddy doesn’t even sing the lead on several of the songs. I think the fact that I wasn’t familiar with it made it that much better.

Great soundscape - lots of musical variety and different moods from Morrissey. Probably my favorite album by them.

Female lead pink but with a ton of attention paid to the music. Not just loud guitars, an actual punk soundscape. Top notch.

Same as Simon and Garfunkel: brilliant songwriting but not a destination album.

I’m disappointed reading other reviews of this album. I’m a huge Radiohead fan but I understand why people wouldn’t like them. However, I feel like anyone should be able to recognize the genius of this album. It was such an important, impactful and brave album for it’s time.

I’ve never heard a Depeche Mode song I didn’t like and this album is no different.

Brilliant song writing. Not a destination album for me, but not something I’m ever gonna be mad about being played I compare it to Beck’s “Sea Change” but cleaner and not as heavy.

My favorite Beatles album. ‘Nuff said.

80’s crotch rock. Never was a Van Halen fan but it’s worth listening to for the guitar work.

An energetic, fun performance with good recording quality.

Similar to Simon and Garfunkel but with lots of Christian undertones and clearly influenced by church hymns. Good music but not something I would seek out on my own.

Good, fun, energetic mix of electronic music and rock.

Same as Cat Stevens and Simon and Garfunkel: beautiful production, perfectly composed songs but not something I’m going to seek out on my own. Cool that the generator assigned it the day after his death, though.

While I put this in the same category as I do Cat Stevens and Simon and Garfunkel - safe, easy listening rock - I can’t describe Van Morrison as boring. He uses a variety of instruments and backing vocals that keeps this album interesting

FANTASTIC! Wasn’t familiar with the artist or album but was blown away. Fun, energetic, polished, incredibly well written and produced with an impressive amount of variety and pace and instruments. It’s like Outkast and Mary J. Blige got together and did a Disney soundtrack!

A fun and energetic recording but I’d still prefer a studio album. Exactly what I’d expect from James Brown live.

Brazilian Beatles. A wild ride!

Fun, energetic female lead 90s alt rock with punk roots. I enjoyed it!

I have known this album backwards and forwards for more than 30 years. It’s a masterpiece but it’s not even one of Pink Floyd’s top three albums.
