Goes hard. Very hard. I like it's oddness. The vocals set it apart. A pleasant surprise.

Horse shit.
They toured with U2 and thought 'we could make lots of money.' This is not music made with creativity or connection in mind. It is concerned with making money. The worst thing about it, is that it worked. People bought this shit in their millions. Cheers, people.

Tina Turner had personality. Personality goes a long way. These are great versions of often great songs. It's slightly cheesy, in an 80s way, but this was a fun listen.

Bleeps and bloops. My preference is for Trans Europe Express, but this is perfectly fine.

Gains a point for the 11 minute Papa Was a Rolling Stone, loses a point for First Time Ever I Saw Your Face. I have not heard a version of that song that I like.

Seemed decent. Kinda busy, so didn't hear it all. Actually sounded like what I hoped a Michael Jackson album would sound like.

Good stuff. Not their best (3 EPs is a top ten/twenty album for me), but it's got lots of great vibes and strong songs. Trouble is lovely.

Perfectly fine. Nothing stands out, but it's well produced. Didn't get much time to give it a proper listen.

Classy. I won't return to it, but it's decent.

It's good. It's not really my thing though. I can tell it's probably brilliant, but my heart doesn't want to know.

Not sure about this. It's the kind of thing I should like - it's all well played and kind of groovy, but I don't think it's dated very well. Also, I can't remember any of it.

A nice enough sound. Quite corny.
I prefer my hip-hop RAW.

Nope. I do not like the music of Beck. Dull.

Still fresh today. Kinda sunny, kinda dark.

Yep. 5 stars.

Aged like a fine wine. Lovely drum programming and soothing vocals. It's not 5 stars as some of the lyrics are a bit direct for my taste. 4.5 if I could. Bloody lovely in headphones.

I like the fuzz. I don't like the feedback.

Not my thing. Never will be my thing.

Fine. Sixteen Saltines goes hard, but some of the rest is reasonably average. Not much sticks. Not terrible, not great. A shame, cos I loved The White Stripes.

So raw.
Like cocaine straight from Bolivia.
Maybe the best hip-hop album ever, although Illmatic and Aquemini would like a word.
A true classic.
