I can't condone large sections of the lyrical content, but this is weird and creative. Much stranger than I expected. I think it might be quite addictive.

Floaty. Synthy. Ambient. Pleasant.

Absolutely fine. A bit too much guitar noodling, for my taste. A good band playing rock songs with a Latin feel.

Very entertaining. Often hilarious. Front loaded with massive hits. The hits are poppier than I remembered. Some of the cultural references have dated and the violence is off the scale but this is a very well written and produced album. Eminem's personality carries it.

Hm. Not as good as I remembered. A couple of good, psychedelic slow songs in the middle. The rest feels dated and mediocre. 15 songs is too long as well. Shame.

Pretty good. Not really my thing but I can't deny the quality of playing and songwriting. Excellent cover of For No One by The Beatles.

Only works at one time of year. Some magnificent performances on here, particularly the singing and drumming. Baby Please Come Home has an unexpected emotional power in the voice. Slightly overrated?

Never heard this before. Instant classic. Punk rock Rolling Stones.

Entertaining. Silly.

Very 80s. I struggle with that. The dated production.
Lots of great songs to sweeten the deal. It's not as good as Thriller (not a lot is). But then Jackson's charisma is off the scale throughout. It's giving me mixed emotions.

Love this. Sophisticated music. Flows beautifully as an album. Title track is classic. Macbeth rocks harder than I imagined.

Probably a top ten album of all time. Probably Dylan's best album. So much good stuff. Idiot Wind is savage, regretful and sad. You're a Big Girl Now, Simple Twist of Fate, Shelter From the Storm. These are towering achievements of song. So much truth here.

So, so bleak.
Incredible sounds - every instrument sounds ice cold.
Absolutely love all of it, especially the 2nd side.
Great cover art.

Very good 60s, psychedelic music. Some massive songs on here.

Absolutely fine. Just doesn't interest me.

Never really listened to this all the way through.
I can see why it sold a gazillion copies. I like it. Downcast, melodic, simple songs.

My first Beatles album on here, my first Beatles album as a teenager. Fundamental to my enjoyment of music. The sound of the best band ever at the peak (debatable) of their powers. Too many highlights to mention, but Eleanor Rigby goes above and beyond what a pop song is supposed to be.
Great cover art as well.

Definitely a vibe going on here. Didn't enjoy this quite as much as other Leonard Cohen albums. Not sure why. Maybe the songs aren't quite as strong.
Having said that, The Partisan is great and the whole thing sounds soothing as fuck late at night.

At first I wasn't enjoying this. A bit twee, dated. Not my thing. But the version of Will You Love Me Tomorrow saves it from total disgrace. Great version of a great song.

Fantastic.
The balls to hold one chord on an organ for 10 minutes and just talk over it. And it's still brilliant.
This version Walk On By is THE version.
They don't make em like this anymore.
