Second best Bowie album I've heard on this list. Pretty good overall, the title song was the worst for me though. 3.5/5

This wasn’t bad. Not really sure what else to say, it didn’t really leave a strong impression. 3/5

Definitely not on part with his work in Simon & Garfunkel. This was not for me in the slightest. Almost shut it off by the ridiculousness of Cars are Cars. Yes Paul, cars ARE cars, now please stop singing! 1/5

I actually liked this. Kind of an indie punk rock feel to it which worked pretty well for me. 4/5

The was a lot to like here--and I'm not really a jazz guy. My biggest gripe about this was that something sounded like a broken or loose linkage in my car when this was playing. Whenever I paused the music, it would stop so it was definitely something in the recording. I took me forever to realize this and it drove me nuts on my way to work. Besides that, great jazz album. 4/5

There's some good songs on here, but also several that I just wanted to skip. 3/5

It's like they pulled the fun out of the Beach Boys. There were definitely some creative parts, but that didn't make them good. I don't see myself returning to this. 2/5

I liked most of this. Kind of chill indie vibes. Not sure I'll return to it, but we'll see. 3/5

I quite enjoyed this one. 4/5

Pretty chill and reasonably entertaining. 3/5

Disco isn't really my thing, but this was ok I guess. I never really care when artists use their name in songs, it just sounds tacky to me and they did this from the start. Pretty meh overall. 2/5

Started out a bit rough. Not really I to new wave, but this got better. Not something I'll likely return to, but good enough for a 3/5

Groovy, heavy, and I liked the aboriginal elements. A little slow at times, but overall pretty good. Never really listened to sepultura, but I might have to check out more. 4/5

She's a good singer, but the style is not one I cared for. At a few points, I wasn't sure I'd be able to get through the album. 2/5

Actually a pretty good collection of Christmas songs. Perfect for Christmas yesterday. 4/5

Definitely the best of the big 4 in my opinion. One of the best Metallica albums for me, though it's not as thrashy as I remember. Still a banger all the way through. Mixing could've been better--it sounds hollow at times and the vocals can get lost in the mix depending on the sound setup. 4.5/5

Smooth r&b, but kinda boring to me. Not terrible overall. 2/5

Better and more interesting than most rap, but still not great. I just kept waiting for it to be over. 2/5

I really wanted to like this album more than I did. There's some great songs on here--maybe some of The Smashing Pumpkins best--but two hours of his voice gets to be a bit rough. I'd rather cherry pick the songs on here than listen to the whole thing. 3.5/5

I waited for 40-some minutes waiting for some variation in the music and his singing and all I found was someone playing with a wind-up toy at one point. The guy's expression on the cover sums up how I felt listening to this album. 1/5
