While there are better Stevie albums, even better Stevie albums of the 70s, this is still a banger with only some filler songs. Boogie on Reggae Woman!

This album will never not make me smile. It was given to me yesterday. It was a really rough day, and this album made it better. Remember when it was released? I was 13 years old. We loved it then, and I still love it now.

DNF. I tried. I got to maybe track 4. Springsteen Lite. And I couldn't find anything to latch onto. I heard no authenticity.

While I think there's too much glam on this album, or too little glam in me, I found the album enjoyable and would listen again. I probably do need to listen again. I want to say anything more insightful

In middle school. A friend of mine played me the song "Anarchy in the U.S.A." by I think Megadeth. I went out to buy it and ended up with "Never Mind the Bollocks" instead. I secretly listened to it between classes on my Walkman. It absolutely blew my mind. It felt so subversive and so wrong, although I couldn't put my finger on why. I can't say it made me an enormous punk fan or anything, but boy did I love that album.

Can't decide between a 3 and a 4. On the one hand, quite a few of the songs are bangers. The Lust for Life song is just amazing. Passenger is great, and there are others as well. On the other hand, some songs are filler, and there is the Iggy Pop depravity throughout the album which can make parts hard to listen to.

4.5 stars. This album was so much fun. Never heard of the band or the music before, though I am clearly a fan of this genre. Definitely a re-listenable album

I wanna give it a higher rating, I really do. "Hallelujah" is just so fantastic, and it jump-started a reevaluation of that song and Leonard Cohen overall. But I didn't find any other songs to be even close to as good. The earlier songs almost got there, but the more electric songs at the end really turned me off. I will definitely do a re-listen and will share as a way to come back and revise my rating if I am currently wrong

A fun listen. I was not familiar with them. I had listened to The Strokes and somehow missed The Killers. To me, they sound very similar. Would listen again, certainly.

What can I say? I'm a sucker for Crosby, Stills, and Nash. This album is not nearly as good as theirs or Young's "After the Gold Rush," or even Crosby's "I Can't Remember My Name," but it still gives me that vibe.

Some interesting tracks, but overall due most likely to my not understanding the music or the context, found it Ppretty much the same throughout the album.

So much fun. Have not listened to it again, and have not listened to it in a while. A common trope among these older albums for me. Great to relisten to. All aboard the night train! Anyone who wants to learn more should watch his TAMI performance.

This is my Neil Young, the godfather of grunge. Freedom was the album that turned me on to him, after listening and liking but not loving Decade. And this was the album that made me a giant fan.

Never heard of them before. Weird, wild stuff. Murder stories told with this close-pitched harmony. Good instrumentation. Fun all around.

Some songs were quite good. I liked "Road Trippin'" at the end and a few other slower ballads. But other songs were quite bad. More bad than good, so two stars.

Never heard before— weird album. I loved it.

Brought me back to my college days once again. I always thought of this as more of a collection of tracks in an actual album since she had passed before the album was released. But still a stone-cold classic. Every track. Wonderful.

Smooth and listenable. I enjoyed it while it played. I can't remember much about any particular song. The groove is fine. Doubt I would revisit.

Another album I have not listened to in a long time. Boy, have I missed out. Nothing sounds smoother, sweeter, or more real.

Okay, so I was quite drunk when I heard this album. It sounded like nothing I expected. And it was cheesy as hell. But it still kind of moved me. Pretty sure I'll listen to this again. That's my criteria for four stars.
