Another great band, known for their great albums too. However, I think this album crosses a little too far into skits territory. It ain't bad at all though, and it's still so relevant IMO.

Perfect album. Led Zeppelin nails that bluesy rock sound. They're just weird enough, but their sound is universal. GOAT album by a GOAT band.

Despite having a couple of catchy songs, LB is just too cringe for me.

Damn, this author sure loves Bruce Springsteen. The album wasn't half bad, by that I mean that half of the album was good.

Yeah, this album isn't bad at all, but it does feel like the advent of pop. Don't get me wrong, I love the Beatles, but I think this album kind of blends into their discography, aside from the two biggest hits.

LCD has such a cool and unique sound.

Punk rock, wasn't bad

The answer to all world religions is Van Halen.

Not bad, it was a nice mix up from what I typically listen to.

It was pretty good, even if there wasn't anything that particularly stood out to me as a hit. It's a long album, especially if you're listening to the 20th anniversary version.

Bob Dylan sure knew how to write a song, they oughta give that feller an award or something for it.

Shelter from the Storm has a special memory for me. Idiot Wind was fun too. Solid album.

Man, such a nostalgic album for me. I think I previously commented on Hybrid theory that it was the first good music that I enjoyed, Coldplay was pretty contemporary with that. But I can thank John, my brother, for getting into Coldplay because of his interest in piano. I was trying to think of what made this so good at the time that it came out, and I don't have a smoking gun answer. Chris Martin did take the singer/songwriter form and made it rock. What's interesting about Coldplay is that they used elements: synth and distortion, that had been explored by other bands in rock genres to push out more extreme sounds but Coldplay felt like the pendulum swinging back inwards to approaching these elements with a softer touch. Basically, what if a singer/songwriter sang about love and used a synth to compliment the piano? Then what if they had a rock band that knew when to go heavy and when to keep it soft? Alright, then apparently you will have a band with generational sound.

It was fine, but nothing special. It had some quiet moments where it was just vocals over low bass maybe and it reminded me of some of the transitions in a song by Melvins.

Wow, this album was fantastic. It was dark and heavy with uplifting moments. It felt pretty real and raw.

I've listened to Graceland tens of times, but never actually listened to this album before. And I love Me and Julio. But now I also enjoy Armistice Day.

Despite only having one big hit on the album, it was overall great. It had a cohesive sound and it is distinct sound.

Super short, but it does have Mrs. Robinson

Quite a long, synthy pop rock song to open the album with, but it wasn't super poppy, just a little poppy. Maxine had some great saxophone in it.

Once again, Thom Yorke knows how to make an album, not just a sequence of songs. It flows together seamlessly, it hits really interesting musical ideas. It's catchy. Just another solid album.

Great album by one of the greatest indie rock bands. So many hits from this album already have a permanent home on one of my best playlists. So... Yeah, it's great and I recommend it.
