Rated 4/10

With exception of 19-2000 (and to my surprise, I must confess!), I found this album quite boring :-(

Giving it a 2, because boring is not the same as bad, IMHO, and there were a few good ideas here, we can tell

Fantastic album, an album you can easily listen to it on loop! One of the easiest 5/5 on this project ;-)

It was something back in the day... Nowadays, I kind felt that it didn't aged well, you know? I mean, songs like "Buffalo Stance" and "Manchild" are great, but the rest I felt like meh :-(

Giving it a 3 because it brought happy memories, nevertheless ;-)

Rated 8/10

This was so strange... but I had so much fun with it!
A total discovery for me! I mean, this project is becoming a big part of my working days, because I'm listening to so many albums I didn't know anything about! And then I get to revisit the ones I've always liked ;-)

Just discover that "Hot Dog" has verses stolen from NiN "Closer" and also "Take a look around" has underlying "Mission Impossible" theme; I'm really surprised how these guys didn't suffer consequences as, for example, De La Soul, one of my rap favorites band, whicj were one of the most sued bands for sampling :-(

Unbelivable! And they went to become nu-metal heros?! Wtf... I can listen to My Way, Rollin and such but on a second listening they're not so great anthems, after all. A 2, just for their effort and fame :-/

Not for me, sorry... I wouldn't think of this as one album to listen before die, as a matter of fact :-/

Also, can't remember a thing from McLaren worth listening :-(

After listening more and more I became a fan of this guy, great songs, great music, absolutely wonderful. Updated my rating from 4 to 5 ;-)

Sorry, not for me, I skipped it after a while! I guess it's a cultural thing, I don't know; for English native speakers I understand the storytelling can be fabulous but for me, meh... let's just say, doesn't make my type ;-)

I didn't know anything about this artist or this album. I liked it a lot, a solid 4 from me - my evaluations being as subjective as possible; if an album and/or an artist makes me feel good, then I'm good ;-)

Lovely, a wonderful surprise (I didn't knew this), I greatly enjoyed it, it helped me a lot through the working day ;-)

When life was good and we were young, there were groups like this who made albums like this and made us happy to be able to listen to them and share them...

Then, I don't know how or why, things changed and the only thing we're left with is nostalgia. And many thanks to this project and its authors for reminding us and allowing us to relive it ;-)

For someone who practically only knew DMR from “Come on Eileen”, listening to this album was a beautiful and very pleasant surprise. A solid 4 (and maybe I'm being a bit greedy here)

Rated 6/10

It was really refreshing. And, in some ways, pioneering, because it sounded like a lot of what you hear nowadays... Anyway, good songs to spend some time with
A solid 3 <3
