An unbelievably overrated artist and album. A couple of decent songs and headlines that wanted everyone to believe this is the second coming of Aretha Franklin (you know, a white brittish woman). I just dont get the hype.

But thats just like, my opinion, man.

Not particularly my cup of tea, but classic Santana is classic for a reason. Worlds above the later collaborations that make me want to stab myself in the ear when they come on.

I see that its a precursor to thrash. I see why people would like it, I dont. Those lyrics....

JESUS

This has always been a strange album for me. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Beatles.
This album has some absolute highs and some skippers for sure. Overall its OK. I own it on both vinyl and cd though it rarely gets played.

Cool background music. Its good, no need to purchase physical media of this, nor do I feel the need to add the artist or album to my streaming platforms. Dont get me wrong, its good. I wish there were half star options, this is a solid 2.5 stars. All of that being said this is another in the "you dont need to listen to this album before you die" pile.

I get it, shes got a great voice. I dont actively dislike it but I dont fall at the altar of her being the greatest singer of all time.

Good album!

There are some good songs on this. I cannot fathom any scenario that ones musical journey of discovery dictates this NEEDS to be heard before death.

Solid lyricist with actual story line, theme and thought. This is the opposite of the random phrase mumbling that is nothing more than boasting like a brain dead rooster just strutting around. Solid 3 stars.

I will never understand why music critics fellate PJ Harvey albums the way they do.

If some British dude put this out he would be labeled a wanker.

Good thing this list is insisting on shoving PJ Harvey down your ear holes 4 times with 4 albums.

YAY!

Not my favorite album by Bowie. Its good, its not great.

I get it, they are influential.

I think the who blows.

I am not a country fan, I am however a fan of Dwight Yoakam. 'What I don't know' is fantastic.

Its too bad country and western music these days is just 80's butt rock cosplaying as cowboys.

IF you can get past the part that its Marilyn Manson this is fitting music for its time and place. Well produced and a couple of really good songs in there.

If you cant get past the fact that its Marilyn Manson this is sophomoric edge lord try hard crap that was biting the industrial sound that was becoming more popular at the time.

I wish I could give it 2.5 stars as its neither a 2 or a 3.

Its easy to see how this influenced popular music as well as why it was so popular during its day. Great, short (though formulaic) little dance tunes.

FANTASTIC! One of the few albums on this list that you really should listen to before you die.

Its fun hip hop from an era when it was ok to have a message, be funny and experiment with samples. Its a shame hip hop has moved so far away from creative mixing and actual lyrical content.

I'll side with the original assessment of this album when it came out, its uneven, song quality is all over the place...mostly meh.

This is yet another album that revisionists are trying to make a masterpiece, its not.

Nothing of any specific critique other than I think The Who are overrated and I don’t like them.

This is nice, gave me something to add to my collection.

Why its on this list is anyones guess, but it is nice.
