Track C was absolutely incredible. The acoustic guitar playing seemed to come out of nowhere. The flute playing in the Group Dancers sections is beautiful too. The drums and build up in the last track are absolutely insane.
Fav tracks: Track C, Mode D, Mode F
Great guitar solos, but the album still feels like Walmart Led Zeppelin
Fav tracks: Marquee Moon, Elevation
The first half of the album was great, but around Waiting for the Night things started to slow down too much for me
Fav tracks: World In My Eyes, Sweetest Perfection
Incredible guitar solos
Fav tracks: Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Pts. 1-5, Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Pts. 6-9
It's pretty jarring hearing this early version of Snoop Dogg. He's so different from how I view him these days as almost a family-friendly figure.
Fuck wit Dre Day having that Bow Wow Wow line was a nice surprise, and the disses were hilarious.
Nuthin' But a "G" Thang has a sick beat beat.
Deeez Nuuuts is funny. I didn't realize how long that joke had been going on.
The rest of the album wasn't that interesting. The skits on tracks 10 and 13 were kind of ... read more
Beach Life-In-Death could've been split into 3 tracks, I'm not sure it was combined into one. The ending section of that song was nice but the vocals in the first half were nonsensical. Nervous Young Inhumans has some sick drums and grooves but the spoken word portion is god awful.
Some good ideas followed, but High to Death was capped off with 2 minutes of disorienting sounds and vocals. Famous Prophets (Stars) was another song that went on for too long. More spoken word stuff that ... read more

Fav tracks: I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor, Dancing Shoes, Mardy Bum
The first track is really fun but every song from that point on was either reality abrasive or off putting
Fav tracks: Get Got
A jazz fever dream. I enjoyed the album, but it's hard to discern any of the songs from each other and they're super long. I guess that's the point though
The classroom skits after the songs make it feel like I'm back in school. The bass lines on Every Ghetto, Every City are unreal.
Fav tracks: Ex-Factor, To Zion, Doo Wop (That Thing), Forgive Them Father, Every Ghetto, Every City
Venus In Furs wouldn't end.
Run Run Run would've been much better if it were a shorter song.
All Tomorrow's Parties feels like visiting the Taj Mahal and meditating for a few hours. Good thing that's followed up with the 7 minute song Heroin where the guitar has a minutes-long seizure.
There She Goes Again isn't a special song but it felt so refreshing after that aural assault on the previous track.
I'll Be Your Mirror made me realize I enjoy Nico's vocals ... read more
Maybe I'm just not into folk music, but most songs are just a handful of chords and Bob Dylan singing. And some of the songs he talks and doesn't even sing.
Fav tracks: Blowin' In the Wind
I didn't expect to learn about a new American civil war
Fav tracks: 4th Chamber, Shadowboxin', B.I.B.L.E. (Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth)
Perfect ambient working music. It's crazy to think that this album came out in 1992. Just one or two skips for me
Fav tracks: Xtal, Green Calx
The hyperpop vocals are so much fun.
Fav tracks: 1999, Silver Cross, February 2017
I wish Respect were longer. Beautiful voice, beautiful piano, beautiful blues.
Fav tracks: Respect, I Never Loved a Man (The Way I Love You), A Change Is Gonna Come
The song River is such a blatant rip off of Jingle Bells /s
"I'm a lonely painter, I live in a box of paints" 🤨
Fav tracks: Blue, California
This album feels like finding an oasis after wandering through the Sahara desert
Fav tracks: everything
Almost a perfect album. The only thing holding me back from giving it a 10 is Backseat Freestyle. It's a fun song, but feels out of place and the beat isn't great.
Fav tracks: Bitch, Don’t Kill My Vibe, The Art of Peer Pressure, Money Trees, Swimming Pools (Drank), Sing About Me, I'm Dying of Thirst
