Very comforting and cinematic because of the beautiful atmosphere every part of this creates.

Frank Zappa is a genius. The Jazz and Rock are blended in a way that sounds so balanced yet full of life and funkiness. This is what music should be. Phenomenal doesn’t even begin to describe this.

I unironically felt badass listening to this shit in 6th grade, but holy fuck did this sound age like titty milk on an arid desert.

A true renaissance man. No complaints from me.

Very top heavy, falls off a cliff towards the end. If it stopped at redbone it would be great.

The real winners of this beef is us.

I think everyone has heard this album so I don't need to explain anything.

I have this complaint with foundational albums that define future generations of music after it. In my opinion, most "grandfather" albums sound badly mixed, outdated, or just age very bad. I don't feel that way about this album though. It feels VERY ahead of its time, like scarily so. Television may be time travelers. It is obvious that a lot of music we listen to nowadays evolved out of this. Its nothing short of phenomenal, flawless, and important.

I've heard this so many times, yet I still cannot get enough.

I was listening to ts everyday for a good semester on my walk to school. Favorite Rap Mixtape all time. Underrated as hell in my opinion.

They put their whole Massive Attackussy into this.

The textures are profound, but it's a little slow for my tastes.

My mom would blast Tidal on the car CD player, I just wasn't mature enough to appreciate or comprehend this masterpiece at that time.

I love being an American.

AOTY I'm not kidding, exceeded expectations. Has bars on bars on bars, "I'm a king not a prince I'm still sippin purple rain." There are no bad songs, all bangers, no sleeping, no Tzatziki. The tags don't come off corny, its heat. I am not tweaking, this is genuinely peak. You will not be disappointed.

Having Kanye and The Neptunes produce on the same album should be illegal.

It is a musical, lysergic, funky, groovy, full of life mosaic that keeps you engaged for its full 58 minutes.

Now THIS is something.

Extremely nostalgic, but won't let that affect the quality of the album itself.

Like an unexpected hug from a significant other.
