I listened to this album twice. I regret that I wasted 80 minutes of my life on this thing. It isn't bad, don't get me wrong. It has melody, rhythm, funk. It has a diverse mixture of jazz, funk, pop, and soul. The album is pretty much homogenous and consistent, it just doesn't sound that different from the other very popular, very mainstream music from its time. It sounds like most of those easy listening, funky disco songs from the 70s that gained much popularity when it was ... read more

Aggressive, raw, political. Exactly what I needed.

Favorite tracks: B0mbtrack, Killing in the Name, Know Your Enemy

Least favorite: Settle for Nothing

Wha? Ben? I thought you hated hip hop? Is Benny a hypocrite?

It feels Green Day was trying to be like Rage Against the Machine, but failed miserably. A few of the songs on here are good and sound fine when you hear them individually. As a whole album, it is all just okay. Not good, just okay.

Whiny Trumper. If you want to wear the red hat just wear it. If you want country, I recommend:
-Johnny Cash
-Dolly Parton
-Willy Nelson
-Townes Van Zandt
-Songs: Ohia

AI slop. Do not listen. Listen to:
-Radiohead
-The Beatles
-Bjork
-MF DOOM
-Kendrick Lamar
-A Tribe Called Quest
-The Smiths
-Joy Division
-The Rolling Stones
-The Velvet UNDERGROUND
-David Bowie
-Rage Against the Machine
-System of a Down
-Queens of the Stone Age
-Elliot Smith
-The Doors
-Jimi Hendrix
-The Beach Boys
-Swans
-Pink Floyd
-Talking Heads
-Brian Eno
-Any human artist

The album sounds decent, it just doesn't quite top the sound of Ants From Up There. It still has a catch, it's just...okay.

Easily the Beatles' greatest album

Favorite tracks: Come Together, Something, I Want You (She's So Heavy), Here Comes the Sun, Carry That Weight

Least favorite tracks: Maxwell's Silver Hammer, Oh Darling, Octopus's Garden

One of the greatest hip hop records of all time. Definitely the best and most profound political/conscious hip hop record out there. I feel this album becomes more and more relevant as the years go on. 10 years later, the message from this record is very fitting to the current (American) climate right now. The album is also woven with so many textures of hip hop, soul, funk, and jazz. Also love the note that David Bowie used this album for his inspiration in Blackstar. Bowie is one of my ... read more

You could probably see why I would rate this album a 100. Seriously, this album is the first (and best) prog rock. A great, textured, emotional album with a deep political message.

Favorite tracks: All of them!

Wow, this album expresses a feeling of a cold, empty, dystopian capitalist hellscape. Sadly, I wish this was still a fantasy...

Favorite tracks: Paranoid Android, Let Down, Karma Police, Climbing Up the Walls, Lucky

Least favorite track: Fritter Happier

Velvet Underground's first and greatest album

Favorite tracks: I'm Waiting for the Man, Heroin, I'll Be Your Mirror

After hearing the news of Brian Wilson's passing, I just had to revisit this album. I first listened to this album about a year ago, and I enjoyed it on a first listen. I found it fun, whimsical, and catchy. Nothing more, and nothing less. However, after listening to the album again, I can finally see the substance and emotion in this album, beyond just the catchy nature of the music. The album touches on the themes of love and being young (which is prominent in the first track ... read more
