Rolling Stone's 18th greatest album of all time

Decent Springsteen album, vying with Born in the USA to be his best. This listen was poisoned a little for me as some of my neighbours have had occasional parties during lockdown where the title track has been played at full volume with accompanying drunken "singing" at 2am (though this was annoying, it was followed by the sound of utter confusion when they next played the album version of Bat Out of Hell, with the piano solo and several minutes of extra avant garde music and an extra verse they weren't expecting). A decent listen.

Rolling Stone's 453rd greatest album of all time (2020)

While this album definitely has some of NIN's best songs (Head Like a Hole, Terrible Lie), the rest of the album is a little sub-par, certainly compared to The Downward Spiral and The Fragile which are much more consistent. I was slightly amused that a lot of the electronic or sampled drum beats on some songs sounded identical to those used in early hip-hop, despite the two genres being poles apart at the time. A good listen but it is all downhill after an amazing start.

Rolling Stone's 378th greatest album of all time

Such a strong album, the only issues with it are the songs that were left off rather than those that were included. Talk Tonight and Acquiesce will go down in history as some of the best B-sides ever and are as good as, if not better than, anything on the album. So many great songs on here that you can't help but sing along to.
In fact, I was belting out Wonderwall and my wife said she had a work call, could I stop singing. I said maybe ...
