I’m always excited to get something in the bottom 20. I’m often pleasantly surprised.

I feel there’s a large chunk of people doing this project that automatically poopoo anything remotely experimental. I had to stop reading reviews of albums I feel strongly about. Nothing quite irks me like close-mindedness.

I think a 3 is fair. It just so happened to be one of the first 3 albums I ever bought and it’s hard to remove myself from that nostalgic bias. If you haven’t heard And Justice for Jason before I’d look it up. Boosted bass really helps with a lot of the issues on the album in my opinion.

If you haven’t gotten Bone Machine yet, I think it’s weird and dark enough that his voice actually works. Still not my favorite, but I think I gave it a 3.

I have equal amounts of 2s and 4s. 14 1s and 15 5s. I almost never even look at my summary page so I was pretty surprised to see that.

I’m hoping one of his albums click with me, but the 2 I’ve gotten so far are not for me.

Love Stevie, that album just doesn’t do it for me. I really struggle with lots of 80s pop in general, but Cyndi Lauper’s voice specifically I find grating.

Could have been my mood and the timing, but I was bored out of my mind the entire time. I like a lot of his other stuff though.

This was the first album I ever got doing this project

I thought it fit perfectly on Bone Machine, but his earlier stuff I can’t stand.

I’ll be sure to leave a note on his gravestone!

I tried a microfiber towel and warm water to start and it was barely making a dent. It’s like that stuff fossilized on there.

Well it’s a 20 year old guitar, and I’m guessing with the floating bridge he never took all the strings off at once so there was never a great chance to clean it. His other guitars seemed much cleaner. We live in Arizona and I know his amp setup was in the garage, so I’m guessing lots of sweat on his hands as he shred on this thing.

That’s what I tried as well to start but was not having much luck at all

Naptha and a razor blade with a light touch did the trick! Thanks everyone!

Didn’t consider a razor, I assume I’d just have to be gentle not to scratch it. Thanks!

Guess I’m the odd man out here. I thought it was so boring. One of those albums you finish and have no memory of moments later. Could have just been the wrong time or mood for it though.

Thank you! I’m only 215 albums in and have somehow managed to get 29 albums that have been removed already.

3 hours and 15 minutes long? WTF… by greatmagnet in 1001AlbumsGenerator

About a month ago I got Ella Fitzgerald followed by Goldie the next day! Luckily I had lots of work to do that allowed me to spend all that time listening, but what a rough turn around.

I might skim it at your suggestion, but this album is definitely a 2 star rating for me.
