I have mixed feelings about this album. Every time I have listened to it before was after reading a review that made me think I was gonna see god after listening to this. So this time I went in thinking I was going to hate it like I had every other time. It was actually pretty good, instrumentation was layered and interesting though the vocals still feel trapped in 1950s shtick. Overall I think this album is more historically significant as one of the first concept albums than some sort of sonic masterpiece.

Good Album, a little long at some parts, but very interesting production

This album is a demonstration in tone. its good, its music

I really love REM, however I did not love this album, felt like it was a delivery system for the two main singles on the album

I'm a sucker for eighties soul production. This album was fantastic on that alone. Add in bakers vocals it was a homerun

i listen to half of this, I enjoyed it but it lost my attention mid way through, i dont think that was the albums fault though
