There's not much else out there that sounds like Portishead. I come back to this album all of the time and never seem to get tired of it. Plus, how is it possible that Portishead was never used for a Bond movie??

Not for everyone, I suppose, but I love the organized chaos that John Zorn brings, especially when paired with Ornette Coleman.

Excellent album. Great to hear a different side of the band and a very upfront and real portrayal of unique covers.

I listened to Nick Cave once and thought he wasn't for me, but I really liked this album. I'm going to go back and listen to more. Some great moments, and his raw emotion really works for me here.

With the exception of "crazy love", this is a pretty perfect, timeless album to me. It's the kind of album that you can put on when you're on a long road trip.

The titular track is obviously solid. That song kills. Couldn't get into the rest of it, though. Too much slow soul for me and the revised "keep getting it on" track reminded me of seeing an artist live when they play their greatest hit twice in a set.

I have a hard time stepping back and not being judgy about this album and about Green Day. After years of feeling like they play poser punk and feeling like they were making political songs as part of a growing fad, rather than out of genuine concern for the current political climate. There's undeniably some great songwriting and the production quality is great.

When it's going, I'm into it, but there are too many lapses of rhythm for me. Maybe if I wasn't trying to listen while working.

I prefer a folksier Bob Dylan, personally, but this is still good listening.

Cover to cover, this album works for me. I've listened to it so many times since I was a wee lad. I love that it rocks hard and still also has slow, melancholy parts.

I understand and respect why some people think this album is great. Perhaps colored by hearing my brother (and MTV) playing this endlessly when I was a kid, I just cannot get into it. Rockin' jams, great guitar playing, but it just always feels like unimportant and uninspired music to me. I supposed I could find things in my library that I love that might also seem unimportant, but that's where I land on this one. It's not a dish I'd partake in very often.

I dug this album. More listenable to me that some of the more ambling jazz that Miles has done.

Definitely not my favorite Dylan. If you put it on in my car on a road trip, I'd allow it, but I'd silently wonder why you picked this album.

It's not the most remarkable album until you consider that it's early electronic music from the 70s when it was hard to do a bunch of that stuff. Latter tracks in the album were better. Interesting how many modern electronic musicians still come back to those great early synth sounds.

Liked this more than I thought I would. Would listen to again.

This album still holds up, but it might be the amount of memories I have with this playing in the car on road trips.

I'm not sure if I like this album because it's just different from so much of my music. Or if it's really that good. I think it's good.

This was fine. Nothing I'd write home about. Would leave it on if it was on the radio.

I wouldn't have said that I knew Harry Nilsson, but yet, I knew a bunch of these songs. As a Wilco fan, it's cool to hear what is undoubtedly an influence on the songwriting and recording techniques.

Not for everyone, I suppose, but I love the organized chaos that John Zorn brings, especially when paired with Ornette Coleman.

See Van Halen's 1984. Some great rock songs, but they feel shallow. Fine for on the radio, but I'd never sit down just to listen to this album and "appreciate" it.

If I had a time machine, I'd go back to be at shows like this. How fun that must've been. Ahh time machines.

His voice is so whiny. A few classic songs that I like probably because I've heard them so much. If I heard this without knowing how popular it is, I probably would pick out the 2 good songs and move on.

This album was better than I thought it would be. I'd put "Come on Eileen" on a 1001 best singles to listen to, but maybe not on the album list. But, hey, I didn't make the list.

Excellent album. Great to hear a different side of the band and a very upfront and real portrayal of unique covers.

I like a lot of what Tom Waits does. But not all of it. I'd agree that it's worth a listen just because he has such a unique sound.

Pretty solid album. Some truly timeless songs in there.

Despite the cringey moments with kung-fu skit interstitials, this album crushes. Solid rhymes, unafraid to be patient and laid back in the delivery. This is a regular rotation album.

Not bad, but nothing I'd write home about. I suspect I listened on a day when I'd be less receptive to someone like good ol' Lloyd.

Definitely an album worth listening to. A unique sound and a joy to listen to. Yes, I just wrote that.

I listened to Nick Cave once and thought he wasn't for me, but I really liked this album. I'm going to go back and listen to more. Some great moments, and his raw emotion really works for me here.

I'm not into the slower jams, but when it's going (which is most of the album) this is solid. Definitely worth a listen.

Good stuff. Fun to listen to it and think about how influential this was in modern electronic music in a lot of ways. Vocoder FTW.

I wouldn't call this an album you have to listen to before you die. Maybe it represents a genre that you should listen to, so that you know it exists. Like in the way you might try to share all of Earths music to an alien. I don't hate Antrax style metal at all, it's just not my thing. With the notable exception of Bring the Noise with Public Enemy. Aaaaaaaah shit!

When this first came out, I thought it sounded unpolished and too raw. I thought it was garbage. Little did I know how good garbage can be. I grew to love the album over time and the rawness. QuietLoud, baby!

Despite the frequent use of 4 bar repeating high pitched sounds, I love this album. There's some great jams and nothing beats Chuck D.

I mean, yeah, it's Hendrix.

I liked it. It's like you took some of the grit from Rolling Stones and made an album just from that. Good times.

Good chill vibes.

Yep.

Good stuff. I like later Dinosaur Jr more, but this is good if for nothing other than the Cure cover.

Loved it. Great album. Would listen to again.

Solid album, in regular rotation for me already.

Eh, it's fine. I was distracted while listening.

Every song sounds like it would be used for comedic value in a John Hughes movie as something horrible or uncomfortable is happening. I didn't hate it, and I'd be cool with a single song being on a playlist as a total palate cleanser. But, I'd never listen to this on my own.

It's not the worth thing in the world, but I wouldn't listen again and wouldn't suggest to anyone.

I don't know if it rules because of Bob Marley or because I listen to reggae so rarely that it's a lovely change of pace. Either way, great listen.

I found the album listenable, but unremarkable.

Never heard of them before. Not bad. Won't be my #1 go to, but I enjoyed half of it.

What I like in this album I like a lot. Some of the discordant, vocal wailing wears a bit, but the pros outweigh the cons.

Some solid jams in there. I never listened to Supertramp intentionally before, but found that I already knew a handful of those songs.
