Funky, bluesy, groovy rock (Clapton-esque) with a spiritual bent. Nice range of styles. Feels more mature in style and substance than the Beach Boys (Wilson's other band).
I have distinct memories of listening to this album riding to/from soccer practice. Classic 90s alt-rock: punk-jammy tunes that pump you up, irreverent lyrics covering a range of issues,
Very enjoyable. Orchestral jazz. Often steady bass, drums, strings, and brass rhythms underlay with lively trumpet and piano overlay with periods of all-in exuberance. There is a lot to pay attention to. Short album (40 minutes), but you pick up more when you listen to it again (and again!).
Alt-R&B. Strong base tracks with synth and vocals that gets your head grooving. Good collaborations with Lamar, Khalifa, McDonald (Dooby Bros, Steely Dan), Loggins, and Pharrell. First few tracks have lots of (too much?) energy and mellows out; album gets better the deeper you get into it.
Many of the Nirvana classics. Good mixing for a live album. Reminded me of how much I miss live shows!
Rock opera. Great lyrics. Interesting to read how this album influenced future, more popular rock operas.
Love this album. On display is a mastery of a wide range of styles.

Quick listen (3 songs, 37 minutes). Takes a moment to get rolling; eventually cuts a nice tack between traditional and modern pop/alt-rock.
Heavy metal. Great lyrics that speak to issues that you don't typically find in most music (genocide, religion, etc.). Glad this made the list to learn more about SoaD.
Alt/independent rock. Piano, guitar, drums, solo and harmonized vocals, occasional brass. Clever lyrics and rhyming schemes.
Poppy/alt-rock. Guitar, bass, keyboard, vocals.
R&B/Soul/Blues. Smooth, easy, toe-tapping listening. This is what you think of when you think of soul/blues. Couldn't find the album on Spotify; sourced the songs and built a custom playlist.
