I would go as far as a title it the music that defined the 80s and was ahead of its time at the same time, and that's even without taking "Sweet Dreams" song

I'm not fond of Indian culture, but Ravi Shankar sounds like an exception. First of all, the sole purpose of the album was not only to show but also to explain to the western audience — what is the sounds of India. And personally, I still can't describe the feeling, but there is really something magical that gives a feeling of control over the chaos. Similar to jazz music it requires more time to understand it. I won't lie, I've tried to listen to it the second time and am not able to distinguish one raga from another. But in the end, this album was able to shift my interest towards Indian culture and I'll definitely dig up more similar music

pleasant experience, very smooth, perfect for a long romantic evening

God is a witness, I've tried to listen to this album twice, and there are some good tracks, like Instrumental Pt-1, Instrumental Pt-2, and Instrumental 2. But I think in comparison to his band The Jam - Setting Sons 1979 it's straight-up boring stuff to fall asleep to. Not my cup of tea

Absolute 5, every track is a hit on its own, it's hard to imagine that there will be something as good as Nevermind

Johny Cash voice is great. But that's jail music, about people in jail, he is trying to push some morals in songs, but crowd just cheering at all the wrong themes, like YEAH I KILLED MY WIFE TOO, OH DARN WHISKEY. Overall a great move from whoever decided to make a record with jail songs in jail

not as good as first album, but getting drunker and more chaotic from song to song is really great

beats to totter/stagger to when you are mildly drunk and going home on summer tuesday afternoon, where nobody waits for you

Despite being a great composer (that can be heard even on this early album) his texts are something else. If that could be instrumental, would be lot better
