I'm in the minority here for sure but... what's the appeal here? Tonally it's quite monotonous. Sonically, nothing new. Lyrically, hard to tell. The vocals are mixed so far back and the slight distortion on them makes the words just blend into the rest of the instrumentation. Pretty meh. I recognize a few of the tracks, but that doesn't mean they're good, just that they're played on the radio.

I get that this was a genre defining album for the time, but the genre is really bad, so I can't condone these actions.

1,001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die eh? Well death didn't come quick enough to save me from this. No stars.
