This must be a troll selection. 3.5 hours.

Thank you for adding this album. It definitely deserves a spot on the original list. I swing between being thankful for all the music they have produced and being bummed out over all the music we lost from them, because someone drank the Kool-Aid and has the wrong political views currently.

Absolute torture listening to this. I’m adding them to my list of bands I have no clue why people love. The take a spot behind Coldplay and Radiohead.

I can’t put my finger on it, but it feels disingenuous. It’s feels like talented technique, but lacking the soul or emotion. I wish I could express it better.

Meh, not my style. Sorry.

I was looking forward to a reason to listen to this album. It just didn’t jump out at me

…but he never did come in last.

Very “big” music. Lots going on.

It had such good potential. The sounds are good, it’s the order and lack of rhythm that is the problem.

Meh

That double bass drum!!

Wannabe Dylan with no substance. IMHO the only way to love this album is by forced attrition.

Aged like milk

This was in my initial order from Columbia House.

I love a good ambient album, but this was not impressive. It was literally sounds on a loop. If I had the equipment and just a basic amount of knowledge of how to make music, I could make this album in a day. I can’t believe they have 9 albums. I need to change careers!!!

Song that encapsulates the singing & lyrics is “Toilet piece/unknown” Troll submission

Omg. Loving the Speak Like a Child. I’m adding this to my background music for reading. I have to read a bunch of technical manuals, which is horrible. But having background music chills me out some. Thanks for your submission

This may be something I could grow to like, but no individual song hit me just right on my initial listen. I can see for a true blues fan how this can be an amazing album.

This was great for the nostalgia. As much as Crazy Train is known by even those outside the metal scene, I’m kinda surprised this album is not on the “list”.

Nice blues sound. I bet I could pick out a couple of songs to listen to multiple times. First time hearing of band.

Good instruments. Too much religion.

Enjoyed the instruments. Did you know there are actual lyrics to the screaming.

This must be a troll selection. 3.5 hours.

The literal definition of “meh”.

This is the first 5* after 140 user submitted. Learning about Fibonacci and holy order pushed it from a 4 to a 5.

Sorry, this is just a “wanna be” album. I wanna be this band, I wanna be that band. This is your typical cover band that somehow swindled someone in to recording them. Unless the lead singer was rich beforehand and losing money everytime they put out an album 🤷🏻‍♂️

Enjoyed the upbeat songs, especially Mari-Mac. Although the slower songs are oof.

I love their song Panic Attack. This is more prog metal than that song.

Surprised by this. Listened twice.

Music is too loud to hear his lyrics. Unable to appreciate them.

There is some talent there. Although is very much “white boy complaining/self deprecating “.

I’m a music for the masses & violator guy. In the Early 80’s this was good.

I’m f this is what they are doing in 79, I’m interested in what they are doing now.

Very Counting Crows and similar music of the time.

C Has Mm Ttt a C

I reached out to a friend to let them know it might be something they would like. I did enjoy Rio Ancho. Thanks for something new to listen to.

I can see how this could be someone’s fav. It’s very early 90’s alternative. I’m getting Echo and the Bunnymen & The Church vibes off it. Although nothing really jumped out at me in the first listen.

Pleasantly surprised. This was so much better than my first interaction with the group. Will listen again.
