Third song should have been titled “Doctor Please … make this song stop”. I know it was early metal, but man these guys were clearly not good song writers. Summertime Blues cover is a classic though.

Meh. Strings cool at first, then just cheesy.

Forgot how good an album this is. Some of Neil’s best work.

Some really fantastic songs on this album

Beautiful guitar

Side one is classic. Never spent too much time on side two.

Janet dropping those sick beats. Then other not so super stuff. It’s all about the dancing.

This is the Day and Uncertain Smile still sound fresh after almost 40 years. Classic early 80s post punk.

Enjoyed the metal. Not the best metal out there, but some pretty good stuff.

Always have enjoyed this hidden gem of an album. Someday Suck by Lenny iz Cool will get the love it deserves. https://open.spotify.com/artist/3Pa6lWWTSLStDQQLH8EMmD?si=cR5vgagQSSKLh0_wJAxbbw

Not my favorite. Liked the song with eminem.

I do like Kraftwerk, but this is not my favorite. Still pleasant to listen to.

Felt like I was sitting through a film marathon of Apocalypse Now - Forest Gump - Platoon. Pretty awesome.

Some of it sounds a lot like a newer Mott the Hoople. Not bad.

Didn’t finish listening, but much more interesting than the JayZ album.

Concept albums: sometimes they work, sometimes they don’t. This is a don’t. At least there is one gem in there, 80’s classic, Our House. The rest very forgettable.

Thought I’d hate it, but there are some pretty good pop tunes, along with a lot of not so great stuff.

Outstanding. One of my favorite Stones albums. Beyond Sympathy and street fighting man, Stray Cat Blues, Jigsaw Puzzle, salt of the earth. Just Mick, Keith, Charlie And Bill for the most part. Stones at the peak.

Pleasant, but not very interesting to listen to. Like a poor man’s Jim Croce or James Taylor. It’s a no from me Dawg. Lot of stuff like this from this era that is sooo much better.

As with most heavy metal, a little goes a long way for me. They are pretty darn good though.

This is a top 1001 album of all time? Wow. Toys in the Attic, maybe, but this, nope. Without Run DMC and MTV, we may never have had to listen to this. Janie's Got a Gun gets it to two stars, even though it was played relentlessly on MTV and elsewhere, it's not bad.

Apache gets it 3 stars. Fun to listen to, although the covers get a little tired by the end.

Awesome energy, gets a bit weak at the end. Will definitely listen to some of their other stuff.

Third song should have been titled “Doctor Please … make this song stop”. I know it was early metal, but man these guys were clearly not good song writers. Summertime Blues cover is a classic though.

My Generation and The Kids are Alright are outstanding. Like early Stones albums, they are figuring it out with lots of Rb and blues covers, some of which are a little rough.

The New York Dolls. F*ing Rock and Roll baby.

Chill and cool.

Glad we got to listen to this. I had written it off previously, thinking Fake Plastic Trees was the only song worth listening to on the album. This is tremendous. One can hear Radiohead moving toward what they would become on later works.

Was between 4 and 5 for this. Some of Neil's most memorable songs on here, and some more forgettable. Classic album nonetheless.

Two of their best songs on here. Otherwise, not my favorite Talking Heads album.

Thought I would hate this, but ended up enjoying it. Oddly, sounded a bit like Gang of Four in spots.

Comes out of the gate with a lot of great stuff. Just went a bit too long and less than stellar toward the finish.

Songs missing from Spotify, so only a partial listen. Too explicit for this old man. Biggie could rap though.

Makes me rethink my Biggie review, which I would now like to increase, but alas that is not allowed. Since I cannot increase Biggie, I must decrease this.

Always have enjoyed this album.

The only band that mattered, for a while.

Tito Puente. Wow! If this doesn’t get it going for you, you are dead . Mercy

One of my favorite Christmas albums.

Despite a few songs not aging so well, too many classics not to give 5 stars.

Never been a fan. This is a really good album. Who knew? MattyB

Holy crap. Was the name Hawkshit already claimed?

I am a ZZ Top fan, but have never really liked this album.

80’s flashback. Nice

Melancholy Monday with JT

One of the things I am noticing about this list is that it seems to pick the most commercially successful album of a group, which, in my opinion, is often not a band's best work. Eliminator by ZZ Top is a good example and so is this. No one listened to this, at least no one who would admit it. It was the first two albums with, Yours is no Disgrace, I've Seen All Good People, Roundabout, etc. The first 2 Yes albums are enough. Tres Hombres is enough for ZZ Top.
