Overall, it was a fine album. I did not care for the screaming though. I really liked the guitar tones and did enjoy a few songs on this album. Overall, a decent album, just not really my thing. I'd like it a lot more if the songs were sung instead of screamed.
I must admit, I started this album expecting a really bad, cringy, Imagine Dragons like band. Although it had some of that Imagine Dragons sound (you could tell Imagine Dragons were influenced by these guys), this album must have been ten to thirty times better than anything Imagine Dragons have ever put out. I especially liked Keep the Car Running, Intervention, Ocean of Noise, and My Body is a Cage. Overall, a surprisingly good album from a genre I've mostly ignored, and band I hadn't heard until now.
I loved the instrumentation and composition behind the song. The 70s guitar, funk bass, and orchestral arrangements were all very good. I am not a big fan of spoken word singing though and got rather bored with the vocals. Had they been sung; I'd have enjoyed this much more.
I’m really glad this album was recommended! I really liked it. It was almost like Pink Floyd + The Beatles + late 70s Rolling Stones. Some of the songs made it onto my personal playlist, and Id happily listen to the whole album again! I’m sad I didn’t discover this hidden gem on an album earlier!
I am so glad I got through thus album. I can't even call this music, just noise. I hated it. Absolutely hated it.
Good album! I enjoyed this one! The lyrics were a bit, sketchy. But the singer had a good voice, good instrumentation. The lyrics are the only let down. Overall, a really solid album.
I really liked this one! It had a few songs on it I wasn’t a fan of, but it also had songs I loved. Overall, a really enjoyable album!
This wasn’t a great album. It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t really my thing.
I love this album! I've listened to it before and happily listened to it again! Absolutely incredible! Robert Smith is a lyrical genius, and the music is so atmospheric and ambient. It transports me to a different plane of existence, one away from the realities and insanity of life. This is one of my top ten favorite albums of all time, and one of the few albums I'd dare call nearly perfect.
This wasn’t an amazing album. It was pretty typical 80s synth-pop. Although, I did enjoy the use of auto tuned cat meows as the lead instrument for Love Action. Overall, there were three songs I kind of liked(Love Action, Don’t You Want Me, The Things Dreams are Made Of). The rest was really forgettable.
This was not a good album. The only song I can say I actually enjoyed was Ramshackle. Lord Only Knows, New Pollution, Derelict, Sissyneck, and Readymade were all ok, but the rest was absolutely horrendous. Novacane and High 5 made me feel sick, I had to skip most of them. The singer had a fine voice, not great but fine, and the guitar, bass, and drums were fine. The lyrics, random noises, and just overall weirdness though I did not like. If I could rate in half points, I’d only give this 1.5. Summary, if someone wanted to torture me to death, most of this album is the way to go.
I did not really enjoy this album. It made no sense, not instrumentally or lyrically. The only reason I’m not giving this 1 star is because Kate Bush, when she isn’t trying to sound like the female lead character in a show made for ten year old girls, has a good singing voice.
I was surprised to find I liked this album so much! I really am! I even added a few songs off of it to my playlist! I really liked this one!
I normally don’t like folk rock much. But this was incredible. It had a very strong David Bowie feel to it. This is definitely going to be a highlight for me!
This is just a fun, 80s blues rock album. I’ve listened to ZZ Top’s hit songs before, but never a full album. I was really pleased with it overall, would definitely listen to it again!
It’s Elvis, I’ve got to give it four stars. Elvis has a great voice, and I do really like his rock n roll stuff. Some of the slower songs I didn’t appreciate, and the lyrics were definitely very 1950s. But still, a decent album and one I’d be willing to listen to again!
I was surprised to discover I like this album! I’ve listened to a little bit of Culture Club before, but never a full album. And I am surprised to discover this is a pop album I like! Of course Boy George does incredible with the vocals, but I really liked the composition also. And the melding of soul, pop, and gospel music into one album is amazing!
I know how to perfectly describe this album in one incomplete phrase:
If Metallica were strongly influenced by Yoko Ono.
I feel I’ve said all I need to say on this “music” album.
This album was decent. I wasn’t a big fan of a few songs, which is what is keeping this from being five stars, but the rest is really good. I especially enjoy the lyrics, they didn’t seem to be as rhythmic as most lyrics are, and I like that!
I LOVE Pyromania!! I’ve listened to the full album before, it’s just amazing! It’s one of the best albums from the 80s, and one of my favorite albums ever recorded!! I especially love Too Late For Love, Photograph, and Foolin’!
I have to admit, I'm surprised another folk-rock album is getting five stars on here. Joni Mitchell has a great voice, and I'd happily listen to this whole album again later!
What the hell was this mess? I mean seriously, this sounded like a 2000s noise rock album. How is this even considered music? It was just noises. Its albums like these that me want the music industry to have a test and make sure potential musicians can actually make music, and not noise. Really, I hate this album! I'd rather listen to Lady Gaga than this again.
I have a huge amount of respect for Lenny Kravitz, but I’ve never enjoyed his music a lot. I’d give this album a 3.5 if I could. It had a few songs I liked, but I don’t think I’d listen to the whole album again.
I wasn’t a huge fan of this album. I’ve been meaning to check out Siouxsie and the Banshees for awhile, and I’m glad I finally did it, but this music wasn’t really rally’s my thing.
I really liked this one! Great album by a great band!! It’s the Eagles, what else is there to say?
A great album! I love Led Zeppelin! Stairway to Heaven is one of the greatest rock songs ever! The only reason this album isn’t 5 stars is because I don’t like the song Going to California. If that song were left out, I’d happily give this album 5 stars! Now, I’m hopping since I got Hotel California yesterday, and Stairway to Heaven today, that my next album is A Night at the Opera with Bohemian Rhapsody.
At first, I didn't get Floodland. But then, I heard 1959, and I finally got it. I'm not a fan of low singing, but Andrew Eldritch's vocals were great on 1959 and This Corrosion. Really, those are the only songs I'd listen to again.
I didn't really get into this album. The singer would have been a great punk singer, but I didn't like his constant screaming in this psychedelic album. And the instrumentation was all over the place. I just didn't really get it.
I kind of enjoyed the first two songs. The rest was just an hour of blues soloing, and I even had to skip through much of it, it was so boring. It wasn't bad musicianship or anything, on the contrary the Allaman Brothers Band sounds great live, but an hour of blues soloing gets really old, real fast.
I’m surprised yet again by a folk album! I really enjoyed this! Paul Simon has a great voice, and I love his guitar work on here! Only one song from this album didn’t make my playlist(Hobo’s Blues was a good song, but it wasn’t at the level of the rest).
I loved this album! It was like The Smith’s, but without Morrissey, who just ruins everything he touches!
This wasn't for me. It was based around the synth way too much and did not have enough non-synth instruments to balance it out well.
I enjoyed this one a little, but it wasn't mind blowing. I give it a solid 3/5
