Almost every song was a hit and I was surprised that I knew almost every one of them. It was really well done and I can appreciate the craftsmanship and how impactful it is, it’s just not the flavor of music i could see myself listening to regularly.

It’s also an important album and has influenced so many other acts. That said, many of the songs just don’t grab me, and I’m not as huge a fan of Everyday People.
