much guitar. lots of hits

jazz. bleh.

I can't be objective. I hate the Flaming Lips.

much lamer than expected

the hits are great but the rest of the album is filler

Christ. We really let white boys do whatever they want, huh?

I recognize that this is good, it's just not for me

I actually preferred the electric portion!

Was really enjoying it until the 20 minute long drum solo at the end.

Better than I thought it would be

boring

pretty boring, 80s synth-pop

snatches of enjoyable melodies in between too many minutes of noise

Ugh. Music was kinda cool but then the singing started. Woof.

Wish I could give half stars because this is a solid 3.5. Instrumentals were cool, better than the rest of the album.

Eh. Fine. Better than expected, even. But not great.

It just never ends

At first I was like "what the hell is this?" but then when I understood that it was Zappa it made more sense. Some good, some bad. I understand why it's something worth listening to though, which is a lot more than I can say for many of the other picks I've heard so far.

The best thing about this record is that it's only 20 minutes long. Music like this is just not meant to be listened to at 10am while working from home.

Very extremely 90s

I am obviously in the minority here, because listening to her howl is like nails on a chalkboard to me. This does nothing for me.

So fuzzy it makes me anxious...like ASMR but bad. Definitely a me problem, but a problem nonetheless

There's no way it was necessary for me to listen to this supremely boring record during my limited time on Earth.

An absolute classic. I love it all. "It's Too Late" is truly great.

Vaguely interesting as a historical artifact. Many of the tracks were not available on Spotify so it was a very short listen.

A couple surprises for me: 1. I enjoyed this much more than I thought I would 2. Dwight Yoakam will murder you if you cheat on him

boring

I refuse to listen to the Eagles

boring

The linked album on spotify has 40 tracks. That's way too many for this boring, jangly album.

Would've preferred to hear Heaven or Las Vegas

Wow, I did not expect this to suck so much

Individually, I like some of these songs. The songs all sound exactly the same when listening to an entire album though.

This album is so good, but it hurts to listen to

Holy shit this music sucks

It's like the Cure but worse

I'm too much of a millennial to ever find U2 cool. The singles are fine, I guess. This band will just never do it for me.

Oh yes, I'm dying to listen to a Dion album that was a flop, had no hits, and was released well after his relevancy!

This is so stupid
