This is utterly bizarre but good, I think!

I mean, it's fine, but not outstanding - some decent rock/pop songs, but generally middle of the road on an album.

It sounds like the cover of the album looks.

Enjoyed it, but after a while felt it kind of blended into the background so as to become less memorable.

Experimental noise - if that's what you're in the mood for then it's good, otherwise it tends to blend in to the background.

Whaaaaoooow! WHaaaaa!! Whaaaaooooow! Lots of classic songs on here, good example of what is I guess classic '60s rock and roll. Enjoyed the one about strychnine

I've owned this album for years without ever having listened to it. And now it can go back to collecting dust. Not one for me.

Solid middle for me - the slight majority of songs were exceptional at creating dark gothic atmospheres and really drew me in. Others very much felt like filler material, and as such I didn't feel as drawn in as I'd hope to be.

Ignoring completely the whole theme and story that goes into this concept album, I found it more enoyable than I'd have thought. The music and orchestral arrangements are exceptional, and were it an instrumental I might have this more frequently in my rotation. The singing (speaking, really) less so - adding that in was interesting to a point, but in the end I found a breathy French man's heavy talking to wear a bit thin, even given how short this album is. I'm glad I listened to it as part of this project, however I probably wouldn't pick this up again.

Starts to sound samey and less interesting after a while. Probably a classic in its time, but feels like a classic I can be aware of and not necessarily engage with.

It's ok, but not by far a life-changing album that I'd hold onto beyond this listen.
