I was just talking about this album minutes ago...and it was also the first album I ever bought! I'd go as far as to say that I might not even be in this group (or a huge music fan) had I not stumbled onto Adam and the Ants on American Bandstand when this album came out.
Love this album. So many great songs!
I like this album more than any Nirvana album.
This albums seems to be all over the place, something I normally appreciate but kinda find it annoying here (maybe cos I'm trying to get my head around it in order to assign a point value, something I wouldn't normally be thinking about.)
I never got into Pulp but this sounded fine, and would probably grow on me with more listens (of course, that's probably true of a lot of albums!)
I've been trying to get into this album for years now, going back to the 90's. I guess I liked it better on this listen than in the past, but still not sure I see the brilliance that others do.
I can't say I get this album the way others do.
Another that has never really moved me and still doesn’t.
I wanted to like this more than I did, after becoming more of an admirer of Dolly’s work after listening to the podcast Dolly Parton’s American recently.
I wish this was a 10 point scale cos I do like this more than other albums I gave 3 stars. Still, my issue with this album is its sameness: there are some strong songs but collectively, not a lot of variety.
Thanks for making me listen. I'd like to give this more spins. I've never liked "Cisco Kid" but I appreciated the rest of the album
I was a little disappointed in this album when it was released, as the singles and b-sides that came out before it were so amazing, I had extra high expectations. With the passing of time, I can better apprecaite this album as it is and, in my opinion, there isn't a duff track on it. It's really closer to 4.5 stars for me.
This might grow on but those vocals make it tough for me to want to keep listening, despite the fact that I think "Take On Me" is a fine song!
I thought the second half of this album was okay but the first half just felt like a parody of speed metal. I'm sure it was impressive at the time.
More like 3.5. Good album, better than most of my 3's.
