Incredible mix of genres.... Loads of fun, lots of surprises... A great find.

Undeniably Blur - great riffs, interesting lyrics, eclectic mix of eccentric songs... Great to hear and one that's already in the collection

Very formulaic... She has an amazing voice, but it's all a bit repetitive... Rather safe....

A bit bland. Nothing memorable.

Prog rock at its best!! Loved this since I was a kid.... Still amazing. Everything is excessive - the long drum solos, the screaming vocals, the guitars and the organs.... And it works... It could be seen as pompous (probably is) but for me it works. Awesome....

Some great tracks, especially the title track, but just gets repetitive.... Too much sexyness!

Fantastic!! That's all.

Some good songs, but too long. Half the length would have definitely improved the overall product.

An incredible soundscape....Not heard anything like this before... very engaging

Hardcore punk. Not for me.... Probably influential in it's time,but I hope to never have to hear it again

Just don't get it... No discernable rhythm that I can hear.... Really struggling to understand it... What's the big deal????

What an album!!! Every song a banger!!! Great lyrics that really reflect the times (and still relevant 50 years later). Beautiful harmonies, soleful and funky as you like!!! AND it has Papa was a rolling stone!!! This is the first album that has stopped me in my tracks..... Listened to it 4 times back to back. Definitely one to add to the collection!

The production is great and the quality of the recording is superb.... But, it's just so bland..... If this record had colour, it would be grey.

As others havne e said, it is a bit of a mish-mash.... Some great songs (Tusk), some not so much.... Worth a listen, but not really that memorable.

Not a fan of Hip-hop, but this really surprised me. It actually very listenable - lyrics still relevant, good rhythms, not what I was expecting. It might make it into the collecton!!

Phenomenal album. Banger after banger. Takes me back...

Some fantastic songs - Wanna Be Starting Something, Thriller, Beat It, Billy Jean, PYT... But then the sappy duet with Paul Mccartney on The Girl is Mine.... and other generic 80's soul pop that is average. The great far outweighs the not so good - it's one thats in the CD collection.

Just No

Awesome!!! Big fan of CCR. Love this blues/rock.

A great album... not their best,but the standard is high! Brothers in Arms (song) is my all time top 10.

See my review for Made in Japan!! Love a bit of DP!!

Eclectic mix that just feels a bit of a mess. Some good tracks, but not too special

There is no doubt when T Rex is playing. Very distinctive sound....seems rather formulaic. Title track is worth a listen,but otherwise I'll pass

Not a Bad song on this one. Great mixture of soul, funk, disco,rock... An easy 5!@

Great bit of classic soul, rock and roll and blues. Fantastic voice - smooth and silky... Must get on vinyl for the collection...

I've never listened to CSNY before, although I've heard of them. Thouroughly enjoyable. Give it a go!!

Not great.... It definitely gets better as you get deeper into the album. I just find his voice whines a bit....

Couldn't get into this.... Unable to finish....

Rock,blues,soul..... A bit of everything..... And that Texas sound!! Like it all.

Not a Hip-Hop fan,but this works..... Some good rhythms behind the rap...

So much more than Brim Full..... Decent, eclectic album.... Is their version of Norwegian Wood better than the original?????😅

Might work if you're a Metallica fan. I'm not.

A really surprising album. I've had to listen to it a few times and it has really grown on me. 70+ minutes of repetetive sounds and rhythms - no vocals.....not what I would have thought I would have liked, but it works....

There's nothing that I can add that hasn't been said...

A unique album. Love it all.

Love the big band sound.. Not a massive fan of Sinatra's voice, but the two together work well.

Agree it us one to listen to before I die. It is unusual, - a very unique voice and interesting intelligent lyrics -just not my bag

Nothing redeeming.

What an odd album. It's very atmospheric and got my imagination going....Really enjoyed it.

Average 1980s pop. Others do this genre better.

Great as background. Sometimes it sounds like the musicians are playing their own tune....Doesn't seem to gel to my ear.

Quite eclectic....lots of different styles, just nothing outstanding to my ear....

Love it!!! Love the rhythm, the bass... The lyrics tell great stories and I feel 'there'.

Just doesn't click with me....

Not the usual. Very stripped back, almost folks style....Really decent.

Great lyrics. Melodies not so much.
