Great title track, the rest didnt do much for me

Gave it 30 minutes. Enjoyed some, but I don’t think I’m the target demographic. Couldn’t decide whether to add or subtract a star for rhyming sarcophagus with esophagus

Horrible band name, terrible album cover-Is a motel bathroom toilet the best backdrop you got? But fantastic harmonies, great arrangements, great album

I still have a metallic taste in the back of my throat that I cant get rid of.

I remembered liking this more. Looking back, it’s a few good songs and a good sound, though the drums sound very dated to me.

Still packs the emotional intensity I remember.

Love Willie. Love this album. Reading the backstory on wikipedia on how against the grain this was for the time makes it even better.

loved the vibe. I have to give Fenton a little credit, one of these tracks was on a Fenton Faves a few years back

Vocals mixed way up. And that’s a good thing.

Didn’t make it all the way through but enjoyed. For some reason I just don’t really get into it

Awesome

I've never watched Eurovision Song Contest, but I imagine this is what it sounds like.

Cannot deny Nile Rogers at work on this one

I haven’t listened to it but I probably like her later stuff better.

Higher than I anticipated

The pavement of their day

How do you say "cut the grass" in French? Mow de lawn.

Highway Star and Space Truckin’ take to the 4 Star level

Knew every word to every song

On the strength of Bittersweet Symphony alone I could give the album a 5, but am going with a 4

Big Fenton vibes

Didnt have the patience for this one

Block rocked right out the remaining tracks

Distinctive sound, but only one good track

Mfr's going to talk under pressure

couple of tracks seem to come out of nowhere

More piccolo!

hard to see why this was on the list.

Never heard of this guy, obviously a big influence on David Berman and Silver Jews

Solid album

I Bet That You Look Good on the Dancefloor is a longtime fave and got this review an extra star

5 stars in high school, but did not hold up over time

How knew Michael Franti had this in him

Real good, just not my thing

My jungle days have passed me by

For the two songs that were ok

I'm more of a greatest hits fan

Couple of good tracks

Classic

Somebody has a Neil Young fetish

Never heard of it. Doubt I will hear it again

Solid album

Woo-hoo! Liked the sound and vibe, but there is other Britpop I prefer.

Haaard pass

Ehh

Bleep bloop

wanted to like it more

Some strong Flavor Flav contributions

several solid songs

much higher than i expected

not as good as I remembered it

more flute than i expected

not sure if this generator could have more Neil Young if it tried

depending on mood

did not know this is where the Elastica sample was from, or that Strange was a cover by REM

mopier than I remembered

one of my Dad's favorites

Too depressing

Wanted to go 5 on the strength of first two songs, and enjoyed the rest, but it’s a slid 4

this album is either a 1 or a 5. I'm going 1

close to a 5

5 stars for Green Onions. All the other tracks could have been named Mo' Onions

One absolute banger, the rest meh

always dug this album

always liked this album and it was better than I remembered which surprised me

wish I could give it negative stars

uneven

Weird, but you cannot deny the production and ambition

there is only so much Scott Walker a person needs. Probably could have called it a day after 3.

Solid background music

One 5-star song and some filler brit pop

In hindsight the production by Jim Steinman is obvious

One banger, the rest is dated

5 stars on the strength of the start. Admittedly it fades, but those first few tracks are all time favorites.
