Experimental jazz is impressive but still not something I enjoy listening to.

Sounded a lot like The Who.

That was fantastic

Sometimes the lyrics really stand out and the rhythms gets interesting. But a lot of them songs are the same tempo and same rhythms.

Well balanced and interesting listen

I wouldn’t say this album made me love electronica, but I could tell the difference between songs which is a first.

It was fine. I had problems paying attention through the whole album.

Surprising amounts of genre influences

This album definitely influenced a lot of bands. Kill em in the hot club tonite was a fun surprise

I do not like the singer at all

I’m not sure this should count as an album. Leonard Cohen doesn’t really sing, he doesn’t rap. If he also writes melody shouldn’t he have a singer record the music?

The beats were fine, but nothing particularly new or different. I have a feeling the lyrics and the meaning behind them is where Nas shines and I didn’t really follow everything well.

Good album if your setting a mood at a party.

This album is flawless.

This was surprising. I expected electronica, and it’s there, but there were songs that felt classical and one I had to stop what I was doing just to listen.

Experimental Bowie is not my happy place

The album is interesting, but the pianist and lead guitar are often attempting difficult music that is outside of their playing abilities which I found distracting.
