A nice collection of music.

It's ok

Excellent music to listen to while in the woods, at night, with your friends, tripping on LSD. Otherwise, I'm just not sure when I would listen to this.

Decent album

Very nice

A fun and goofy album, but strange at the same time.

Enjoyed the album as a whole. Some of it was great and some not so much. It's difficult to rate it as a fantastic album.

This was not on my "playlist" when it first came out. It has aged better than I have. Listening now, it is an exceptional album.

Exceptional album

Some of the songs were good and some were just ok.

Nice album. Enjoyable music. Catchy tunes.

Great singer. Mediocre album. Nice songs that tell a story.

Nice album

It was ok.

Very nice album. Solid piece of work.

I didn't find it interesting or enjoyable. I see the value in this type of music, but it's not something I would sit down and listen to.

Nothing special about this. Seems like a run of the mill alternative band.

A bit quirky.

I did not enjoy this.

Generally it was ok. Some decent music, however, there were beats that were obnoxious after a bit.

Enjoyed to some extent.

After listening for a bit, I started to wonder what sort of mind produces this kind of music. I then read his bio. It's still good. I actually enjoyed listening to the wild variations.

Music sounds like a lot of other music. Couple of times I thought something sounded familiar but was just a bit different. Nothing stood out.

Very good album. A few exceptional songs and some average ones. Nice to listen to.

Judging the album in and of itself rather than the book of work done by U2, I thought the album was good, not fantastic, but a solid piece of work.

Nice album

Unique and outside the box a bit. It was ok

Very simple and market oriented. Not anything exceptional.

At times there were moments where I thought the album would take off, then it came crashing down in some mundane way.

A lot of same same going on. Lyrics are very basic nonsense.

A little outside the box. Had to listen to it twice. Second time I really go into it and thought it was well done.

The album has a number of great songs. It is also filled with some not so great songs. Overall, a good album, but not a great album.

It was enjoyable. Very nice vocals. Lyrics are a bit on the wild side.

Nice sound. Nothing stands out. I'm in the middle on this. Enjoy the band but this seemed like a mediocre effort.

She has a nice voice. Lyrics are simple, but I guess that's Country music for the most part. Nothing really stood out other than sadness, but I guess that's Country music as well.

Either this album is genius or it's a thrown together piece of garbage. I don't know, but it's not enjoyable to listen to.

Good sound. It was ok.

A few good, if not great songs, but overall a bit average.

A bit biased as this came out in my high school years. It was played at every party. Is it one of the greatest albums ever made? Some 50 years ago I would have said yes. Today after 50 years of great music, it seems just a bit better than average.

Nicely done. Some really good music.

The album was nice to listen to. It's not some crazy work of music. Lyrics are so-so.

The music was nice

This is just noise. There is nothing redeeming about it.

Mixed bag of music; some good and some not so good. Difficult to rate it average given the source.

She has a wonderful voice and is a very beautiful woman. Around the second half of the album, I was hoping it would be over. The music isn't awful but does repeat a bit.

Didn't know what to make of it on first listen. Second time around I found it to be a solid piece of music. Enjoyed it.

Nothing exceptional about this album. Like the sound and vibe, but that's about it.

I've never understood the following this band is able to produce. I always thought it was a mindless group who enjoyed the company rather than the music. This album is proof of that idea. Musically, they can play the instruments, but it's not thoughtful and together.

Didn't enjoy. Don't really understand how this is a top album.

Decent album.

It was ok.

Very nice.

It was ok

This was a little odd for me. The instrumentals were ok, but the voice over the entire album was too much to take.

The album was well done. I enjoyed listening to it.

It was ok. Couple of good songs. Overall I thought it was a nice album.
