Violent Femmes
Violent FemmesInteresting but I wouldn’t listen to it on a regular basis. I understand that in 1983 it could have been refreshing.

An album that seems a greatest hits from any other band… Not to mention other Led Zeppelin’s albums that could also be a hits collection on their own. They have some many great songs they choose to went with numbers for albums for 4 in a row. It’s not a surprise that a lot of people thought that they had something going on with the man in Red. But what they do not know is that the man in Res loves Led!
Classic album, but it’s not a highlight in their discography. Personally, I don’t enjoy it as much as others, although it contains 3/4 songs important for their discography.
Easy to listen and to forget.
I love when the album’s name has an intimate relationship with the album’s mood-much like Pantera’s Vulgar Display of Power. The dirty sound of the guitar has influenced a lot of the bands I like to listen, but there are also interesting experiments such as the vocals in Penetration and the end of Death Trip.
How not to love an album that starts with an Oh Yeah! And then proceeds to show the bleeding sound of that guitar weeping of joy all along the album… The piano, all the guitar solos, everything is exquisite. The fine humor in the lyrics is appreciated as well. And the title… (that’s what she said!!)
Not my cup of tea.
Delicious album. Very difficult to put in a genre box, but luckily we don’t need to. It’s entertaining and crowded with sounds-in the good way. We have a word in Argentina for jamming-it’s “zapar”. What a lovely coincidence.
Nice album, interesting sounds, but forgettable
Good to finally hear Venom, a prelude to the Trash Metal scene, and I like to hear the transition they represent, although the songs don’t really stand out one from each other.
Lovely sounds. Keeps you hooked and at the same time you can continue doing other things. It’s like an 80’s spy movie, where the crime is solved but the detective’s life doesn’t. Victim is gone, murderer uncovered, but heart is lonely and broken. Moving forward is just a way of not thinking. Unsettling yet intriguing.
Self awareness is one of the greatest attributes of this album. If you’re in the mood for it, there’s hardly anything more suitable.
Astounding beats
Chill at the side of the hill.
Sign of an era.
Classic album. Love how it starts, what a riff
Trapped. Not sure in what way
Well, chill, nice, easy to reposten if it is in loop, but difficult to recall.
The bad seeds are not that bad after all. I would say they are easy going seeds.
Nothing much to say. I think that if the list is to be rewritten today this wouldn’t be counted in.
Nice melodies and that’s about it
The best thing out of this album is the last song that was going to be covered by Johnny Cash later. Strange sounds, interesting atmospheres, not suitable for all moods, but for that mood of not being at terms with anyone is great.
Epic and upsetting for opening the eighties. You can hear how it has influenced many artists.
Not my cup of tea
Just for the album cover I should give this a 5. It’s very innovative considering the year and I’m sure these sort of arrangements have been a great influence for a great deal of music nowadays. Curious about what would they have done if they would continue with Curtis. But New Order is pretty outstanding in their own.
Can’t believe I’ve never heard of this band before. Songs are amazing and trippy. Definitely worth a revisit.
it sounded very linear to me, not hills or slides, nor thrills or ridea
Need to listen more to give more love
Excelent álbum! Innovative and fun, a nice journey!
Outstanding album!!! Exquisite and the journey pays off nears the end with the insanely addictive Layla.
Excellent album. Delicious to hear such good songs from another era.
Delicious melodies and subtle sounds.
Contains a classic, you wait for the classic, the classic passes, you wonder why.
Nice, chill and pleasant sounds, there are moments when this could just be it.
Sick album. Can't understand how it was produced in 1986. Addictive hooks and lines. So fun to listen to. Towards the end, energy goes down a little bit, so I'll drop one star.
Glorious album. My gateway into U2's journey. Signature drums, guitar, bass and voice. A sound is formed with greater clarity and purpose. Although not yet up there with the Crown's jewels, it's definitely a must listen.
I would need to unlisten 70% of the music I know to properly appreciate this record. I’m sorry but I just cannot help but listen a low profile version of the Beatles.
Two classics brought me in, and opened my ears to this variation of Bowie and Morrissey incorporating more urgent 90s melodies.
Weird time loop but interesting at the same time. Decent listen.
What you would expect from Bowie. Solid album and some classics
Welcome back to the weird 80’s! Hard to digest
Fun, groovy and easy going. Like that friend from High School with whom you have not talked ever again.
Sweet ost for someone in his 30s, seeing the middle of the road right ahead
Exquisite album.
Nice American folk music
A trip with a couple of highlights that are revisiting worthy
Listened 3 times, and it grew on me
Historic album with a sound that is already very recognizable.
Not into this.
Classic forgettable album :A
Interesting
Awesome tunes to come back every once in a while!
Wow, what an unique voice and songs. Seems they have been created to last for good.
Gotta appreciate the creativity and the universe they have created
Bring the noise! Was featured in Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater and for that only I give one extra star
Extra star for the experimental sound but it’s a little bit tiresome.
Meh
It’s just beyond incredible not only that a band can produce an album like this, but also that the same band created The Dark Side of The Moon. The album of an era, telling the story of a generation following the life of a broken man.
Compelling album with its own universe!
Weird, compelling, but just didn’t hook me completely.
Feel obliged to give it a 4, since it has generational anthems, but will give it a 3 because I don't like it that much to be honest.
Exquisite and unique piece of music. Must have listened to heads will roll and Skeletons over 200 times. The rest of the album keep a very tasteful tone, but it all would sum up to 8.5/10.
I value my life more than keep listening more than 5 tracks of this album. Not amused at all.
Some great classic songs that alone give this 6/10.
A must stop in the highway of music. The album that made them what they are and that will forever be in any shelf of a music lover.
Janie’s got a gun is a gem that trademarked their sound with that Runaway… run run baby runaway! The rest is a great album from the early years…
Classic smooth Jazz.
Fresh for the year it was published. Similar songs that form a landscape, cozy but like a hotel you would never return.
Can’t avoid but thank Dusty with all my self for recording one of the pearls of Pulp Fiction! Such a sweet voice and sound. The recording volume is a little bit shaky though
To have another artist such as Ryan Adams making, instead of a cover of a song, a cover of the entire album, speaks greatly of this album. Without a doubt, it has marked a generation, and will live rent free in a lot of gen-z’s and millennials as well. I don’t consider personally a 5 star album, but I do recognize its influence and beautiful melodies.
Amazing album! Listen to it twice in a row. So many great songs and powerful yet tender melodies, with an melancholic sound and thoughtful lyrics.
Fresh, yet epic and resisting the tides of time. So many hits in one delivery seems unfair for the future, but that’s what happens when creativity cannot be contained. It will sound in radios for a long, long time…
Nice songs of another time
Dr. John has created a world to live in, and this is the first window ever to peek inside it. I can hear how this has influenced some artists I like, such as Mr. Bungle, or at least, that's the feel I get.
I wouldn’t listen to this on the beach. But it’s a fine record
A beautiful sonic landscape worthy of your time, if you are in the mood to chill. Nice legacy of a short life.
Ten out of ten, five out of five. Ten in Spanish stands for “Here You Have” and I think that’s beautiful. Once Eddie Vedder’s voice grows on you, the guitars will guide you on a journey that will fill any void. And I think it’s when you have listened many many albums that you can recognize how unique this record is.
I should have listened to this without having listened to everything that came out later. It’s hard to appreciate the shock after it’s passed.
A much needed reinvention of Tango in a fusion attempt to transmit its essence to new generations. Beautiful idea and better execution.
A classic album that influenced a generation. Easy to listen and memorable.
