Interesting 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!!)
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.
Chill at the side of the hill.
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.
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
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.
Classic forgettable album :A
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.
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.
Nice surprise. Wasn't expecting to hear what might have influenced Gorillaz, with that trippy, dark and introspective sounds.
Listened twice, appreciated the rhymes, but didn’t find something special
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.
The Voice alone is 5 stars. If it not were for the lack of variety along the album... I would give it 5 stars as well... I know I've got you under my skin deserves more but I'm staying at 4.
I expected something totally different. For me, it underdelivered.
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.
OST of a non existing crime movie. Awesome idea, although the execution could have been more memorable.
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…
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.
Dust is a great ride, really enjoyable, although the feelings the singer expresses are not really happy, but melancholic, bittersweet, anxious and anguished, in a tainted poetry that cherishes the song above the personal pain. Every song brings you to the next one in a nice journey, as if you were driving a car full of dust with an open window for you arm to rest there.
Embarking a mystical journey in the middle of the night with a halo of ashes in the horizon as inevitable as the moon, the album starts nicely with a really catchy yet psychedelic song. The following morning you realize that all that you knew could have been yours, but you keep on stepping on the gas with the wind in the hair and the past in the rearview mirror. Another day passes and the night falls again looking at her instead of the road, as a specter in your mind.
The sunset comes in a postcard view in Dying Days, one after another in the same car, to accelerate in Make my Mind, with a climax in the solo... And that false ending!
The night settles in Sworn and Broken, passing the finger through the dusted car to draw a child with open arms and weird smile. But the next day comes as a bullet and starts shouting out loud with a guitar riff you cannot witness without awe, fear and vertigo as you look in the mirror and you try not to look too long.
You need to stop after that ride. Halfway there. It's a broken morning outside. You need a break, as you're trying' to meet the dawn.
After all, it's the longest way you've traveled / From the darkness to the light / Lord it's been a million miles / In these prisons you can't abide.
All along you've been the traveler, forever outta time, forever just unwinds. You focus on the dew, as you want to make it through.
You feel like rays of shattered light are there to bleed my eyes, as the spark has burned away until the blind has settled inside. You've been in roads they have never seen, been or dreamed, and you need someone to take you higher...
But the next day you waking up without her again and the sky burns into your soul. All you need to know is that she's yours.
But you feel alone. And your dreams are torn.
The car's gone. She's gone.
All is left is dust.
Experimental yet likeable, but at the same time I feel like there’s something lacking, I didn’t feel anything unique about it. Band on the run is a classic, that is true, but the rest…
Waiting for something that never happens.
Crazy loops, hooks and changes, with a constant flow and astounding sonic scenarios, with fine bass and guitars. It drives you in and makes you feel it. The fear of a black planet is to be outside it.
It seems his guitar has a life of its own. And with it he creates a fantastic mystical world in 37 minutes.
Interesting so I will probably return to it in my lifetime.
They have invented a new thing here: Metal "in the style of" Classical music. Although Power / Epic metal with organs and winds had existed for some time, they have shown the world that guitars, drums and James voice can (not so) peacefully coexist in a song. Blessed are those who went to the Live Concert.
Groovy but i'm not in the mood for it
An ambitious album that challenged everyone who was expecting a "Yes, Master" to the magnificent "OK Computer". Abandoning guitar-driven anthems and experimenting with electronic sounds, loops and instruments, they made an unique mark in the history of music.
Sometimes I feel it was what U2 tried to do with Pop, but done right. It was not an adaptation of Radiohead songs to fit an electronic mood, these were Radiohead songs, and they were electronic.
I have came across Kid 17, an fan experiment who recorded Kid A on top of Kid A with a difference of 17 seconds:
Kid 17 = Kid A (0:17) + Kid A.
The result, beyond psychedelic.
If the Guitar had a soul, Jimi Hendrix would had owned it and given it a voice.
Great voice for cozy songs
After some listening sessions it started to grow on me. Doll Parts is quite charming. But I prefer celebrity skin
My favorite album. Every listen is a gift. The layers, subtleties and complexity of the composition perfectly show the distress caused by the aspirational life it's imposed to us. If punk was a protest against the system from outside of it because of lack of basic needs and expression... This album alone is a protest against the system from the inside because of comfort overdose. Brilliant from the first car sounding riff in Airbag to the final bell in The Tourist.
Every song is an impossible standard for any other 90's band, and it's mind-blowing how my brain keeps discovering things with every listen.
Not what I expected, not my favorite of theirs
Incredible start!! I remember how it made me jun from my seat the first time I listened to it.
Harmonies are sick, as well as the doom and dynamic sound, and the powerful voice from Layne. I used to run to this album and it was a good choice every time.
Well, I’m pretty sure this album wouldn’t have made a list done in 2024
Interesting sounds loved by artists I love for reasons I don't fully get.
They were going through Changes.
I didn’t understand some lyrics, but it was the guitar talking. Extra star for the year!
Weird but nice. Interesting and catchy. A fresh album in this genre.
A solid presentation letter. 7/10
Smooth, chill, sweet songs.
Classic live album, nice tunes and felt guitars. I can see this was an inspiration to many, such as Jack White.
Easy songs for the radio and for memories that won’t last that long
Not pleasant, but real. Some sick tunes in here. I especially liked Scare Crow. Unique atmosphere.
Classic album however you see it. Full of famous guitar riffs and signature vocals. Got to love this.
The gate that opened Metallica’s world to me. More structured than its predecessors, with a more likable sound, it’s a perfect album for me. The song lyrics, riffs, gigantic drumming and solos… did entertain me for quite a while back in the day. My special song is Wherever I may roam, followed by Of Wolf and Man and The God that failed.
Quite an impact in the moment it came out, it left some classics with a distinctive groove.
We have to be thankful to live in a time and space where we are able to listen to this record.
Started well, but blended into a tasteless murmur.
Awesome trip full of flavors.
Classic album that has inspired people all over the world
It’s quite a pleasant album to listen as a whole. The highlight would be indeed the 7th song, Wake Up, that reminds me of the U2’s Vertigo Tour, but the whole album has a distinctive sound and that makes it stand out.
I really liked it. Something I wasn’t used to and unique. I listened to them for the first time with their Army of Me version and it was stunning.
Classics from the 70s! Quality; fun and heartfelt songs for all of us.
Kept waiting for La Grange as a Sharp Dressed Man. Beautiful guitars in here.
I didn’t quite understand the valleys of this album, but they mountains are a high ride!
A free spirit singing an hymn that reached millions.
Notorious 80s album that you cannot “jump”! I didn’t enjoy it personally in a big way
Interesting, varied, and hints of classic songs.
Playful and exciting, he’s having fun and shows it, without shouting
Not very much into it. “You had to be there to feel it” vibes.
This has 80's written all over it. But I found it to be like a car trip to nowhere, partly enjoyed by the trip itself and not the destination.
Quite surprised about the different flavors included in this album. The hit 'Le Freak' made me think it would be filled of Freaky variations, but it wasn't the case at all. Yes, there was funk, and soul, but also smooth melodies that made overall a pleasant album to listen to.
Nice dark songs to help you through some nights.
A classic album, 15 years before I was born. I would love to have listened to it with 16 years in 72', to feel the raw impact on the music scene and the contrast of their sound, but I got to listened to it with 38 years as an musical archeologist. This period of 60 to 75 is a blessed collection of pearls and golden necklaces you can wear at any occasion.
Nice album. Spring evenings suit it good.
Interesting chill folky album.
Nice but somehow forgettable. Maybe after a few listens it could grow on me.
Interesting, but I think I need more time with it. Not a bad thing to say.
Lovely Mexican fusion cuisine.
