Those later echoey vocal acoustics. Favorite song was "Crippled Inside."

Loved how the whole album was engineered. One track reminded me a lot of Nick Drake.

What can you say? Sometimes you have to get the Led out.

I didn’t know as much of this album as I thought. “Something in the Way” very haunting.

SO creative. Wonder embraces beauty. Still a lot more songs to hear.

One of my “desert island” albums. FORMATIVE. Been listening to it for almost 40 years now.

Mixed feelings. Tons of talent here but content can be jarring.

Super creative, but not my preference.

Sex saturated - but in PG language. “In the Land of Make Believe” is Joni-like in sound of vocals. “Windmills” could be a James Bond closing credits song! Musicians definitely sound like they spent some time w Elvis.

Great period piece but not one I’d listen to at length.

Not one I would reach for.

Interesting acoustic work that I hadn’t heard before.

Obscenity doesn’t equal artistic courage.

CANONICAL. The Way It Is Done. At the mountaintop of formative albums for me. I love every second of it, and it is ever fresh.

Never noticed the ending of “Welcome…Machine” before. Social trappings are the machine? Super creative album.

Creative, brave, weird. Hard to describe. The Kinks’ younger brothers/the Hoodoo Gurus’ uncles??

Didn’t grab me.

Excellent.

Fun to listen to - I’d like to revisit this one down the road

I hope they got the help they needed…. Sheeeesh.

Need to revisit at some point.

Didn’t grab me.

Sounds under-developed when compared to later stuff.

Only heard first track.

Great

Ultimate demonstration of funk

Mid 90s angst!

Not my thing.

Cool

Heavy on riffs, light on content. Or is it? I was ready to listen again the next day.

Masterpiece

Didn’t grab me like I hoped it would.

The buzz saw got old. The songs don’t seem to have actual human melodies.

Fun!

Canonical.

Period piece! Good bit of musical complexity.

Weird, didn’t enjoy it

Period piece! Fun

Had to force myself to keep listening. Not the U2 sound I prefer.

Filler. Sounds like it’s written for retail shopping background. No thanks.

Paradigm changer. I owned the album (from Aunt Judy). Not regular listening, but interesting.
