While I really like some of the tracks, the full album gets a bit much. Unless of course you are high!

Its the Beatles. Lots of nostalgia for me here. Songs are pretty tight, though a bit simple for these times... still, at the time cutting edge

Nice, but it didn't hold my attention for the whole play... not sure I'd pick it to play, but it would be ok if someone else put it on. I'd listen

Understand this was "ground breaking", but I still don't get it 30 years later. Just not my style

While not my style, her emotion and voice are stunning...
