Maybe their 5th best album after Great Escape, Parklife, 13, and Think Tank.

Never listened to this before so appreciated the prompt. Amazing considering when it came out. Just Because and Money Honey were stand outs for me.

While I love this album, it's not one I go back to with any regularity. Highly innovative and new for when it was released.

Having not listened to this album in its entirety since the 90's, I enjoyed it more than I expected. That being said, is it among the 1001 albums one must hear before you die? I think probably not.

Better than I expected - another one I had never listened to in its entirety before. Seems like it could stand a remaster. Lick and a Promise was a standout among the 'deep cuts'.

A superb album. Butt-shufflin' synth pop gold.

Some crunching guitar rock. Another album I never intentionally listened to straight through before now.

Another first ever listen. Felt like second half was stronger than first. Really good though.

Hating this so far. I could not be happier that I have never heard this Comfortably Numb cover before and hope to never hear it again. Falsetto voice is annoying - forced - trying too hard. Entire album sounds dated. Not standing up to the test of time. Like a poor man's version of Jamiroquai, far less timeless, and with stupid lyrics. I never need to hear this album again. Only three songs left now. I can't wait for this to be over. This should be part of the 1001 albums no one should ever hear again.

ok first song sucks. second song also not good - hate the horns. song three - overblown, overproduced, don't like this dude's voice. song four - trying different headphones to see if i like this any better. song five - headphones not helping. going to be tough to get through this. song six was tolerable. song nine is emoting me to death. only 5 to go. song 11 - over nine minutes of torture. nothing under 4:20 left. no relief. song 13 - the long version. lucky me. song 14 - just noticed it was a b-side but notices too late to not listen. add this one to 1001 albums i hope to never hear again before i die.

What the actual f**k is this? Improv very local theater? I think he is making this up as he goes along. Yes, this is improv jazz theater. Thankful this is relatively short at just under 44 minutes (of my life). The last song is 10 minutes!!?? No way. Yet another added to the list of 1001 albums I hope to never hear again.

So mad respect for Johnny Cash - and lot of great covers here - but again - is this an all-time album that simply must be heard??? No, it isn't.

Took your music off Spotify in protest of Joe Rogan? Really?? This album isn't as good as everyone says it is regardless of that unfortunate anti free speech factoid.

When you look up cliche 60's rock, this is what you find. Scales have definitely tipped in favor of albums I hope to never hear again.
