Honestly, kind of a fun reminder of a certain time and place, except for the risible "All in the Family" which is a mortifying reminder of a certain time and place.

This stuff must have been mind-blowing in the Weimar Republic, and it's pretty cool to release an album of pro-worker German cabaret songs in 1988, but this was absolutely not for me! I don't like stench, I don't like garbage!

I read about a culture where, instead of saying they don't like a certain food, they say "I don't know how to eat this". I feel that I don't know how to listen to 2112. It's certainly not BAD.

I thought I would hate this when it started, but like the creeps at the center of all these songs, it gradually wore me down. I think "This is not a sin, it's not even original" is when I started to get on the same page.

I'm torn. This was a really good listen, the musicians are so talented and the performances are incredible, but I cannot imagine ever having the desire to hear it again, which I think has to be part of what makes a great album. Experiencing this live would be the best, but relistening to improvised music seems crazy. Do I maybe just take issue with the concept of jazz recordings?

Possibly the most precisely 3.5 album I've run into on here. It's better than a three, they know exactly what they're doing and are nailing it, but giving it a full four stars feels crazy. But I'm limited by the tools available to me, so congratulations, this thing really wails.
