Lovely, trumpet centric. Good happier background music
Repetitive, high pitch bells are annoying
Mellow but atmospheric, hit after hit, will come again
Good happy lounge with annoying interludes in between. Some childhood hits though!!
Hate it. 0/10. Every song reminds me of the 2 rem songs I do like in a very repetitive and not at all satisfying manner.
Couldn't get through it. 2 because I loved reading the reviews.
Theatrical, over the top, songs are very long too. However, a couple of them were lovely. Interesting arrangements. Would listen again in moderation.
Half of this is dissonant and annoying. The rest is alright
Meh.. but oh baby is one of my favorites ever. Glad to have been reminded of it here
It's fine. But repetitive. All songs blended into each other. Not my favorite lyrics. Understand the historical significance though
The synth sounds like gta stripper music and i could not get over it
Actually really enjoyed this! Atmospheric synth pop with a very pleasant man voice leading and nice variation in drums and base. Will listen to it again
Actually enjoyed it! Something about listening to Bjørk seemed pretentious to me so I haven't , but it was more or less enjoyable. Punky drums.
Loved it! They ate and left no crumbs. First live album I've maybe ever liked. Will be going back for more
A side was hot garbage. B side pretty good. 2.5
It's not the worst thing I have listened to but not far from it
The last couple of tracks were better and more Eno than the first ones imo
Repetitive. Doesn't feel profound in any way
Honestly easy listen. Way better that I thought it would be. Empowering lyrics.
Iconic and so badly reminds me of college
Felt vapid? Was excited to listen to Duran Duran because I love Japan but it's not for me
Kind of like my favorite era of the Arctic monkeys but slightly harder arrangements
Sounds like a highschool band except soul and fire which sounds like a sophomore college band
It's fine... Kind of even liked it. But the arrangement is so old school I really don't see myself listening to it again.
Could not get past the first track. Can't do it
The beginning is okay, then there's too much sax, then it sounds like a Disney villain
I liked this more on the second listen. The flea song is very weird but there are a few great ambiance ones. The vocals are awesome too
Couldn't get through it. Sometimes this list makes me wonder if I even like music
Oddly enjoyed this. Definitely eclectic but kind of late night car music
Kind of iconic. Worth a second listen
I thouht this was pet shop boys and was pretty surprised by the genre lol. Shocking amount of what sounds like jazz flute. I enjoyed the more relaxed interludes
Stupidly repetitive and simple thirsty music. Couldn't wait for the album to end
Very mediocre. Kind of sad
I don't know if it's because they've had an outsized impact or what but listening to it in 2024 the album sounds cringe and derivative
Bass heavy and quite great
I hated this and now I hate Morrissey. Regretting the college year+ I spent liking the smiths
Great. But the harmonica scared me a couple of times
Loved parts of this with vampiric gypsy guitar. Weird children's tunes not so much
It started really great and then got worse
I loved the first song. There were a few decent in between as well.
It's alrighty. The Spotify shuffle after this was amazing
I used to work for a certain infamous car maker with a big ego ceo. Some of this album removed me of corporate enforced event music. Bleh
Also meh. Doesn't feel genuine. Performative male energy
I really liked this. It's relaxed but not downcast. Fun beats. Like a predecessor to current whisper singing
I didn't feel a big difference between this and the other Paul Simon album on this list. Maybe more... South African themes? Those are lovely
Somehow both bland and anxiety inducing
It was fine but I didn't love it
Instant save. Energetic, complex, eventually. The gipsy guitar brought it to 5
Yeah well. I enjoy ZZ top in guitar hero explicitly. Feels like a middle aged uncle version of Sabrina carpenter.
I had hight hopes and was disappointed
Absolutely loved this. Made me hate my grandma and fuck the old generation
Hmmm. It goes up to 3 stars for BU reference and my husband is an alum. Otherwise performative males with mediocre instrumentals, odd accents and annoying lyrics
Good mood bops. Listened to this while exploring a new town.
Actually - not bad. I would love to explore like, Morocco listening to this but enjoyed a sleepy coastal town in Greece as well
He does sound constipated. But good background music. Very simple
Great album, almost no notes. Favorites: hero, you ain't the problem. Listened to it twice in a row
Not my favorite. The instrumentals were alright... But I didn't like the singing
I don't like Bowie and so I didn't like this
I like low energy music so I quite enjoyed having this in the background although I must mention I didn't realize when the album ended and random shuffle began since all of it was quite monotonous
Some of this was good and some absolute cringe. No in between
Great. Take five the song a long time favorite. Something about the soft woodwinds and a gentle drum really makes a good song
