Skipped 'Hello' right off the bat, as I heard it a lot when it first came out and never liked it. With this album, I had a similar reaction as I did to Adele's 21: I skipped many of the songs about halfway through, as I found them pretty boring. I did like 'I Miss You', though. Saved that song, but won't be revisiting this album.

I go into each album with an open mind and always give them a shot, even if I can tell it's not going to be my thing. I finally found myself wanting to skip ahead, thinking that I must be a decent way through the album by this point, BUT IT WAS STILL THE FIRST SONG. I love me some 90s electronica and trip hop and can appreciate the trailblazing aspect of an album like this, but having just seen that the album runs nearly two hours in length, I don't think I will be listening to the whole thing.

I listened to the whole thing in a daze of morbid fascination, intending to skip it entirely after listening to the first track and seeing what I was in for. However, the weirdness was strangely hypnotic and I just kept letting it play. Dissonant and bizarre.
