I'm fairly confident you could die without listening to this album and still live a musically fulfilled life.

Good, but not as good as her later albums.

Very rhythmic and pulsating.

This is an incredible album. Some fantastic and complex indie music. Absolutely love it and will listen many times again

Catchy and fun, but not my style

Very heavy. One dimensional. Did not appeal to me in the slightest

Really complex. Kinda atmospheric 80s rock... But with some spacey/complex elements. Some tracks I loved and some tracks I could go without.

This should be the official soundtrack to the radddad Instagram page

Absolutely incredible album. Powerful lyrics, a beautiful unique voice, and a perfect light guitar that backs up and compliments her voice so well. This is a gem!

This album was a struggle. I'm pretty confident there was never any chord progressions or any dynamic harmonics in the entire thing. It's basically very, very aggressive drumming, combined with a half-screaming vocalist, and some overly repetitive guitar.

To all the people who are thinking about giving this 1 or 2 stars.. I get it. I really do. This isn't a simple, black and white, nice rock n' roll album with a nice easy to follow logical chord progression. It doesn't have easy lyrics that you can relate to. It doesn't have anything simple or familiar that you are use to hearing. But yet, that's why this album is incredible. The layers and the complex harmonies that are all occuring at the same time are breathtaking and unlike any other music out there. Literally take any of the songs in this album, and focus on one instrument for 5 minutes (the trumpet, guitar, bass, drums, keyboards, etc). And you will hear how complex and riviting each component is by itself. Then you combine it and overlay it with everything else that's going on... You get an album that you can listen to 100 times and always hearing something different. This is a perfect rock/jazz/fusion album.

I'm fairly confident you could die without listening to this album and still live a musically fulfilled life.

If AI where to create a very generic blues/rock album, this would be the one. If basically a very bland blues/rock/folk-ish album.

If this album was released 10 years later, I would give it a 3. But because it was released in 86 and how it set the stage for hip-hop music going forward I have to give this a 4.

This album is very straightforward. Irish folky drinking music that is exactly as it's described. Is it good and entertaining? Sure. Does it deserve to be on a list of albums you MUST hear before you die? Probably not.

This album was a fun one. I definitely get some jam-band psychedelic rock type, combined with a pop/punk vibe as well. Odd and unusual - but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

This is absolutely horrendous. There are no musical qualities at all that I can extract from this album whatsoever. It's just sheer, blinding, excessive drums and heavy guitar and builds to nothing as the song and albums progresses. Genuinely shocked why this album is on here.

I do love the fact this album is very unique... And has a strong prog rock/avant-garde/jazz fusion taste. But I just think there are so many better versions of this genre out there than this album (for example, Chick Corea). This album lacked a general sense of cohesion, struggled to really pull me in, and was a little too much "out there".

Never heard of her or this album before. Beautiful voice coupled with jazz/blues/rock instrumentation. Really good chemistry throughout the whole album!

This is one of those albums that is on this list due to historical significance. Apparently it was used to inspire the work of a lot of others that came after it. That's one of the downfalls I think of this list. I won't argue that this album has historical significance and important in the music timeline... But is it really that enjoyable and something you must listen to? Probably not.

This is really beautiful. Rides the line perfectly between country and folk.

Not quite getting the hate for this album. Who cares if it's a dude from Scotland doing reggae? You like what you like, and for me this is pretty catchy and a fun listen. There is also some experimental/tri-hop/indie vibes throughout the whole album too which makes its very unique. I haven't heard anything quite like it so in my book it's getting points for creativity. The downfalls I see is the whole album doesn't flow very well. Especially at the end some of the songs are quite boring and way to repetitive. Overall I thought it was a pretty good listen.

Beautiful hip-hop/jazz hybrid album.
