Was surprised how much of this album I recognized. It evokes a time and place only still available to us in the year 2025 on reality TV. Take from that what you will, but it's solid from start to finish.
Fantastic beats! Certainly foundational to East Coast hip-hop.
Nifty riffs, I can appreciate that as a guitarist, even though I'm not the biggest Metallica fan. All-time tone on songs like One, despite the relatively thin percussion sound. Songs could be, um, shorter. By more than half in some cases. As a result, by "The Shortest Straw", I begin getting what doctors might label "Metallica fatigue". Also, not sure why they decided not to fix the mixing on the remaster, perhaps sentiment? Lyrically a touch angsty for my tastes (also, "doth" on "The Shortest Straw"?? Maybe that's a bit of a nitpick) -- had I found this album years ago, perhaps I'd appreciate it a bit better. Regardless, I find at least one thing to like about most every piece on this album.
Sorry, not a big fan, unfortunately. Perhaps I need to spend more time with it?
Good stuff! Could have done without the graphic hanky-panky bits.
Wow. I just... really did not like this. Made me feel not good.

WOW. Excellent stuff.
I think England should probably settle down in general. Regardless, several decent bops off this one, has a good run from tracks 2 to 7.
Holy moly!
Better-than-average Doors album.
Beats were ridonkulous, each member had a very distinct style. The feel seems to me to be quite characteristic of a time and place with which I am unfamiliar, yet I recognize it all the same.
Harpsichord, innit?
Magnum opus territory.
Wonderful double album with an interesting backstory. Long, but packed full of personality. Marlene raises some eyebrows lyrically.
