Surprising horror movie vibes with swathes of organ. Interesting and varied.

Enjoyable listen, well sung and played. Takes me back to the Eighties!

Invented a whole genre. Good stuff!

Came for the bangers but stayed for the lesser known tracks, all immaculately sung and played.

An odd one in that any single track is enjoyable on its own, especially the singles, but taken together as a half hour listening experience they become too samey to distinguish.

I thought you’d have to be in mood to enjoy these literate, lavish songs, but they put you in the mood!

Good songs, great players and not just the guitarist. Try listening to the version that comes with an interview attached - very interesting.

Beautiful, atmospheric, sad.

Heavy!

Rousing tunes very enjoyable

Moody, doomy, compelling.

Instant appeal and thought provoking lyrics

Bright and lively with interesting lyrics

Really strong record, still holds up today, great beats and pertinent lyrics.

Rich variety from heart wreaking ballads to motorik beat

Shiny strut

Cartoonish themes, slick and heavy playing, one.song’s sexual politics haven’t dated well, but enjoyable overall.

Brilliant, very atmospheric, lived in vocals perfect for the material

Great record!

Uniformly excellent!

Perfect!

Some bangers on here. Takes a while to sink in.

Great background music for going about your day. I could get used to it.

In one ear and out of the other

Very good!

Thé uptempo one’s aren’t bad.

Great fun when music and words do gel.

Masterpiece

Very enjoyable

Easy on the ear background music. I didn’t hate it.

Good album, top band

Not for me

Emotional vocals, soaring melodies, poignant lyrics. A revelation.

Entertaining and a bit different.

Every single song is beautiful and very affecting - a perfect record!

Easygoing charm

The parts that are less hip hop and more soul/rock n’ roll are the parts I prefer.

That’s entertainment!

Classy, tuneful, emotional

Great fun!

Lotsa banging toons

Not my thing at all but I can see why it is so popular

Really enjoyed this

All killer, no filler, perfect pop!

Very enjoyable

Edgy.

Stone cold classic.

Much better as a collection and a representation of the band than the other albums, more varied and instrumentally interesting. Enjoyed this one.

Very exciting

An enjoyable classic but still surprising

Ok

Pure pop perfection

Not my thing

Swaggering Weimar white blues

I really liked the beats but cannot relate to the lyrics

Highly literate, wholly convincing mixture of biting and tender songs.

Familiarity sometimes breeds taking songs for granted, but to hear them in sequence reveals how brilliantly one follows on from another and every one of them is five star.

Very enjoyable

Bliss.

Variée, tasteful, full of heart

Beautiful, surprising.
