some really great guitar tones, especially for 1970 generally found singing quite annoying, however did hit the spot on a few songs and doesn't really overall affect the performance (immigrant song, since I've been loving you, tangerine) around 7/10

already heard, some great hits, kinda weird early digital instrumentals, but does sometimes work (BOB). rapping is soo good from both members, genuinely some of the best of all time. but boring/long instrumentals/choruses are the main limiting factor. favorite songs: Ms. Jackson, so fresh so clean, bombs over Baghdad, Gangsta shit. Definitely potential for change, but probably like this slightly less than Aquemini. overall around 8/10

I quite like the 'organic' feel of some of the instrumentals, where the percussion is not just drums, and other things like chimes etc. However imo quite a lot of the songs are quite boring and seem like something ive already heard, possibly because this particular style has been imitated/adapted by others. Favorite songs: easy money, carry me, o children overall around 6/10 (potentially higher though)

I love the 'somber' yet still emotional kind of mood that quite a lot of the songs portray. the instrumentals are usually quite simple by still often go a long way. not really any downsides besides the short length of the whole album. Favorite songs: America, overs, old friends, Mrs. Robinson, at the zoo overall around 8/10

Some really great funky songs, really liked his singing voice, however most of the instrumentals sounded very similar and the lyrics were also similar. Overall around 7/10

ah maybe this is made for American people. instrumentals are average, voice is very annoying (kinda knew it would be) for me it represents nearly everything wrong with bad 70s/80s vocalists. some of the guitar/string/brass parts are quite cool, especially with last 2 songs. to me, nearly the whole album feels like the overly happy major chord dominant closing song in a bad western musical. favorite songs (relative): born to run, meeting across the river and the closing track I guess, as the instrumental part in the middle may be the best part of the album for me. overall around 5/10

So refreshing after the last album, as i believe that they are quite similar singers, but this is much more introspective. i really like the live aspect and the comments/bloopers he makes. no real downsides as i think that he completely nails this specific style, however all of the instrumentals are nearly identical. favorite songs: all of them, the album seems like such a full body of work that it feels incorrect to single out a specific song. overall around 8/10

feels very modern, very ahead of its time for 1974 really like the blend of singing voices, as they both have very different styles. not really any downsides, besides a few songs having some theatrical sections, however I believe that some songs are theatrical in a good way (last song). Favorites: Down where the drunkards roll, the end of the rainbow, the great Valerio. overall around 8/10

really like the blend of male/female vocals, especially with female as backing vocals. Most of the instrumentals are relatively similar, but the it makes a lot of sense given the very distinctive genre. favourite songs: rebel music, So Jah S'eh, Talkin' blues, revolution overall around 7/10

already heard, but I really like pretty much every song. much more 90s rock-focused that future releases, and therefore meant that the band were confined to the instruments they played (e.g. limited additional instruments, synths, etc.) no real downsides at all, besides some parts songs sounding like either nirvana clones or that they could be on Pablo Honey. Favorite songs: first 4 songs, just and black star overall around 9/10

I like quite a lot of the elements of the rock n roll hybrid style with quite a lot of interesting effects. instrumentals are good, especially the early breakbeat on the last song. Favorite songs: cinnamon girl, running dry (requiem for the rockets, cowgirl in the sand overall around 7/10

I like the range of instrumental types and the instruments used, singing is not annoying which is quite uncommon for songs of this genre/time period. not really any major downsides, except the weird balancing at some points, like the organ in the first or second song. Favorite songs: Siberian Khatru, And You and I. overall around 8/10

Didn’t think I would like for some reason, but not the case. I really like the mix of singer-songwriter and Beatlesque rock n’ roll. His voice is not too annoying and when layered in overdubs/backing vocals sounds really good. Favourite songs: all of them pretty much Overall around 8/10

Wow what a coincidence. I still like this, but in some ways I feel like it is just the last album but worse. I like the flanger on some songs, but the more rock and roll type songs start to get a bit annoying. Favourite songs: first 2 and last one. Overall around 6/10

I like the instrumentals, especially the percussion. I think that the lyrics are the most important aspect, so quite a lot could have flown over my head, but I still liked them and found them very relevant... some vocal runs are a bit abrasive, but I feel like that is intended. Also quite a lot of the instrumentals sound the same. Favorite songs: Shameika, under the table, ladies. overall around 7/10

really cool, I kinda thought I wouldn't like it. instrumentals are quite varied and don't sound dated. Vocals sound like an early version of the strokes, especially drums on first song... Favorite song: Tonight - they are all good but this one is a whole step ahead to me. Overall around 7/10

WHY DOES IT KEEP DELETING MY COMMENTS gonna make this short: Kinda 2 albums, one first few songs and last one, second second last and third last. first is quite good but last is terrible overall around 5/10

This has gotta be the least listened to album on the whole thing Its fine, pulls from so many areas, so many different vocal styles and stuff. I quite like the Talking Heads type parts though. Every song feels incredibly average. Not really any favorite or least favorite songs. overall around 6/10

experimental, but not annoyingly. quite early for something like this, it doesnt really sound like anything else at this time. Not too many downsides, the long song drags on quite a bit. Favorite song: last one Overall around 7/10

A mix of loads of things, feels like a pre-cursor to the pixies, and ultimately the 90s grunge stuff. Weirdly, the bass is often quite high in the mix, which I actually really like, as most of the basslines are really good. Favorite songs: Add it up, Gone Daddy Gone. overall around 7/10

TOO long, could probably cut like half the songs. I thought this was better. Choruses are soo repetitive, but just because theres so many songs, theres quite a few good ones. Rapping is fine. Favorite songs: Many men, bloodhound, Gotta make it to heaven, Wanksta, Lifes on the line . Overall around 6/10

its fine, only real replayable song for me is the most popular one and the last one. Singing at best sounds like a pre-cursor to red hot chili peppers but at worst is just ass. guitars and solos are cool in some sections. overall around 5/10

Quite interesting. such a variation of styles, some of it (the drums especially) remind me of massive attack/trip hop kind of thing. I quite like a lot of the singing, some of the lyrics are quite creative. Some songs could have gone much harder though. I'm not sure if I can even pick out a best (or worst song). Overall around 7/10

some lines/songs have not aged too well, but pretty much all of them go soo hard, with the NWA type energy and beats which I like a lot. Favorite songs: pretty much all of them, especially at the start. Overall around 8/10

really cool, feels quite timeless, I think there are quite a lot of singers, which means that it doesn't get too boring. Some nice guitar solos as well. Only complaints are really that some songs feel like nothing. Favorite songs (that I remember (probably more) ): Street worm, rougher road. Overall around 7/10

already heard, any not too long ago as well. I like quite a lot of the songs, as the boom-bap 90s hiphop style is cool, however as its purely instrumental, and quite a lot of the songs are really long, some of them drag on a bit. Overall around 8/10

its fine, short, limited songs, cool chords punk things. favorite songs: some other time, second and third last ones overall around: 6/10

Was worried it was more mid 70s rock and roll. Its really cool, grooves are on point. Political message is quite well integrated. There is not really anything bad, other than the short length. Favorite songs: Marcus Garvey, Slavery Days, The invasion, Tradition, Jordan river. Overall around 8/10

love the beats, not just the Kanye ones tho. He's a really good rapper as well, really no downsides at all, a near perfect rap album. Favorite songs: the intro, Love is, The live one with Kanye. Overall around 8/10

I really like the orchestral elements of this, some of it reminds me on Johnny Cash a bit. I also like the imagery/storytelling aspect of the words. Downsides are that all (but the last) songs are really short, and I think that a lot could be much better if they were longer/had more development, because I think it really works in the last one. Favorite songs: Love's enough, Oh, California!, Another Friday night and the last one. (also last one has some Joe Hisashi-esque elements which I really like) Overall around 7/10
