Glad to finally listen to the full album. Lesser known songs are better than the (overplayed?) hits.

I admit I may have missed the boat on this one but can’t get into it now.

Every song sounding the same had me looking forward to the ad breaks. Made me think of Johnny Cash “The Man Comes Around” but pales in comparison in every metric. That album I have listened to over and over, this one I struggled through the whole thing. Give it a miss.

Mercifully short and thank god I had my dog to play with while listening. Certainly other people’s cup of tea but definitely not mine.

So much better than the jazz and crooner nonsense of the last albums. Straight ahead folk/ rock in the vein of Neil Young but a lesser version. Bobo Neil Young.

Perfectly pleasant and innocuous pop music. Nothing challenging but nice to hear some of the less played songs. Particularly the title track.

One of the albums and songs that I can still remember the exact first time I heard it. I hadn’t listened to the whole album in a while and am pleasantly surprised how it holds up.

Ugh, noodling jazz at is most noodling.

I can’t say I was ever a MJ fan. I find most of the hits tired and overplayed by this point. Overall fine for background music but not something I would put on just to listen to.

I don’t know why but I was hoping for a big revelation on this album. Unfortunately to me it just sounded like an early U2. Not bad but I won’t be revisiting it.

Not my favorite style of rap but can clearly see( hear) the how this album influenced the genre. Probably not an album I would revisit but also did not dislike the experience.

I’ve always heard about the Smiths but have never actually listened to any of them. I can see returning to the Smiths in the future.

I could take or leave the first few songs but by the time I hit the last song I was hooked. Halfway through the final song I got a message that a long time client who I had just negotiated a release from jail had died. He was 61, homeless and a lifelong alcoholic. How fitting.

Just as good as the first time I heard it. I can listen to the whole thing through and be happy with every song.

Easy to listen too, like a familiar piece of cozy clothing. First song is the most interesting and best.

Lots of songs, hooks and beats I recognize. It obviously has had an impact on music going forward but even though I enjoy the ones that took from this I don’t see revisiting it. I was interested to hear the variations in song style while still all remaining a cohesive album.
