First song is amazing, great start to the album. Percussion has been very groovy at the beginning of the album as is the bass line on "o my god." Kinda hate "mother." Miss Gradenko is interesting... Very much enjoyed Synch2. Paints a great picture in song of a really depressing existence. Every breath is creepy but it is a good single. King of pain thumbs up. Wrapped around your finger is great, love the synth. Tea in the Sahara is a great soundscape for the desert. Love murder by numbers. They're as easy to learn as your ABC's! I think this one deserves a solid 4.

Blister in the sun is quite the hit and it is a great song. I was impressed at the tense feelings in "add it up." The rest of the album is aight, but "Gone Daddy Gone" is one track that really pulls me back in because of the sick xylo solo and driving beat. "Ugly" is just fun and I want to play it to someone as an insult.

I might not love every song on this album, but I adore how forward the bass is mixed as well as the exciting energy of the rock ballad style here. I've discovered a handful of really good songs here I've never heard and ending on seven seas of rhye just makes it better. This is a solid four out of five.

Rockin memorable opening with whole Lotta love, bringing it back down a bit with what is and what should never be, squeezin the lemon, Heartbreakers which I can never hear without living loving maid afterwards, rambling on, bonham's masterpiece and slaying the white whale, and then we bring it on home. Five stars automatically, probably one of my favorite zeppelin albums of all time

I enjoyed this album very much and I heard a sound that I'm not quite familiar with. Love the rawness in vocals and guitar on quote a few of the tracks.

Personally, I didn't enjoy this album as much as previous entries. It definitely does not deserve a bad score, however. I can recognize impressive guitar work when it comes around. A new vocal style for sure, but not certain I'd go back and listen to the entire album again. Maybe a couple tracks.

Excellent album. The title track is amazing but I just love Ian Anderson's flute in Jethro Tull.

Automatic five star album. Every single song is worth listening to here. Relatable themes of life, love, loss, and more set to amazing music. Every song works at a surface level but there is something deeper in the lyrics. I don't know how Billy did it, but I'm glad he did.

I do love some jangly blues guitar and im surely a sucker for organ. Love the beginnings of protest music from Country Joe. Album is good except the end song leaves me tired.

The whole time I was listening to this album I kept switching between thinking, "Interesting, I kinda like it" and "What the fuck this is just noise." 3/5

There must be one selection of every genre in this album. It's much weirder than the famous singles would lead you to believe. I had fun with it overall. Good listening

A short album, but a very enjoyable one. Throughout the record it sounds like Louis and the band are having fun recording these crazy songs and I had fun listening to them.

This album is thankfully short, but unfortunately not short enough. I don't see how this is an album I HAD to listen to before I died because it made me feel psychotic while listening to it. Would not recommend.

Really good album and ends on a helluva note with 'Hallowed Be Thy Name.' I'm always surprised by the lung capacity on Bruce Dickinson.

Not a good album in my opinion. There's too much electronic chaos happening and not enough music. Maybe two tracks worth listening to with "You and Whose Army" and "Life in a Glasshouse." Other than that, not really worth the time of listening.

Despite a three star rating, there are some incredible tracks in this album. You can tell these songs came from a very intelligent and talented person who has been influenced by just about every single genre in existence.
