After the very first song on the album I said "Well, this is gonna be an interesting ride." And boy was that the best word to describe this album. Interesting. I loved the dark tone the album had, especially in the song Sour Times, but as the album went on after song 5, I felt it got weaker and weaker. Overall a pretty good album.
Favorite song: Strangers

Not really much to say. In my opinion, if someone were to ask me the definition of a mid album, this may be one of the first to come to mind. Didn't hate it, as it has my favorite David Bowie song, but most, I just couldn't get into. If I could I'd give it a 2.5.
Favorite Songs: Sledgehammer, Big Time
Least Favorite: We Do What We're Told

Not the biggest fan of the vocalists voice, but it does work with the album. That's about it though as far as the good. It sounds the same. All 14 records minus maybe Blitzkrieg Bop are practically identical.
Favorite song: Blitzkrieg Bop

This. Album. Blew. Not much to say other then that. Started off okay I guess, and just went downhill from there. Would've had a 2, but that last song just ruined everything.

I loved this album. I loved the fun sound it had, how catchy most of the songs were, and of course, Mr. Blue Sky. Only reason it doesn't get a 5, is for it being a little longer then I'd prefer, but it was worth the hour and ten most of the time.

I came in with not so high expectations, and the album honestly surprised me. This album is timeless. Still holds up today. The harmonica is a bit much at times, but overall, a solid album. 3.5 for me

I will give this album a lot of credit for popularizing that signature 90s rap cadence. As far as how popular the album is itself, its not very big. It did however pave the way for a lot of big 90s rap groups like Mobb Deep (my favorite) with this sort of style. This was one of the first to do it so it gets its flowers for it. I liked their flow, but the beat selection was a bit too 90s for me. There were some really good songs on this album, and I am personally a fan of the simple, yet effective cadence. Solid 3.75 for me.
Favorite Songs: Step in the Arena, Execution Of A Chump, Beyond Comprehension, Take A Rest
Least Favorite: What You Want This Time?

I'm happy this album was short. I'm happy it was short because of how bad I wanted it to end. The vocals were annoying, and everything was very repetitive. I did like some of the heavy bass lines, especially at the beginning of the first song, so it gets some pity points for that. This album gets a "The Next Day" by David Bowie out of 5.

At times it was fun, but definitely nothing I'd put on myself. That's all I got.

This album was good. It brings back childhood times of getting in the car with my grandma, as she has the 60's on 6 channel playing. The singers voice is good as well, but I'd have to be in a certain mood to listen to something like this.
