I truely believe it’s a metal masterpiece and an excellent depiction of its era. However, listening to it in 2025 I can’t help but think it’s theatre rock- it could and should be a Broadway musical. High energy and extremely animated. A good way to start the day, adds 2.5x speed to whatever you’re doing.

Can appreciate the complexity of the arrangements but his voice just depresses me in a way that I don’t want to be.

Okay

Purely rated on personal preference, it’s hard to be objective because I don’t enjoy the style of music. It’s very unique and an interesting listen.

It’s a good background album to have on maybe at work. It’s not overly enthralling nor offensive. It’s almost a blend of surf rock, groove and pop. I can see a small subset of bands sitting in this genre, non of which I’ve listened to since I was young.

I’m sure it’s a great album for the genre but It’s not for me

And epic addition to the hip hop category, bringing an instrumental flavour relatively unheard from the south. I like it a lot

I’ve honestly never listened to Prince in length, and I’m only sorry I didn’t sooner. I thought the album was an an education on how pop should be done. Untwined funk and soul- it was brilliant.

I really like this album, it reminded me of mashup between Alice in chains, audio space and a twist of country. An Easy listening album, nothing too polar about it.

Not many things better than blues is there?

It didn’t blow my mind. It was a nice album to listen to but it didn’t evoke anything from within me

Amazing album

Was pretty nice actually.

A bit too scratchy and high for me personally but a wonderful album, not listened to anything similar- super unique

Not for me.

I’m realising pretty quick that I’m not a Bowie fan, I know that’s a criminal offense- so I do apologise. Thankyou for the opportunity to listen however.

It really was a great pleasure to listen to this album, I enjoyed it alot. Peak 90s

Fun album, excellent for the 70s too

It wasn’t as outstanding as some of the other albums I’ve listened to, not to say it wasn’t good, just by comparison- was lacking a bit

It was nice but it didn’t blow my mind in the way that other albums did.

Really makes me feel better about my karaoke game. Really not for me this one, hard for my ears to swallow.

Was pretty good but not as iconic (for me) as something like the Ramones. Different styles I know but can’t give everyone high marks

Even if you don’t like him, the album was significant wasn’t it.

What a great album! I didn’t realise how many songs I (first) knew, and (second) liked! It had an excellent range of tracks and tempos and thoroughly enjoyed it! Thankyou so much!

Pretty good. Can’t argue

You want to hate it but it’s almost a guilty pleaser. Outside of linking park, they’re the peak of nu metal- a mash of hip hop, scratching, metal by angry young men rejected by too many women. A Peak 2000s album that crossed from a sub-genre to mainstream.

It was a pleasant listen, a good album for a spectrum of ages I’d say. Wasn’t as genre defining as some of the albums I’ve listened to

It didn’t blow me away. Johnny cash had more of a profound impact on me.

Pretty iconic. Raspy voice, instantly know who it is and what they’re about.

Personal preference, nothing to do with the greatness of the album

Thick sticky aural jam. I throughly enjoyed this album- and I don’t expect to.
