Like, really lovely and stuff. I feel it's very much of the early 2000's which ushered in these kinds of female vocals. Anyway, I think it's just not for me. I think it's popularity at the time has done it a disservice in that it sounds like i'm watching a naff 2000's romcom whereby this is the soundtrack, or in a cafe, or something.

God I just wish I enjoyed listening to Jazz. It's probably a very excellent example of a style of Jazz that I simply don't derive any pleasure from listening to.

I've always liked the odd bit of Sufjan, but yes, this album is very much the muchness and gets samey quite quickly. However, a few songs I really like and it is a product of its time. I'm a sucker for indie folk rock of the mid-00's but this doesn't do much for me really. I don't know, It's fine. 2 seems mean but 3 too generous

Zavid, he's one of my faves, massively influenced my musical interests. However, haven't ever been drawn to this album and it's not my favourite iteration of Bowie. Listening again confirms this, some lovely ones on there but not a no-skips album for me

Judged this prematurely and think I actually really like this. Some songs yes sound like I'm hungover at a festival laying down listening to whatever inane indie-rock band is on but not really paying attention and can't be arsed to scout out other stages. However, truncated then by a lot of songs which are really up my street and I actually love. It does itself a disservice by including a lot of weaker songs, could have been a much tighter album. Alas. Very happy to have discovered this, it'll be in my rotation. Annoyed by the 5 star system as this doesn't quite warrant a 4, but due to my own personal enjoyment I'm giving it a 4.

As the antithesis to a Jazz enthusiast, I can't say this does anything whatsoever for me. Much much more pleasant and preferable to a lot of the proper frenetic brass-y jazz which I actively derive displeasure from, however this seems no different to me than just very capable cocktail lounge music

Haha God what has happened to me, this is the kind of shit I would have HATED a few years ago. But after having been made to listen to so much glitchy electronic ambienty shite these last few years (new partner and his friends) whereby I have gained a real appreciation for well constructed noise, I actually really quite like this and think it's very good. I also feel like Hometime is undeniably lovely, no? Is it Emperor's New Clothes? Have I just been indoctrinated into the world of pretending you like shit music, and over-intellectualising bloops and bleeps? Perhaps. In any case, I can see this album's influence on proceeding electronic music and think it's very listenable and not the total load of rubbish one may immediately think. Feels like I'm at an exhibiton.

Despite my best efforts over the years, and feeling like I really *ought* to like The Kinks, I've always found them unbelievably irritating. Put the sodding kazoo down. I can never shake the palpable arrogance that I can hear coming through the music of Kinks, Beatles et al. However some lovely songs also, so y'know...Swings, Roundabouts.

I've always really liked The Coral, some of their songs I absolutely adore. But they've always appealed to the slightly naff side of my music taste. And in no way is this a *Good* Album. And actually, having always loved Dreaming of You, now that I listen to the whole album, I like Dreaming of You a little less...

I like campy fun glam rock but this ain’t it

I’m not even a huge Adele fan but this is such an accomplished album and also giving extra stars for the amount of American centric reviews without any idea of British cultural/musical influence.

LC is one of my all time faves. Through many pub conversations, I've come to the conclusion that some people just derive more value from lyrics & storytelling, others from musical and technical ability. I'm the former. It's poetry set to music really, this is. THAT BEING SAID Cohen has like, 4-5 albums which are far better, and more enjoyable, and interesting than this one.

I mean it has everything I could ask for. Had never listened to Jennifer before, what a tune. Or the Satellite of Love cover! Ace. Torn between 4 and 5 stars.

Gets quite samey, and I wouldn't opt to listen to this often as I don't find it enjoyable to listen to, but epitome of its genre and does exactly what it says on the tin. Iconic, a smasher, significant part of British musical history.

This album (and Dylan in general) should be everything I ask for in an album/artist but I just simply cannot stand listening to him. I don't think it's even fair for me to rate it. Yes it's excellent, yes he's a great writer, yes how impressive at the age of 21, and yet...

Whilst fun, it's just not my cup of tea at all

Superb album, superb album art, I’ve always liked this one

An audible sigh as I get fed another Jazz album - however - defs my preferred type of Jazz. Fun, relaxing, cheerful, beautiful.
