Most of these songs have been waaaay overplayed over the years, but listening to it as an 'album' for first time in years, it again shows why it was a bit of a groundbreaker for the late 80's and a template for the dirty/grittiness to come.
Pleasantly suprised as I had never listened to the album w/ the single “ Lust for Life” on it. Iggy showing much more range than I thought he had

Hadn’t heard this album before, only the opening song. Overall solid but extended last song (hidden track) was below average. The last song was actually top notch!!
Talented individual but album just isn’t my cup of tea
Nostalgic listening time! One of the first cassettes I ever owned, and the album as a whole, still doesn’t disappoint. Obviously Legs, Sharp Dressed Man and Gimme All Your Lovin , were all over the radio and MTV but all the other songs on the album are bangers in their own way!
Epic , but even more epic listening to it for its epicness. Every song interwoven together to tell a story about Syd Barrett
Another never before listened to album (just heard a smattering of the songs over the years) but I was pleasantly suprised how it kept me captivated throughout
Such a classic album. First time truely listening to it straight through and it did not disappoint . ‘Clampdown’ and ‘Dead and Glory’ are bangers.
Solid, cohesive album. Became a huge fan of ‘Funeral’, Neon Bible’s predecessor but for some reason never fully listened to this album till now. Need a couple more listens but think I’ll be a huge fan in the future …
Crunchy grooves, toe tapping rhythms, very eclectic, but that’s Beck! A fun listen and very impressed!
It’s good for what it is, time filler with some catchiness. Some solid cuts but meanders a bit.
Sold riff rock - much needed palette cleanser 🤟
Good album for listening on the porch, watching sunset, drinking some pop
An album that could be playing in background of a poker game. Solid for what it is, but just not up my alley…
Odd, electic, but after reading up on them, understood the direction a bit more..
Brings me back to the turn-of-the-century where guitar rock made a good comeback. Some classics on this and some ones that I haven’t really listened to for a long time. Muy solid
One of the few albums fro start to finish that never loses its edge. Texas hot blues for days!
Some hold decent funky, bass slapin, beboppin’ at the start of album. The last half was a disaster of early ‘80s cliche synth
Good ol rock a twangy , with down to earth lyrics and funny banter throughout. Enjoyed!
Pavement is one of those ‘90s bands that should have been bigger and have been underrated . Great ‘90s indie album
Another solid album, though not in my wheelhouse, was an enjoyable listen
The beginnings of the 70’s Glam rock scene.. Weird song titles, a bit spacey but some damn good strong riffs in many of the songs.
Haven’t ever fully listened to this album all the way through. Can’t believe they have been around since ‘81! Enjoyable listen though feel I need a bit more time with it.
No it as good as Live at Folsom Prison. Some good songs, but a lot of chit-chat
It was fine for what it was
Planting the seeds for industrial rock. A bit chaotic but had some interesting tunes.
Some dredging post pink with some new wave thrown in. More of a Pop sound by EC with some biting lyrics .
Not someone I was familiar with but was impressed with the tunes and singing
El letic and melodic. Definitely was suprised how much I enjoyed this 22 song collection.
I’ve definitely been missing out by not listening to this album over the years. The roots of alt rock taking hold here. Minnesota is underrated for the musicians that come out of there
Always thought ELO was a ‘peppy Pink Floyd’ . Melodic and atmospheric at times though some some of the chorus’ sounded like disco unfortunately
