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.
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
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
Been waiting for a Stones album on this album project. Have really only listened to one of their albums fully (Steel Wheels) over the years so happy to get to dive into one. Overall, not disappointed , honky Tonk blues were on display throughout . A big listen (for one day) and probably still needs to be revisited.
Pretty much what I thought it would be. Some decent driving tunes, but a little intense overall
Marvin knew how to get it on. Smoooooooth
Some good ol polished and produced 80’s metal. All (or most) of the songs were seemingly hits. It was an enjoyable listen
Such a great late ‘80s album. Represented the college alt movement perfectly. Have been a late adopter so learning this decades after the fact
Always has been a solid album all around though has been years since listening to it.
Meh
So good, so many hits yet flows like an album should . 🤟
Gave it a good ol try. Just wasn’t feelin’ it..
So raw, can hear the start of what would be ‘London Calling’ in a few years . Outstanding !
Well, it was loud! Grooves were good, lyrics not so much
I enjoyed this, even though PJH looks a bit like Justine Bateman …
Cooooler than the other side of the pillow. ‘All Blues’ was 🔥🔥
Real solid ‘90s BritPop album. Had a bit of everything…
Fine album, not great, not bad. Long AF.
Did not need another PJH within the week… BUT 50ft Queenie and Yuri-G were quite bangers.
Such an easy listening, early thoughts indie/dance album. Every song is practically a hit.
Not sure what to say. Was a solid Britpop album, both great, not bad 🤷♂️
Such a shot in the arm. Was late to The Cult, started with Sonic Temple and worked backwards. So many punchy, catchy rock riffs from Billy and Ian’s Sonic vocals matched perfectly. Did not get bogged down from the late ‘80s cheesiness.
Respect
Not sure if this is one of the albums “you have to listen to before you die..” or “albums that will make you die” They should though charge per letter used in their song titles.
Could have been worse…allegedly
Great album from the 1st decade of the 2000’s. ‘Hoodoo’ I probably could have done without but bangers like Starlight, Assassin and Knights of Cyndonia more than make up for it.
Some good tunes. Meandered at times but overall a very solid listening experience
Doom n gloom. Album before they they went a bit more “happier”
Another British synth pop album….k….
Brilliant and epic. Was a late comer to it but still strong after all these years
Not their best, but some good ol OG glam with big guitars, big drums and soaring vocals. Justin Hawkins has some raaaaaange, though on the album seem to live in the high vocal register for a bit more than I like
This was nice…and folksy….and nice and folksy . Solid playing
Hadn’t listened to this one in a while. Always gravited towards ‘White Blood Cells’ and Elephant but this one, though deviated from those, still was solid in its own right.
Had heard good thinks about MA..Just didn’t feel it. Not bad but just meh IMO
Johnny Marr is great Morrissey is not
Kind of droned on to me. Last song was best
Solid for what it is, though not what was needed today.
Top notch Stones. Somehow never fully listened to this all the way through as an album over the years. Was a pleasant experience.
Very interesting and had some solid grooves
Album that was a bit more thematic than previous and one step closer to Pet Sounds - RIP Brian Wilson
Such a strong debut and a very enjoyable listening experience for the day. Chrissie Hynde is such a bad ass rock star! Need to listen to them much more than I do.
If I was into Dance/Electronica, it seems this would be a goto album. But alas, it isn’t my cup of tea but respect their work/following
Album had its moments. Showed the talents of S&G though as always, like them in small bites.
Fun and unique….for a bit
What did I just listen to?
Some decent tunes, not bad. Feel I need to be drinking whisky on a lake.
Take the band names and about 5 of the songs that have been played 4.8 billion times out, and it’s a solid hard rock album. Rack the name on, it’s divisive as hell. ‘Holier than Thou’ though is an underrated banger
This was listenable, not bad. Nothing stood out, but didn’t suck 👍
Not bad, not bad at all..
The Queen of Soul on display! Had heard some of these songs before but not all
Kids probably read these so I’ll just keep it to ‘It was not good’
Man, I really enjoyed this. A little punk, a little blues , all raw excellence 👊
Good ol synth pop. Interesting but not exciting. Definitely no ‘West End Girls’
A nostalgic kick ass early ‘90s Depexhe Mode
Meh
It was a privilege and an honor to Karen to the album.
Some decent memorable tunes. Couldn’t listen to all 2 hrs of it though.
Some early aught hits , not too bad
I mean, what can you say, an album that launched 2112 legends !!🤟
Took me a few years to “get” this album. Enjoyable complexity though have to be in mood for York’s vocals at times
Not my favorite U2 album , has a couple of radio hits but ‘Like a Song’ is an underrated banger
Caught my ear for a bit. Didn’t hate it
Hits, hits and more hits. Hell of a collection of songs.
One of my fav albums from the ‘00s
A groovy collection of psychedelic rock. One of the best of this genre
Doctor - “only take a small dosage of Björk or you will break out in warts and hives”
Just couldn’t get through all the songs. Don’t judge. …
Some decent cuts and beats but got old after a bit
Had heard good things about Roxy Music. It’s all lies!!
Solid, peppy OG cuts
Great Prog album but probably not best choice for a “one off” challenge. Needs a handful of listens to fully digest
Cool for what it was. Had a great song name
Da fuq is a FKA twigs?
Solid, not their best, but a harbinger of things to come!
Prototypical ‘70s double live album. Solid songs, handful of radio hits. Not something I really go to but still a good album
Isn't my cup of tea but it’s kind of catchy
Riff monster - “ Laughing , Satan spreads his wings..” Rest easy Ozzy
Catchy with some solid tunes
Early ‘aughts classic
Very talented singer/songwriter. Some solid songs here
Had never listened to this as an album, only songs. Strong tunes and production.
Quintessential live Thin Lizzy.. Tight, crisp two guitar attack . #RIPPhilLynott
Pure ‘80s and pure Tina
Had t heard of them but was very suprised. Some great tunes on this
Brilliance personified!
Very talented individual, some decent tunes
