I was never too enthusiastic about The Beatles, always just liked a few songs of them and that's it. However, I could not look my guitar teacher from my youth in the eyes, should I randomly encounter him in the supermarket tomorrow, if I didn't give this album less than 4 stars. So there you go! That being said, Tell Me Why and especially Can't Buy Me Love are some real bangers.

What a good time. That is all.

You always have to appreciate when an artist manages to cover a wide variety of styles in a collection of pieces without it getting jarring. This album is all over the place and chaotic in a really good way.

Gorgeous voice and instrumentation.

Nice work!

I don't gel too well with the irish folk punk fusion. That being said the album makes an adequate delivery.

So here's a little display of a very basic, simple physical law: "Miles Davis appears, I rate 5 stars." Very 'cool' music. I'd almost call it... cool jazz. First thing that came to mind, there couldn't possibly be any further implication here! And of course also: Mad respect to all the other composers and original performers of this masterpiece.

Music history right here. I'm personally not too interested in blues generally speaking but I will absolutely not deny this artist's significance and influence to the genre and countless artists beyond. This is the crème de la crème if you're looking for authentic blues.

Gorgeous music and vocal interpretation. I feel like I went wrong somewhere in life for not having known Lemper up until now.

I don't care much for the biker vibe but the rather diverse operatic style more than makes up for it. Great work.

I mean, sure. I think in terms of raw sound design we can consider this a pretty impressive achievement for its time. It's a very interesting experiment in that sense and in my opinion we have to appreciate it for that. I did enjoy Theme 4 and the final, self titled track, mainly because they stepped into a heavy contrast to the rest of the album which is where my personal resonance with this album ends. It's too repetitive, especially the percussion. I don't like that but that's okay. It's what the genre does and it shouldn't stop doing that at its core. It's mainly the genre that I'm not interested in. As for the album concept, I'm not too sure what to say. I'm not gonna go ahead and dispute that claim because if a concept was established by the artist then it is established, regardless of what the listener's opinion on that is. I will however say that the tracks seem to structurally noodle about a lot, adding or removing samples on a whim, let them play out for arbitrary durations and blur the passage of time in such a way that it makes it hard to recognize whether you just recognized a theme or whether your brain is gaslighting itself into believing that because an element has been beaten into it for the past 4 minutes without interruption. It's simply not intriguing to me but I believe if this was 'composed' a little bit more than 'produced' we could have gotten something seriously great here. 2 stars for the good outliers. 1 star otherwise

Very intriguing. It won't cease to blindside you with an odd genre fusional instrumental twist and I'm all here for it.

The Cure always gets 5 stars. Band name checks out. This album in particular is minimalistic in nature and highly effective. Thank you for the music.
