Album was a surprise. Last 2 tracks hit hard for me. A complete album with enough variance in style. Way more fun than I anticipated.
Listened to the Bowie mix. Grew on me over time. Latter half of the album much more appealing. I don't expect to relisten to this album multiple times, but I really appreciate it for what it is.
Been over 10 years since I've listened to this album. Wondered quite a bit how much Father John Misty has been influenced by it. It's so atmospheric and enjoyable to listen to.
Nice collection of songs. Doesn't capture me like a Beatles album would but interesting to get some unfiltered Lennon.
Audio is incredible. For a live recording I can't understand how an album can sound this good from its time. The banter between the songs is worth the listen alone.
Brutal listen. Had to take a break halfway through. Wanted this album when I was 10, glad I didn't purchase it. Musically and lyrically impressive, but I never want to go through that again.
Something very much outside my usual taste profile. I struggle with the idea that this is one of the "greatest albums of all time." Beautiful voice, but this just rings like 90's coffeehouse music.
Fun. Instrumentals are worth the listen alone. Familiar with the hits but not the full album. Don't think I'll return to it, but again, fun.
Kind of interesting how the tone shifts from song to song. Some tracks with sci-fi atmospheric vibes, others afro Caribbean, but everything is fun and somehow flows together well. Listened to the extended version which has live songs as well which are enjoyable. Don't think there was a single song that dragged, an excellent album.
The production value is pretty incredible. Delicate but wonderfully layered. Love the strings and the background vocals. An easy 35 minute listen. Not my music, but I can appreciate it for what it is.
A perfect album. I loved every minute of this. The balls they had to open with the first son, astounding! The way the vocals play off with each other, the organ sound in the background. It's so soulful and unique. Can see how this influenced so many bands to come.
Much preferred to the Arena rock they become later. A fun album with a distinct sound. "Soft" a standout track. Would give it 3.5 stars if I could.
Enjoyed this album quite a bit. I think there's an alternate universe where I picked up these albums in my younger years and became a pixies fan. Listening now in 2025, I'm impressed with how this albums stands the test of time.
Wild how many hits are on this one. I'm a sucker for the tracks with harmonized vocals. Came away liking the lesser known tracks. I get the hype but don't expect to return to it.
