One of those albums where I didn't know what to expect when starting but within moments exclaimed, "oh it's *this* song" from the title track. All blues progressions, lots of quality tracks I think a beginner could play along with but would take additional effort to master. The final song of Comin' Home Baby is surprising with how different it is while still belonging on the album. It is more open and allows itself to meander away from the standard I VI, I V VI I chord progression, ending with a fade out that leaves it almost unresolved. Overall, good album

Pretty good album, it took several songs to get used to it but overall a memorable prog rock entry I hadn't listened to before. Notable tracks that stood out to me were Asylum for the stage show feeling presentation, Rudy had elements that felt ahead of its time, and the title track felt like something I should hear on the radio more but don't. I enjoyed it, but I don't know if it will be in my constant rotation.

An unavoidable classic for someone who grew up in the 2000s. It is surprising how many double tracks there are in the album, I am curious to figure out why they felt having 9 songs on the track list with 4 being 2 songs in 1 was important for the discography. Ultimately great pop punk

Solid album. Listening with headphones was a little harder because of the panning of instruments to a single ear (drums exclusively on the right, guitar exclusively on the left, etc.) but on speakers it won't be an issue. It is a good recording detail to seat you in the middle of the whole group, but it is jarring for the whole album to be set that way. Song standout for me was Runaway Child, Running Wild. A nine minute and thirty seven second track, pretty long in an era of singles and hit chases, while being a striking warning to not take what you have for granted by illustrating runaway regret. The usage of wailing was chilling and impactful, it'll leave a stronger impression than the majority of love songs on the album.

A very smooth, easy going sound throughout

My schedule didn't let me listen to this as much as I should have, but I appreciated the raw emotions throughout. It is on my list for a re-listen to better immerse myself

It took me a full listen to understand the tone the group wanted. I kept expecting something closer to a Radiohead/Deftones, but the mood stayed pretty consistent throughout. I didn't connect with it too much, but it wasn't bad in the background

Good Album. I have heard the singles before but I hadn't listened to tracks like Scentless Apprentice before. It was supposedly the only song not written by Cobain, so all the decisions like a chromatic crawl upwards during the verses was really surprising. I'll certainly revisit it at a later day

Not bad, but not really to my taste. I didn't realize I initially was listening to the double album of both English and French versions, but the French version was my preference. I think it is the same effect as watching a sub vs dub, where when you aren't picking up small surprising bits of audio you didn't expect, you will smooth over any imperfections because you don't notice them. A solid background album for the right audience.

Really cool album, though it was hard to find a full listing through official videos. It blended a lot of samples into the house genre in a way that was likely novel for its 1989 release, where it doesn't feel as standard as most house music I have listened to. Loads of fun

I only listened through once, I usually have the time for multiple listens for a better opinion. However I did enjoy everything I heard, so I appreciate this album a lot
