Intentionally weird. Annoying vocals. Didn't like them then. Still don't.
+1 for groundbreaking.
+1 for nostalgia bangers.
It was fine.
Pretty boring overall, and as an album it was disjointed and carries a lot of skippable tracks.
Not his best album, and that says more about his best albums than it does this album.
As a musical, it's not good. As an album, it's really bad.
Thematically solid.
Boring.
I enjoy industrial metal and found this album mostly boring, as I did when it was released in the boom of that genre.
Never heard anything besides Pet Sounds. I was pretty blown away to hear the direct influence on bands like The Pixies and Weezer. Really great album, prompts me to listen to their entire catalog.
Never heard of him, but recognized a few songs. Bizarre album.
Intentionally weird. Annoying vocals. Didn't like them then. Still don't.
Kind of a run of the mill late 80s album.
Pretty pedestrian punk album. +1 for trailblazing.
An album that is more important than it is good. +1 for exposure of a talent like Ali Farka Touré. Some songs are just jams with too much space, and too long by half. Others are great. Most are saturated in the 90s obsession with chorus effects on guitar. He has better albums.
Mostly good. It pushes boundaries without being experimental. The songwriting still remains familiar and accessible for the time period, and I can hear its influence on bands I grew up with in the following decade. For a 10 song album that runs an hour. There's too many duds. But I do want to hear more from their catalog and will do so for the songs that were really good.
