Like a dish that's got loads of great ingredients cooked at the wrong temperature, disappointingly slow, smug and thin-sounding in places, I should like Moby, but I don't. During the first half, I wanted to listen to better ambient music, actively bored. Some great samples of better music. Warmed to the album as it came became an ambient album proper in the second half.

Traditional rock and roll made me want to swing dance again (other than Devil in her heart, which is a fun salsa segue). Guitar occasionally takes it up a notch. I imagine it would have been great live and a bit looser. I wanna be your man is the highlight.

I loved every track on this on first listen. Another listen diminished it slightly but still a very high 4.

Great fun, an organ solo! A couple of excellent tracks, didn't have the depth to score higher though. High 3

Really liked this, chilled out hip hop, some nice base, bit of sax. Would put this on when I'm working and need to focus.

I found challenging to key into; I needed to step into listening as the first track progressed—moments of an almost estuary thom yorke. Interesting use of drone, experimental jazz was something you'd need to be in the mood for but I think I was today. Strong 3

There are great tracks on this album but I found a the transitions jarring. A glam rock power house start gives way to a a-tonal song that I'm not sure has an end. Then what follows is a fun series of rock/folk/punk tracks that I'm not sure count as any thing more than high fidelity experiments. 3 stand out tracks. I'd have kept the three good tracks and the finale and kept working. Blue Orchid, My Doorbell and The Denial Twist plus I'm Lonley as it's a solid answer to a question that wasn't quite asked.

I'm an 80s child who likes funk, saxophones, jazz, and spoken word, so this seemed very accessible. I'd happily have this on in the background. Occationally some of the lyricism/rhyme I think suffers from time passed on slower tracks, it's hard to unimagine the 35 years between then and now that telegraph what probably once sounded punchy. More uptempo tracks feel tighter/fresher. That said Princess of the Possee was great. Remixes didn't add anything imo.

Lost my original notes! Great riffs, strong beat, lots to love here. Loved the tracks as they came up, and noted a good few as they came up. I enjoyed the listen but in hind sight nothing moved me emotionally. High 3

I liked having listened to first half of this, like an immersive sound bath with all the layers of texture, some nice base and saxophone in places, lots of interesting percussion. I just can't imagine this being something you listen to all the time. The second was nice enough but nothing of note.

There is so much variation in guitar styles out of the gate all, exquisite. Then bam, Dazed and Confused, the drums, the bass, the guitar, the vocals... the little call-and-answers underneath are just lovely. The blues standards that could have just been filler they really added something to! Also just really nicely recorded and remastered.

Beautiful clean vocals a solid synth-pop album. I think if I didn't know the work on either side, I would like this even more. I want to listen to this more, though.

There are a good few excellent tracks on this where he's being vulnerable, his voice is beautiful and the lyrics are strong. Some good album tracks. Then a few where the lyrics come across as angry teenage attempts at profound political insight. Overall the tracks that already know well I enjoyed but I wouldn't rush to listen to the whole album again.

This album came out when I was 16; a lot of people at school loved it; I the contrarian, therefore thought it was naff. My assumption was going into this listen that nostalgia would override my anti-Ibiza alcopop snobbery... this didn't really play out. I liked a lot of what was going on: Build it Up, Tear It Down and Soul Surfing are great. Love Island is an absolute banger. There are loads of great samples and layering, but it's also crass and a bit lightweight in places; the big hit singles can stay at the foam parties with the WKD.

Clean pared back folk, a great listen from start to finish

Liked the rap, and the music, but the sung vocals took me away from wanting to listen to it more. Not so keen on the pet shop boys style bits.

It's very pretty, but I don't feel like I get it. Still nice tracks though "I know there's an answer" was good. I'm missing something.

Accomplished, lots to love!

What a voice! The more produced tracks with Mark Ronson are certainly punchier but the rawness on the other tracks is still great. I love the mix of jazz, big band, two tone and pop.

Catching up on yesterday's... I used to listen to a lot of punk and ska. This was great fun but I pretty much like anything with this style of drumming 🤣

Some stuff I loved, some weaker bits. Would listen again, made me want to discover more Rush.

My review of this is very influenced by the fact that I originally listened to this over two days. I'd had to break my listen yesterday afternoon so listened to the last 3 tracks this morning. My experience was so different I ended up going back and having a second listen. First time through Liam's vocal style and stretched vowels dominated, not always grating but overpowering. Second time the music came to the front, the guitar and percussion uncovered. Both times Supersonic and Cigarettes and Alcohol stood out, Married with Children was also a nice finish, I'd have liked to have more of that.

I listened to this album quite a bit as a teen. Funky laid back hip hop with some nice trumpets and bass lines. Where there are heavy guitars I don't think they add anything, "Scooby snacks" and the very chill "I Can't get with that" were highlights for me. I don't think when I first heard this I'd have really known "we have all the time in the world" except maybe from bond so all I can think is were they trying to bring it to a new audience in a time where music was less accessible... either way it's not a great cover and didn't add anything. Towards the end of the album it drops off but it still stands up in the main.

It's just a great album from start to finish.

Not my thing, I get there's talent but I think even this more nuanced or intelligent gangster rap still fundamentally is situated in a hyper masculine point of view that I'm never going to connect with. 2

I think this is great, psychedelic and melodic. 4 for me!

So zen, I would happily have this on while doing things. Nice tracks a few little highlights, really liked the little fishes, very evocative.

I like this, it's great fun, humorous, camp, over-the-top drama. Drums are brilliant and the guitars are all excellent, this music is meant to be belted, by air guitar-wielding nerds worshipping at the feet of a 20ft tall papier mache zombie. I love the rhythm of 22 Acacia Avenue, a bouncy moshable tune. The number of the beast and Run to the Hills are genre-defining. British heavy metal doesn't need to be taken seriously just let the amped up proggy lines take you on a joy ride. 4/5

I liked it! The jazz drums are great, I liked the guitar lines, and the harmonica was beautiful. Yes, it was slow, but considered and controlled.

Not for me, occational moments I liked. But also... there was a tuba and I couldn't get over it being Randy Newman's voice.
