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.

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

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.

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