Not a fan of the intro to this album. AnnaLisa was also a chaotic song with no direction. The guitar is fantastic of course but so is all the rock/prog instrumental in this late 70s era. And after listening to the outro this is a 4/10 album. Just don’t like the vocals and the themes. There’s no direction but the instrumental is pretty good

Yeah that’s some good shit. Not my favorite album of his but definitely solid. 8/10

Mmmfgh. Not my favorite album of his and it’s a little repetitive thematically but damn it’s so good. 9/10

Despite the deserved hate this is a pretty good album. Consistent themes, great instrumentals and vocals. Some songs were ehhhh but others felt like Jeff Buckley. 7.5/10

Not their best album by a long shot. Frankly generic almost to the point of Disney-level corniness. Maybe I just don’t know enough rock/metal history to judge this album’s place in time. Enter Sandman and The Unforgiven are my favorites from this one, but most of the rest sounds the same. 6.5/10

Enjoyed the progression of this album. Some parts were nothing special but they still contributed to the story. 8/10

Solid foundations and some good songs. The whole composition was boring however. Clearly his first album given the shaky vocals. 6.5/10

If geometry dash was a crappy game they’d use this album for music. Just funky enough for a bland UK audience. This was an embarrassing listen in the daytime. Some of the tracks were alright, probably better on drugs. 3/10

Cool instrumentals but bland vocals. Some songs are unique and have energy but many were the same monotonous slur of words. 6.5/10

Coolio. Crack rock to pyramids is great. Still a lot of fluff in this one compared to Blonde. 8/10

I’m a fan of all things Monk so this is not a subjective review. 9/10

Never realized how good the sax is for this group. Sades voice is so smooth but some of the songs are poorly composed. Particularly the last one on this album was awful. 6.5/10

Such a banger album. Each song works together but is also unique so it doesn’t feel repetitive. Only detraction is I don’t always like Fagens vocals. 9/10

7/10. Legendary setlist but also really annoying at points

I quite like the cure but this wasn’t their best by far. 6/10

Tried to give it the benefit of the doubt and it disappointed me at every turn. 2/10

Simple and thoughtful. 8/10

Biased review because I had already loved this album. The progression of emotion is perfect, his voice is unique and trained, the composition of each song is solid. I’ll admit there’s a little filler. 9.5/10

Surprisingly short but no complaints. Beautiful voice from this era. The mixing was ok for a live album. 9/10

Idk why Morrissey started barking in the second to last song. Liked the general vibe but disliked the more experimental songs. 7/10

Just not my type of rock. Feels bland and corporate. “One” was pretty good. The instrumentals are just too flat overall. it’s like if Coldplay had bad production. 2/10

Being assigned this right after Ozzy died is wild. The birth of metal rock right here. Whole thing sounds like it was composed in a graveyard. 8/10

So smooth and cool. Beautiful but got a little tired of some vocals. 9/10
