I can see the appeal, something a little too English for me

Some great songs at the start, a little too much The Wall/Irish Jig on the back end

Reminded me that Prog Rock does not do it for me

Nice, can see why it was popular.

Enjoyed it more than I thought: knew the hits (Pump it Up, Radio) but entire album was kind of satisfying.

Never got better

Cool song, nice drum solo . . . oh, the drum solo is still going

Still prefer Oasis:)

Great, but even better live: Machine Gun!

Delightful to hear all the potential, and her joy at singing.

a little too much shift to folk in the second half

Seems good, but not for me

Tambourine Man>Ma (I'm only Bleeding)>Gates of Eden>It's All Over Now, Baby Blue. That's one side of two albums he recorded in 1965 (Highway 61)

Great sounds, songs could be better

Softer than I remember, sounded good.

So quick, so tight, so good. Lost Someone is the peak: the crowd is in to it!

Sludgy sound, probably better if you were there

Stan and his fly, WTF? Good first half of psychedelia, not sure the second half attempt at a concept landed

Two Blur albums in 1001 is maybe a little too much

Nice work, Banksy! The songs are a little different but also work together: good album

Sounds so fresh, so clean

Good, bluesy rock. But a little repetitive.

Songs better heard in a playlist, a little too much harmonizing song after song

Good stuff as always, but doesn't quite capture the live sound

Well played, pushing Sabbath the day after Ozzy died. Recency bias in play, but this is a terrific album . . . would love to know the thought behind Electric Caravan, a jazzy five minute interlude between three of the most famous metal songs (War Pigs/Paranoid/Iron Man)

Very good: consistent sound, sounds like an album

I get it: he's very good . . . but it's just too much like a musical for me

Solid: cool sound and meaningful interludes (not Solange's fault that, by comparison, I was at the Cowboy Carter show yesterday)

Cool to hear all these songs together

Not my favorite: already heard the best songs on radio lots of times.

It's groovy and all, more interesting as a historical artifact than an album I will return to.

Obviously very good, but that 60s London Blues gets a little repetitive

Quick & Breezy

Love the band, not my favorite album of theirs: more interesting as an "early" album

I get it, it's good. But not for me. Nice bass playing

Meh: some good songs, some filler, probably made them a lot of money

I liked it: short, focused, a groove.

So, only one Neil Young album gets a perfect five. But this is very good: turn on Neil Young, watch Inherent Vice, read Vineland, mourn the 60s

I know some people love it (I see you Allison Russell, and the other two people who chose their One by Willie from this album), but it's not my favorite.

Too slow, too sad.

So good, can an album be too personal?

Somehow, I never got into them listening to individual songs on the John Peel show. But this is good.

Played the Greatest Hits to death (literally, the tape broke) . . . and never heard song #2 until Jane's/Ice-T performed at Lollapalooza. What a weird album, in the best sense.

I admire Cale for being kicked out of the VU because he wanted to be less commercial (than, say Heroin?!?). But this is like listening to Wings knowing that McCartney wanted to do better than the Beatles

Best songs are great, others keep the vibe going

Interesting experience: do I just think some songs are better than other because I've heard. Good album

It's the Talking Heads. Fine, not for me.

Huh, made me realize I know about Zappa, but I don't know his music that well. Groovy guitars are more grounded in familiar pop song formats than I realized. Some of the songs & lyrics are embarrassingly current almost 60 years later (e.g. "Trouble Every Day")

Great funk, the bass, the guitar, the keyboard!

I can see the appeal, something a little too English for me

You can see why adolescent girls whose parents were listening to Glenn Miller might have been really, really interested in this band.

A pleasant surprise, I know a few hits but had never listened to a full album. Coherent sound, good groove, nice album!

Good stuff: not my personal favorite of theirs, but still solid

Great album, hearing Who Shot Ya? on the remaster is tough knowing what is to come for him and Tupac

Surprised at how many musical theater moments there are in this album: not what I think about when I think Grizzly Bear

The US is boring!! And so's London!

Great stuff, didn't realize it was kind of a theme album

I forgot how much I liked this album: exuberance! Not to go full Pitchfork, but there's not really a great song or three that makes this a 5-star album. Still, a terrific listen.

Hmm, I like it: solid mid-70s R&B. But there's no standout song, it's more of a vibe.

Quantity over quality: every GBV album sounds like a set of unfinished demos to me.

Good, more upbeat than his image and story suggests

Learned to teach, drove around the DMV the summer of 2001, listened to this CD: saw the future. For me, it might be the perfect album.

Good stuff, some classics. Wasn't until the extended album track Can I Get a Witness that I was able to name the attempt to bring a white voice to these songs.

Some great songs, this is the 70s album I remember: we need to fill out both sides of the album because 33s are profitable

Wu-Tang, Wu-Tang . . . Wu-Tang Ain't Nuthing ta F'Wit

Kinda better than I remembered: thought of them as one-hit wonder wannabe De La Soul.

Not the best Velvet album, but hey its the VU!

So, so good: and fuck the Rolling Stones for taking all the profits.
