This review is heavily influenced by nostalgia from a very long road trip that involved a limited number of cassettes. This album being one of the best options. I listened to this album MANY times that trip and I don’t think I’ve listened to it since. Great album and memories. Water if love was always my fav on this album.

I saw Fever Ray in 2010 when she was touring with this album - it was quite the show. She is certainly different but also somewhat hypnotic. I like this album quite a bit but still I’m not sure I would seek it out again - so 3 stars

I’m giving it a 2 because I like the creativity and some of the songs are pretty fun to listen to. A key factor weighing into my rating is that I have seen them live before and they were horrible. The worst show I’ve ever seen. No melodies were played - it was just people making sounds on instruments. It was intentional… and it was not pleasant. So this album also far surpassed my expectations going in lol

I wanted to like this album but it wasn’t totally my jam. Initially I was going to give it 2 stars but it started to grow on me so I rated it a 3. Also taking into consideration their contributions to music and modern sound.

First songs I have recognized this far! The singles from this album are really great and I would say have stood the test of time. The rest of the album is meh however the vocals are excellent and I know this was a unique sound they helped pioneer.

Judas Priest was not on my bingo card for my commute today BUT I must say solid album. I certainly arrived in a better mood than when I listen to podcasts on current affairs. Rating it a 3 as it’s not my type of music but respect.

Great album - with some very cutting and still relevant social commentary. 3 starts because some songs were meh but overall great hooks, lyrics and super creative.

I had never heard of this band and at first was not into it. However as I got to the later tracks I quite enjoyed it. Doubtful I will listen to it again but there was some good guitar solos and melodies.

George Michael is obviously a pop legend with a great voice and an excellent ability for composing catchy songs. This album seemed quite personal and was enjoyable to listen to but I was missing his biggest hits (aside from freedom). Ultimately not my fav.

Delightful! I listened to this while taking a walk and it felt like my life had the most amazing soundtrack in that moment. The musicianship and complexity of the music was incredible to listen to. A true pleasure.

I was not familiar with this band but it was cool to see how much they have influenced other band I am more familiar with. I could really hear it through several of the songs - notably (for me) was “My New House”.

This album made me want to curl up next to a window to watch the rain, sip on tea and work in a puzzle. A delightful soundtrack to a quiet moment alone. Will remember this famous duo when the occasional arises soon

CCR!!! What’s not to love??!!!? Interesting read about the origins of many of the song lyrics. The lyrics still resonate today and evoke almost universal themes of childhood memories, freedom, strife and longing.

I liked this album and would listen to it again - I especially enjoyed the vocals. Elbow is a band which I’ve been around but have never delved into - I will be checking out other albums.

I enjoyed the hits and a couple of the other songs. Not sure I would throw this album on again. In terms of being a U2 fan - I think I’m a greatest hits fan. Though choice between a 3 and a 4…
