Gives me flashbacks of the mid and late 00s, in clubs in Tokyo and Rhode Island. Not all of the memories it brings up are pleasant ones, though I suppose I have the music to thank for making me sort through them again.

Better than I thought it would be but I still had to listen to it in shifts. The memory of the songs of theirs that I really like... Hazy Shade of Winter, Cecilia, Sound of Silence, 56th St Bridge Song... propelled me through, and I do like their vocal harmonies, but I think this is one band where I can honestly say I like their greatest hits, and not much else. Respect them? yes.

Liked the deep cuts more than the singles, though that could also be because of over-saturation. I think this one is winding up in my regular playlist.

I remember liking this as a teenager and being fascinated with the videos, but I rediscovered it again as a young sailor in the 90s, a year or so before Bat Out of Hell II came out. It's nice re-rediscovering it again and falling into the uber-dramatic lyrics.

Oh man… why didn’t anyone tell me that “Living For the City” was such a banger? (Okay, I might not have listened…) And the chord progression and piano melody lines in “Misstra Know It All” are amazing. I already knew how good “Higher Ground” was, but I definitely didn’t know that was not the best song on the album.

Not bad. I still think I prefer trip hop but this is worlds better than the albums on either side of it. I wish they’d kept on going in this direction. It definitely belongs on a list of great sophomore albums.

Pretty decent. I knew the first song of course, and I remember reading about "CTA-102" in Carl Sagan's discussion of the discovery of that pulsar, but the rest was new to me, and better than I had expected. I'd probably give it 3½ stars, but I decided to round up.

Innovative and well-made, but it just wasn't terribly exciting. I could use this as background music but not for intentional listening. It reminds me of the difference between Moby's *18* and *Play.* *18* is not bad at all, but it doesn't make me drop everything and pay attention like *Play* does. [LATER] On the other hand, I couldn't shut it off, either. I carried my phone around until the last notes of "Pray Up, Stay Up" played. Maybe I liked it more than I initially thought.

Starts strong, and I found at least one or two songs that I probably wouldn't turn off if they came on. Otherwise, the album just didn't do much for me... though as depressed and negative as I was as a teenager, I'm sure I would have LOVED it then.

#10, and the second one that I own. The first half (ESPECIALLY "Fountain and Fairfax') is still more powerful than the second, but I'd also forgotten how much I like "My Curse" and the last song. Great listening to this again.
