Not a metal fan, gave a few songs a listen but did not finish.

Great album, jazzy/funky rock instrumentals. Would listen to again for sure.

The Wall

Pink Floyd

5/5

An all time great and this was a great reason to give it a relisten.

Way better than I expected. Many of the songs were what I remembered being "proto" metal that I'm less interested in, but there was a lot more on the album that I genuinely enjoyed.

An all time great.

There's a reason they call him the GOAT.
