I never listened to a full rock'n'roll album before, but this was a easy and enjoyable album to listen to. The vocals go really well together with the guitar rythms. Song 7 - Love Hurts was a song i somehow recognized (but not really), turned out this was the first appearance of the later famously covered Nazareth version. Overall the album was not outstanding for me personally, but still quite good.

Excellent

nice guitar solos, but the singing is not my kind of tea

The first four songs are awesome, the funky groove is just amazing. I also love the length of these songs, because i think that vibe really needs the time to fully build up. In the end you want just more of it. The drum solo on the other hand, felt a bit unnecessary for me. 4,5/5

I am not really into singer/songwriter music, but her voice is really good. I also like the topics of her songs, although they are quite serious and not fun at all.

Never listened to industrial music much, but i was surprised how good this sounds. I like the distorted rock music and also the electronic influences really fit good in it. Also the music embraces the overall theme of the album, as in some songs the music does tell parts of the story. The topic of the album is quite brutal and depressing. Reading the wiki first helped me here to understand, that all this part of the concept. Some songs like "Big Man With A Gun" are quite disturbing. That it then ends with the og version of "Hurt" is the cherry on the top. I wanted to give 4 out of 5 stars first, but after thinking a bit longer about it, i am going to give it the full 5 star rating. Very well thought out album!

I liked Airs Moon Safari already before i started with this project, so i was happy to have this album (which i did not know) on the list. There a few really nice songs on it, but as with every soundtrack there are also some songs which only seem to fulfill a purpose for the movie and dont feel right when listening to it just like that.

I know it was a different time back then and it probably is also part of this genre, but can't she sing once about something else than how terrible her husband is?

Great album overall.

I am an electronic music guy, so i was pleased with what first seemed to be a classic house album. Unfortunately it was more R&B and overall quite low energetic, i have the feeling this did not age very well, compared to todays standards.

Really liked this one. The instrumental parts are awesome, i love how they included instruments like the flute for example. The guitar solos could have been a bit longer sometimes, but overall great album.

Very nice instrumentals, loved the long guitar solos and the groovy rythm.

Half of the album sounded quite uninspired and boring, like an interlude. But there were also some nice songs on it, which i liked.

That's a solid 5/5. Every track just perfect!

"Our House" is a cool song, but the rest is really not good imho, the longer i listened to it, the more annoyed i got from it.

Not even 30 days in and already my second Van Halen album. It did not enjoy the self-titled album that much, so i was quite surprised by this one. The instrumentals were again very strong, this time i did also like the vocals.
