The Pleasure Principle
Gary NumanBeeps, boops, synths, somehow both before and ahead of it’s time.

Nihilism, numbness, and Beach Boys. Wall’s good.
Sonically impressive and captivating, but not my jam.
A-side was a jam-and-a-half, was a whole vibe. B-side left me less enthusiastic.
Not really for me. Black Hole Sun will always be great, but all of the other songs just sound the same to me.
Have never actually listened to Queen’s catalog other than the hits. This was fun, different sound than I expected. You can hear where their sound went, mixed with like… I don’t know, Zeppelin influence? That’s probably a naïve take, but it was new to me. Neat stuff.
Had to do research to understand why this was included, which doesn’t feel like a great sign to me. Maybe just having a hard time appreciating the historical significance.
Just a fun album. Good sounds. You can see why the Beatles liked him.
I didn’t mind the backing tracks. But this was a hard listen.
This was the only CD I had in my car for a year during high school. Great memories of this album. Top 50 for me, probably.
Solid vibes. I don’t think I see myself listening to this all the time, but I’d definitely put it on the speakers while cleaning or doing something around the house
Meh
Fun when you realize certain hits all come from the same albums. Enjoyed this more than I thought I would
Decent enough
Didn’t love it, didn’t hate it. Thought I’d like it a bit more than I did
Had more fun with this one than anticipated
This feels like one of those albums that probably spoke to something in the youths pretty well at the time, but just didn’t age out of the time well. The music itself is whatever and the lyrics are a bit too specifically “I’m in my early 20s in the 1970s, and this is my life”
No strong feelings. Not bad, not my fav
This one feels hard to rate. The opening and closing tracks are two of the best songs of all time. But everything in between is way too country bluesy for me. I just don’t like that kind of sound.
Not their best not their worst
This was kind of a fun little gem! New to me, though I was familiar with a few of the songs. Dig.
:)
Classics
One of the greatest of all time.
