Only one listen so this is probably unfair, but it's not really my era of music and the extremely melodic rock washed over me somewhat, though I know from older peers that they hold this in very high esteem. I think this washes over those who were born after it was released who are more influenced by post punk music.

Not a hardship to listen to this one as it's only a few days that I did in "normal" l know that PJ was not happy with this one as the sound was too slick and mainstream for her, but the songs are so strong and the overall mood so cohesive, that it's power and brilliance is impossible to deny. In my favourite three albums of hers with Rid Of Me and Let England Shake.

Despite my brother having played me his vinyl years ago and trying it myself more recently through streaming, this album hadn't connected with me beyond the great title song and Fame. Today listening to it on a journey home from long weekend away in Scarborough for my 50th birthday I enjoyed it more, even if still have some reservations on the qualify of a few songs and his singing on them, they're a little loose and lacking in his normal precision and form. Still further to go with this one I think!

I'm starting to get the feeling this is going to be hard work. I'm sure this is great for people who like this kind of rock, I'm really not keen unfortunately. There's great songs on there but I find it tedious and tiring.

I do like some Willie but this is too smooth and easy for me atm, I prefer his self penned songs with an edge

Apart from the spoken introductions for the performers, this is great stuff. I probably didn't experience it as per the original release but more the expanded modern edition.
