Not bad, but not really my thing. Kinda went downhill after the first track (pun fully intended).

One of my best friends in high school had "I Believe in a Thing Called Love" as the first track on a mix cd and that has absolutely colored my opinion of this album. But it's fucking fantastic even besides that.

Going with the original International Edition track list, not the later releases with progressively more and more extra songs.
Couple bangers (Steel Claw goes hard) but overall it's too 80s pop for me. Always liked her (and her and Ike's) R&B stuff a lot better.
The Who

Not bad, but not really my thing. Kinda went downhill after the first track (pun fully intended).

I've listened to Rum, Sodomy, and the Lash straight through more times than I could count, but I think this is the first time I've done it for this one. It's great, but doesn't quite reach the level of its predecessor.
(Also damn if Sentimental Johnny by Flogging Molly isn't a straight ripoff of Fiesta)

I have an indelible memory of Candyman playing in the barbershop at boot camp when I got my first haircut there.
Some good songs but also what feels like a lot of filler. Didn't need to be over an hour.
Bee Gees

So I knew that the Bee Gees started out as a rock band before moving into disco. I did not know that the transition apparently included whatever the fuck this is, but it's good.

Also, "I'm in your life, I might be in your wife" is a fantastic line.
