This one surprised me; It's one of those albums that never seemed to fit what I was into at the time. I finally listened to this on my way through Illinois as I traveled back to Tennessee and was drawn in immediately. It feels like a musical or a soundtrack , in all that it cover,but the vocals and arrangements are spot on throughout. It made me want to move back even more than I did at that point.

The album that first introduced me to Adele. I've heard her songs countless times, even tried to sing to a few, but I usually can only go a little bit before I want to switch. She's overall just not for me musically. That said this album reminded me that she is a powerhouse. Her songs are strong on this and only a couple didn't hit for me, I'll Be Waiting and her cover of Lovesong. That

It's weird listening to an album as regarded as this for the first time completely so far past when it has come out. It's cheating in that you can already hear how it impacted artists after that; you can hear those who wanted to be Kim Deal, those who had just as much angst in them as comes out in this record. Each song is so unique, and some are accessible (Here Comes Your Man, Debaser) and some are not as much (Dead, Silver). Still knowing what I know now, this is an album I want to keep revisiting to see what reveals itself over repeat listens

I remember listening to this a few years ago, when I was really discovering Black Sabbath, and loving the album then. At that point, I gravitated to Supernaut ( after hearing the 1000 Homo DJs cover first) and Changes. This time, with my aged ears, I listened again and love different songs on top of those two mentioned. Wheels of Confusion/The Straightener and Snowblind, and Cornucopia as well all perk my ears. I'll be revisiting this one again, along with other Sabbath albums
