Unusual, although not at the time. Not one of my favourites and prefer the earlier works.

Pure 70s pop, not great and wouldn’t make my top 1000 or 2000 for that.

..very poppy- not for me despite the fact I like electronic sounds

Pop in the best way

Great album with Greta production for the time of its release

Great music, but lyrics - post punk shite

Good debt album. Wasn’t sure when it first came out. Saw them live in Clapham, found them a bit boring. Album has grown on me over the years. Now one of my favourites

Great album, first of I suppose the new wave, that I liked, but that is personal as other than the Cure it was a genre which I enjoyed particularly. Reflects a time when I got back to the 50s and 60s with R&R, blues and proper R&B. But back to the album - heavy and dark, probably a new wave Black Sabbath - probably why I liked it so much. Favourite track -

Pure American pop, prefer him with Garfunkel. Again not sure what this is doing in the top 1000

Great album, best album by Can, needs to be played loud in a darkened room😂

Excellent album from start to end

Two stand out songs obviously, but overall a great album

Enjoyed this, first time of hearing - now part of my ambient collection. Reminded me a bit of Portishead without the vocals.

Interesting album, my first listen. I would imagine they were or are great live.

Overhyped

Not great, Faust and Can did this type of music a lot better than this. It’s a one from me

Not the greatest debut album, hasn’t aged well. Psycho Killer the only stand out track

So many classic tracks on one album - it’s a 5 Star for me

Wasn’t sure at first, but grew on me and went back to listen a second time. Enjoyed it.

Not my bag at all, tried listening to it, but rap and opera are the only two genres I struggle with. It’s a no star for me.

Excellent, blue grass and country . Also an see where harmonies such as the Everley Brothers came from

American soft rock at its worst. One star from me

Game changer when released. Timeless.

Had not heard this before today, loved it. Don’t know why I shied away from VU, but I suppose my taste has become more eclectic as I have got older.

Another 1st listen for me, and have to say this is v good. Hi praise from someone who hated 80s music😂

Wasn’t going to listen to this, but glad I did, really liked it.

Ok ish but not a great album, certainly wouldn’t put it into the top 1000

Like the relaxed tracks, nice summer grooves

Post punk average rock

Makes you see why punk came to the forefront

Liked this on first listen, needs another couple of listens but would give it 3 stars

Great, two albums really, been a long while since I have listened to it in full.

Terrific vocalist as demonstrated on ‘I really don’t want to know’. The other thing I like about this, and a lot of C&W of the time is the great backing musicians that Nashville used in the 50s and 60s before it all got watered down in the70s. No wonder they had their punk period with the Outlaws

My favourite R&LT album
