Listened to this a lot as a teen, Haiti was on several mixes. Some dated sound choices, but the anthems are undeniable.

Distinctly remember getting this one from a friend 10 CDs for a penny ad, haven’t listened to GD voluntarily in a long while. I liked how the bass and drums sounded together, particularly on Paradise.

Lotta bops, couldn’t help but nod along with pure pop goodness. The subject matter Fernando, Hawaii, seem a notch off kilter and put through a Swedish filter. So good

Still get goosebumps during her Bobby Magee vocal scat performance. Cry baby rips. Brief brilliant rock album

The experimentation, the classic rock the country, the bar band all mix together to make an album that’s sounds fresh still today

Not quite my style, I like a few tracks like Venus as a boy. I think it’s the industrial and more sparse sound that I bump against

I think this is an incredible album, great guitar sound, anthemic songs, crystal clear production. I was surprised as U2 has been such a omnipresent band, I had my guard up about this album.

Some very interesting tracks on this one, I heard The Strokes guitar sound, and a lot of other bands this album influenced. The more modern/avant garde originals are really good. The other bluesie ones launched many-a “dad blues rock” ships that are still sailing today.

Full wall of sound, cool droning, with lilting almost yearning sound queues. Though I didn’t understand the lyrics, I got the meaning through the sound.

Masterpiece, could not help but funk dance on the train from Oslo to Ålesund
