All Mod Cons
The JamLove the Jam. Down in the Tube Station feels like late 70s London. Its like punk, but with the edges sanded down, but in a good way.

So excited to see this album pop up.I’ve loved most of the songs on this record for years, but I never sat down and listened to it as one piece of music. What a Marvelous experience. A nearly perfect record, and definitely on my top ten.
Great album. This would get 5 stars, but there are a couple better Talking Heads records, so I have to make a little room.
The first six songs on this record are a real murderer's row, and this is easily one of the best albums of the 90s. It's easy to forget how incredible they sounded in 1991, now that they've been imitated by decades of bands with less talent.
I haven’t listened to a lot of Black Sabbath. I know the hits. Listening to the whole album was a pleasantly surprising experience.
I love the Smiths, but I've never really been able to love Meat is Murder. Headmaster Ritual is great, but the rest of the album was a let down. There was one exception, however; Andy Rourke's playing thoughout the record was inspired. I don't think I'd really noticed the bass part much in other Smiths songs, but I was consistently blown away by Rourke on Meat is Murder.
It’s performed well enough, but it sounds like the forgettable adult contemporary that was all over the place in the 80s and early 90s.
The record is fine. Nothing that I think I’ll ever listen to again.
Albums like this are why I started doing 1001 Albums. I never would have picked this up on my own, but I’m so glad I did.
I love this album.
I generally like Leonard Cohen, but beyond Suzanne, this album didn't really do anything for me.
Surprisingly good. I particularly enjoyed the cover of Just my Imagination.
Lovely record. Carlos Santana is one of my favorites guitarists, and the percussion on this album is fantastic.
What a great album. I had no idea this band even existed, but they’re a new favorite.
Great album. Completely filled with favorites.
Great album. A real departure from his usual work at the time. All of Me is a stand out.
