Interesting to hear some "later" Elvis that I was not familiar with. The music was a bit more gritty. My son said it reminded him of Johnny Cash.

I had heard many songs from this album, but in other versions. I was surprised and impressed by the more experimental aspects, particularly the sampling, synths, and chamber music accompaniments.

I know this album is a classic of its genre. The instrumentals/beats are fire, but for me it's very hard to listen to a whole album with so much profanity and misogyny.

I knew of Cream but mostly just as the band that Eric Clapton was in. Sunshine of Your Love was the tune I recognized, and the album is full of catchy licks. I was pleasantly surprised by the quirkiness of some of the tunes, like We're Going Wrong and Mother's Lament.

There are of course the gems on this album that most people know, like Eleanor Rigby. But the whole album has really interesting arrangements and instrumentation, with the use of the sitar, electronic effects, and refreshing harmonies and meter changes. Great album!
