This was an interesting album that I had not previously considered. It was ambient and moody with some traces of Sgt Pepper, Bowie/Eno Low. It also reminded me of Nick Cave/Warren Ellis scores (or visa/versa). I would listen again!
Great cover artwork and interesting listen. Not as heavy as I had imagined and story telling not overly dominated by guitars. Surprised.
Classic Michael Jackson, only suprise was that there were a couple of unfamiliar tracks. The album must have started many careers!
I haven't listened to Arcade Fire much, although I did see them live at a festival. I like the music and I think that the album requires/deserves a lot more listening.
My first listen to a Beastie Boys album, and much as expected from the radio play singles. I think that this material as a set would be great in a live, possibly festival setting but back to back songs on an album were just a bit too much BB for me.
The title says it all. Really liked this album. The sound is great and the lyrics require more that a single listen and some thought. Great to see them back playing at Glastonbury 25 (on TV only). Need to seem them live!
Long album, very much the 70's sound. Inspiration for Eagles, Doobie Brothers, Fleetwood Mac. I was more into UK music, Bowie and Roxy, so it really passed me by.
What do you do after being in one of the best duos ever? Record a brilliant album, and better to come. One of the greats.
Probably the first LP that I ever listened to. Iconic with brilliant stand-out songs. Satisfied customer.
A couple of stand out tracks but little else emerged for me, as an album.
Didn't know any of the songs before I listened but I really like the sound and the mood. An album I would definitely like to revisit again.
I can appreciate that other story tellers may have been influenced by this material but this was not really my style of music.
I like the Smiths more retrospectively. This may not be their best album but still sounds good on a sunny afternoon.
A classic single, but the rest of the album while pleasant, easy-listening is not memorable for me. Probably better as a live act.
This was a good suprise. I knew some of the tunes that I hadn't expected to. I enjoyed the laid back vibe.
Classic album. Long moody tracks and a little bit self-indulgent, but enough great moments for core and more general fans.
Interesting and sometimes overwhelming guitar sound, but I'm sure that's the aim. Reminded me of Iggy Pop in parts. I'm sure there is a cult following.
Laid back and cool. Transports the listener to old american movies. Never listened to this style of music but feel really calm for doing so.
I like Billy Bragg and he continues the great tradition of story telling and support for causes. However, overall I prefer he music in smaller portions.
Slipknot are loud, raucous and moody, This record pushed the heavy metal genre and has merit among fans. I know people who love this, but my appreciation would be restricted to live performance or perhaps halloween for the mood.
