A few decent songs but most of them felt too long and fairly uninspired, like someone was throwing a party for themselves and I just happened to be there. Maybe it would seem better with multiple listens—I love the songs I've heard a ton (1999 & Little Red Corvette).
Some great tunes, some that feel more meh, a real product of its times, a snapshot of 1971. I enjoyed listening even though it's not "my kind of music."
Almost unlistenable
I like a lot of Radio Head but this was painful, what I was able to get through.
It felt more interesting than good.
I couldn't even finish it.
I really enjoyed this album and was glad to discover what the VU was really like. Great sounds, with the exception of the Murder song which is weird and punishingly long. Interesting Jesus song. This is an album I will probably come back to and explore other VU albums.
Great first song, blues, fun and easy to listen to
Second song, messagy, not something I'd want to listen to more than once
Third song, sweet, smooth
Lots to enjoy on this album. Some of it seems driven by making cultural statements while other songs feel more driven by the music.
Very nice sound, kind of like WRTI plays in the after dinner hours, somewhere between lively and mellow
I will listen to this album again, some really nice grooves on here. HM is obviously a trumpeter but there's great percussion and piano here too.
About what I expected from Bjork -- eerie instrumentation, strange haunting lyrics, very deliberate pronunciation of e-ver-y syl-la-ble. I wouldn't listen to this album again most likely, unless I had taken something trippy.
I could be wrong but a lot of this sounds atonal, and melancholy. Weird instrumentation, lots of what sounds like xylophone, droning something or other. Long songs. Would this album be on the list if TB hadn't died so young?
l love this album, Beatles at their best, so many echoic songs, and the whole thing hangs together as a true album.
Great songs on this album, even the ones I hadn't heard before, and the familiar ones are some of his best. I didn't realize how bluesy some of his music was. Some of the rhymes seem a bit forced (pocket/hock it) but whatever.
Really annoying and gimmicky how the music keeps slowing down for transitions
Sounds like the Beach Boys but not as good
Really basic
I do not understand the rave reviews for this album. Were they sympathy votes for BW??
This is so recycled—Good Vibrations? These were good songs when they came out but not again in 2004.
