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.
How have I never listened to Kate Bush till now? Her music is weird but really good. It has a Little Shop of Horrors feel at times.
I’ve listened to this album hundreds of times and always love it. Amazing sounds, rhythms, lyrics.
Total 70s rock
Some of the instrumental songs are enjoyable
Most of it sounds pretty forgettable, though that synthesizer or whatever is pretty distinctinve.
Sounds like it's made by serious musicians, even if some of it is whimsical.
I really liked this album and listened to it twice in a row. Very interesting, funny, strange, and enjoyable.
Probably an ignorant take but it sounds like boring reggae to me, nothing remarkable
If I were going to listen to reggae, this is not the album I would pick.
I thought I’d love this album, and some of the songs are their biggest hits. But the stuff between songs felt random and it seemed like the album was a bit of a patchwork.
I loved this album—it was weird and punky and funny. Funny I’d never heard of the band before.
Great album—classic blues, nice mix of live and studio.
This album has a few of the best CS songs, and several that are pretty forgettable. I don’t know why it is but as much as I’ve always loved Cat Steven’s I can’t listen to that much of him.
Glad to have learned about this guy—some songs I really enjoyed, others were more meh.
Weird Music from the Hearts of Space stuff—seems like early New Age music, and very enamored of electronic capabilities. Sounds like an arcade.
So bad … the cheap synth with fake bird sounds. Good lord. No one would listen to this except as a piece of history.
I did not enjoy this music at all. Couldn’t even get through the double album. It all sounded the same, and not that interesting, just loud
To me this is the pinnacle of the Beatles’ music. It listens almost like a greatest hits album.
Not bad but reggae is just not my thing.
Oh my word what is this…. It’s also hard to find anything about the album or the musical group. Although the more I listen to it, the more I can appreciate it, especially if I imagine listening to it outdoors.
It sounds like DS are still learning who DS is, and MK is still finding his voice. But the sound is there, and "Sultans of Swing" is as good as any of their songs.
Not as good as some of her albums that came after but very strong
I honestly don’t get what’s special or noteworthy about this album.
I can’t decipher this album. I don’t love the music and the lyrics seem somewhat absurd.
I really like some REM songs—Strange Currencies, Losing My Religion—but this seems to be REM and Michael Stipe at their most annoying, including “End of the World as We Know It.” I did like “The One I Love.”
