Not too long for a single sitting. Good, and a hip-hop classic but found it overwhelming in the end.

Stuart Maconie said "You can here where he gives up half way through side 4..." And he's absolutely right. 3.5 sides of masterpieces and then trash. Side r open with As and I suggest that's where you stop listening.

Teenage folk classic. More than a few memories of youth group parties attached to these songs

LCD Soundsystem are always amazing.

Fabulously weird mix of chilled vibes.

I didn't get the Mekons at the time and now, listening with a more mature ear, I still don't. Seems like The Emperor's New Clothes to me.

Fundamental moment in music

Some great songs but has not fared well with the passage of time.

Saw them headline the NME stage at V Festival on promoting this album. It was interesting and I bought the album on the back of it but it was about the shortest headline set I've ever seen. They only had this album to draw on. The album is mid with Molly's Chamber being a stand out.

What was once revolutionary now sounds like a poor collection of blues covers.

Era defining hip-hop.

Fill of memories of teenage parties (I was so cool!)

It's great but it's far too long

Feels like it was recorded in real time. Absolutely top tier punk rock.

One of the greatest bands of all time. Sandy Denny's voice was beautiful. Such a sad loss.

I can see it's quality but not a style of hip-hop I enjoyed

Just felt like the songs that weren't good enough for the Byrds repackaged 10years too late.

10/5 album. Provoked a million discussions about what the songs meant in the VI Form common room.

Sounds the same from start to finish.

I thought this was an awful "jazz lite" record in 1984... It is. Suffered it in a million student flats and it is just banal.

5 stars if you're 15, but only 2 if you're over 16

Not to my taste but interesting.

Absolutely will not listen to this racist piece of shit.

Cheesy as possible. Pretty much everything that is wrong with Rick music, America, men, and the world is what makes up the record... But it still makes your toes tap.
