This is not for me, this genre of rock never really interested me beyond having some knowledge of the occasional singles that played on the radio.
In my opinion I’m honestly not sure I would call this an essential album and I don’t think I will ever listen to it again.
Good album, nice songs
Great album, love Sioux’s vocals
Great first half with a good second half
Spellbound, Arabian Nights, Sin in my Heart, and Night Shift are some of the stand out tracks…Voodoo Dolly is a fantastic closer to the album
This has too be someone trolling, there is no way this is something that you should give any of your dedicated music listening time to
It’s terrible…never heard it before and will never listen to this again.
From what I read about the history of the making of this album it looks like Garfunkel dodged a bullet here.
Good album, not my favorite or the one of their best in my opinion…it’s great to listen to while driving in the car.
Nice album, I don’t know what head singing about but it doesn’t matter because band is great.
I don’t get it
Just generic R&B
First song is good
A real slog to get through at an hour plus
It’s fine for what it is, nothing I will need to revisit again
This album is a nice contrast to Psychocandy. A lot less fuzz and noise and somewhat more subtle
April Skies, Happy When it Rains,Down on Me and Fall are some favorites for me
What an amazing voice, most of these songs are great
Beautiful, I need to listen to this more frequently
Great live performance and nice complement to the Live at Folsom album,but the original album is lacking due to editing it down to fit on a single vinyl LP at the time. Wanted Man, Wreck of the Old 97 and Starkville City Jail with Johnny’s banter are some of the highlights…cutting off Folsom Prison halfway through the song at the very end was not great.
This would’ve been five stars if I was listening to the remastered fully restored cut of this performance. Which I highly recommend after listening to the original
This is mostly pretty boring, I mildly liked two songs off this…one them because it was under 2 minutes and had a more industrial sound the other I’ve already almost forgotten about.
Great singles, stronger second half, some fun songs, second James Brown cover on the album and Bo Diddley’s- I’m a Man -come across as trying too hard to impersonate the artists rather than doing an original interpretation of these songs.
Solid debut
Pleasantly surprised how much I liked this album. More variety than I was expecting, the studio banter between songs was great.
Definitely too long at over 2 hours but I finished it unlike some albums on this list that we under an hour.
Not bad, I was concerned when I saw the multiple 9+ minute run time of these songs but there was enough variety and wasn’t just jam band indulgence…some cool spacey stuff going on here.
Fantastic album, almost everything here is great. Tracks Neighborhood#3(power out), Rebellion(lies) and Wake Up are standout singles
A couple of classic metal songs, 9 minute instrumental could have been cut from this album because it goes nowhere…I honestly feel half these songs could been trimmed possibly by at least 2-3 minutes
I can appreciate that this isn’t generic R&B and hip hop but it’s not something I see myself returning too
This is amazing from start to finish
One of the best live albums I’ve ever listened too
The very enthusiastic orgasmic screaming coming from the audience really adds to the atmosphere of a performance that just rocks
Mostly mmkkkkk by iii Ill
Essential
I liked 2 songs on this album:
Breaking up Slowly(duet with Nikki Lane)
Not all who wander are lost
The album as a whole is pretty predictable and kind of pretentious
Great album with some of their best songs in their catalog, only a few fillers but otherwise a solid album
This takes me back
The opening track is amazing and sets the stage for the rest.
Also great live
Some really pretty songs here, I wish there were a couple of more uptempo songs to balance out the mostly slower paced ballads of the album.
The Pain of Loving You, Wildflowers, and Those Memories of You were favorites for me
3 1/2 stars
One of Reed’s best in my opinion.
Mick Ronson’s contributions and David Bowie as producer make this an essential album.
One of the best albums of the alternative rock genre. Amazing from start to finish
5 stars for each side =10 stars
It’s background music and I’ll leave it at that
She’s got a really nice voice, but songs themselves come across a bit dull and generic to me.
Nothing really stands out and it’s not something I think I will return to.
I don’t understand, why is this on the list?
This was super boring and a waste of 45 minutes. I had never heard of them before and I understand why. Very boring D grade Brit pop…there’s so many better albums from this time that deserve your attention.
