Rated 8/10

Fantastic album

Rated 6/10

This is good, but I like there other stuff more.

Rated 4/10

About halfway through, this album is super boring. It's pretty much been the same song for the whole first side. It continues through the second half as well. I mean it's got some great guitar work, and great sounding guitars, but it's just not engaging at all. Pretty sure the drummer played one beat the entire album. It is super atmospheric, all the reviews saying to play it during a rainstorm or while driving through the woods are spot on. But that doesn't mean I would want to play this again. Even if it was raining or if I was driving through the woods. I was happy when it was over. 2/5

Rated 6/10

Als Hintergrundmusik war es in Ordnung. Das Album scheint ja eher heavy zu sein, da müsste man nun mehr auf die Lyrics achten um es besser bewerten zu können ggf.
So, aber 3 Sterne für mich.

Rated 4/10

I’m with drugs in this one.

Rated 8/10

Very nice but the songs are a bit long.

Standout tracks: Under The Pressure, Red Eyes

Rated 4/10

Instantly forgettable - not bad by any stretch but not something I am ever going to listen again, or recognise if it plays.

Rated 10/10

I might be biased but..

This album was on my former "sleeping playlist", which I heard in excess of 300 times.
Had to hear it on vinyl.... and a few times during the day.

So happy this album is on this list. It's just great throughout.

Rated 6/10

I’m such a big fan of albums with constant 6+ mins songs compared to just loads of 2min songs

Rated 8/10

I guess it's good but it's kind of boring. Like I wouldn't listen to this on my own. I'm not gonna complain about listening to it at all. Just a tad long and generic.

Rated 4/10

Snoozefest

Rated 6/10

Meh. Too jam-band-y for me.

Rated 10/10

Very very enjoyable vibesy music! Really enjoyed this one

Rated 6/10

A few good moments, general vibe was ok, nothing that will change the world. Sounded like a lot of other similar equally generic bands from the last few years though.

Rated 10/10

Understated atmospheric and melancholy with exactly the right vocal effects perfect for the voice. A masterpeice.

Rated 2/10

I don’t like the fucking Eagles.

Rated 6/10

Hey, who gave Bruce Springsteen all the heroin?

Rated 4/10

I've always found this band to be very MOR. It's like they were specifically designed for boomers who are in the "why dont they make REAL music anymore" camp. Being influenced by Bob Dylan, Springsteen, Tom Petty, etc is fine and all, but I'd question whether this is original enough to be included in this book. "Burning", for ex, is way too reminiscent of Dancing in the Dark. The first two songs are quite good though, and the production is great. Just unoriginal and very repetitive.

Rated 8/10

I never listened to this, other than Red Eyes, when it was new. Sleepy at times, but overall pretty solid. Very clear Springsteen influence.
