It took a lot of lifting to get past the mechanical 80s sheen, but there was some good music in here once we got past the colour-by-numbers love songs :) Wouldn't willingly listen again, but it was fine!

Nice and cosy trumpet things - I like the sounds and the feeling of the music and it made me happy so it gets five.

Ruddy excellent! :)

I like trains.

Very pretty and syrupy - I got quite bored and was politely waiting for it to end. Very competent musically, arranged well, lyrics were good. Just didn't do it for me, I don't know if I'd like the same music more with less overproduction, but It wasn't for me. I'll give it a two, as three stars usually is "I get why it's here, it didn't tickle me, might come back to it", and this veers a little south of that into "actively avoid in future"

I know in my heart some of these songs aren't essential to hear, but damn it, 5* it is! :) It's Johnny Cash, an important gig and he crushes it, I can't give it 4! :)

I think this might be the first funk album I feel I've clicked with! :) Political, interesting, not overproduced... yep I like this a lot!

Honestly not sure if I like this one more than the Parsley Sage album, both were great!

Oh no I might have to listen to them both again... what a shame that would be! :)

Definitely one of the albums of all time. It's by far the most recent I've heard, and of all the albums, it's definitely one of them.

(It did not do anything for me I'm afraid lol)

Utterly unexpected, had no idea that this was who it is, and love it to bits! Thank you 1001 :)

Okay, this was a great surprise - I heard the initial drums and went "oh good another 80s album"... and by the end said to myself holy cow that was actually really really good! :) I know some people are really die-hard fans and I can get why, really good songwriting and a heck of a voice too! :) Happy times to be a me. :)

I think 4 is fair - even Bowie doing things I'm not crazily into is still interesting! :) Not sure it was "vital" like Blackstar, Heroes, Ziggy Stardust etc, but I can see why someone might disagree (I liked it)! :)

It was okay!

I quite liked this - it might be something I come back to and get obsessed with. Listening 50 odd years on, I feel that the music holds up, and some songs had a lot to say. :)

Fun! I loved how it felt like a jam session at times!

Wowee! :)

This was chaotic and fun! it got a bit repetitive, but I enjoyed it :)

Really unique album :)

A few standout great songs - I forgot I love all down the line! :) It just felt very unfocused and bloated?

Some flickers of interesting stuff, and solid musically. Glad I've heard it, but probably not one I'll go back to
