Never was as into them as other similar efforts. I think this was just a bit too arch but not bad. I enjoyed a good bit of it.

Somehow I've heard this whole album before...or maybe it's that it has a motif. Either way I wasn't an enormous fan despite my love of new romantic stuff. This just felt a bit repetitive and twee.

Proto punk ish stuff that felt kinda like sloppy hippy stuff and didn't really grab me in either direction.

Fantastic punk album.

The band never really clicks for me. Certainly talented and has its place but I can't seem to engage with it.

It was punk and glam in the wrong ways. I did not care for it so much. Not bad. Not good.

Had some solid songs on it.

I like the few songs of theirs I know. It just never occurred to me to go check them out further. I actually really enjoyed this album abd it's further weirdness.

Had a ton of fun classics if a few too many remixes I was particularly thrilled to wade through.

I always thought of Alice Cooper as the dark, chews the head off of face bats fella. This was a lot more glammy than I was expecting. I won't say it was bad per se but I didn't find myself moved by it in a meaningful way.

Pretty raw recording. I do dislike that on its face and I do like outsider music but this droned on on spots. Pretty similar to pere ubu in some ways. I didn't hate it but I likely won't engage with it again.

This was a really great album with only a few draggy tracks which, for a snarky techno album, is saying something. It was clever and well-produced. I'll definitely listen to it again.

I'm not a folk person but some of the traditional ballads are compelling micro stories and my attention certainly perked up.

Alternative songs were often said to be sung in the key of "AR" as a method of describing the swallowed and growly approach to vocalizing some bands took at the time (STP, AIC, et al.).

I don't know what key Kings of Leon sing in but it runs me wrong somehow? Too arch?

Decent album but no dummy.

I was never a Beatle's guy. Not to say that they aren't brilliant upon occasion or that I don't love several of their songs but I never listen to them by choice. 20% strength Beatles is much the same for me.

My brother is a huge fan of Wilco and this album in general. It's an album that has some real high spots but some parts of it are kind of bland by comparison. Not bad just not as memorable as the peaks.

Weird as fuck and parts of it I loved. Parts not so much? It's all over the place so some of the work really hit home. Kind of a jazzy Mr. bungle

It's a solid album from a great soul singer. I feel like it's a bit of a worn road for me. Aside from that it's a-ok.

This didn't really make an impression on me.
