I love this album but hadn't heard the expanded version.

I wish there was a two and a half. It's odd and short and definitely fun in spots. I just don't care so very much for the folk medieval revival flavor that seeped into everything on that era?

It's just very much its own high-quality weird moment in time and there isn't much like it. It's very good at what it does and it's damned catchy.

Every song had an interesting premise that it failed to really build upon.

The world's first French rapper.

It's a classic prog album that stays a tad too long in spots.

I quite enjoyed this musical series of short stories told by drunk uncle Fagan. It was nice.

Solid instrumental album. I know it's a classic but this kind of thing only does it for me in middling doses.

Really nice introspective album from Björk that was a great listen.

Man I want to give it a 4.5. it has so many amazing songs on it.

Strange album I feel like I should have been aware of but wasn't. Pretty great though.

It's simple and odd and early electronic stuff but it's great background music for getting stuff done around the house on a Sunday as I found out. I enjoyed it as a whole pretty well. I've listen to it prior and I think the latter half of the album is stronger.

Actually, aside from the hits, this album is pretty great. How does that work?

Has a few nice songs on it but is sort of drudge work otherwise. Point for creativity at least.

I was surprised to have never heard of this album. It's right in a pocket of things I like. The band name was familiar for sure. I dug it.

It's full of classics that I respect but wouldn't really sing along with and it is over two hours long. I respect it as long as it never comes over for beers again.

Although I am happy that the Ramones helped pave the way for a certain kind of punk rock music, I never really cared for them. There's a few songs of theirs that I find quite energizing. Sheena is a punk rocker and I want to be sedated come to mind. This album doesn't really do it for me. It's okay. It's just not great.

I think this is the 3rd Scott Walker album and I've actually enjoyed them all moderately well. They're interesting in that they aren't really crooner albums or just silly or poignant or strictly singer-songwriter or ballad albums. They all feel like some American got drunk in Italy and made a career for himself. There's a soap opera vibe to the whole thing. It's very dramatic in a tongue in cheek way. I liked it.

Sort of an average Joni Mitchell album with a standout oddity in the track twisted. It was an easy listen in the morning while I had an hour to clean around the house and work on a project. I don't think I'd ever choose to listen to her but I'm never upset when she is playing.

Just the most twee.
