Rated 8/10

First song is stellar, the remainder if the album is easy to listen to.
Giving it 4 stars, but not an album I would play frequently.

Though the title song is probably one if the most emblematic songs in the world, I was less impressed with the rest of the album.
I will give it a couple more spins to see if it catches on, but for now 3 stars.

Upbeat, great music.
Maybe 1 or 2 songs that are epic, however, the rest of the album allows for more than enjoyable listening... 4 stars for sure!

Rated 8/10

Thoroughly enjoyable listening experience, but then again, I found this album about 2 years ago and started listening to it with some regularity.

Will give it 4 stars... but Common People is being added to my favorite play-list on Spotify!!!

Rated 6/10

Though I was able to enjoy some of this album, I still don't understand why there are so many people who see Zappa as God...

Having said that, I did appreciate the music.

I can understand that the album is included, however, for my taste, listening to the album once every decade or so will be more than plenty.
I did notice that the sampling done was very subtle and one can see how PE set the tone for many rap/hip-hop artist which followed.

Had never listened to thus album before, and enjoyed the experience--found it very relaxing by the third time listening to it.

Rated 10/10

Top5 Album all time!
What a joy to listen to, and what a disappointment to see that Hallelujah doesn't even come close to top 100 most played songs on Spotify.

My first album on the 1001 Album journey, and what a lovely album to start this adventure with.

Though I had never listened to this album start to finish, most of the songs were familiar to me as this album contains, easily, 4 all-time classic songs from the '70s.
One thing I am certain of is that, once I ask my children to listen to the album and rate it, they will most likely give it between 2 or 3 starts, as the sounds on this album are probably not apt to the "modern" ear.
