important social critique in the lyrics, but the music is just meh. . .

this came out in 1987. that's bananas.

vamos is good

good stuff, but this is not a must hear

tho Pokey LaFarge lends some background vocals. he's worth hearing, if only the once

This cd has been in my car for the past 15 years, at minimum.

This album deserves some context. There was nothing like it on the radio when it released. Here's the Billboard hot 100 from that time:

1. Michael Bolton - How am I Supposed
2. Paula Abdul - Opposites Attract
3. Rod Stewart - Downtown Train
4. Seduction - Two to Make it Right
5. Aerosmith - Janie's Got a Gun

It was a welcome change.

I recently said Pink Floyd's "wish you were here" had the greatest album cover. I was wrong; it goes to this album.
not so crazy about the music tho

Every hostel in the world is required to play this album at least once a day.

did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?

greatest album cover ever

this is really two albums presented as one to collectively promote these solo acts under the outkast name. brill marketing move.

Spkrbx: 2; TLB: 4; so 3 overall.

eminem's career consists of making the same album over, and over, and over, and over again.

what a long, strange trip it has been

Good album I hadn't heard before. \"This is love\" is a good track.

A guy named Robert Ellis was a producer on this album. Despite what Tidal says, this is not the same Robert Ellis of Topo Chico and Lime fame.

Wake up

respect

britpop from portland, oregon

yeesh. . .long form cacophonous jazz.

Borderline unlistenable because of such shit production. terrible synth and awful drum machines. the lyrics make the album better, but can't distract enough from the cheap music, terrible sax solos, cheez ball backing vocals, etc...

It’s like someone with terrible breath telling you a secret too close to your face.

the whole world's a circus, don't you be the clown

more is more

think we'll ever meet Stevie?
