A lot of high quality songs with a great vocal performance. The last disc therefore is a bit lacking without the good songwriting and vocals. Rating this not as an album to sit through in one go, but as a compilation of works, it is quite good.

A very high 3

Has some of their best songs, sadly they are ruined by the god-awful production.

The first 4 songs are good, of which Mr. Brightside is amazing. Then it goes downhill.

So close to 4 stars, nearly everything is really fun and enjoyable to listen. But only Alright was unique enough for me to think its an essential song to have heard.

Unfocused mess. Production and sound fluctuates so much between okay at best and muddled and confused at worst. Songs that go nowhere and a vocals that are sometimes drowning in reverb or other effects to muddle it to the point of mumbling.

Getting real tired of all these 80s British post-punk albums

First two songs are nice, then it gets a bit uninteresting

If this was the American reissue it would have gotten 2 stars purely for Paint It Black being on it. But the original UK version truly has no redeeming qualities. Many songs are just plain and uninteresting, Jagger's voice and performance aren't captivating and often do not work well with the rest of the song. Then there are points where the album dips from bad or just uninteresting to awful, such as the bottomless pit of annoying nothingness of Going Home.

On a pure enjoyment level I might rate it higher than this, but it definitely is not an influential or genre-defining album. Just more of the same from Pixies.

Freedom '90 is a great song and Praying for time is also good, After that nothing else clicked for me.

It's fine, but not very memorable. Why is it on this list?

Boooooring

It's fine, smooth listening but nothing that really stuck with me.

It's a nice, sweet, easy-listening album. But also, it does not really challenge the listener, or push boundaries, or do something that outshines its contemporaries. In fact, it can sometimes feel a bit derivative.

It's a fine album, but why is it on this list?

It's not a great album, but for 1966 this is very impressive.

Son of a Preacher Man and The Windmills Of Your Mind are great and the rest is fine.

Child of Time is an amazing song, Flight of the Rat has some great drumming. But outside of that nothing else clicked for me.
