I was surprised by the toned down production compared to the versions of the songs I'm used to. Still wonderful sound.

Great fun, love the genre, don't think it quite rises to the level of REM or Depeche Mode, but glad it exists

The sound is so good I don't even care about the voice. Amazing sound, such diversity of song writing, genius.

Elvis feels like a character. The music is fine, but so ubiquitous and foundational it functions more as a period peice and cultural touchstone than listening material.

Sonorous Melodic varied exquisite pop perfection.

Concious rock that rocks as hard as it hits

Sigur Rós walked so Explosions in the Sky could run. Amazing music.

Fun rock album!

I don't get what makes this interesting. His other albums had momentum, melody, novelty and weight. This is just amateurish.

Fun frenetic melodic danceable electronica.

About a decade before their time. Great musical storytelling with diverse sound

So much cool sound. Preventing house from boring is hard and they manage.

Atmospheric and cool, but none of the tracks demanded attention and hooked me. On Hold was the most interesting moment and definitely worth a listen.

Aressting, singular and powerful. Not my thing.

Why is French and Spanish rap so much better than English?

If these did not get added to the great american song book, they should have been. Plus one of the more compelling political slam poems I've heard. And what a wonderful voice.

Atmospheric and soulful.

Chaotic punk glory

Poetic, but not up to his usual standard.

The Vines and the Hives make up the twin bastions of perfectly honed Chaos channeled into emotive magic. Perfection.
