Such cool sound, effortlessly edgy while evocative

Jane's Addiction regressed! This is way more arresting and interesting than Ritual de lo Habitual! Brilliant!

A Voice sweet enough to make me forgive the steel guitar

Red Rain is an instant classic and the hits keep coming with little dead air

This feels like the origins of raw music. I had no idea Do You Love Me and Good Golly Miss Molly were from the same album. masterful work.

Beautifully atmospheric, emotive and sweet

Fun ride, nothing made want to come back

Iconic horror theme. I'm not sure I enjoyed the whole piece, it dragged at times and did not feel very cohesive, but many parts were inarguably brilliant

I wanted to like it, but it was musically boring.

Great voice, incredible lyrics, simply a treasure.

While it slaps at high volumes and has an amazing uplifting message, it's the same song nine times and only slaps at painfully high volumes. No thanks.

The timing of Sunday Bloody brought us U2. They stuck around for some reason. It's fine.

For once I enjoyed and understood the amateurish songs. It helped they were few. The rest were thoughtful and often beautiful

Almost optimal chaos for my brain. Half of the tracks are perfect, the other half stray into noise, but barely. Still five stars.

Nice but only nice. Nothing memorable.

The Lovechild of the Pixies and the Ramones. Everything about this wonderful.

I've been sleeping on Skynyrd too long. This is like all the best parts of country music without the awful steel guitar!

As always from Sir Elton, chock full of instant classsics. Only Elton can bring so much unironic emotion so readily without being hokey.

Sound and fury but where's the music?
