Quentesential 70's rock. Iconic.

Interesting sounds, but nothing that made me want to listen

Never Dull. Never sour. Never enough.

Today we find out if there is more than one song on this album. Our answer: Yes! I don't much care for tracks 2 through 4, but the rest of the album slaps! Lovely simple sound while still being out of the box and lyrical story telling.

I don't know if enjoyed is the right word, but there were standout parts of this and it definitely wasn't like anything else I've heard. Kind of like proto-Bloc Party with some elements of noise electrnoica

I don't like the blues. But I like this. B.B. Kings blues are so good they transcend to the joys.

Far more somber and introspective than the explosion of emotion in Funeral, but still an amazing expressive album.

I was expecting more dissonance and noise. Pleasantly surprised it was just a solid rock album.

I have never heard funkier funk. Quentesential.

Sometimes, you want intricate layered metaphor, and other times you want Morrissey. He hits you over the head with unveiled distaste. As always the voice and the instrumentation are immaculate.

Waterfalls is pretty good and the rest was fun. Not really my style, but I love what T-boz Left eye and Chilli stand for

Simple harmonies, complex instrumentation. A real feeling of location with a breadth of melodies. Amazing album.

This was the least approachable jazz I've listened to. I really wanted to love it as I know Coltrane by reputation, but I did not.

They have a unique sound, but they don't seem to write much that resonates with me

Lyrical inovation, minimalist aesthetic. Brilliant, but not for me.

dark atmospheric

Yeah, the beats are alright, and Snoop has flow, but damn if that ain't some misogynistic bullshit.

This feels like the ancestor of better music. It's almost there, but the sounds can be refined and applied more melodically. Izioq could not exist without this work, but this work is not there yet.

Tides by itself would be enough to make this a five star album. So many beautiful atmospheric songs while still maintaining melodic interest. Masterfully done.

Very solid gangster rap, but I'm not sure I understand the huge cultural influence. Taking off a star for the rampant misogyny.
