I don't get it. Why? I don't understand the thought process, I don't understand the appeal. Is this novel? Is this pretty? Is this cool? I just don't think so.

Very solid. I'm not huge on this style of tongue in cheek satire, but still great tonality and wonderful rock riffs.

Is this the start of low-fi? It's amazing! It starts that way but then hypes up. This is the dance electronica fusion we needed.

Really miss Garfunkel's harmony. Still okay

I don't care for the style on most tracks, but they undeniably speak truth to power and the flow is well constructed.

Roundabout alone makes this five stars, the rest is just bonus awesomeness.

What a gorgeous album. Beautifully evocative, really paints a soundscape. Loved it.

Not my style, but she's great at what she does.

Rio is iconic and Hungry Like the Wolf kicks teeth. This feels peak 80's aesthetic. Don't much care for the style, but damn do they do it well.

That was interesting, but tried to carry and unearned weight. It didn't say anything, just reveled in darkness. It was interesting, but I cannot say I enjoyed it.

It was fine.

Oh wow. Bruce has ALWAYS had the old man voice. This is the sound I associate with classic rock. I never realized it was just Bruce. Whenever someone mentioned him I always wondered if I had ever even heard him. Yes. He's everywhere, I just didn't know. This feels like discovering the heart of classic rock. The Thing is, I cannot tell the difference between any of the songs. I feel like this album is one amazing song twelve times.

Why? These guys can make music worth hearing, why would they make this? No thanks.

I get it now. Every song a story, every song a bop. Amazing album.

This is like if the Black Keys wrote interesting songs. Amazing.

That was beautiful and important.

6 stars. Done and Dusted.

Riki Don't Lose that Number puts this album at at least 4 stars by itself

That was a lot. That may have been novel and interesting at one point, but it felt like nothing I hadn't heard before and it wasn't musical enough to want to listen. Could be good at a seedy dance hall or as soundtrack, but really didn't enjoy that.

Varried and interesting and whimsical and fun
