It’s EDM. I enjoyed the first track, but then this got really old really fast. If I were in a club and any of these songs came on I wouldn’t mind dancing to them, but to sit down and listen to the entire album at once is not all that enjoyable.

So chill, love bopping along to this stuff. All day long.. very good vibe.

I love how this band lives up to its name so completely. Musically not five stars for me, but I admire their passion and their message.

Oh I am PSYCHED for this new find!
If this music doesn’t have you bouncing in your seat you need more joy in your life.

This is an album of grief, written after Nick Cave’s fifteen year old son died.
I don’t know how to “rate” such a thing. It doesn’t even feel right to rate it.
It feels so personal. It is devastatingly painful.

I’m not a fan of Nick Cave’s voice and don’t enjoy listening to his music generally. This album moved me deeply but at the same time I hope I never have reason to seek it out and listen to it ever again.

RIP Arthur.

Crazy that for decades my mind has labeled Black Sabbath as “heavy metal” which I just assumed would be too harsh for my taste. Then along comes the album with two tender ballads, plenty of melody.. I should have checked them out much earlier!

As an Aston Villa fan, I do have a bonus tie to these guys. Ozzy now joins the other Holte Enders in the Sky, to cheer our guys on from the other side. Thanks for all the entertainment Ozzy and UP THE VILLA!!!

Knew all the hits but had never listened to this full album. I see why it gets all the praise! Almost a five but a couple of the tracks are holding me back

I’m not from the uk and had never heard of these guys. But this is the kind of youthful exuberance that makes me smile and gets me moving. Very fun.

Pretty voice, kinda boring

Lots of seventies influences. Not bad but not very inspired.

She’s got a great voice. Some of the music is a bit too mellow for my taste but when she gets bluesy, a little funky, it’s better.
Not gonna be a favorite but I’m not mad I got to hear her.

Easy five stars.
Let yourself feel the vibe and float through this one.

Nice find! I had never heard of this group, or this movie, but this was quite moving.

My oh my, after many days in a row of hard rock, this was literally music to soothe my soul. Magical. Tasty tasty blues.

Not loving it.
Vocals not impressive. Drones on and on.
1.5 stars? We’ll see how I go but this was really not enjoyable to sit through

I feel ashamed of myself for never listening to him sooner. So much controversy back in the day. This guy has talent. I also now have read that Trent Reznor was heavily involved in the production, which makes sense, I can hear that now. I can hear some hooks, the lyrics resonate still in current-day corporate hate-filled America. I know an album is special when it’s from a genre i know nothing about, and don’t really enjoy, but still it moves me in some way.

Will I want to sit and listen to the whole thing again? Probably not, unless I have a day of rage (ok, so maybe, F@*$ Trump). Is it a superlative example of its genre and of a concept album? I think so.

I’m a cis woman and I think I have more testosterone than this album does. The songs are all pretty, and a few are even very pretty, but I accidentally listened to it 1.5 times because my attention kept drifting away.

I’m kinda shocked that I didn’t hate this, as I fully expected to. I only listened to the 1972 edition though. No way am I listening to prog rock for over an hour if I don’t need to.
The music itself on this one was less useless noodling than lots of other prog rock, I must admit.

It’s hard to believe this album was made in 1969! It’s at least a decade, if not two, ahead if its time. You can hear punk and grunge in here, along with some classic rock guitar shredding.
Pretty impressive. although not typically my taste in music, I have to respect these guys.
My enjoyment level is three stars but it gets a bonus star for being creative, energetic and prescient.

Reading the Wikipedia entry this album was a big hit in the UK, which must be why it is on the list. Being from the US I have no nostalgia about this album, and therefore have no sadness in saying it isn’t very good.
