Enjoyable enough but nothing spectacular

I'm in a bad mood and that probably plays a role in this review but this album sucks ass, fucking trash

I loved this album (I just love New Order in general). Elegia reminds me of Philip Glass's music for Koyaanisqatsi, I guess they're both elegies of sorts

I think everyone needs to watch Shankar's performance at Monterey Pop

I guess on one level, I do understand the low ratings but on another, I really don't. If you give yourself over to this album completely, I think you'll find yourself moved very deeply

I always liked Absolution and Origin of Symmetry better but this is still solid. 3.5/5

I think Pink Floyd definitely hit their highest highs on this album but there's also some sluggish parts. 4.5/5

Nice, pleasant listen

Why was this album so hard to find, I liked it though

I feel like I should like side 1 of this album more than I do, like all of the component parts (Joplin's voice, backing instruments, etc) are really good but somehow side 1 is less than the sum of its parts. Yet Side 2 is really fucking good

I'm glad Ali Farka Touré has two albums on this list, maybe he needs another

I really liked this, maybe I just like chanson

Jaco Pastorius looked and played like a guy named Jaco Pastorius would

I had a lot of fun with this album. I haven't gotten any of the Mothers of Invention albums yet so I'm very interested in how they stack up against this one

I've been meaning to watch the movie for like forever, I guess I probably should now.

Update: Watched movie, really good movie and this soundtrack adds a lot to it, however my rating of the album isn't changing

I'm all in on the weirdness

I love Sultans of Swing but I don't really care about the rest of the album

I really really like John Prine and it pains me not to give this a 5. 4.5/5

The first song sounded like New Order and I spent the rest of the album wishing I was listening to New Order. 2.5/5

There are some songs I really really like but they also whiff completely on a few. When they hit, they really fucking hit it though. 3.5/5
