I think of they leaned more into the St Jimmy rock opera bit and less of the generic fuck bush stuff it would have been much better

A cold Monday morning was probably the worst time to listen to this album and may have cost it the extra star

Really enjoyed this

First two tracks are great - then it kinda fades. Def not bad though

A double album that really didnt need to be a double album, and the Maggie May cover was awful

My 72nd album and the first I couldn't finish.

Excellent album

The best led zep album? Maybe

Insipid

Would have been a 5 if the album had Soul Limbo on it - but cant take away anything but the fact this is an incredible album

I think if I had listened to this album closer to when it originally came out I would have been a massive fan. Still it is a very good album and I would listen to again

Very old school Jazzy

David Bowie is consistently the most overrated musician (and person) to ever walk this planet. The best album he made was an Iggy pop album and the veneration he receives as a legend of music seemingly untarnished by his frankly unacceptable behavior puzzles me.

In this phase takes huge inspiration from the American soul explosion at the time and manages to water it down to a thin white sound. Even if you are fan of Bowie I can't imagine enjoying this album outside of a misguided tribalism.

Opinion for this album would massively change depending on the mood you are in. Personally I thought it was okay but I don't think I was quite in the head-space to really appreciate it

It was good, i expected more bluesy style rock but this was more of an early MTV highlights reel

Oh hey its the clash album they released before they went shit

Instant reaction is that drums and guitar work are ace and the vocals are rubbish but the album was really samey and kept up that hyper aggressive style throughout which I got tired of pretty quickly. If I was listening to a playlist and a single song came on I wouldn't mind at all but a whole album was too much. I struggled to finish the album if I am honest

In my opinion this is the best Pixies album. Has a darker unpolished sound but still keeps the pixies insane levels of weirdness. Also it has boobs on the cover.

I've just finished the last track (which was the best on the album) and I have instantly forgotten the entire album. Had it been an album of songs like the last track I would have enjoyed it more. It isn't bad, but there is nothing else there that gripped me at all.

Trying to be objective here but honestly this is just awful. Practically incomparable to anything I have listened to before which is a good thing and has a really strong theme running through it. However there is no 'music' to speak of. It doesn't evoke emotion or thought, it doesn't impart information or wisdom and it doesn't even make me feel uneasy or uncomfortable. It's more like a 6th form art project than an album.
