Oh yeah, this album is great and I honestly believe it's because of Chrissie Hines. Her voice and even her attitude on the awesome album cover makes the Pretenders exactly who they're supposed to be. I heard a story once how it was so hard for her to get a punk band together because she was a woman and the dumb men didn't want her. I'm so happy she found a group, I'm so happy this album is good, I'm so happy of how great they've become in the canon of music history.

Honestly this album was fantastic. There wasn't many vocals in this album at all and it made the album blend all the tracks together because of that. I'll definitely listen to this album again and I finally understand why Santana is considered to be the best guitarist of all time.

I expected so much more omfg. The album starts with one of the greatest songs ever and it's downhill from there, especially the second half.

The first half of this album s really good in my opinion but the second half is just fine I guess. The Byrds have wonderful vocal harmonies that many other bands weren't doing in that time, but the few that were are The Beatles or Beach Boys, which did it much better, but The Byrds should not be out of that conversation and this album proves that.

I didn't expect to like this album as much as I did. It was pretty good and that's all I have to say really

The first cool autumn breeze you feel after a long hot summer. Piles of orange and red leaves on the ground and the crunch it makes when you kick or walk on them. Sipping on a chai latte while wearing flannel. Dipping small donuts into apple cider while at a cider mill or an apple orchard. This album feels exactly like everything I said.

It was good, I liked it. I dunno what else there is to say or think about this album. I dunno how influential or "greatest of all time" kinda reception it has, especially for an album from 1996. I have positive thoughts on this album but it didn't woo me or anything.

I love The Smiths, they are one of my favorite bands ever, but out of the 4 studio albums they have....this is the worst right? This album isn't bad at all, Death Of A Disco Dancer, Girlfriend In A Coma, Paint A Vulgar Picture, and I Won't Share You, to me are some of their best songs but I could honestly care less about the other 6 songs on this album, like goddamn. I guess if this is their last album together then I guess it's perfectly fine, and this album never changes how I feel about them personally and in the pantheon of music, but this is just an average Smiths album, and I guess that's a little better than most averages.

On Spotify it was the deluxe version that's 2 disc and is more than an hour long. I wasn't planning on watching it until I realized it was the deluxe version and the real album was the first disc, so I decided to finally listen, and it was so good that I ended up listening to like half of the second disc without even knowing

I didn't feel like finishing this album. Not that it was bad, it's not, but I just wasn't in the mood to really listen to this genre of music. But it's not bad at all, oldies but goodies, but if I were in the right headspace I'm sure I would've finished it. Despite never hearing of the guy or his music, I can definitely tell this guy had a much larger influence on popular music than we think.

Why was this album so good? I like Steely Dan and I know a lot of people LOVE Steely Dan, but maybe they're better than I assume. I don't understand when people say "I don't understand Steely Dan." I don't think there is anything to get, it's jazz rock mixed with a lil pop. I think you just like it or don't, not that there's something to get or understand it ain't that deep in my opinion. Anyway, album good, put one of the songs on my main playlist.

It's good. Some songs I really like, but most are just fine. I really like the woman vocals much more than the man's voice, but together it somehow kinda works? I dunno, I liked the album it's pretty good.

Hey man, I listened to 30 minutes of this 1 hour album and I don't think I'm gonna listen to the other 35-40 minutes. I've heard enough. I get and appreciate the artist was doing, I guess he was recording all around the world and took him 9 months to record or something like that? That's pretty cool, I can respect that. But I don't think I can respect this man, and I'm shocked cuz I like Indian music.

I wish this whole album sounded like the song Where Did All The Time Go because that is such a magnifying surrounded by just decent songs written by Dylan and performed decently as well.
