I don’t like The Beatles and have heard this album many times, and was dreading having to slog through it again.

Pleasantly surprised that I enjoyed revisiting some of these songs. Shocked at myself to give it 4/5.

Definitely will listen again. Would be 5/5 but for a few unnecessary oddities.

What can I say, I like Radiohead.

Beautiful.

I like one song by Tim Buckley- Song to the Siren. It is not on this album.

Sounds kinda like the Beatles, but even worse.

Lyrics are 100% accurate and 0% nuance.

Hey I have an idea for an album. Let’s take the songs of a wildly successful and respected artist, say Bob Dylan, and redo them, but not as good. If we do it just right, in a year or two we will inspire a novelty band who will also name themselves after a misspelled animal.

I have no idea how to rate this album, and I certainly don’t have anything insightful to say about it. I didn’t really like listening to it, so I guess 2/5?

Definitely a sound. Fun to listen to once every dozen years or so.

REM never met a minor key they didn’t like.

The hits are pretty good, the rest are kinda forgettable.

I kinda liked it, but not sure I would listen again.

I though I would like this more than I did.

Sexy disco has been parodied enough that it is hard for me to appreciate the real thing.

Some good tracks and some boring tracks.

Costello takes himself *way* too seriously. That being said, I still really enjoyed this album.

Had some okay moments. But I’m not really a huge fan of that really electronic sounding early 80s hip hop. Liked “The Message”.

Mellow.

Some parts are definitely overwrought and sound clunky now, so maybe it’s 4/5, but I’m feeling generous.

Nostalgia gives it 4/5. Realistically probably 3/5. It was a really unique and interesting sound at the time though.
