Thought I would like this more than I did. The lyrics and themes got tired really quickly and their older sounding songs didn't sound very interesting to me.

Very sonically engaging! Definitely want to listen to more and this album again!

Nice!

Didn't really get much from this without the context of the film.

Not bad though.

Definitely no one sounds quite like it.
I genuinely don't like the distorted drums and the prevalent lack of synchopation (despite these being deliberate?)

Some good songs and 'interesting' lyrics though.

Very cool. Didn't love every song but I loved the style of the whole album. Blue-sy but not tired and worn out.

Very up my alley. Wasn't expecting such ambience and drama from the music.

The lyrics and haunting voice drew me in when usually I struggle to pay attention to those.

Very nice. Masters of their craft just churning out another excellent batch of songs, not much more to it than that!

Pretty incredible. Bold, energetic and pretty original songs that would pave the way for so many other legends.

Production wasn't as perfect as some of the other all time great albums but also there is some unreal production (e.g. the Levee drums).

Excellent, ground breaking, original yet charming.

Lots to enjoy in here 😀

Perfectly pleasant to listen to.

Really enjoyed.

Loved the mixture of an old sound with a bigger, more modern production.

Will listen again!

Lots to like in here. Tunes that grab your attention and make you listen.

Just not quite the finesse / overall songwriting of songs to come from Seattle in future years.

Had some cool twists and turns which I liked. Tbf, I think this could go grow on me and I don't think it was the best album to listen to whilst hungover so I will give it some benefit of the doubt.

Interesting concept, some quite challenging lyrics.

I know it's a rock opera but I would have liked some difference in musical style here and there.

Some good tunes dusted around though!

I liked the variety of style and production, didn't feel like I knew what was coming next.

Some uncomfortable moments in there (I guess purposefully) and also what was going on with the volumes of the tracks?

I found absolutely no joy in this at all.

Meh. Music was pretty dull and vocals were pretty meh so not much in this for me.

Great sound throughout with some amazing songs strewn in. Very pleasant to listen to.
