A classic for sure.

Yes it lacks originality but they also have carved their own gritty sound that will live on for generations, this album playing a large part of it.

Not perfect, but a great listen.

Very cool and easy to listen to, but not that much more for me.

Quite interesting. Every song was quite different. Julian has a cool voice. There were one or two songs that really caught my ear but even without the bonus disc, this is very long!

I found this album bizarre. I know this was a weird time in the world but I'm not sure who this is for but it wasn't unlistenable by any means.

I don't think I'd heard Coconut in its original form before so that was also interesting.

I don't mind Sonic Youth but I did mind this.

Nothing to really get my teeth into but I do appreciate how different this sounds compared to everything else at the time.

It certainly was interesting and eclectic. But maybe I need to listen to it in a better frame of mind to get the most of it, very little resonated with me for some reason.

Agree with many that this sounds very of the time but it doesn't really detract from it for some reason.

One of a kind voice with some cool songs.

Very listenable in deed! Some great tracks on there but also some that I zoned out a bit to as well.

A beautiful swansong.

Minimalist but brilliant music spread throughout the relatively short final set of songs from the master.

I Can't Give Everything Away would probably go on my Desert Island Discs, what an amazing song.

He has a way with words and I didn't get particularly bored listening through.

Didn't really get much out of this apart from a bit of bopping from La Grange if I'm honest.

It's not interesting musically, lyrically or melodically.

Great voice and generally lovely songs.

Just those parrot backing vocals are SO JARRING. I agree with others that it sounds dated and like Disney music and it's not good for an album like this.

It's ok.

It's musically interesting and very well produced but I don't feel the songs are as strong or catchy as some of their better work.

Really strong.

I had a heard bits and bobs of this but when I saw her live, she won me over. Great flow over great original beats.

I don't feel this as strong as her next album Sometimes... but still good.

Pretty good! Not too many complaints. Great blend of rock, metal and pop!

Just brilliant!

Opens up with 3 dynamic and really catchy tunes and although the rest of the album isn't quite at that level, it stays pretty high up.

Love the interesting production sprinkled throughout as well.

Very strong first half. Eddie's guitar simply off the scale, so satisfying to listen to.

I found the songs trailed off a bit in quality in the second half but still a good overall listening experience.

Brilliant and difficult to listen to in same measure. Maybe that's the point but I don't want to listen to the whole album again.

Peaches En Regalia is great though.

Pleasantly surprised by this. Really nice sounding instrumentation and easy to listen to vocals.

Will be checking out more of them at some point!

Some great songs on here. Took me by surprise because I hadn't heard about Lupe really.

And I didn't mind the 12 minute outro. It gives you a perspective of how many people can be involved in helping a musician becoming successful!
