Really nice to listen to. Great vocals and guitar work in particular. Loved Soubour when it came out and it still slaps.

Pleasant.

Resonates today. Feels difficult to be proud to be British...

Pretty unpleasant.

Production is good I guess.

But not a very comfortable listen to listen with my wife. Imagine she thought it was worse.

Found myself enjoying elements of it. But I didn't enjoy it as a whole.

The songs are long, 6 minut songs seem 12 minutes. The album is long, it felt like 2 hours.

Not OK

Pretty exceptional. Going to be difficult to find some better songs than on side A of this bad boy.

Got a bit derivative towards the end, but it's David Bowie!

Simultaneously great and awful. I think if the vocals were done a bit more... stylishly... then you would have a pretty solid album here

Mainly liked it because they dared to be different and made some great songs in the process.

Was thinking about giving it a 4. Very avant-garde. Must have been refreshing at the time. Just not very memorable for me.

Very good. Not quite great.

The only crumb of enjoyment was from a cover.

Very strong. A few bangers short of a belter.

Difficult to believe this was made before the 70s. Saying that, some of it hasn't dated brilliantly. Decent album though.

Not bad by any means. Just think it's a bit cynical. The guitar riffs lack a bit of oomph and the drums (understandedly) lack flourish. Clearly trying to make a pop record.

Nice to listen to. Just didn't hear much 4 or 5 star material in there. Liked some of the atmospheric stuff in the second half.

Thought I was going to enjoy it more than I did

Got completely lost in it. Good running music. Love the experimentation and fuck what everyone thinks.

Record label: What language is this in?

Can: Yes

Almost magical at points. Not sure I love the new remaster, the vocals were very piercing at points.

But my god, what a strong album.

Definitely some interesting chord choices, but I just couldn't get into it at all. I'm not a massive fan of Bon Iver and this was like a worse version of that.

Very nice to listen to. Loved the variety in sound throughout the album and from what I've heard from JM before.

Production not outstanding but the musicianship is there.
