Too long but has some great moments

The world's greatest cliche

I found this really bland, what a great bass sound though

It's an OK Nick Cave album, not as good as some of his later work!

Young Man Blues absolutely incredible, and I think the other covers are superb. My Generation is better on record but think the other two are improved by these live cuts.

Outstays it's welcome massively and you're telling me that the best version of the best song isn't on the original album? I'm not giving this a consolatory star for the anniversary edition having a worldie bonus track

If this had been Radiohead's first, with Creep snuck in, you could make an argument it'd be their best. Instead, it's their first great album. I don't love the post Britpop tinge - there are moments that Muse would ape, but that's thankfully fleeting

Fun but samey

Goat debut?

Would be perfect but Infamous Date Rape is on here, I know Tribe aren't advocating for date rape, but the sex jokes in a song with that theme flies in the face of otherwise conscious credentials

Offensively boring and generic

I'm glad he got to sign off with a great record

Overrated - Perry Farrell's appeal makes very little sense to my British ears - save for some fleeting nostalgia for Stop and Been Caught Stealing from video game soundtracks

Dated and absent of tunes, seriously poor

A masterclass in how not to sequence an album, blows it's load in the first six or so songs - which are very enjoyable and follows it up with nine of so less noteworthy ones.

I like the cover of Never Gonna Give You Up, controversially - the Black Keys have a lot of great covers (maybe more than they have great originals)

I didn't realise how much I loved this album

Loses a point for length, but enjoyed it

Arguably the greatest rock album of all time, nothing more can be said

Love this, neo-americana?

I enjoyed this, I would be hopeful to enjoy more of their work
