I have never read Poe, but this album might change that. An esoteric collection of bizarre songs, but one which I really enjoyed

One of mu favourite bands since childhood - so funny and talented.

Det här är ett bra album. Jag gillade låtarna, även om jag inte förstod orden. Det skulle vara bra att se det i boken.

Hell yeah! An album I came to late, but loved for many years. I don't think I had heard anything outside of the big 3 singles for ages, but was glad to be reminded of the light and shade of the whole track list.
A band who were more influential than many people know, and who were still as good as ever when they played trnsmt a couple of years ago.

Prog folk, with clear classical influences as well. A lovely collection of music, well written and performed, but lacking a little bit of heart/soul/emotional intensity that would have taken it to full marks. A great suggestion, which I would probably never otherwise have heard.

未来を舞台にした映画のための音楽。ループやサンプルが満載。最高の意味で国際的なアルバム。勉強中に聴くのに最適です。

aussie post-punk / new-wave, sounding a lot like a whole heap of more famous bands - not in a bad way! bands from down under are definitely under-represented in the book, and the user list seems (so far) to be going a long way to redress that balance.

A band I knew by name, but hadn't listened to a full album by. A worthy addition to the list; the only surprise is that it wasn't there already. Sounds slightly out of time, in relation to the rock music that was charting around the same time, but has a timeless quality as a result.

Me gustó mucho este álbum. Querían ser los "Beatles" mexicanos y lo lograron. ¡Genial!

prog-metal, but even more complex than you might imagine. This is a good thing though!

more aussie indie rock greatness - and incredibly good for a (solo) debut

¡Excepcional!

Very student-band sounding - technically proficient and well-rehearsed, but without the looseness that comes from having 20+ years experience of playing live.
I'm still not sure live albums have a place on the list, since they're not *really* an album, but everyone else seems less bothered!
Sounds like a fun show, and a band I will explore more fully if/when I get time. Also, reading the wiki page reminded me I had heard the name before, but for a cool and creative stunt and without listening to the album in question.

17 short fast loud punk songs - what's not to love!

Some music. Not terrible, not great, just some music.

An hour and 20 of a live show, seemingly recorded over the phone onto a warped vinyl disc, then broadcast on radio and taped for an extra layer of hiss and pop. The songs are good enough, and it sounds like a fun show, but this embodies some of my thoughts against live albums.
As well as the sound quality, it also doesn't flow like an album, has unexplained and unnecessary guests, and doesn't even feature some of his biggest hits (which can be a selling point of a live set).
I love his voice, but would have preferred s studio take.

If there is a place for live albums (which I doubt) then this is certainly worthy of consideration.
The crowd baiting must have sounded absolutely crazy at the time - who in their right mind would insult an audience like that - but was an influence (like the music was) on so many of the bands who followed.
Very nearly 5; I'm still not a fan of live cuts on principle.

A band out of time and/or place - early 90s Seattle implies a whole different set of sounds and influences.

Hard, fast, sweary and funny.
Reminded me of The Living End, but even more stripped down.
Brilliant fun
