I really enjoy some of the music, especially the eponymous hit. I just found some of it grating and repetitive. Definitely a huge impact on pop music to be heard.

I don't know man. I know he's lyrically gifted but the voice? And can't we get blues by Black artists?

This is fine. I like the vintage sound.

One of my top 5 albums! I am confused, though, why the Spotify version is censored?

Idk man

I like some of the punky elements, but the length is gratuitous and the voice grating after a while.

Did everyone get this after an angel's passing?

Not unpleasant listening but why is this on here

There are some real moments of loveliness here, but I didn't find myself wanting to just listen to the whole thing. Seems like a predecessor to more greater singer songwriters later on.

It's all too much Elvis Costello

I like this guy better in the Gorillaz

Iconic album with some monster hits. I did find some of the music very similar one song to the next.

Not sure why this is on here. I had to go listen to Al Green after.

A groove. Way more listenable than the reviews let on. Give it a shot! I normally hate long songs and long albums, but this is good for working or general vibing.

why on earth was that first track 20 minutes. sorry, dad, I know you loved these guys.

I'm with some of the many reviews here that says there's some talented playing on this album, but it just doesn't do it as a blues album. The best tracks have Black musicians playing their own music (Ray Charles, Robert Johnson...) and Mose Allison playing the fuck out of that harmonica. I would rather more classic Blues album from the US than this.

This is fine. I loved the spare and intricate guitar playing but got lost with the vocals.

I'm reading "A Brief History of Seven Killings" by Marlon James. A great co-read to this listen. A delight to listen to, with deep political messaging underneath.

Knights of Cydonia is one of my favorite songs. Some real bops on here but some boring tracks as well.

This was nice listening and weird. Good background for work and I feel like a forerunner for the indie music of the 2010s
