Better than I expected, although there were a few songs that were a definite nope for me. Overall, I can't say the album turned me into a Prince fan, but I can understand better why he is popular.

First time I've really listened to Marianne Faithful. I've always known of her, but never sought out her music. It's not bad. I also listened to one of her earlier albums which I actually like better than this one, but I'm not particularly interested in seeking out her music again. A case of the music is okay, but just doesn't connect with me.

Not a bad album. However, it doesn't feel like I want to listen to it again. It's a case of their sound is good, but it's forgettable to me. I did find the second half of the album better than the first half.

Magical album. First heard it as a kid, bought it as a teenager, and I have managed to always have a copy each time a new media took over: records to tapes to CDs to digital. And it's worth it. I particularly like Manic Depression and The Wind Cries Mary, but they are all great.

Good album. I haven't heard Fats in years and it was a nice trip down nostalgia lane. It was a very nice listen and I could see myself revisiting it often, but it didn't grab me enough to put in regular rotation.

The good: I like the beats. I like some of their rhythms. I like the skits to a point. I like the humor as well.

The bad: Overall, I'm not impressed. I see why they are considered one of the best of that era, and I find them more tolerable than others in this genre, but it's just not for me. The lyrics are not for me.

Rated 10/10

This album takes me back. This is such a solid album. Sledgehammer is still hitting hard, but Don't Give Up is incredibly relevant today. This album is such a banger and I'm loving everything about it.

I remember listening to some of their stuff back in the day, but can't say I remember much of it. I like the song "Pitch the Baby" more than "Cherry-coloured Funk". Really can go forever without hearing the first track again. It wasn't awful in a "ugh this is terrible" way, but I just did not like it. However, based on just these 2 tracks, I'm thinking one listen is all I will ever need of this album. "Iceblink Luck" is worse than track 1. I'm trying real hard not to skip it, but I may fail. Not sure I'll make it through all 10 tracks. I did make it through all 10 tracks. They range from okay to nope and overall, forgetable.

I remember listening to my roommate's copy back in the early 1990s. SO, who isn't a fan of The Cure is impressed with the first song. He had never heard it before and he likes it.
