Good album. All the songs penned by themselves and some really good energetic playing in there. Short and sweet album that was one of the best of its time.

I had no idea what a Britney Spears song sounded like, aside from the big hit on the album. Lots of the album sounds like it could be any late 90s pop artist. Still a nice album that keeps your attention and the Sonny & Cher cover was a fun surprise.

I really like this one more than I expected it to. The songs are perhaps a bit poppy but really seem to capture the post 9/11 American zeitgeist. Much better than I expected from an artist over 3 decades into his career, Bruce's voice still sounds amazing too. There are some beautiful songs in there like Paradise and Into the fire, mixed with a bunch of more upbeat songs.

Had some pretty weird and harsh instrumentation in there. Feels like they took regular songs and clobbered it with a layer of avantgarde. Quite enjoyable.

Doesn't really feel essential imo. You notice some more world-music esque production and percussion on here, especially on the final track. I like it but it's not overly memorable.

Beautiful album. Very lush instrumentation with some intricate playing scattered throughout as well. It's such an easy album to immerse yourself into and watch time fly by. Gets more beautiful with every listen.

I should really listen to the Kinks more. Every time I listen to them I am positively surprised. This album is really great too, great album that rocks surprisingly hard. Shangri-La is my favorite here.

I like it a lot, but I'm not a fan of every track on here and some drag on for too long.

I was willing to give this a fair shot, but what a nothing album this is. 1 hour of Taylor Swift being accompanied by little more than a piano puts any man to sleep, the lyrical prowess on display really isn’t good enough to make an album like this. Any 4 minute song feels like 10 minutes halfway through. Is this what the hype is all about?

Not as good as I remember. Burrito deluxe is a much more memorable album with better hit songs. Lots of country rock albums from this era that are better.

Really good album. Lovely piece of post-punk that I'll be sure to listen more.

Quite an enjoyable listen. Listened to one of the songs off the album yesterday and had this pop up as my album of the day. Feels like a more energetic Simple Minds.

One of the greatest albums of all time. Don't like every part of it, but especially the end medley is amazing.

Amazing how much music they managed to put in this album. Every single song on here is great and memorable, and somehow they managed to fit 2 of their longest songs with jams in there on it as well.

Classic album and an all time icon. However, it's not my favorite listen. near 50 minutes of just guitar, harmonica and singing gets a bit repetitive. I also think there's better folk albums from this time and that Bob Dylan went on to do much more interesting things.

Absolutely nothing to this album.

Every song sounds the same.

Love this album. Manages to blend pop and prog effortlessly, lots of high points here such as School, Hide in your Shell, If Everyone was Listening and the title track.

Sounds fine. Didn't really pay attention but it seems right up my alley. Bit derivative from things like Sonic Youth and Hüsker Dü though.

Amazing album. Psychobilly and punk classic. All the songs are really energetic and have this nice country rock 'n roll twang to them.
