Superb performance by a brilliant vocalist and songwriter. Deep emotional lyrics backed by a rich tapestry of instrumental music. A rare glittering gem.

Good album. Very entertaining

Lace of musical content makes this - like most rap - low quality and uninspiring.

An incredible voice. Great R&B with a mid sixties Motown feel. Amazing she was not more popular in the US.

I’m not a big glam fan but the instrumentals on this one were really good and despite the vocals I enjoyed it

Not a big fan. Vocals are better than the last from this band but still meh

Another n!99a calling n!99as n199a. Not my preference in subject matter. Engaging nonetheless.

Eclectic mix of instruments and lyrics make this an enjoyable experience. Strange subject matter though. A balled about a serial killer is not what I expected in an upbeat album.

Not particularly entertaining. No pop no fizz. Kind of boring Sort of like poetry reading. Best part? It was short.

Raunchy comedy rap with clever lyrics. Rhythm is solid. Not a big rap fan but I enjoyed it.

Adele could sing the menu at a restaurant and it would bring the house down. That heartstopping voice is second to none.

Low quality audio is full of static. Really ruins anything good in it which is not much. Lacks most of what makes bands successful.

Smooth rhythm and cool saxophone surround flawless vocals. A really soothing mix.

Chaotic is about as descriptive as it gets for this one. Too busy.

A lack of actual musical instruments and foreign language lyrics make this uninteresting to me. Someone who can understand the lyrics would be able to rate fairly

The music of the 1960’s and 1970’s emphasized musicianship, songwriting and vocal excellence and harmony. It’s not easy to be great in all of these aspects but this band was. This album exemplifies these qualities and produced a signature sound and hits that have lasted close to six decades and still inspire young musicians.

Creative songwriting and a great band help this album along. A bit more effort to really get the songs to the next level, along with improved vocals, would help a bit more.

I like this album because, unlike many others on this list, the band has talent. Musicianship is emphasized on every track. The vocalist can actually sing, which puts him in the minority of the last hundred or so albums I’ve listened to. The guitar player and rhythm section are tight. Bass player is excellent. There is abundant creativity throughout. It exemplifies why I am on this journey - to discover great music that never made it to my local radio station. added to my favorites.

Glam rock proto hair metal. Your first band did covers of Schools Out because it was simple to play and evokes freedom. Juvenile lyrics and simplistic melodies but the rhythm is good. A few songs show creative genius. Blue Turk for example mixes a toe tapping bass line with a saxophone for a cool feel. Then there’s the one with cats meowing in the background. I guess you can’t always be great. Overall not super impressive. But hey, it’s only nine tracks.

Definite ear worm material I this high energy dance album. 80’s all the way!
