Overall a good album with a mix of electronic and strum/singalong. Mostly upbeat with a melancholy undertone throughout. Surprised it won a Grammy. It’s not THAT great.

Danceable rhythm. Definite 80’s sound. Synthetic and sterile. Human League roots. As rock fans we loved to hate the Human League MTV videos. Maturity and nostalgia make it enjoyable today. Still a bit simplistic lyrically making it sound like a group of robots singing. Only so much I can handle before skipping ahead.

A rap album I like? Must be dreaming. yeah this was different. Lots of interesting stuff start to finish. Didn’t have me poking the skip halfway through the tracks. Well done.

I’m hearing Grateful Dead and lots of country. Not bad for what seems like a garage band sound.

There are some great songs on this album but I get why folks criticize it for rambling. Editing and some additional takes were needed. Despite the vocals the guitar tracks are entertaining. Overall good. Not great. Coincidentally the last album I listened to was CSN which is a masterpiece and with whom Neil soon became CSNY. This pales in comparison.

I listen to tracks from this album every week. It’s so good I can’t find the words to describe it. Listen to it. Then do it again. Once more. Ok now repeat that. Yeah. You get the idea.
Maybe it’s the superb three part vocal harmony. Or the hypnotic finger style guitar. Or the poetic and deep imagery in the lyrics. Or the…wait…let me listen again to be sure. Yeah. That’s it.

Really great folk album. Vocals and guitar well done. Fast Car got tons of airplay when it was released but this is my first listen to the whole album

Interesting electronic music with some great moments. Use of auto tune not impressive.

Creative but repetitive and redundant. This is what happens when you have a good idea that’s not big enough for an entire album so it becomes cookie cutter. Enjoyable but limited.
