Not bad enough to commit one, not good enough to talk out of one.

I've heard some Kanye before but I was surprised how much I liked this album. Perhaps my rating is influenced by not really expecting that much out of it? Usually I hate these kinds of rap albums with skits and stuff in them, but I didn't even mind them here. I was with it the whole way through.

I've listened to this album before when I decided to start listening to a bunch of Miles Davis. Unfortunately I went from his modal period to this, which made me not really care for this record. But now that I'm relistening it from scratch, not within the context of Miles Davis' best albums, but in terms of all albums, I really, really appreciate it. It's such a good album that I feel guilty for not appreciating it sooner.

Relatively enjoyable old rock.

Kinda good, actually.

I could probably listen to this all day long.

I generally like electronic music, but I can't go any higher than this for this album.

I sorta remembered 77 being further below Talking Heads' best albums, but no, this was better than I remembered. Even though Eno wasn't producing them yet, there's definitely a lot of that same Talking Heads that you hear in the latter albums. I could not sit still while listening to this.

I don't think I understand this album. Guess it's relaxing enough?

Can't say I'm a huge fan of the organ, but it's pleasant enough regardless.

I think the thing I liked the most was the couple of samples I recognised. Otherwise it's kind of a forgettable record.

This book has way too many uninteresting live albums on it.

Sorta jazz fusiony. I liked it.

Okay at times but in totality I couldn't really get into it, and its runtime is definitely longer than what it can keep my interest.

I do not find most live albums appealing. This is not an exception.

More on the "idle" than the "wild" side. I don't think I could answer a single question about this album if you quizzed me about it.

If only this album was entirely on the level of the title track. Would've been a full five.

I'd say that this is pretty middle-of-the-road 80s music.

It's quite frankly not really what I'd normally listen, but I still really enjoyed it as chill-out music. Really relaxing.

I wish I could like it more but it feels really lukewarm for The White Stripes.
