This band completely passed by me at the time. It sounds quite dated now I feel.

Ironically enough I think they're trying to capture a 'punky' New Wave feel that existed 10 years prior to this record but ends up sounding like an 80s band.

There's a lot of studio bells and whistles I remember existed in the early 90s.

Very much a museum piece.

This is a pleasant change and I really enjoyed this. The musicianship is amazing. I can't imagine how good you'd need to be to play like this.

It's more classical than popular but I don't care. We need more of this on the chart.

Very sad and personal - like a fragile flower someone's forgotten to water.

A bit samey after a while. I liked the album he did with Sufjan better.

Only Harry could get away with this..

The hits and videos are all about him and if they were being sung by someone else they wouldn't be special.

He's a character and make no mistake about it.

It's quite well put together and at times pleasant and unoffensive. A mixture of rapping and R&B

What amazes is how popular these tracks are - billions of listens.

These artists have really learnt how to use Spotify and reach out to their fans.

I expected to hate this but y'know it was ok? Easygoing early 2000s slightly quicky pop rock.

I prepared to pan this but I appreciated it's authentic garage sound mentality- doesn't sound studio cleansed but fresh.

That said there doesn't sound much else

Sooooo........soooothing.....

Sufficiently varied to rise above ambience but I could listen to this all day.

Wow! What a find this is! Thank you to the music lover who proferred this.

Authentic and suprisingly well produced. Michael was a fine artist in every sense of the word, singing, writing and painting.

Listening back he has albums across the decades with a more country feel. I would have loved to have seen him live.

I've had this album on another 'Best album' chart and it is good. It has integrity that is difficult to manufacture and pin down.

Not my normal listening but this is very good.

Wow this was a great time for music.

It has authenticity and as far as guitar, bass and drum jams go you can really lose yourself.

Tremendous.

I liked this and would probably like it more and more with repeat listens.

Reminds me of a lot of bands from around 2005 but there was a lot of good music around about then.

Quirky and inventive.

The persona and swagger is something to behold but the song structure is the same as always.

Still, she is Madonna part2 and is incredibly talented so what does that matter?

I found this really relaxing and sad. Beautiful and lush in places.

It doesn't set the world and fire but does it need to.

It's not the most original or innovative and probably belongs in the late 80's but dang this is fun and enjoyable.

It amazes me how diverse the 1001 userbase is: Country and Western fans, Heavy Metal headbangers, Rap dudes and Punk rebels and now we have smooth R&B lovers.

It's pleasant, well produced and unoffensive but I can't see what it adds?

For instance let's compare to FKA Twigs and there's no comparison.

For 1993 this is suprising. Groundbreaking even.

The music and rapping are pretty good.

Intelligent lyrics and interesting quirky sond.

Not entirely innovative but good to listen to.

A tad predictable but then it was recorded in 1974.

Pretty standard R&B which reminds me of George Thorogood but then John came first so I take me hat off to him.

I was pleasantly suprised by this one. There was variation and the effect was right down my street.

My wife hated it but then she likes Miley Cyrus.

I played it loud.
