80s vibe but I like it! Easy listening on a Sunday morning

What is wrong with people?

This is seriously good stuff- I can listen to this all day. It's very prog-like, repetitive, rocky too in places and hypnotic.

These Germans are the synth-kings.....

It's quite pleasant but not really one of the greatest albums ever produced?

Am I wrong?

Poppy Electro.

Not worthy of the top 1001.

Unoriginal and generic. Devoid of any spark and not even worthy of the Semi-Finals of the Eurovison song contest entry level.

It's ok- chill and Bluesy jive.

I dislike the the tendency to retrospectively jump on things people said 50 years ago (however distasteful).

I love the 80's smooth lovers vibe.

I remember one hit and could easily put this one at a dinner party I'm hosting with a collections of friends and a special lady I have my eye on.

I actually like this -it's quite clever and easy to listen to but......

I switched the playlist to Grandmaster Flash who was doing this a decade before.

Why vote for plagiarists?

I've come across this before on another chart- it's a good representative of the genre.

Easy to listen to and chill.

This is an oddity.

Super cool.

Just shows how Post-Modernity has reshaped the world.

I really missed the boat on this at the time but listening back now I recognise a lot of the tracks and this was there for others to follow.

Not really my thing but it's a definite genre and this is one of the top albums in that genre.

Prefer Nevermind but this is a more extreme direction perhaps with the same full-on 100% commitment.

Assured with integrity which is all you can really ask from a band. After that it's just down to personal taste.

Fairly standard Jazz- nice to listen to but nothing special in my view.

This is such a great, undervalued band with their greatest moment.

I loved this album and still do- Billy was a tremendous character with such a great voice.

Brings back great memories.

It's with a heavy heart that I give this one the semi-thumbs down.

It's different, and bold and quirky but I really can't find anything in it to like.

It's a hard one to judge this as it's bound up with so many memories- good and bad.

Everyone loved this guy and his music. I don't know what happened but for a brief time he had the world.

It's so smooth and 80s but just so so so gooooood.........

If you weren't there you'll hate this!

I was relieved to see I wasn't alone in disliking this...

knock off Rage against the machine?

Oooo I do like a bit of 80s cheese but apart from the big hit there's nothing here to interest anyone.

I'm not sure what the Genre is here? 'Cheese'?

I liked them with Vince but they then went transatlantic to fluff the Yanks and it went downhill from there.

Clean sterilised pop synths pretending to be dark and 'alternative'.

There are acouple of reasonable pop songs on here but it's dreadfully mediocre otherwise.

A case in point is 'Policy of Truth' with 116 million listens on Spotify. It's so dull and uninspiring.

Such a great vibe with so much assured musicianship on this one.

Each one of these guys is a master in his own right.

It envelops you from the start and never lets go- the driving bass and drums, Gillans voice rising above everything and then there's Richie's guitar.....

Absolute nailed on stone cold classic.

The vibe on this album conveys so much fun and integrity. It's like they did it because they really enjoyed jamming together.

I bet they were great to watch live too.
