One of my favourites of all time. I bought this on the back of 'In the Court of the Crimson King' and was horrified.

It's dark experimental mash of styles and sound.

Over time I relistened and now love it dearly.

This takes time and patience.

A personal favourite of mine.

Very laid back and stylish in a decadent sort of way.

Takes the best out of Bowie and Velvet Underground.

Timeless.

The title track of course if a big hit- conjures up visions of the 60's but there are other songs I didn't realise were written by them.

This is quite cheesy but at the same time it's enjoyable as it encapsulates the period.

Did,'t know they were still doing this kind of thing. It could be from the 60's under 'Experimental' Jazz.

It's not unpleasant but I've heard a lot of stuff like this from the early Jazz greats and the only difference would be that it's slanted towards Tango?

A discovery and a pleasant suprise.

Understated vocals and guitar- good to listen to and I guess it would grow on you with repeated plays.

Needs further exploration I guess.

What gets me are the people who are angry or take it all too seriously.

I used to have a friend who loved these guys in the 80's and to be honest I didn't understand and thought them silly.

I was wrong.

Not sure why this is one of my favourite albums but it is.

It's so quirky and low key without fanfare or technical brilliance. It's lowkey pop really.

Not even that groundbreaking but it seem it's the way Brian does things- this album means a lot to me and always hits the spot when I play it so will alwys be a solid 5*****

I do love me a bit of Sabbath. These Brummie lads done good. Just the album cover alone send me into raptures.

Not their best but this is the begining, it's like honey to my ears- so good it's beyond hearing, a resonance that permeates my soul.

From the very first track with bell and ominous portent guitars paving the way for Ozzy's voice........

I like to think I'm pretty open-minded and like to embrace new music.

This is not particularly innovative or groundbreaking and although I normally like this kind of vibe it's insipid.

This is a solid 5 star album regardless of the spellbinding film it goes with. I like the way the tracks drift along with snippets of dialogue.

The music is electronic and dreamy and if you like this you should listen to Moon Safari and Talkie Walkie too.

Just beautiful music. Suicide Underground is quite unsettling and morbid.

I've given one of the U2 albums so far a Five star and the other a One star rating and I'm ambivalent about this one.

I like the music but not convinced by their integrity by this point in their career.

I think the music wins- the music on this is anthemic and because of Brian and Daniel (Eno and Lanois) it's good to listen to.

Had to go to YouTube for this album although she has others on Spotify.

I love Samba and Belel's dad (and Astrud) but this is an updated version- more modern.

It's so relaxing and dreamy. Beautiful music.

I've heard a couple of tracks before but not listened to the album seriously.

You can really appreciate how early they were doing this sort of thing. It's really radical.

Sounds really fresh even now.

A true legend sadly missed. Ian Dury was a cockney geezer- funny , coarse and intelligent.

I bought this aged 11 from Wembley market and was dismayed to find it didn't have any of the hits on it! I persisted and grew to like the very un-PC lyrics and pub-band sound.

The lyrics and the pub rock-n-roll and funk sound is so infectious.

This is a unique gem. It's sad that today's plastic generation don't feel that way.

I bought this at the time and played it to death. Nowadays it seems this is outdated and even ridiculed.

I don't really know where she went but at the time she was powerful and scarey and magnetic.

Brilliant lyrics with a powerful message. The music is raucous and jagged (I know) and Ought and Pocket are two of the best songs from the 90s.

Brilliant album.

God dang it I've had this thrust my way before in a poll although for the life of me I can't think what the category was.

This is one of the strangest and compelling albums I've come across- strange noises and tunes that predated Portishead's 'To kill a dead man' (although they DID make a short film for that).

There is no such film created apart from one in Barry's head.

Genius.

I like the boys and I love the earlier albums (Actually especially).

This is pretty much rehashing over the same ground however.

Just made me put on 'It's a Sin'.

I know it sounds a bit bad but I'd like to know how much of this she really had a hand in?

Maybe the lyrics? Yeah I can see that, but I don't think she produced it REALLY did she?

I genuinely like Ray of Light and can hear Orbit in this as well.

Whilst I applaud her intentions to push boundaries and put herself on the line this is at the end of the day just dancey Pop.

Beautifully lyrical songwriting- some profound.

Bit of an ambivalent person to me but you can't deny his talent so I forgive.

Glad to see so many others feel the same.

These guys were certainly there at the beginning.

Sounds like Rocky Horror now (in a good way).
