Listening to this it's quite infectious in it's quirky upbeat feel.

I like it.

Boy is this a strange album- made in the 70's it doesn't sound like anything i've heard before? I can't even decide if I like it or not.

Brasil meets Africa I guess.

It has a 70's lounge Musak vibe too.

Sounds late 80s in it's production.

Ethnic pop-orientated sounds with traces of a number of other.

It's ok but nothing special.

This is one of the seminal blues-rock albums of all time.

It''s slightly dated but stands the test of time.

Funky, assured with integrity.

There's a great vibe going on with this album and it's 50 years old!

Enough variety to make it interesting and sooooo smooth.

I loved it.

This is for me the greatest live album of all time.

I've played it a zillion times and hope to play it a zillion more. Nirvana sums up the whole sentiment at the time.

It's like a 'Greatest Hits' album keyed with a disturbing insight into Kurt's personality. It's not an act.

The covers of Bowie first and then Ledbelly at the end are the highlights but that's no reflection on the band, their versions are just spot on and unique.

'Where did you sleep last night' stays with you long after the record has ended. It's one of the most disturbing songs I know and one of the greatest performances.

This album is like a primal force of nature- deep, dark and disturbing.

Stuck between Punk, New-Wave and early Goth.

Powerful themes, rhythms, guitar and drums. Siouxsie voice is perfect for this. She is so strong and magnetic.

This brings back memories.

Listening back now it's pretty generic and the production is uninspiring (were any instruments actually played?).

Still, the songs give off a gentle vibe which is enjoyable despite that and there's certainly enough hits on show.

This is iconic.

Whether you love or loathe this album it shaped our culture in the 80's.

Overgrown and graniose with a sense of importance- it's perfect 80's baby!

Good solid rock anthems it may be a little dated today but credit needs to go to Lanois and Eno for shaping this too.

Musically it's complex and has a lot of references from other genres in there.

I love every track.

This is ok to listen to- kinda like a background soundtrack as others have noted.

It's not the most original of sounds either.

Just ok.

Awww come on people!? It's Britney?

This was massive. She was massive. The video was massive. For sheer impact on our Western culture this is right up there and whether you loved it or loathed it we've all heard it.

As someone else said the album is top heavy probably because the producers didn't think people would get to listen all the way through?

And to think this has a string of awards and record sales stats attached to it.

Bless.

OMG! Leonard Cohen does 80's musak including cheesy backing singers and even a Kenny G sax?

This is a terrible moment in a great man's career.

This is so wrong in so many ways and even Leonard's words are drowned out.

I can't even blame the music label or producer since it's evident this was 100% his idea.

Dylanesque? This is really good. Would you call it Neo-country?

It's not normally my thing but it's beautifully balanced with a laid-back vibe that's floats along seamlessly from track to track.

Reading the reviews it seems there's a lot of people hung-up about his nastiness. Well he doesn't strike me as a saint but can you point me in the direction of someone living his lifestyle who's never acted like a jerk?

Trendy chattering classes......

I do like LCD. Hard to believe this is 2017 and not in a niteclub in Sheffield circa 1981.

I prefer Sound of Silver but this is a continuation on the themes of retro electronic dance. Similar sounds sure but I like them.

Listening to 'Being Boiled', 'Electricity' or 'Fade to gray' I'd like to think Mr Murphy has copied them but he's invented his own vibe and I love it.

Whatever you think about him later in life he was a great showman, highly talented and this is one of the most iconic of his albums.

Some of these tracks may be fillers but there are massive hits too and it's very slick and well produced thanks to Quincy Jones.

Not my favourite album of his either but assured.

Spellblinding songs.

Kate has always been totally talented and unique and so very scary.

These are some of my favourite songs by her. Yes they are Pop rather than anything else but distinctive and could only have been written by her.

This is proper Prog.

Interesting to listen to and varied.

I can understand why some might hate it though.

I've always like the vibe and image of Bauhaus but apart from their Bela Lugosi hit (which I bought on 12") could never get into them.

Listening back now their sound is a lot more experimental (not mainstream at all) and authentic. 'Earwax' is a treat.

It's pretty spare and basic (in a good way) so I'm happy to have reacquainted with them.

Strong, powerful songs although the music is a bit dated now.

I've a lot of respect for her although she's light years distant.

It's ok and I liked some tracks.

Authentic African rhythms with 80/90s synth/drums. It would have been better without the extra bits (since they are dated now).
