This is delightfully discordant with vibes from the spaced out 70s and the interstallar cosmos.

Thank you for having the vision to present this.

I honour you.

Ahhh this brings back happy memories. This is such a good album, mixed with sadness for Dolores.

Her voice is so distinctive and addictive with the accompanying jangly guitars, drum and bass and occasional orchestral passage.

I normally like this kind of thing but it's really bland and uninspired.

There's nothing here that wasn't done years and years before.

Maybe this hit me at a bad time? Lord knows I've liked things musically worse than this but it came across as a tired and uninspiring attempt to shock.

The only thing better than this is the original music to Silent Hill. The driving beat and distorted mandolin strings send shivers.

This is a more professional offering to be honest- it's just so atmospheric and what games or movie soundtracks should be.

One of the greats.

This just didn't hit me at all. It seems like a period piece- a mishmash of American 80s rhythms and sentiments.

Not bad, but not for me.

Now I don't really know the finer points of rapping or hip-hop or even the difference between them. I was around for Planet Rock and the Sugarhill gang, was there for Buffalo Gals, moved on to Public Enemy (these guys beat them to it according to Wiki) and recently thanks to the 1001 have got into MF DOOM and others.

The fact that Public Enemy have two (TWO!) albums in the main chart and Eric and William have none is a travesty!

The rapping and mixing is very slick though and even I've heard of these guys.

Oh no! Another album that has got it's hooks into me.

I played it a few times- just couldn't get it out of my head.

The videos are pretty bizarre but the musics itself is hypnotic.

Submitter what have you done!?

I like Punk and Ska but this hybrid genre really does nothing for me. Juvenile wannabes with zero talent.

I applaud the intention but it really hails from the 80s. Sounded bitty and uninspiring which is the fine line between genius and just pretty good.

I love a bit of Justin me but apart from the heavenly Holocene this doesn't strike me. Maybe if his other albums weren't so damn good

I'd heard of them and even come across 'Double Neg' and 'Things we lost' before but never really 'listened' untill now.

Thanks to the person who pushed this forward.

It's a masterpiece.

Constantly changing and pushing boundaries.

And of course tragic.

Catching up on a few album offerings just compounds how similar this genre is.

How fans can tell one band from another or even one track to another track is a mystery to me.

Painfully dull and devoid of inspiration.

Just did't do anything for me- I wantwed to like this but it's pretty generic standard fare.

Gosh this is generic and dull. Devoid of originality.

A waste of studio time.

Saw the cover and inwardly groaned but it's actually ok.

Solid tunes and varied enough to be interesting.

Not entirely sure why but this band (and Matt and Aaron in particular) hit the right chord for me- downbeat and slightly depressive lyrics always do it for me.

It's mood music and if you're in the right mood then play on!

Another mediocre rock band from 80-90s.

I can't see anything of originality here- copying what other bands had done for 20 years.

Very interesting but ultimately it feels a bit empty to me.

Certainly unusual but it never crosses the line into something extraordinary.

I do like John, his earlier albums were better and he's crossed into the 80s here and become more mellow and jazzy (if that was ever possible since he was always mellow and jazzy).

Still, for old-times sake it's a respectable 3***s from me.
