As much as I love Johnny Cash, this record is just way too short on content, with long breaks between every song and one song being played twice.

For all the flashiness, it just ends up feeling soulless. And that bonus track is the most cringe thing I’ve ever heard.

Enjoyed this a lot more than I expected to! Great, high energy songs. Some interesting riffs and some unique sounds on a few songs.

How do you write an album this long and have every song sound the same? It’s all so thumpy and mid-tempo. Also, got very tired of the “retro” vocal effect after the 2nd song.

Very cleanly produced and performed, but all the songs sound way too similar. The last song is the only one that ramps up the tempo past the unexciting mid tempo used on the rest of the album.

If you like the 80s sound, you’ll like this. I don’t, so…

Very reminiscent of some of my favorite stuff: The Beatles, Tally Hall, They Might Be Giants. Every song is a great, and there's a huge variety in songs and sounds.

Very well-produced and well-performed, but it feels like more than half the album is ballads. Just makes the whole thing feel like a downer, despite there being a couple great, high-energy songs.

Some very cool moments that border on math rock, but also a lot of generic sparkly 00s indie.

The dry saxophone sound gave me chills in the worst way.

Quintessential rap. Nothing about it really sticks out.

Much better than some of the more straightforward rock albums of The Who that we’ve listened to previously. Great songs with memorable melodies that still maintain that hard rockin’ edge.

Terrible voice, repetitive songs, yet there is something strangely alluring about it that prevents it from being 100% ass

Pretty great! With the big exception of the ear-piercing glockenspiel in the last song, and the alien dog fight.

I can see why this was having a resurgence in the 00s, it sounds just like every indie rock band from that era. Decent variety of tunes.

The biggest hit of the album is the one song that doesn’t sound like every other song, which makes sense. Dude’s voice gets tiring after 2 songs.

This shit belongs in the background in a Wes Anderson movie

The organ tone is so good. The musicianship on every instrument is killer. Great riffs, great songs.

The only album in this projects I far that I couldn’t finish. They just pick one best and repeat it for like 8 minutes. So bad.

Was really hoping for more out of this. It’s got that Bowie feeling that I love, but none of the unique melodic decisions that Bowie comes up with. All the songs end up sounding very samey, and the hushed vocals get tiring quick.
