Is it incredibly influential? Yes.

Do I enjoy listening to Beatles music? Not really.

I think my grandparents may have owned this album, because I'm getting some pretty strong flashbacks to attempting to sit still while warily eyeballing some suspicious vegetables. Have they been boiled to death? Have a taste and find out!

Despite all the memories it's dredging up, this music isn't bad!

Catchy, danceable world fusion music, made by an artist who started out sus and has only gotten worse over time. WAY worse.

There are quite a few humorless bastards on my side of the political divide who cannot handle the thought of enjoying art by artists who are shitty, shitty humans. I've been doing my best to distance myself from that crowd. I can loathe M.I.A. while liking her music.

This shit was so boring and slow it actually pissed me off - I'm seeing why other reviews compared Elbow to Radiohead and Coldplay, two other bands that are so dull it's irritating. Ugh. Why did I have to listen to this?

Meh.

Fuck me sideways, a live double album from a musician I'm usually happy to ignore, and will happily return to ignoring very soon.

A white English shitbag borrowing "blues" sounds does not make an album important enough to be one of the 1000+. I've heard Layla quite a few times thanks to classic rock radio, and even then it's one of those "just sit through this and we'll get back to better stuff" tracks for me.

Feel free to never listen to this before you die, friends.

Really good resource to have on hand in case of serious insomnia.

I listened to the 2021 remaster with 14 tracks.

Lively! Catchy! There's a little punk rock energy in there with the power pop, it's right up my alley. Any time the end of a 14-track album catches me by surprise, you know I was enjoying the listening experience.

Great album. Adding to my library.

T. Rex in the glam rock era! If this project has taught me anything about my own music taste, it's that glam rock is absolutely my jam. I enjoyed the hell out of this.

Separation of the art and the artist, ACTIVATE!

Good music! Fun, energetic punk that shook up the 70s. Thoroughly enjoyable.

Evocative, interesting, probably too much for the normal people.

My husband always insists that I need to stop calling myself weird.

It appears that my genuine enjoyment of They Were Wrong, So We Drowned may be a good counter, because I'm pretty sure this is an album for weirdos.

Other reviews call this "ethereal" which usually means it's going to be very difficult for my ADHD brain to hold onto as a primary focus. Therefore, I'll be rating on the "how well does this help me focus on other stuff and get shit done" scale instead of the "is this music enjoyable to listen to as an activity" scale.

Mmmm. Synths get a bit distractingly 80s at times, but nothing too bad. Decent, unlike the vocalist's views.

Testosterone poisoning!

A brief Internet search suggests that my dislike of slow music is actually one of my ADHD symptoms.

This is slow. I don't like it.

This was a tedious listen.

Soft spot: this album sounds like childhood. I probably "ought" to be more critical of it than I am, but... aw hell, Eliminator was released after I was conceived but before my mom figured out she was going to BE a mom, it's in that very distinct Nostalgia Zone for me. It's just a good listen for me.

Biased as hell 5 stars.

Turns out, I like Frank Black a lot more as a solo artist than I do with The Pixies. I find it a lot easier to connect with.

This album is in my library now.

I love Locomotive Breath in particular, it's a jam.

Rock with flute doesn't work for some people, but it works for me!
