know that people have a high feelings for wire but I just don't get this late 70s punk at all.

great album. just totally imbued with the sound of voodoo and the swamps. love zydeco and this is way at the top for me.

Just not a fan of the Clash. And if I was going to listen to an album it'd be Combat Rock. I suppose this probably influenced a lot of artists in the 70s but just sounds dated.

Great album, falls just short of a masterpiece to me. Amazing the sounds that Hendrix could get out of his guitar.

Has a funky feel to it. Really a smooth jazz album more than anything else. I feel like I'd enjoy this is a dark martini bar.

Love this album. As into Britpop as I was, I cannot believe that I've never hear of this album, nor the band. I don't know I can give it a 5 but it's an album I'd come back to over and over.

Never heard of the Saints before but I really liked this. An album that is 40 years old but feels like it could have been made yesterday. Enjoyable all around.

not sure why I'm not giving this a 1...

Really enjoyed this album. Only the second National album I've heard. Found this one far less depressing. Reminded me of Joy Divison/New Order at times.

really enjoyed the album. surprised at how much actually. only one really well known song, but the rest of the album filled in nicely.

love sultans of swing but the rest of this was just pretty boring.

Put me to sleep. Nothing else to say.

wanted to think this was better - but wasn't crazy about it. the fact that it has hurt (one of the best songs ever written) meant I had to give it a 3, otherwise it might have gotten a 2.

decent album. not my favorite not the worst. I really dislike Aerosmith though, so will never get over walk this way.

A let down, more like 'this album is rubbish'. Thought this album would be better. There were a few songs that I liked but this basically confirms I come out on the Oasis side of the ledger.

Didn't like this as much as Blood on the Tracks. Like a Rolling Stone is hard to beat. Actually like both ends of the album as Desolation Row is also classic

fine album, not really my thing but some hits and decent covers

surprisingly really enjoyed this album. thought Leaving Las Vegas and Strong Enough back to back was really great. I always forget that Sheryl Crow is older than you think (was in her 30s in the early 90s) - which makes some of the references to the 60s in the songs make a lot more sense.

Some of my favorite Hendrix songs are on here (i.e. Castles Made of Sand), but this is probably my least favorite Hendrix album. Just not that deep.

3 pretty big hits are great; the rest just okay (all sounds alike). not great, not terrible.
