Most of these tracks flow into each other perfectly so that I can't tell when a new one begins. I had to keep checking my screen to see if it had switched to a new song yet. That's pretty cool that the songs flow that well into each other. My favorite was probably "In the Lap of The Gods (Revisited).
- Killer queen: Classic, catchy
- Tenement funster:
- Flick of the wrist: really cool guitar solos, I liked the way he said the first few lines of the song, it's really funky and has a good beat, very angry
- Lily of the valley: very heartfelt, his vocals feel like Orpheus from Hadestown at some parts, it has a very beautiful melody and lyrics
- Now I'm Here: this one also feels like a little bit of a petty, angry song, the guitar is YUMMY
- In the Lap of The Gods: really cool fade in and out, crazy high notes, it does feel quite godly or otherworldly
- Stone Cold Crazy: i really like the fast beat, more classic rock sounding, the ending is fun
- Dear Friends: gives the same vibes of blackbird by the beatles, but blackbird is better
- Misfire: YUMMY DRUMS AT THE BEGINNING, this is a joyous track
- Bring Back That Leroy Brown: this song feels like it's ripped straight from the Whiffles in Crybaby. It feels almost just like squeaky clean.
- She Makes Me: the harmonies are quite melodious and mystical, i thought he was gay...
- In the Lap of The Gods (revisited): "I can see what you want me to be", i really like the lyrics, i think this revisted version is better than the original

This album makes me feel like it's Sunday and I live in the suburbs in a little house and it's early in the morning and the sun is streaming through the windows and plaid curtains and filling the room. This is the songs that would play through the radio while I had some tea and an egg for breakfast as I planned out my peaceful day at home. A perfect sleepy morning. I mean all of this in the best way. This type of music really holds a place in my heart. It's interesting because it's so different than the usual music I listen to, but it's definitely just a part of the person I wish to be, the part that wants a peaceful life in the morning (not necessarily and preferably not in the suburbs actually). I like every song on this album.
Favorite tracks: Go Where You Wanna Go, California Dreamin', Spanish Harlem

I knew Tiny Dancer prior to listening to this album obviously and I do really like that song, but the rest of the album was kinda meh. Maybe it's just cause I don't really get the Elton John hype? I'm just not the biggest fan of his stuff. Razor face felt like a dumb song and the rhyming felt cheesy. I'm thinking that appeal that's in the appeal of him for people though, the songwriting? I dunno. I did like the end of the album kinda though. It was chill and nice sounding but nothing caught my attention as "Oh, I wanna listen to that later". Maybe I will return to this album in the future and relisten and will like it more? I hope so because I want to get the hype about Mr. Elton John

Reallyyyyyy like this album. I've been a big fan of The Police for a while, more so their "Ghost in the Machine" album. I really like their sound. I forgot that "King of Pain" was on this album, which is a song I adore. "Mother" is a little weird, pretty much the only song I feel iffy about on the album. It simultaneously is hella annoying but I also like it? Every other song is peak and a joy to listen to.

I knew Duran Duran's name but I didn't remember which song/s it was. "Hungry like the wolf" was the one! I like this album a lot, I think I've added almost every single song to my liked. Honestly "hungry like the wolf" is one of my least favorites, perhaps even my least favorite, of this album. Cray! They did a good job with this. I love the vibe of this album, especially the vibe of "The Chauffeur" because it's so eerie! It's so fun. I think Duran Duran is just one of those classic bands that everyone knows (at least people who are into music or grew up then) but they don't know how they know them. I'm glad I got the opportunity to listen to this album!

Not my favorite. I really like Echo And The Bunnymen but this is not my favorite album. It just felt like the same song over and over. I might listen to it again later to see if my opinion on it changes because I feel like I could like it in the future maybe. My favorites were: Do It Clean, Pride, Rescue, and The Pictures On My Wall

Banger! Yesterday I was feeling tired and it was the perfect album for that. As soon as I thought it was getting boring, something wacky and interesting happened.

This was good! An unexpected classic hidden in its songs that I did not know was their song. I'm going to listen to them more in the future (specifically this album) whenever I get more time. I liked a lot of these songs especially "Comin' back to me"

It was good. It's interesting how many songs were in the album and how short some of the songs were. There were a lot of weird sounds on there, some that I liked and some I didn't. My favorite was probably "as we go up, we go down"

Favorites are probably "hometown unicorn" and "gathering moss" and "mario man". I liked this album, it had a cool groove.

Pretty dark music (melodically- and lyrically-wise) and sometimes it feels like the singer's rhythm is a little off. I think I might like it a bit better (find it tolerable even) if he had better rhythm and better notes (sometimes he feels like he's not completely right with his notes). I'm just imagining the kind of person who would write/sing these songs... and it's kinda hard to enjoy his voice after thinking about that. Seems like a bad version of Ballad of Hollis Brown. If you want ballads, listen to Bob Dylan. It's like nasty, serial killer Ted Bundy mixed with Bob Dylan. Did not like this at all. I got through half of it and figured it was enough

Didn't think I'd like it honestly, even though I really like "Walk This Way" because sometimes that classic rock is boring, but it's good!
FAVORTES:
Adam's apple: At first I didn't like it but then I realized it actually had some cool riffs and a cool melody.
Walk this Way, Sweet Emotion: Classics
Big Ten Inch Record: This song is really funny

Pretty fun! How is it punk though? Maybe I'm not so much into the early punk scene, so I don't know how it sounds, but I was expecting something different than what I got. I REALLYYYYY fuck with the beat on this whole album and I appreciate how it's in every song. I like grooving what can I say. My favorites are "Instant hit", "Ping Pong affair", "love und romance" and "typical girls". My brother did not like it as much as I did. I like the reggae influence

I was looking forward to this because of Bob Dylan and they were great! Nice old songs and fun to listen to

There is no bad song on this album. Everything is perfect: lyrics, guitar, drums, voice, etc etc etc. I LOVE THIS ALBUM SO MUCH. I grew up listening to it through my family so its sound is very familiar. It's just such a classic album. My favorites are "Good times bad times", "Babe I'm gonna leave you", "Dazed and confused" (obviously), and "communication breakdown"

BEAUTIFUL. immediately after the first 3 seconds i know i would rate it a 5! the backing is such a perfect platform for her wondrous voice. the stories of the songs are interesting too. just beautiful. it reminds me a lot of bob dylan and joan baez's lyrics

it's interesting...it feels like glam rock and reggae fusion a little bit. i could NOT get through this album when i first tried to listen - now that i am getting through it its pretty good... i would say 3.5 but ill round down because it was so hard to listen to at first. oliver's army is a good song but has a little bit of a jumpscare! my favorite was probably sundays best

It's pretty boring, just 'classic rock'. It just repeats the same phrase over and over again and calls it a song. The only one I actually liked was "Tell me" and even though he repeated 'tell me' about 1000 times at least he sounded good doing it.

there's so many different things going on (birds, melodies, voices) and i love it. it was really cool. at first i was intimidated by the 18 minute long song but ended up listening to something great! i think it's better to have on in the background than something to actively listen to but great tunes

YUMMMMMM! I really liked this one! I feel like this is finally an album up my alley. Big fan.
* Soul and Fire - guitar kind of sounds like sonic youth which I like, also really like the lyrics, especially "I think our love is coming to an end"
* Two years two days - again, I really like this sonic youth-ness, good lyrics again
* Telecosmic Alechemy - a little more grit
* Fantastic disaster - a looooot more grungey, the lyrics kind of remind me of the beastie boys, the harmonica was very unexpected
* Happily Divided - this song sounds like elliott smith to me, especially his singing, nice rhyme
* Sister - super exciting guitar, I REALLY like the riff
* Cliche - peak
* Sacred Attention - guitar at the beginning was nice
* Elixir Is Zog - The screaming is so funny to me 'cause it just came out of nowhere after the singing has been pretty soft in the previous songs, usually I don't like music with screaming but I like this song a lot
* Emma Get Wild - GUITAR IS SO GOOD ON THIS, the way he's singing he sounds like he's just about to run out of breath and i'm SO down for it
* Sixteen - the overlapping voices are peak
* Homemade - his voice is very pretty in this, at first i was like oh! but then i got what it was about and its very heartfelt
* Forced Love - I like the descending melody in the chorus a LOT.
* No Way Out - yummy, i like the fly taking a nap or smth in the middle
* Bouquet For A Siren - very much like the low and high voices, it feels like space oddity by david bowie
* Think (Let Tomorrow Bee) - lyrics are nice, "girl of my dreams, or a friend that one day leaves", yeah i like the lyrics a lot
* Flood - interesting song to end the album on
