Rated 4/10

I feel like these guys should have been on the radio 20 years ago. Seemed overly pop. First few songs were OK then it all just kind of seemed to blend together. If there weren't pauses in between the songs I would have thought it was all just one giant song.

Kind of wild they produced this double album with 28 total songs on it and literally every song is better than good. Like BANGER, BANGER, BANGER, just very good, BANGER, phenomenally good song, BANGER, BANGER, etc. This was a staple of my younger years and is still in my rotation today.

Love the WHO but this album is not as good as some of their later stuff. Still good though.

Mixed bag on this one. Some good, some bad, but mostly just not my cup of tea. Kudos to this site for actually including something wildly different though.

It was refreshingly different. I love country music but even this was a bridge too far to put in my normal rotation. I did really enjoy listening to this album though and thought for something that was 70ish years old has held up extremely well. Some of the lyrics seem very common-place and infused in other songs (especially the first song San Francisco Bay Blues). I can see how this guy influenced a ton of other musicians.

It is acceptable... for elevator music or something. Not sure how this influenced anyone though.

Was real good. Think the album has held up through the ages (unlike the Legs video that has not really held up - though was probably super influential at the time).

High School me would have rated this a 6 out of 5. I used to listen to this a TON. I still think there are some masterpieces on this album, but the rest has kind of just turned to good, not great like it once was.

Sounds eerily familiar, like it could be in the soundtrack to my favorite movie or something. Not bad music at all

Surprised how well this album still holds up. More surprised it isn't still in my rotation.

Rated 8/10

Used to love this but I think I mellowed out a little in my old age.
