Not really my taste, but it's amazing hearing a lot of style that exists in modern music already in his.

I don't know if it's the last 15 albums were terrible post punk albums or if I genuinely liked this album. So soothing and dark and heartbreaking. Probably worth another listen when I'm feeling that mood.

Never thought I'd get listen to everyone in England that could play a guitar. But here we are with this lost. Mid range at best. A song by stone roses came on after this and it was like a breath of fresh air. I hate stone roses.

The music is incredible, they truly love music. Feels like an Oscar winning soundtrack of a fake band invented by a music critic in the best way possible. I can't stand their annoying chipmunk voices though.

I waited in line at midnight for this album and I love me some Radiohead, this album relistening to it years later it feels like it lacks an immediacy of there later albums yet all the anxiety and depression is gone that made their earlier albums so groundbreaking to me as a anxiety ridden depressed 20 something. That being said when the jambs come they come at 100. I think this is about the time I got into electronic music and this doesn't disappoint. The slow songs just feel like dead weight though.

Singles are good. Love Iggy pop as a person, but some of these songs get repetitive.

If his band didn't go on to make one of the best selling albums of all time, would this be relevant?

Sounds like Ringo starr leading the Ramones. Every time I have to listen to these post punk albums I listen to a Kyle minogue album after because I know whoever picked these albums would just hate it.

The lyrics are so over the top. And so earnest. But it's adorable

It's a great album but the lead singers accused transgressions taints their stuff a bit for me.

Boredom on repeat

Why have I only heard the hits? Great album. Timbaland at his best too. Before he became a parody of himself.

It feels important. Like kids should learn about it in school. As music itself, I don't know. Some day I'll listen to it again

Clearly these are some talented musicians, but I just can't into the music they actually play.

It's like if Tom Petty and the heartbreaker's made an album in the style of death cab for cutie. I'll probably listen to them again

I stupidly checked and I'm not even half way through all these Elvis Costello albums yet. This one is the worse so far. He leans into his whiny voice. Clearly this author was the height of cool in 1979. Unfortunate for the rest of us.

White men playing middle of the road blues music. Layla is alright.

I love the grooves but the songs feel either too long or too short. Bet it would have been amazing live...

This is a lot of music. Very much not my style, but it's nice background music. Next time I'm hosting gay men 'of a certain age' I know my soundtrack now.

Best post punk album I've listened to on this list so far... Still never listen to it again
