Not for me. Super repetitive. There’s a joke in this that stops being funny by the 3rd song.

I was so into Mr. Wendel as a kid I convinced my parents to get this for me from Columbia House.

But I think this was the first time I’ve listened to the whole record. And it’s fine. Not as good as ATCQ or De La Soul - but similar in feel.

My guess as to why this has such a low rating is that there is a female singer and it’s Queer as hell.

This gave off the same vibe as Le Tigre, the Knife and Peaches.

When I was a kid and this record came out I made an interpretative dance to Mysterious Ways.

Some things are better forgotten - you’ve been warned. . . Baby.

I think if they weren’t French I probably wouldn’t have liked this as much as I did. Was bit long.

All Kraut. No Saur.

An artist I’ve never heard of before. I was into his sound most of the time. There was enough there to make me interested in listening to more of his stuff.

A not very interesting early aughts UK hip-hop/R&B record. Perhaps the thing it has going for it is that it is different from what was dominant style of hip-hop at the time of its release?

Really get the feeling that Frank Zappa was skewering Boomers decades before it was cool.

“I will now sell five copies of The Three E.P.'s by The Beta Band.”

I dig Willie - I did have to check and see if the record was over several times because of the repeated theme song throughout.

I would have loved this if it was like 30 or so minutes. The hour plus run time made the middle of this really drag.

However - there’s some good tracks on this.

I dug this. Truth be told I’d heard a lot of these tracks before, but I’ve never sat and listened to the full album.

There’s something about how Nick’s breathy, ethereal voice goes with the right side of the border of camp backing horns that just makes this for me.

Stone cold near perfect neo-soul. This record almost 30 years on still sounds fresh.

This guy’s real sore about his relationship with his mother.

There’s a kitsch value to a song vaguely about chess. Yes leans more on the side of pop than pure prog rock. Still - not my favorite and not one I’m going to want to listen to again.

Nothing wrong with this. Classic soul/funk.

Prog Rock is a fucking joke. If I want to listen to flute solos I’ll watch Anchorman again.

Nope.

More glam than hair metal. Was a fun listen!
