Another good Depeche Mode album, think there are now 3 on the user list, I would rank this above Soeak and Spell, but still not the same
League as violator.

I gave downward spiral a 5, this doesn’t quite match up but still worthy of the list and an album that needs listening to.

Fully expecting an Eminem parody album with the cover and artist name, thankfully it was better than that.

Yes absolutely love this, it’s finding these sorts album every once in a while what keeps me going with this user list 2 year on.

Would have loved this in the 90’s but feel this will be one of those albums iv forgot all about next week.

One of those albums I liked when I was 14, but doesn’t really land with me now. But still think we could make room for it on the list.

I didn’t rate crime of the century highly on the original list. I feel I need to compensate for that with this rating. This to me is peak supertramp and an album ahead of its time, but maybe that shows I prefer more accessible music.

Never seen the show so this album just didn’t land with me.

Good fun jazz fusion album. Great album cover and just a feel good album great choice.

Didn’t do it for me

Got a feeling I’ll have forgotten everything about this album come next week.

An album I didn’t pay much attention to when it came out, listening back now this is better than I expected,and different enough from last gaga’s early work it probably deserves a place on the list.

First Indian heavy metal album I’ve listened to. I actually really enjoyed this, not a massive metal head but the short running time meant this didn’t outstay its welcome.

Sorry but MCR have always been a band I disliked.

A really good reggae album, I’d take this on the orginal list.

Really enjoyed this, loved the early metal influence and how dark this album feels.

After doing the full 1001+ original list and now 500+ user picks, this is easily the most pretentious and inaccessible album I’ve come across, and I fucking love it.

Having Sonos made it pretty easy to set up as intended, but I can totally see why it flopped back in 1997.

With the effort put in though, the payoff is unreal. I honestly can’t remember the last time a first listen put such a big smile on my face, the drums on March of the Rotten Vegetables are just ridiculous.

I gave The Soft Bulletin and Yoshimi 4 stars, but on sheer uniqueness and ambition (and the fact it probably only fully works now, 30 years later, with multi-room speakers), this has to be a 5.

That said, if you just throw it on normally and listen to the 4 albums back to back, you’ll probably think it’s a 1/2 album at best.

Good fun hair metal, don’t take this music too seriously. Great cover of halter skelter

Prefer Gorlliaz earlier stuff to this.

Not my cup of tea but appreciate this
