I love Neil’s music but not his voice. Still, a good album with lots of great blues-rock guitar work.

I understand why this album was important but it’s not for me.

What a pleasant surprise! Never heard of the band or album and now I want to hear more. Deep, atmospheric, complex rock with great production and clever lyrics. Great find!

Fantastic album! I was familiar with the first and last songs but not the rest. A relaxing downtempo electronic journey that could serve as a film soundtrack.

Ugh. I’ve never been a Bruce fan and this album removes the E Street Band, the one thing I like about his music. It’s basically Bruce doing an acoustic country album. Not for me.

From the description I was expecting way more horns. They were really only present for the first song. More punk than the wiki blurb would have lead me to believe. Still a good album.

A great “female rage” album. 90’s alt/grunge with clever lyrics. Good album!

I grew up in this era and I saw them live once (at Lollapalooza where they stole the show from the Smashing Pumpkins) and they were amazing but I can’t bring myself to like them. I will never seek out one of their albums. Clever music and lyrics, good rhymes, but the voices! I just can’t listen to them for more than a few songs without taking a break. Respect the hell out of them but don’t want to listen to them.

Very pleasant surprise! A damn good album! Honestly, the only song I didn’t like was the one that mashed in “Amazing Grace”, as it just seemed out of place.

Ugh. Two country albums in a row. I hate country but have been pleasantly surprised by the albums I’ve been assigned from the genre. Not this time. This is all the things I don’t like about country: whiny, twangy, no lyrical substance and a steel guitar that sounds like a theremin. No, thank you.

I hate country but this is OLD country so it’s bearable. No terrible songs and some funny lyrics ai it was a pleasant surprise.

I like grunge but I’m not a big Nirvana fan. I feel like the great songs on this album are canceled out by the Kurt screaming tracks. The album is great for its impact, not its substance.

Meh. Lots of Lennon screaming. No bad songs but nothing to get excited about either.

Man, what a great album! I was familiar with the hits but not the rest. I had no idea it was a double album and had no idea the variety on it. Definitely worth another listen!

I was surprised to learn this came out in 79! I always thought of them as an 80’s band. Fun album! I was only familiar with “Rock Lobster” but there isn’t a bad song on the album!

Meh. Boring album. Not a single song to get excited about. Not terrible music, just…generic.

I’ve never understood why people hold this album in such high regard. The great tracks are really great but about half the songs are B-side level. It really needed some fat trimmed from it.

I grew up with this album. Electronic music really hit its stride in the late 90’s and NoW was a huge part of laying the groundwork for what was to come in the downtempo, dub and ambient genres. Excellent album!

I feel like I leave this review a lot, but this album was good, clean rock and roll. Nothing to dislike but nothing to get too excited about.

I was liking the sound so I went and found the English version so I could understand the lyrics. Fun album!
