Definitely hit or miss. An interesting blend of trip-hop, hip-hop, downtempo and soul. On the surface, that sounds like I would love it but I only liked about half the songs.

I had liked the few songs of theirs I had heard but was generally unfamiliar with them. Great album to start with! Not a single bad song. Good clean rock ‘n’ roll

Great alt-rock hipster anthem album.

like flipping channels on a rock ‘n’ roll TV. Was any song longer than 2 1/2 minutes?

French/Belgium crooner performing live? Not exactly a must listen to me.

Much better than the previous album, “Trans Europe Express.” More variety, more depth and much more attention to melodies.

A band I had somehow slept on. Got assigned “The Soft Bulletin” a few months back and loved it. Went down the rabbit hole and listened to a bunch of their albums. I haven’t listened to all of them yet, but Yoshimi is my favorite so far. I’ve listened to it several times and was perfectly happy to get it assigned on a lazy Thanksgiving morning. It’s a beautiful album full of unique texture. Lyrically goofy but somehow poignant at the same time. Fantastic production, so it’s a fun ride through headphones.

Not a huge fan of early Beatles albums. I feel like they became the Beatles we know and love when they started doing drugs. This album is OK. Only one real standout song. Good production, but nothing to get excited about.

Stream of consciousness rock ‘n’ roll. No other way to describe it.

I have never been a Bruce fan and if this album is considered his best then I know I never will. Not even the E Street band’s best. Only a few good songs on the album and Bruce still manages to sound like someone’s drunk uncle while singing on those.

Amazing album. It’s probably been at least a decade since I’ve listened to it, so it was great to hear it again!

Damn good album! Definitely one of my favorites from that era.

Classic 90s alternative pop. Hadn’t listened to the entire album in a long time so it was very nostalgic.

Not my favorite by them but definitely worth a listen. The violin added some interesting depth to a few of the songs. King Crimson is very hit or miss for me. The songs that hit are amazing and the songs that miss are a little tedious.

Might be my least favorite Bowie album. Lots of atmosphere but not a lot of Bowie. I get that it’s him experimenting with electronic music but almost half of it is instrumental. Not exactly what I’m looking for from a Bowie album.

Meh. A little boring, honestly. My husband and wife team were alternating singing duties and her songs were better but still nothing to get excited about

British reggae? I mean, that’s essentially what this was. Not bad but not something I would seek out on my own.

Had not heard of them but glad I did it. It’s like a classic rock version of ELO. Definitely worth a listen.

Good album, especially for a debut. Not as polished as some of their other work, but I guess that’s to be expected. Definitely worth another listen.

Fantastic blend of funk and soul. Great album!
