Fantastic album! It’s like the female version of Beck’s “Sea Change”!

I was only familiar with the first song but the rest of the album was very similar to that song. It’s wild, purposely rough around the edges and crass. The guitar work is amazing, but some of the lyrics are unlistenable.

Amazing album that I grew up listening to but I have a hard time putting myself in that headspace now. Trent is a brilliant musician and this album is his opus but by the end you just want to say “come on, man, just slit your wrist and get it over with.”

Clean beats, good production, good rhymes. A classic.

Lots of potential. Interesting soundscape, good production, good mix of rock and electronic but a few songs got very repetitive and tedious.

Beautiful album. Amazing production and songwriting. I’m never going to seek out ABBA but I was perfectly happy to listen to this album in its entirety.

Classic old school rock and roll. Crisp, piano driven bluesy tracks that are all under 3 minutes. How can you hate it?

Not what was expecting! Lots of 80s classics but lots of good, fun tracks and some deep cuts too!

Like most albums from this time period: some good songs, some rough around the edges songs. This album had more of the latter.

I despise country but this is country rock, so I managed to slog through it. Not something I’d seek out on my own but I also wouldn’t hate it playing in the background somewhere (like I would hate country).

Same review I had for Simon and Garfunkel: great songwriting, beautiful songs just boring. I will never say “I really want to hear some Cat Stevens right now.”

Classic album. This came out when I was 13 and it has been in my life ever since. Only a few songs on it that I don’t cherish, and those few are full of hyper sexualized lyrics. It’s the only reason it doesn’t get five stars.

Great album! I listened to it twice. Much deeper and varied than I was expecting.

Jazz meets rock meets Afro-works beats. Definitely worth a listen!

Heard of Sonic Youth but never listened to them. This album was a good place to start. I give it three stars because half of the album came across as brilliant and the other half came across as a little rough around the edges. Still left me with the impression that it is a band worth exploring further.

I would never say “I’m going to put on a George Michael album” but maybe I should! This album was surprisingly good. Not a single bad song and a nice variety of style and pace.

Wasn’t familiar with them. Somehow missed them in the 90s and since I have no nostalgia for this band and album, it was hard to get through. Very pre-grunge alt rock sound but not what I would call quality music.

I was familiar with several of their albums and a few of the songs off this one but had never listened to the whole album. It’s fantastic! Great mix of styles and moods with edgier music than what I’m used to from them.

Very familiar with this album and while I love electronic music, this gets a little tedious. Fat Boy Slim uses the same trick over and over throughout the album. Very formulaic.

I despise country music but, in the spirit of the program, decided to listen to this all the way through. It wasn’t terrible, mainly due to all the songs being under 3 minutes long. Not something I’d listen to again, but not mad about having heard it.
