At its worst a bit dull, but at best you could see why it inspired Bruce Springsteen.

Driving stoner space rock.

A good live album makes you feel wish you went, and this would have been an amazing show.

Better than average 80s synth rock

Queen at their heaviest and most proggy. Not as good as Led Zeppelin, but still pretty good.

Fun punk rock.

Fun enough 70s rock that's improved by being live. The boys are back in town is enough of a banger to get it to 4.

I've realized I like thrash metal in small doses, but a whole album is mostly too much.

Fine, and some talented people involved, but not very interesting or essential

Not terrible, but does turn into background music very easily

Definitely unessential Elvis Costello, but it's fine.

Very 80s, but has some bangers

It reminds.me of the sort of music you'd hear in an art installation, which fits with the history of this band.

It's always interesting, even if not always enjoyable, and I'd take it over a generic early 70s rock record.

Does meander, but that's kind of the point, and it's still interesting music.

It's pretty clear Ryan Adams is a dick, but he can write a pretty song.

Better than average dumb 80s rock, bit it's still dumb 80s rock.

I enjoyed this more than I thought I was going to. They should be known for more than come on Eileen.

Has three good big songs, one mediocre big song, and otherwise fine.

Kiss are best at big dumb rock, and they still aren't very good at that. Trying to be smart just makes them worse.

The hits are great, but a bit dull after that.

Nick cave and a brilliant crew being deranged.
