Many good songs, but the filler is really filler. It's a 3.5.

Never heard before. Enjoyed. Will listen again.

How many stars can one man give when an album like this is so real? How many stars can one guy give when he just can't express how he feels?

Who wants the funk?

I may have listened to this album once or twice when it came out, but probably didn't. Why would I have to? So many of the songs became singles and were everywhere on the radio, just right to make fun of. So many years later, sitting down listening end to end for possibly the first time, I was amazed at how coherent a statement it was and how much I enjoyed it.

Perfect album

Never heard this whole album, just Champagne, Subnova, and Wonderwall. It was good overall, but doesn't surpass those two songs.

So much fun

This album and Van Morrison have always been around me, but I never stopped and really listened. There's not a misplaced note on this album. The production is so clean, the instrument so distinct, and the music is so compelling.

I kind of dig it (what was it?)

Very difficult to listen to.

Never heard of them, but liked them a lot. Had a lot of energy.

My favorite Leonard Cohen with "I'm Your Man", a close second. Such a great, powerful album.

I forgot that I had it on.

I like some Steely Dan, and I like "Ricky Don't Lose That Number," but this album, I think this is the first time I heard this album in full. Overall, it fell flat to me. Maybe it's too much in the pocket. I either like the looser earlier stuff or the super refined later stuff. Not sure this is the one.

I feel like there's not enough Elvis Costello on this list...

Just kidding. Actually, this is the only Costello album that speaks to me, but man, does it speak to me. Nearly every song is a banger.

Had to listen on YouTube. No fun. But if this were on Apple Music I would listen again.

Love everything CCR does

Pretty sure this was the third hip-hop album I ever bought after Run-D.M.C.'s "Raised in Hell" and the Beastie Boys' "License to Ill." The first one I bought on CD. The first one that talked about real issues and also presented a sonic landscape I'd never heard before. I have not heard this album in full in decades, so happy to revisit it again.

Great album. Need to listen again. We'll possibly raise to a 5
