Though at the start I was kinda into it, it falls flat by the end. Their sound isn't that fresh, I thought of many other bands while listening, vut the bigger crime is that it all sounds the same in the end. Im not that into it

It aged, and the record is kind of messy and too big. The start is great, and there are many cool things and ideas, and I'd say that it should be heard but in its entirety ? No, not really. I dare anyone to argue that there are no skips here.

There are good things, very cohesive, catchy, he sings quite well. I just find the whole thing not that impactful, its nice and well made, enjoyable, I don't now if it's a must listen

Its at times great, and always very easy to listen to. The latter half is however a little less strong, a bit more repetitive, and I don't think its forging a new path of sound. However, I was moved, I felt the beauty and that is enough sometimes

While I appreciate this record, and everything it's trying to do it does sound a bit messy and all over the place. They are great songs in there, they are also some duds and some quite dated songs. Probably, with a lot of listening I'd get into it, loved the cross for example, but as a whole it's not my vibe, and I tried it several times.

Had this album been more recent I probably would have rated it lower, I didn't enjoy it all that much in truth. That is mostly because I wasnt surprised and today it seems like very conventional music. It seems to me quite foundational, hence why out of respect and also because it's not bad either, a 3

I know this already, but the first thing I noticed upon revisiting it is the full diversity of sounds. I think it's a lot to chew on, and it goes to beautiful places, but it is also not the longest record so my ear was interested and never tired. My main gripe is that at times, I think it's a bit disjointed, cause it's not structured in a typical way (in particular the songs themselves) and that can throw me off a bit. But yeah the poetry, the vision, the expertise in sound, her voice that is so fucking delectable, and she is incredible.

It depends I guess on how much you enjoy jazz and honey vocals. I do, very much so. But there, it turns off the critical analytical brain, and I'm immediately in a candle lit atmosphere. And you can say whatever you'd like about it being elevator music or whatever, but that's a ride to the top of sexyness, and you, angry little sad sack, are left behind.

Be reasonable, this is not the strongest debut of the greatest band of all time, nor is it garbage. I fear reason as no place here, where anyone can be a "critic", but this has hooks, punchy lyrics, and a point of view. I also am well aware that they do sound the same, that they are not the first to produce this sounds, probably only the most well known. Good but average, just because this is "teenager music" does not mean you can shit on it.

Beautiful and some of his all time best. I don't think it's without skips though, but very few feel accessory

I don't think the live part adds much, and obviously the album does sound all over the place

Ok, so that is quite bland and repetitive. It sounds quite dated too, and for prog rock I would have expected innovative things, but I wasnt interested. I can listen to it though.

Great often, but it does get very ballady by the end, and some of them aren't as strong as others. We run into an issue of the album sounding a bit one note. But there highlights, like Romling in the Deep, the sound of her voice at the get go is booming and full of emotion and I was thoroughly impressed. It is also not revolutionary, but not everything has to be to be good.
