Pretty gener-ock, no hits to speak for either. But some catchiness here and there. Not garbage, but not ground breaking.

It was surprising, the first song of the album was pretty thematically different from the rest of it. It put me on my heels in trying to pin down a genre, but honestly, I really enjoyed what started playing in the auto-generated playlist after the end of the album. So while I don't know what it was, I'm pretty sure I like it, haha.

Great writing and musical composition for this album. Powerful voice, she deserves the flowers she's received.

It was aight, I can see how he had a broad appeal, but I think it just doesn't hit the blues space with much musical novelty. He had a unique vocal style with that, it's kind of a depressed Elvis thing. But it wasn't up my alley.

Holy shit, now this whole album is iconic. The previous days have been collections of songs by artists. This album is an album of songs that play into each other, recurring themes and high-to-low energy transitions. Thom Yorke really made waves that appeared in other artists. I'm giving it 5 stars because it truly is one of the greatest of its kind.

Good album, one true hit song.

That was a great little discovery. It wasn't listed on Spotify, unfortunately, so the experienced may have suffered from the commercial breaks on YouTube. Altogether, I enjoyed it a lot, the sound was soulful and occasionally funky rock with a flair for the melodramatic. The first three songs on the album left me wondering what box to put this artist into, then it hit its peak with Love and Affection, but I was totally in on the vibe by the end. It was good, not great, so I can see how this artist flew under most people's radars. But I would not be surprised at all to see a charting hit happen with the right cover of any one of the songs.

Very catchy, good groves, and psycho killer is a certified timeless banger

I already knew that I liked a few songs from this album, primarily 1979. Overall, I'm not a big fan of the sound of the vocalist. I can definitely see how it influenced artists that followed and it's an interesting inflection point between punk/grunge into emo, post punk, and alternative rock. I probably can't give it a fair evaluation since I don't enjoy their specific sound. I can't say whether the album had much of a flow to it either, since I kept getting interrupted while listening to it at work. 2 out of 5 stars, I get it, but it ain't for me.
