It's drastically more melodic than the previous two albums, and Morrissey tones down the nasal vocals and even the overly depressive lyrics, which makes this album much more listenable and fun. So very groovy and greatly arranged.

A uniquely charming sound, paired with depressive lyrics and very intricate, unorthodox melodies.

A darker and eerier version of The Doors self-titled debut. Such a consistent track list, excluding the interlude, but I did find the mixing a bit crooked on the track ''Strange Days''.
Such an interesting and groovy record. Some weird but amazingly pleasant time signatures, and a sound you won't find anywhere else. Very enjoyable.

Absolutely revolutionary for its time. To come up with this in the 1960's in genuinely mind-boggling.
Such an overhated record, it's so soulful and fun, silly but also serious.
Absolute classic.

Such a beautifully weird album. The sound is very trippy and innovative. It's a whole experience. Loved it.

Very consistent record, but it's very similar to their debut LP, and doesn't offer anything surprisingly new.

Powerhouse of a record, though track 1 and 3 fall short a bit.

As much as there are great highs, there are also lows. Some obviously unfinished songs, and some singles are even changed a bit, only for the worse. Anyhow, it's not a bad record and it's totally better than both the Vultures albums.

One of the best debut R&B albums ever. D'Angelo on ''Voodoo'' is the biggest mix of Ronald Isley and Prince imaginable, with a hint of Marvin Gaye. The lyricism is very enjoyable, and the songs are complete and full, all of them fit greatly within the record. The basslines are so wonderful on this album, great job from Palladino. Overall, incredibly catchy and smooth. Whiskey and butter, that's the album.

Though it doesn't leave the comfort zone of Travis's debut album ''Rodeo'', and lacks overall execution and direction, it's still a respectable album.
Very impressive trap record. Absolute classic.

Such a catchy, playful and fun record.

Sophisticated and sensual record, it's just a bit too repetitive near the end though.

Perfect representation of an album. Nothing falls short. The sound design and arrangement are just extraordinary, everything goes together, even if it shouldn't - like ''Grace'' and ''So Real''. The album is not only deeply melancholic, sad, and eerie, but also aggressive and expressive, most notably on ''Eternal Life''. Simply a wonderful album. Amazing.

Solid record with some great hits. Do think that ''Dizzy Miss Lizzy'' is greatly misplaced, and holds away this LP from a perfect closer, which is ''Yesterday'', of course.

Very creative and maximalist to the fullest jazz fusion.
