Other than sounding more western and the cool production choices here and there I still see this as a a pretty generic 80's pop album with a Japanese vocalist. Nothing about this caught my interest or fancy unfortunately.

Some decent Alt Rock/country. Nothing too impressive but doesn't waste your time. I warmed up in time to like a few of the songs ear the end but even then it wasn't anything too significant.

I feel like I am part of a demon worshiping cult in an iron works factory with all the fires on full blast. It's great!

A bit of a throwback to the golden days of Psychedelia with the flair of the 80's add some funk to it with a hint of David Bowie and you gain the ability to go around the world in just a single day! This album has a strong start with the first three tracks being SO my vibe and while it falters a bit afterwards there still enjoyment to be had just not as much. Thankfully we are back in gear for the fantastic final two songs to finish the album! Overall I had a good to great time with this. If ... read more

I yawned at least five times listening to this.

And so everyone decided to wear all black including dying their hair that color. Emo is officially born. This is still basically a strange brand of hardcore punk but I guess it has enough elements that will evolve into the formal composition in time.

It's very Irish and Elvis Costello produced it. Also St Patties day is only a couple days away. I also got some Irish blood in me and there's a lot of clovers growing in my yard. I don't drink but I feel like grabbing a jug and singing shanties at the local bar while guzzling away the good shit. I didn't care much for this album tho.

I got such a strange feeling listening to this. It's like one of those ai videos with like an anime character singing a genre not really associated with that kind of voice but this shit is actually real and I am listening to it feeling like I am in an alternate universe or something. It certainly was interesting, but I don't think I will be coming back to it.

What an absolute jaw dropping stunner of an album full of MASTERFUL composition from classic pop songs revered to this days, to the song that made me tear up and well up in emotion for the first time in months "Why Worry" It's just all such a wonder to properly witness this classic album for the first time I am absolutely ASTONISHED! It's an easy front runner for my personal AOTY of 1985 and it's going to be hard to top! If by chance you haven't listened to this masterpiece then I ... read more

I kinda agree with another review in saying that this is pretty uninspired and wasn't all that interesting listening through with the exception of a couple tracks that did little to improve the experience though I did appreciate the relief from the monotony they provided

Listening to this on a Thursday afternoon hits different. I swear I didn't plan on this coincidence it's just how the stars aligned. But seriously it's Brian Eno, it's ambience, you know what you're going to get from this LP. Mildly interesting sounds and a lot of relaxed vibes. It's very nice and gentle and doesn't stray from the path. I found the experience nice but nothing more or less and it's exactly what I expected it to be. Not the best Eno but not the worst.

It's cheesy, it's lovey dovey, and it's great! Arianna and Mariah WHO?! Jkjk they are all amazing vocalists and are the greatest of their time and I don't care to join in on the debate of who's the best. I will say tho that this album was very beautiful and very easy on the ears despite it feeling a bit mainstream and radio friendly. Nothing wrong about that I just noticed that its easy bait for those mediums to pounce and make big bucks out of.

I wouldn't blame them either it's got all the ... read more

Absolutely fascinating! I didn't really get it at first but on the track "Film" it just clicks for me. FYI I was listening to the extended version so I basically had a double albums worth of music to digest and even through the hour and thirteen minutes runtime I didn't get the impression that this was bloated though I was too immersed into the atmosphere too really notice or care about petty stuff like that. What matters is that I really enjoyed myself with this and once you get used ... read more

The edgy 12 year old me that thinks swear words are hilarious and the more offensive the funnier would absolutely LOVE this crazy ass album. I am twice that age now and while the extreme edge played off for laughs gets crickets out of me I still had a smirk or two out of the sheer ridiculous fun these guys must of had making this stupid album. So I can't be to mad at this. They knew what they wanted and went all out, which earns my reluctant respect though I would prefer they be a bit more ... read more

I enjoyed the instrumental track "Ribbed and Veined" and the other three songs were decent but failed to leave much of an impression. Overall it was an ok EP.

Not the best or innovative prog rock out there. The voice while solid does hold back from feeling the messaging of the album. And while enjoyable enough the production doesn't do that much either. Regardless I did enjoy the two long tracks with many titles and Heart of Lothian. It's a solid experience and I really appreciate how cohesive and smooth the first half of the album was but it all just doesn't add up quite enough for me to consider it an overall "good" experience even though ... read more

Eh. Got nothing from this. The baby song was silly enough I guess and it definitely stood out. But yeah this is just background music for me.

On the [REDACTED] day the Lord blessed the world with Death Metal. Even though many just see it as just thrash being dramatic it's still the start of a metal subgenre regardless. I was meh on this one.

It's a pretty generic city pop album that doesn't do anything particularly memorable.

While I doubt that I'll remember this album past today I still found it a fascinating experience.
