Personally, for me, Dummy was a pretty average listen. If you love this album to pieces and think it's one of the greatest albums of all time I have no problem with that, but for me, it's just kinda pretty good. In this album's defense, I think it ends on a pretty high note. I think everything from Roads to Glory Box is pretty great, it's just getting through the kind of sluggish and occasionally dull beginning and middle that makes it hard for me to say that I loved this. Here's what I'll do: I'm gonna listen to some more stuff, and I'll circle back to this in a day or two and give it a second listen, because the album growing on me toward the end does give me hope that perhaps the album will grow on me too, but for now, this is my rating, and my review. Hopefully when I return we'll be talking about this in a more positive light.
