Listening to music is my full-time job. Rating it is my side hustle.

Taste Snapshot

Not just a great album — a cultural touchstone.

Good album that suffers a bit from inconsistency. The highs are worth it though.

I can hear why this was praised at the time — the production was clearly ahead of the curve, and there are a few genuinely innovative moments. But stripped of its historical context, this is a pretty uneven listening experience. The first third is strong, the middle is forgettable, and the back end is a slog. I don't think this is bad by any means, but I do think its reputation has outpaced its actual quality. There are better albums in this genre that get a fraction of the attention. Worth hearing once for context, but I won't be coming back to it.
