One complaint i hear is that the album is too plodding, but I think that adds to the experience of it, instead of taking it away. There are some really good songs here. I've alre..."  [+]  Reply

"Shame that the limits of vinyl meant there is a fade in/out between each of the 2 performances. It does diminish the natural progress of the music. Recording quality really poor, no better on CD than the original vinyl. Still def. worth buying"  Reply

"This is a nice album. I'm surprised it's so low on the year chart, especially compared to arriana grande and billie eilish. Imo this is much better than either of those albums. Only time will tell if I'm still listening to this in months and years"  Reply
