"Unfortunately most people only see it as "the album that followed Private Dancer" and while Typical Male was a huge hit, nothing else on it approached the same sort of success that the previous album did. But I've always enjoyed the album and think it's almost equal to the predecessor."  Reply

"Queen B is one of my favorite singers today. She is the queen of surprise albums. She had already released "BEYONCE", "Lemonade" or "Everything is Love" without warning, and had completely broken internet.

"the live-sounding production works *really* well. I actually really liked the Teenage Jesus songs here, moreso than in their own records. like there's a really light viscerality to it that works really, really well.

"When I had a late-night radio show, I could put on Alice's Restaurant, run down the hall to use the bathroom, and be back with plenty of time. Nobody tells a tongue-in-cheek yet politically biting yarn like Arlo. Don't overlook the Motorcycle Song either."  Reply
