The first time i listened to it, i didn't get it. I listened to it again and thought it was weird and I didn't like it. I listened to it again because its on so many greatest albums lists. I still didn't like it. I then started listening to great albums and eventually (a year or two later) came back to this one and it made sense. It was brilliant and beautiful. I felt like a fool for hating it for so long.

Way better than Unknown Pleasure and very emotionally draining considering the subject matter and the events that took place before the album was released.

Nice one, but too much of a kind of music which is not my favourite.
