I am not sure there is anyone who actually likes reggae and if there is I am not sure I want to meet them. I suppose this inclusion on the List has some merit, as the album probably has some notable influence. Still, doesn't mean that I have to enjoy it.
I even felt a little creepy listening to this one, as though it was something that a sleazy guy would put on in hopes of tempting a woman to have sex with him. I had it on in the background while I wrote, and it wasn't quite as grating as I expected it to be. I guess that's a positive although if the nicest thing I can say about an album is that it wasn't quite as obnoxious as I imagined, it's not that great of music.
So a rather steep dip in quality from Tom Waits the other day. Hopefully, The Teardrop Explodes has more to offer.
RATING: 2/5
