Pros:
Melodic choices are consistently interesting and adventurous, dipping into some exotic scales with finesse and creating some excellent lead guitar parts
Rhythm section is absolutely locked in, accenting key beats superbly and excelling via some satisfying drum parts and bass lines
Performances benefit from a great sense of spontaneity and humanity, relishing in its looseness and feeling unfiltered in its emotional content
Cons:
Lead vocals are a complete let down, being consistently off-pitch and throwing awfully awkward timbres into the fold
Mix is unbelievably dry and empty, sabotaging many moments and killing the record's sense of momentum
Best: Marquee Moon
Worst: Venus
7/10 Album cover is a travesty though
