I don't see the problem with it. "Dated?" As in "passé" or old hat? Well, I listen to Jazz and Doo-wop from the 50s so that's makes this album twenty years in future for me. This album is amazing, it's a work of art.

Hey, me and Ant liked it!

You called it cheese. That's kinda like signally to both camps, those who liked it and those can't appreciate it. It was a serious endeavor, in my humble and honest opinion. It's no way near the cheesiness as Dum Dum Diddle by ABBA, ironically released the same year 1976 - the year of US Bicentennial and cheesy music. It was a million times better than that stinky Limburger band Kiss. This album was body building whey protein, it wasn't cheese.

I don’t think that cheese means bad. I like early AC/DC, too, and that’s cheesy as hell. I like metal as a genre, which is unequivocally ridiculous, at least for the most part. I’m a fan of cheese.

I didn't care about the album when it was originally released and I still don't care about it now, but for the time it was a game-changer in mainstream, hard rock.

Well played, written, sung, and produced.

Even though it's not my cup of sonic brew, I'll give it a respectable 8.5/10

I'll never forget that random YouTube comment I once read about the man whose wife was dying in hospital. Her name was Marianne, and he would sit by her bedside every day and hold her hand. One day he was just too tired to stay awake, so he closed his eyes for a nap, and during that time, Marianne slipped away. Fiction or no, that's a beautiful, heartbreaking story.

The rest of the album is pedestrian get-down rock-out af. Looks like they accidentally criticalled on their songwriting check with the first track. I went and took a dump in the middle of the last song. Not sure if it was just coincidence or if the song filled me with the urge to defecate.

6/10
