I realize that not giving this album a 9 or above may be considered as sacrilege to some, but I think that since I didn't hear this until 95 or so it didn't have the impact on me as it did for the rest of the world back in 88. Hailed as one of the best albums of the 80's, the disc kicks off with 'Teenage Riot' - the most 'song like' song on the album. As the record progresses the vocals are somewhat flat (not that the band ever had the most dynamic range) and the album runs a bit long - but it still is required listening and a gem in SY catalogue. Great art by Gerhard Richter. 'Trilogy' is a masterpiece.

8.5 out of 10
