most bad albums last for 40-50 minutes
even if those albums you mention have zero good songs this is an improvement in listening to an album with zero good song that last for 144 minutes

in any case Phobia, It’s Hard, Sometime In NYC, Undercover, Black tie White Noise at least have 1 good song. i can’t say this about Sandinista.

Re: Give My Regard to Broad Street. it’s a pointless and perhaps mediocre album but not a bad album. No More Lonely Nights is a really good song and the rest of the album are unremarkable cover of great song. there isn’t much point to listen to the cover over the original but if you are in the mood to hear No More Lonely Nights and then left the rest of the album running you are not going to have a bad time
