I can only speak for myself. I find it very emotional, dramatic and a little scary in its variations.
That's about as far as I can describe it in English.

'Suggestive' may not have been the right word - it is 'suggestiv' in Swedish (dramatic, exciting).

Yes. The 10th was thought to be Shostakovich's celebration of the death of Stalin, his nemesis.

I appreciate this interpretation - Shostakovich: Symphony No. 10 / Dudamel · Simon Bolivar Youth Orchestra of Venezuela

I just picked up this music on youtube - not so special perhaps but different.

Thanks for sharing. The 5th is one of my favorites. Have you listened to all 15?
