Definition one hit wonder
has a couple OK songs. mostly just noise
not my cup of tea at all really. Only song I liked was Sowing Seeds
I'm okay with quiet rock, I'm okay with noise (love Nine Inch Nails!), but this was terrible. Maybe relevant in its time, but I'm fine to never listen again.
I appreciate this was a very important album, the dawn of shoegazing. It even got 'best debut album of 1985' in one list and makes lots of other lists put together by music journos of the time, trying to jump on the next bandwagon and not caring whether it sounds good just as long as it's new and hip. Admittedly it is strangely hypnotic and some of it is very good, but overall it just feels like a walI of sound fell on my head. A lot of it is also just unlistenable. 1985 must have been a really bad year for new artists.
Not good to be honest. I listened to Aretha Franklin afterwards. Now she can sing 😍
too grungy for me

nope
Oh look, it's the band Stone Roses always wanted to be. I enjoy neither of them. It all seems a bit aimless, going nowhere, just plodding along with not much life in it.
This one didn’t really do it for me. Shame!
