Guay. Me recuerda a Evan Dando

Not sure what's so special about this one.

Bluesy punk music. Not really my thing. 4/10.

meh, didn't enjoy it.

Not a great album or sound objectively speaking, but I enjoyed it subjectively as a cult classic and as an influence on the punk that I enjoy.

An amazing cross between Doors-style rock and proto-punk

I love this album. First heard Pablo Picasso on college radio 10ish years ago and immediately thought - "What is this??" Since then, the album has become a favorite - love all of the Boston references, storytelling, etc. Favorite songs are Pablo Picasso, Hospital, I Wanna Sleep in Your Arms, Old World (but really love all of them)

Buen disco de pre-punk, pero sin excesos

I thought it was all right musically but a bit weird lyrically: kind of ironically awkward, but just enough to be uncomfortable. It might be an "important" album but I don't think it's enjoyable.

I find them kind of annoying overall, to be honest. I realized it's part of the idea probably, but I really only enjoyed a couple tracks.

well, this isn't fair, because jonathan richman is a bit of a hometown hero, and the state's favorite song appears on this album twice...but yeah, i liked it. strongly reminiscent, unsurprisingly, of the velvet underground, but still its own thing.

This guy 'sing's like a true doucher, but the music is pretty good.

this grew on me, was a lil drony but I liked the slow ones. pretty cool ‘hospital’ was so nice and sad. bit repetitive tho.

Proto-punk, dat heb ik even opgezocht. Hier en daar wat gelijkenis met the Doors qua geluid en muziek, maar dan een tikkie anders. Zangstijl is kenmerkend, hou ik wel van. Roadrunner en Pablo Picasso (die kende ik al wel) springen eruit.

Was not gone on it, not really into that proto punk stripped down sound

@@@. A couple of nice songs, sometimes weird singing.

Ensikuuntelulla tästä jäi vähän sekavat fiilikset. Onneksi kuitenkin annoin vielä ensin yhden, ja lopulta varmaan noin viisi lisäkuuntelua paremmalla keskittymisellä. Tämähän olikin lopulta aivan hemmetin vangitsevaa tykittelyä. Eräs listan positiivisimmista yllätyksistä toistaiseksi. Vaikkei ihan viiden tähden kokonaisuus olekaan, niin varmasti lähempänä vitosta kuin kolmosta. Erityismaininnan ansaitsisi useampikin kappale mutta mieleen jäi varsinkin Hospital sekä David Bowien myöhemmin coveroima Pablo Picasso.

I should love this because I love that dude Jonathan but just no.

Feels punk rock, but doesn't thrash, I really enjoyed this one.

Classic Boston album. Probably enjoyed most "Hospital" and "Dance with me"

Not a good singing performance, almost slurrish singing, uninspiring and monotonous music

I enjoyed this album. A lot of similarities with Velvet Underground and The Doors. Sleepy punk.

Enjoyably, more so than velvet underground. Quite a distinct twang in the guitar sound which was nice

This is probably the worst album I've ever listened to in recent memory. The vocals are like a drunk / strung out Jim Morrison, just slurring his words and not giving a shit. It was like a train wreck in slow motion. I have no original thoughts about this album, but neither did the artist when they were making it. I'm angry I spent almost an hour listening to this trash. A dumpster filled with the days expired produce on fire could make better music than this nightmare. Just unoriginal, uninspired, gutter trash. I could make a poop that would sound better than this. Fuck. Fuck these guys. Fuck whoever put this shit on this list.

love this

Proto punk, American that somehow sounds British.

I really REALLY enjoyed this album. The very best of protopunk, you can hear the seeds of the Ramones, Sex Pistols, Violent Femmes, and more. Loved it. Full marks.

Why is this here?

Decent proto punk
