Kind of like Hole, but progressive.
This is their masterpiece. It’s dark but melodic, dramatic but punky, danceable but harsh. Exactly how I like it.
This has lovely clangy early New Wave guitars. Was gonna give it four stars but then I realized I never noticed when the album stopped playing so it couldn't actually have been that good.
# Album Name: Juju # Artist: Siouxsie And The Banshees # Rating: 4/5 # Comments: Enjoyable album. Quite dark and gothic. Nice change with female vocalist. First half of the album is much stronger. # Top Tunes: Spellbound / AK / Halloween / monitor / Night shift # Would I listen to it again? Yes
I was expecting a little more punk in this than I got. Its closer to post punk to me at least. Not all that punchy and a bit spacy. The vocals read as punk rock but its backed by slower stuff. Its kinda a weird one. I dont hate it but im also not that into it. Monitor was the only save i got. The rest of it is alright while its on but just not that right for me. Im happy to hear more of them. It feels like this record might just be a fluke. Or maybe i get more of the same but im willing to try. But this one is fine but thats about it. Not more than fine
Bueeee.... Algo bueno tiene el album..
i like the songs individually but i find that i cant listen to multiple back to back without getting slightly irritated/ sick of it. i think it's just her voice gets a little grating after a while. but again i do like the songs
Not sure. I need to rethink my assessment with another listen.
Awesome sound and a dark, eerie and tense atmosphere, as was to be expected looking at the genres. I thought the vocals were really good and I loved the guitar throughout, which was sometimes jangly and other times distorted and blasting great riffs. Favourite songs: Arabian Knights, Monitor, Night Shift, Voodoo Dolly
More women in punk rock please!
Siouxsie's sound is 80s intoxicating
Pretty decent - not overjoyed by her voice but interesting post punk.
Sympa
W c'était super en plus je suis tombé de manière random dessus ce matin juste avant d'écouter l'album
2.7 2x
Sounds kinda whiny and repetitive
Solid punk rock. Just not my jam fam
dont like
Pretty good but not among my favorites
I enjoyed the music. Some of the lyrics were dark
Não curti. Não sou chegado a post punk britânico, com essa sonoridade meio reverberada da guitarra, sei lá. Não me apetece tanto.
It’s been way too long since we got an aggressively mediocre overly British punk album (like 2 weeks) Not the worst, from a musical standpoint there’s some interesting guitar stuff in there and I’d say it’s pretty polished. I like how they’re able to take one of the only things I like about punk (i.e. the lyrics actually having meaning and agendas behind them) and makes it more than listenable. Lots of interesting themes covered in this one Vocals are fine in a vacuum but after almost an hour I got so sick of that singing style. I don’t think the vocalist has a ton of range on this one, which is unfortunate since I thought there’d be enough variety to allow her to showcase everything she has. The last non bonus track (Voodoo Dolly) just sucks, I think it just took everything I didn’t like about this one and condensed it into 7 minutes of slop. My opinion swayed pretty significantly over this one, but I think 3 is the only right answer for this one. Post Punk’s way better than the smorgasbord of regular punk we’re forced to listen to, but I still haven’t been truly wowed by anything the genre has to offer
It's trying to be a little edgy and grungy and alt and all it ends up as is derivative and annoying
Post punk with a female lead. The Pretenders did it better. Not great. I recognized the British sound right away, that Rickenbacker sound. Thought I might be in for something, and then... nothing. Nothing grabbed me. Nothing memorable. I looked up reviews of the band and the album, and they were so far over the top (which I absolutely didn't agree with) it affected my feelings about it here. Was in-between 2 1/2 and 3 1/2, as I traditionally do with Meh kind of bands. Usually that's a 3. The effusive praise for this work was so off that it pushes me all the way down to a 2.
Boring album, but at least it sounds good. It's a calmer album and I can appreciate that, but it was still long to listen to.
I’ll be honest, it was better than I expected it to be. I’m not sure I think it was “good”, but I can definitely see why this band is so influential. On one hand, I cannot stand her voice. I don’t really like the punk affectation in general, so that’s no real surprise. That said, it doesn’t sound out of place. Like, in isolation, it’s garbage, but with the music it sort of fits, if that makes sense. On the other hand, it’s super creative. It definitely sounds like what is: an 80s, punk-inspired, alt-rock, grunge precursor. But what makes it so influential is that this album was released before alt-rock was really a thing and WAY before grunge. I can’t give it a 4 because I didn’t love it and I don’t really need to hear it again, but it almost deserves a 4 for its creativity and its future proofed sound. 3.5
This was good, but not great
Fierce Goth Queen. 3.5 stars, rounding up - the first two songs are Viridian staples. Monitor and Arabian Knights are good too.
Not so sure about Voodoo Dolly, but some good songs and some average songs, but overall a distinctive and appealing presence.
Just ok.
Damn, I should have saved this for Halloween
love its early the cure vibes
I like the singer's voice, everything else is just kind of meh. I just don't think i'm a fan of punk music, which sucks because there are A LOT of punk albums in this list.
Got thru about half of the album. Couldn’t take it any more.
Aside from the first 3 tracks, not a lot to like for me. but 3 good track is still at least 3 stars in my book. OK monitor is a banger, and there's definitely more than just 3 good tracks on here, just not a real postpunk/goth rock kinda guy. 3/5 Top tracks: Spellbound, Into the Light, Arabian Knights, monitor, night shift
Finally something I already love! This has been one of my favorite albums since 2004, when I started getting into goth music as a teen. I think this album is a masterpiece, and I've always felt that the Banshees are underrated (although this is my US-based, way-after-the-fact opinion, so maybe they were fairly rated). It seems most of the attention has been paid to Siouxsie's look, but the music feels unique from what others were doing at the time.
Love. Her. Voice. Always. They’re not quite my genre but a few of these songs are just so iconic and I love her. I need to relisten on a drive, rather than as a soundtrack to packing up in Maine.
There’s something so sinister and irresistible about this sound. I’ve heard ot about this band but admittedly haven’t heard very much. It’s a really intriguing listen – with very haunting vocal work from Siouxsie Soux. I can totally get behind this dark, brooding vibe as a fan of heavier sounding music. They really captured the sound they were going for - and I find it very unique. Top picks: Spellbound, Monitor, Night Shift, Sit In My Heart.
Solid album. I liked side 1 more than side 2 though
Released in the 80's sounding very 60's. Little boring.
Not even close to being their best and should not be considered for this list
7/10 Really strong start to the album, with very cool post-punk tracks. Somewhere around the 4/5ths mark it begins to drag and Voodoo Folly is garbage, but overall I'm glad I heard this
The punk/garage/new wave band persists with a driving and anxious record that's still obviously related to everything from the Sex Pistols and Ramones to Talking Heads and David Bowie. This is an absolutely excellent example of what you could record in the 80's, using new tech (largely guitar effects) and also a DIY ethic. It's real dark but you can still hear its relationship with earlier songs like 'Hong Kong Garden'. There are a lot of good tunes ('Spellbound', 'Into The Light') but 'Monitor really sounds like it was recorded ten or twenty years later. Siouxsie and this album's guitar player (John McGeoch) really innovated, here. The one knock I have on this is that it can drone a little bit. 'Arabian Knights' sounded a little bit stuck to me, in the vocal melody department, and 'Night Shift's closing bars repeat a few too many times. The melodic interest in Siouxsie & The Banshees' work primarily comes from the guitar, I would say. She's an absolute champ of the alternative music scene -- she inspired a lot of early goths, she smashed into a pretty male-dominated scene and she's been a strong performer for more decades than I've lived -- but she's not the world's most interesting writer of melodies. That means that we need to give a lot of credit to the Banshees for keeping the songs compelling, and they do. In addition to Siouxsie Sioux and McGeoch, this one contains the steadfast Steven Severin on bass and the mononymic Budgie (Peter Clarke) thundering away on the drums. McGeoch genuinely influenced a generation or two of great guitar players (everyone from The Edge to Dave Navarro), despite only a two-album stint in The Banshees (though he did also play in Magazine, Visage and Public Image, LTD). Severin remains steady and fully integrated with whatever the band throws at him and Budgie genuinely thunders on the toms. Rhythmically, the album very smoothly shifts in feel and time throughout, often within songs, and is pretty uniformly groovable. The only things that hold this album back for me are the somewhat simplistic vocal melodies and the cold production. Mind you, cold and dark is the intentional vibe of this record and that's been influential. I'm sure Trent Reznor could tell you all about the importance of this album on NIN's sound and that's a worthy reason to spend time with Juju as any other. All the same, my relationship to the pseudo-genre of 'sad people making music in a cave' is not a happy one, so I'm going to ding it a little. I'll call it a 4.4. There's genius at work here and I'll probably buy this on vinyl, one day. It's not going to spark joy everytime, though -- much like psychedelic mushrooms, I've gotta be in a mood to ingest this without undue influence on my state of mind. Must listen, though? Yes.
5: Spellbound, Into The Light, Arabian Nights, Halloween, Night Shift 4: Monitor, Sin In My Heart, Head Cut 3: Voodoo Dolly Classic post-punk songs. Voodoo Dolly kind of sucks though.
Siouxsie and the Banshees is another band that I wish I had discovered when I was younger. I've listened to them before now, but definitely hadn't known about them until I was in my mid-20s. I think my teenage self would have been really into them.
Pretty cool stuff!
pretty good but sounded all the same as siouxsie unfortunately tends to do
Pre Listen: Another band I've heard nothing of in my life. Cool album cover art, poster worthy. No expectations. Notable Tracks: Voodoo Dolly - Least favorite song on the album. Goes on for way too long, is way too repetitive, and becomes just noise after about 2 minutes. Skipped around the 6 minute mark. Post Listen: This was like....maybe the most nothing-burger album I've heard on here since the Ramones. The tracks all blended together for me, nothing really shined, hence not 1 favorite track. This project is teaching me that I really dislike punk music. It's just noise man. The electric guitar is guitaring. The vocalist is vocaling. The drums are drumming. It's rock alright. It's about as interesting as a rock too. If you're into Geology maybe you'd like this album. Boring, 2/5.
all im saying is if you dont like this album we got problems!
SIOUXSIE SIOUX I LOVE YOU I mean come on how good is that voice She has had better stuff in other albums but I’ve been meaning to listen to JuJu. Spellbound and Monitor were gas. B side was okay (Voodoo Dolly was a nice little treat)
Better than I remember. Inventive and bass-heavy, much like the early Cure. Siouxsie is a unique talent, kind of a foundational alternative rock disc, before that was a genre.
Straight 4/5,because is a chill album,but is not my type at all
10/10
Excellent vocals, fantastic melodies with lots of contrast. Repetitive at times. Fun and creative instruments. Brings back memories of music from Florence + The Machine. I quite enjoyed "Spellbound" with it's bright melody and heavy drum use. The album became very abstract towards the end which I wasn't opposed to, until the very last song "Voodoo Dolly".
Wednesday May 27th, 2026. This album was alright. I enjoyed the guitar and drumset parts. I don't really like the singer's voice and most of the songs didn't really resonate with me. It is a good album, just not really for me. 6.5/10.
Song structure can be a little repetitive and the instrumentation could just use a liiittle bit more depth at times. It’s pretty perfect aside from those two things, the lead vocals are pure ear candy and the overall vibe created by the instrumentation that is there overshadows the fact that the song writing is pretty simple. Very consistent.
It feels like a bridge between new wave and shoegaze, which it kinda is. This is one of those bands I've always said I need to listen to more, but never do. I'm glad I did.
I listened to a couple of tracks on repeat. Was nice to listen to while I cleaned. So…it was generally a good album for me.
Never listened much to this band, but they were popular with my high school friends. I like Siouxse's vocal and I really like the guitar work, but together, they're sometimes abrasive, as if competing for space. They work best when each takes a temporary back seat to the other. This is a fun album, but very frenetic, and so very 1980s. :) I was a teenager that decade and worked in a record store, so I had my share (and maybe my fill) of 80s post punk. To be fair, this band was at the forefront, so it's not their fault that later bands copied it to death. There are some great tunes on this album, but I'm not in a space anymore where I want to listen to too much of it. :) 3 stars.
A fun ride that at times feels exactly 80’s and at other times seems to be now classic sounds from the early 2000’s
They can’t keep getting away with this
Is this Siouxsie and the Banshees' best?
This album is dark and haunting, aided by the echoey vocals and unique guitar sounds. It sounded ahead of its time, too. It's opportune I listened to it on a cloudy day, it really added to the spooky Halloween feel.
An underappreciated album from an underappreciated genre during an underappreciated time in music.
Not my cup of tea
spellbound m re gusto, como super motivadora y no baja la energía en ningun momento, siento q re estaría en las ventajas de ser invisible la re pondrian en el tunel. into the light tmb m re gusto, la guitarra es pero increíble lo buena q es, esta m da vibra como a nana siento q nana okomatsu(? la re escucharía y m hace acordar a la voz de ella. siento q tmb como q m re da esa sensación de estarme sumergiéndo en algo q ns si es bueno pero tentador, mas o menos de lo q va la letra.Los sonidos a agregan en general pero mas por el final son muy buenos, le re dan el toque. Arabian Knights es re para drogarse o como para se conciente q tu adolescencia es el único momento en tu vida q t podes permitir cagarla tanto sin q t pase nada. En Halloween m mato el vibrato al final, la re rompen con la guitarra en general, pq el tipo solo en monitor es como nooo q bueno q sos lpm, lo peor es q en la mayoría de las canciones siento q sin la guitarra ni los efectos q le ponen aburriría bastante la canción aunq la chica tiene una forma de cantar q como q t re atrae
This was excellent. Will definitely be keeping this in rotation. I can definitely tell that the new AFI album was inspired by this group for sure!
Oscuro y ambiental, definitivamente eso describe este álbum, sabe muy bien generar esa atmósfera pesada y deprimente típica del post-punk y el rock gótico pero sin perder la energía y el ritmo, teniendo canciones rápidas y con una base rítmica implacable y un trabajo de guitarra exquisito, sin dudas mí favorito del álbum es Spellbound (que ya lo conocía antes) pero descubrí varios más que se van a quedar en mí memoria.
I could never properly get into goth music but I really love it’s vibe. She’s such a talented singer. Fav song is ‘Spellbound’.
I should like this but I don’t like this.
Man, what energy! Quite a good vibe. Love her vocals. It's just not my preferred genre, so i can't sustain it long enough. My bad.
One of the big ones in the 1980's new wave scene. And IMO it has aged well even though bit does sound very "period". I like it but the record as a whole is not on par with the likes of The Cure etc.
Sorry I didn't enjoy it
Heti alkuun mainittakoot että on tuttu bändi, tehnyt yhden parhaista covereista Iggy Popin kappaleesta The Passenger. Todella vahva levyn aloitus. Spellbound oli kyllä kova kappale, Arabian Knights oli kans todella kova. Mainitsit aiemmin, että aika mitäänsanomaton albumi. Olen jokseenkin samaa mieltä. Levy alkaa erittäin vahvasti, mut sit heikkenee kyl lppua kohden. Itse olen henkilökohtaisesti aina pitänyt alternative-genrestä. Tää on kuitenkin vähä tällaista goottityylistä joka ei sit loppujen lopuksi uppoa. Loppujen lopuksi kaksi kappaletta päätyi omalle listalle. Arabian knights ja spellbound. Arabian Knights on siis todella hyvä kappale pidän itse todella paljon.
Original Last Dinner Party
No sé qué me pasa, pero es escuchar una vocalista MUJER y el álbum me entra muchísimo mejor. Me mola el rollo punk grunge.
Not the worst
Although a child of the '80s with many goth friends at the time, I never really checked out these guys in real time, so I've been looking forward to this opportunity for a while now. Unfortunately, I didn't find it as interesting as I had hoped.
Much like the other Siouxsie and the Banshees album in this collection, I can't quite get into their sound as much as I feel like I should, or at least they deserve given how influential they were. But this is still a very solid album, and when I finally realized that I could think of them--or perhaps only this album's version of them--as what The Smiths and The Cure *wanted* to sound like, then I enjoyed them more (I suspect a lot of that had to do with John McGeoch's inventive guitar playing). There weren't too many songs that really stood out for me, although "Into the light" and (for some reason) "Monitor" seemed a bit more distinctive and interesting. (Ironically, the video for "Spellbound" kind of did a disservice to the song, as all I could think of was how much this was exactly like a Boy George video, which probably wasn't what they were aiming for...)
I've always liked the opening to Spellbound, and I appreciate their unique sound, just am not that into it. Also, the 7+ minute Voodoo Dolly track is pretty weak.
Again, I think another one that is good but just not my own vibe. I would listen to Spellbound.
interesting I guess?
It was chill, not really what im into though
that sounded really cool. i liked that
Nääh
Spellbound is a cracking start and the quality doesn't drop until the last two songs. Possibly their best album. Siouxsies voice oozes tension and all the band are on great form.
Harsh. And awesome.
Back to back Siouxsie and the Banshees and it's been a delight. I was wavering between a 4 and a 5, but the more I listen to this, the more I think it deserves full marks.
The word “sublime” was coined to describe John McGeoch’s guitar tone.
Used to play this one when I’d bike around my town in fall/winter.
fucking stellar. siouxsie sioux was my main introduction to the goth rock genre and ultimately what led to me identifying with the goth subculture so strongly. this album is killer and i would argue has no skips (i may be very biased, but i also really don't see how the last 2 songs are weaker or all that different. it's one of their most cohesive albums imo). love love love her
3/5
Their sound is cool and these one had some interesting songs. 7/10
This is a great match for the performer’s vocals and the sound of the band behind her — they seem so authentic in their musical vision. Unfortunately, it’s just not appealing to me, but I wouldn’t blame anyone for being a fan.
I only know the singles from this album, it's a good listen though. I remember having their early punk singles as a teenager in the 70s. This album shows a bit more maturity in their sound, complex guitar and rhythm parts.
Very 80s. Peaked early, but reasonable throughout
Maybe a tad better than the other album, but pretty average/nothing to give it more than a 3.
I found this to be a bit tiring
I enjoyed her voice (very Ann Wilson from Heart or Stevie Nicks) but every song sounded the same to me. Not my cup of tea
Post punk’s finest guitarist’s finest hour
i always feel like i should like siouxsie more than i do. but anyway yes i did enjoy this. i am a music enjoyer
banger
Starts strong but so consistent, really well defined.
very pleasantly surprised, the atmosphere alone carries the entire record
One of the best goth rock albums ever. Great singing, great guitar playing, and all around great songs. I really love the song monitor, it is probably my favorite song of theirs. I've wanted to do a noise rock cover of that song forever, but never got around to it. High 5!!!!!
i dont wanna say this is bad but i really am not feeling the genre rn
very cool & a nice cohesive sound
Really enjoyed this. Could even be a 5 with more listens.
Gothic post punk
Some great tracks but not all good.
Every song is a masterclass in different ways to approach post-punk writing. They don't settle into a groove, constantly shifting and surprising with an energetic, erratic performance. Themes of the occult permeate every song, making them a cohesive whole, almost a concept album. The witch-y vibe gives Siouxsie and The Banshees an idiosyncratic, iconic sound.
One of my fav post punk albums today, for some reason the vinyl copy i have of Juju (which must be at least 30 years old) is my best sounding vinyl, the dynamics on it are beautiful - low 5 for me, easily my fav siousxie
Perfectly decent goth rock type thing. Good vocals, kind of samey. Catch me on a good day and maybe I like it more.
This was by far the best "post punk" album, if you can even call it that, that I think we've had. It's aggressive, sounds unique, and doesn't stray in to navel gazing bullshit or just nonsensical meandering like so many of the others do. The singer's voice is well suited to the music and while they're a band with a nominal frontperson, it never really takes anything away from the instrumentalists. The last track (Voodoo Dolly) was a bit too long and overwrought for me but the rest of it is great. It's not something I'd listen to every day but I enjoyed it.
I had this back in the day - though not right when it first came out, way back in 1981. It still sounds fantastic today! Great guitar/bass/drum combo, very well produced, with solid and so distinctive and interesting vocals. (I say distinctive, maybe she's not totally unique, but very recognisable - the forthrightness matched by Iggy Pop, B52s also come to mind ...) I like most of the songs a lot, I like the album as a whole very much. It's a bit goth, a bit pop, it's got noisy energy, it's stylish, it's Pretty Wonderful, 9/10.
This is an album that shaped entire generations. Dark, moody and haunting, but not without some pure punk rock energy.
literally one of my favorite bands and records of all time haunting rhythmically sharp addictive in some places — absolutely devastating
Surprisingly good :) 4.2
This was a weird one. Gothic British rock that felt like it didn’t fit into any direction. I certainly wasn’t bored with it, but I can’t say I really enjoyed it either. The leading vocals was good, as was the screeching guitars, but the overwhelming sense was unease and unsettling; so if that’s what it was going for great! But not quite my preference.
Doesn’t resonate with me.
This album was definitely not my favorite. It sounds like it’s from 1981 for sure. There’s some bits and pieces of some cool guitar and drums throughout it, but it was all taken away by that Pat Benatar style voice that I cannot stand. Some of the drums almost reminded me of a Phil Collins sound, but not enough to outweigh the not-so favorable in my opinion. No saves or standouts from this album. The song “Voodoo Dolly” was absolutely atrocious.
sinceramente no lo escuché, me da cargo de conciencia? realmente no, se me hace que debe ser muy reggae como el anterior, por ende, vamos a darle dos estrellas, juzgando el libro por la portada
This was better than expected. Last song rocks. High 3
I’m sure it was groundbreaking in its day but outside of the historical significance I’m not sure it’s aged very well
Cool album, you can litteraly tell that this is from the '80s. Awesome voice too
This was good, pretty dark and moody but upbeat, some interesting guitar sounds. Only real complaint is that the vocals are so high in the mix that they can be piercing at times when you listen at a volume where the instrumentation is ideal.
siouxie has a very unique singing voice really like halloween same with monitor night shift might be my favorite so far or monitor least fav voodoo dolly but its not TOOOO bad 7.3/10
Fine
Never heard. That's OK and I'll keep this.
Rock lots of ripping guitars. Overall its ok I would have to be in the mood for this
me gustó, tenía vibras bacanas
Se hizo presente la gárgola señores. Gran álbum, gótico como lcdsm. No es mi género favorito en esas cosas de producción y arreglos. Enfatiza instrumentos o arreglos que tienden a no atraerme, como la voz con ultra reverb o eco, timbres más bien hacia abajo, los sintes super arriba... Pero se lo disfrutó. Cuando el album es bueno, es bueno. 8/10
An album that continues to be a lot of fun to listen to.
It's a good album, I liked almost every song, but only one got my attention. 3,5/5.
Huh, did not expect to find Siouxsie and the Banshees here. BUT OHHH. Okay, SATB is one of those groups I SHOULD have listened to before, but it never really felt like "my" kind of music, but I am SO glad I listen to this record. It's not just vibes, it has some pretty catchy tunes as well as good lyrics.
2/5
female vocals are great change from male guitar playing is solid don't really like the vibe though pretty good so far
This was ok, but got worse towards the end. The last two tracks were a bit of a dumpster fire
Mixed on this one. I liked it in general, but found some of the songs sounded almost exactly the same.
I've heard this album before but it just gets better upon every relisten. Darkly atmospheric with a sort of frenetic passion. Makes me feel badass listening to it. Siouxsie made me want to be goth til I realized I couldn't get into most goth acts the same way haha.
Kult med en artist jeg ikke hadde hørt om
OUI j'aime bieeeeeeeennn bonne ambiance
3/10 - not the worst punk music I've heard but definitely not first choice on the record player
this is so fire like 10/10 tf so fire on my kneesssss
Comes on strong and never let's up
After hearing them name checked in friends and also other songs in the past I was expecting good things. Unfortunately the album started a bit underwhelming with ‘spellbound’ for me, however things picked up with the next track and the best song on the album ‘into the light’ The rest of the album just played- I had no need to find out track names as I didn’t find anything to stand out. It wasn’t a bad album- it just wasn’t good and certainly didn’t feel unique. An underwhelming 4/10 Best track ‘into the light’ Worst track- ‘Halloween’
Banshees - JuJu Everything is there. Amazing playing, haunting & gymnastic vocals, but after an opening triple whammy of great songs it all falls away for me. Spellbound, Into the Light and Arabian Knights streets ahead of the rest of the album. I mean it's not bad, but just didn't pull me back in any way. Not hard to spot the legacy they leave in modern music, and important I am sure. You can hear them still in Chvrches, Nadine Shah, PJ Harvey and so on. But never gonna be one I will go back to I'm afraid. Best Track - Spellbound Worst Track - Halloween 6/10
Crazy 80's, I see why they were a big influence on up and coming punk-goth bands. Wasn't into the scene but appreciate the talent.
Interesting listens, starts strong with Spellbound and carries this dark cult like energy with it throughout. Her vocals give the music the ominous punk vibe that is its strength. Good overall but loses steam in the back half
Spellbound, spellbound, spellbound, spellbound, spellbound… Spellbound! Yuck. I didn’t enjoy a minute of this.
Not much but noise to me
I like this band
Favorite Song: Spellbound
oops havent quite finished it
Having seen Siouxsie & The Banshees live on this tour in Vancouver BC on October 8, 1981 there was a bit of a shock hearing these songs live in a smallish venue. The band is interesting and compelling live and the songs played live Arabian Knights, Spellbound, and Night Shift I recall fit perfectly into established songs from Join Hands and Kaleidoscope- particularly with Happy House and Christine. This album is a little patterned as Siouxsie makes use of repeated lyrics to accentuate the mood and drive the post punk songs forward. I’ve listened to this record repeatedly and for the most part this is still a great record that still holds up. Sure the repetition such as on Sin of My Heart gets a little weary but there is also a certain charm to the whole affair. It also evinces the bands desire to be more commercial in their approach recognizing that this particular combination of guitar sounds, motorik drums and Siouxsie’s screams are pretty enjoyable and engaging. Head Cut is a weaklyrical effort but the music is sharp and excellent with some weird noises and yips from Siouxsie. Voodoo Dolly is a bit of an outlier at over 7 minutes. In hindsight it’s a great way to finish the record. Very cabaret style. Solid affair overall. 4/5
Muy buen álbum, lo guarde. Algunas canciones ya conocía. Nota: 9/10
I only liked spellbound
Was okay. I was able to listen all the way through & didn't dislike it immediately. I'm a fan of The Cure so this is in the same realm. It felt a little drawn out & by the end all kind of sounded the same. So while not bad, wasn't anything special in my opinion.
I knew of Siouxie but hadn't heard anything. This is good! It sounds like something ahead of its time.
good album. ivebeen looiing for something like this
There’s a reason the Banshees went into gothic rock and alternative pop after this record. They knew they never make pure post-punk as good as this so they didn’t try
Alternative fun
Juju es una mezcla maestra de tensión y misticismo que, décadas después, demuestra que ha envejecido bien. Lo que más destaca es su arquitectura sonora: los bajos y las percusiones establecen una base sólida y artesanal que sostiene todo el peso del disco. Lejos de ser un trabajo que se sienta pesado, su atmósfera te envuelve en un ambiente de sueño inquietante pero energizante, ideal tanto para una reflexión solitaria como para mantener el ritmo en la carretera o durante el ejercicio. Piezas como "Spellbound" y "Arabian Knights" son ejemplos brillantes de genialidad técnica, donde los arpegios de guitarra y el dominio de la voz crean un efecto hechizante. El disco logra un equilibrio perfecto entre lo tétrico y oscuro y una vitalidad rítmica que invita al movimiento. Es una obra conmovedora, cruda y real que utiliza el post-punk para explorar los rincones de la psique humana con una autoridad que pocos grupos han logrado igualar.
What a concept: no hits, no songs I had heard before....just one really good song after another (up until the last track, which I didn't care for).
Another time capsule trip - this time back to the origins of 80s Goth culture.
Well... the music isn't bad; it's pretty epic in places
I love this one, I listen often
Šiaip gera muzika,nebuvau labai susikaupusi, bet kai išgirsdavau tai visai nieko.
possibly my favorite siouxsie album. "spellbound" is certainly a top 5 siouxsie song and a perfect album opener
not bad
I hear the Smiths and New Order but a punk-jazz odyssey is not my jam.
Really high highs, reminds me slightly of LA witch
Good that sounded the same yeah OK well put it. I have one.
Det er så tyyyyynnnnttttt. Redda av første låta.
Pretty much all of them with the slight exception of Night Shift and Sin In My Heart!
All
..
This is classic siouxsie .Great album.
The first few songs I was enjoying, not enough to want to listen again and I feel it slightly dropped off as the album went on
Awesome female fronted post punk. This is what I wanted the Faithfull to sound like.
Sinceramente ni me acuerdo
I was really looking forward to listening to this. I used to love Siouxsie and the Banshees in my youth. And whilst the album did have a couple of good numbers, it was mainly noise..
Buen rock, sin más.
Fav song: Spellbound
The album of unease. Favourite track: Night Shift
Was not super into this tho not awful. Arabian knights was fun
Pretty surprised by this. Reminded me of Florence and the Machine. Liked some songs more than others. Good overall.
I enjoy the very dark and gothic mood about the album. Some of the songs themselves weren’t too great but the production was solid and extremely influential for an early 80s record. While I didn’t enjoy it all, it was still an interesting listen.
Spellbound was a wonderful opener to this album! Following it up with into the light was pretty great. Arabian nights had a good little tune to it too. The pounding drums were awesome. Halloween was slightly off putting to me as it’s an adult singing about the part of Halloween that’s specifically for children, but who am I to judge. Monitor was fun! Night shift was slightly creepy but it was awesome. Sin in my heart reminded me of a Florence and the Machine song. Head cut had an awesome beat to it. Voodoo dolly was cool! 3.5/5 ⭐️ 109/1089
3.5/5
Rating: 8.5 or 9/10 Favorite song(s): Review: Wow, I liked this a lot more than I expected to. I really appreciated the musicianship and was particularly captivated by the tone of the guitar throughout this album. This isn’t a style of music I usually listen to, though I do love the Cure. I think I thought Siouxsie and The Banshees was a little punkier than it actually is. Whatever expectations I had, it certainly surpassed them. I could actually see myself listening to this record again, which was surprising for me. I definitely understand why Siouxsie is so respected and considered so influential now. Listen again?: Yes
Kinda feels like a cross between the Go Gos and Rush, with a little bit of Jefferson Airplane. Good combination.
Hard to attribute a category to this kind of music
The vocal melody in 'Spellbound' immediately makes me think of 'Abracadabra' by Lady Gaga. Really like the guitars on 'Halloween'. I like the guitars on 'Monitor' as well, but not the rhythm section. Ending of 'Voodoo Dolly' was cool.
A bit of an eerie sound. But a good album nonetheless. Not absurdly British like some of the other randoms on this list. I'm also really tickled by the spelling of Siouxsie.
Not really alternative in my mind, but seemed eh.
9/10
I like this record
Strong 9 to light 10
Juju is a record that announces its credentials immediately and delivers on them consistently — a fully formed artistic vision executed with real conviction and craft. Siouxsie Sioux’s voice is cold, theatrical, and completely commanding, an instrument that demands attention even when the emotional frequency doesn’t quite match yours. John McGeoch’s guitar work is the other genuine highlight, angular and atmospheric in ways that clearly influenced a generation of alternative players. These are serious musicians doing serious work. The problem is simple fit. The gothic atmosphere and post-punk darkness are well constructed and never feel gratuitous — this is considerably more melodically and rhythmically alive than the Cure’s Pornography, which landed at a 2 earlier in this project for similar reasons of emotional disconnection. Juju has enough pulse and melodic intelligence to stay clearly above that threshold. It’s just not a world that generates any pull toward return visits. The record player test failed early and held steady all the way to the closing track. Not because anything went wrong, but because nothing reached through the atmospheric darkness to create genuine personal engagement. Respected, appreciated for what it is, and ultimately not something that belongs in regular rotation. A solid three that sits exactly where it belongs — nothing bad enough for two, nothing compelling enough for four. Sometimes the most honest review is also the most straightforward one.
FTL: Very interesting album. Quite like nothing I’ve heard specifically. Intensifying melodies followed by very soft an distant ones. Some eerie sounds in there. Has some features of the Doors. Also heard some Pixies elements in there but guess that would be the other way around, timeline wise. Was even more intrigued after googling the band afterwards and noticing the glam and goth style with Bowie influences. Album doesn’t get more than 3 stars tho, but that’s because we have to keep in mind all other great albums still coming.
I liked this one quite a bit
high paced, punk with a Cure sound
Pretty fire, first few songs especially, 4.5
GREATTTT. Love this album. I definitely have a few favourites but every song is a banger - no skips. Thank you Siouxsie Sioux! Big fan of that guitar sound and the overall ambience of this album. Sick.
I love quite a lot about this album, it has such a clearly defined feel. It works well as a cohesive unit, and even though I find some songs repetitive I think each song has its own niche "Spellbound" is pretty fun, I definitely think it's the strongest song of its ilk on the album. "Arabian Knights" is just some wonderful songwriting and maybe my favourite on the album, very driving bass. Similarly "Sin In My Heart" is again very driven: I appreciate these kinds of songs "Monitor" is a cool sound, though the backing vocalists sound like ghosts on a rollercoaster Siouxie keeps reminding me what song I'm listening to which is nice
Not sure if I enjoyed this one all too much. I think its another 2.5. I can hear how influential this will have been, and I recognise its pretty good, just not my thing tbh. I did like the first song but this album didnt really grab me at all.
good 👍
If u know me u know i LOVE THIS ALBUM!!!!!!!!!!!! I have the album cover printed out and stuck on my wall it's so gorgeous and gothic and moody and the guitar is amazing and the lyrics and siouxsie's voice YESSSSS Foundational text for goths favourite songs: night shift & monitor
Love the sound of this album. I have some sentimental attachment to this album but I also just think it's really solid I like Arabian Knights a lot, but Monitor and ofc Spellbound are up there too. I don't listen to a lot of this kind of music but something about this album just scratches an itch in my brain
Grungy jefferson airplane. Notable songs: Into the light,
no es para nada mi estilo, spellbound me gustó un poco y solo por eso va 1 estrella
amoramor
Not my thing at all.
Starts strong but looses a lot of momentum on the second half.
its great, refreshing, new, musically intense
Never heard of the band before, but this is pretty cool! This is the kind of album I was hoping to discover through this project.
Okay pero te imaginas haber sido una alt girl de los 80's escuchando esto?
Kind of boring ? Not my favorite
no me gusto pero porque no es para nada mi onda, es muy dark. No dudo que en ese mundo sea de calidad igual, pero la escuche haciendo matemática y muy meh.
9/10 Best songs: Spellbound, Arabian Night, Halloween, Night Shift, Voodoo Dolly Siouxsie and the Banshees is a revelation. I suppose I shouldn't be too surprised: I am a huge fan of later bands who cite Siouxsie as an influence, after all. But I'm not a particularly big fan of punk, but I do like some goth rock, so whether I'd like this album was always going to be up in the air. Turns out I really like it: it's a terrifically atmospheric, dark, and heavy album, with Siouxsie's piercing wails sailing above the music. Great music, great lyrics, just great stuff. So glad to hear a (distrrssingly rare) female-led band on this list, too.
Interesting, needs a 2nd listen to get
Sympa et original mais oubliable
Too aggressive, didn't love it
i can see where the last dinner party got their inspiration from. very cool post punk album. i was vibing with the songs but its not something id be itching to come back to. 6/10
Pretty decent, above average album.
I enjoyed this one a lot more than 'The Scream'. Interesting off-kilter guitar work, great mood and atmosphere, and some of Siouxsie's most interesting vocals.
- Vaguely creepy, with folk rock and grunge rock influences - 'Spellbound' is catchy, also liked 'Arabian Nights', and 'Halloween'. - Not my favorite genre but catchy enough and not a bad way to spend an hour of listening - Strangely I appreciate what 'Voodoo Dolly' is going for, though it's long and eerie, I kind of like it
Album was pretty solid. My highlight of the album was night shift. Enjoy the album, very 80s!
Nemt at anderkende de tekniske aspekter i musikken og eksperimentelle, som de gør mega godt. Godt album, det er bare ikke for mig. Men creds for voodoo, spoookyyyyy, vibes. Kunne sagtens høre igen til oktober.
I HEARD A RUMOUR WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO HER
Spellbound
Wow, this was great! I had really only heard of them, and recently heard the cover Garbage did of Cities in Dust, so heard the original after that. But ya, for being 1981 this surprised me for sure. Post punk it says, that lines up, and maybe REM was even inspired by some of this jangle rock?
Siouxsie finding her groove.
Wanted to like it more but not a standout album
You know it gets better with time
Inline these guys! Good 80s alt/rock
purrr
2 days in a row with a female voice and I’m here for it. This time is Siouxsie. Been aware of her and heard her Dear Prudence cover which is great. Never heard a full album, but love this a lot. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Nice album. Really had me in a working mood. Into The Light and Arabian Knights were the songs that stood out to me. 6.4/10
It had a darker and more sinister twist on it, I felt, compared to other punk Albums of the time. Ballion's vocals are so close to Chrissie Hyndes, it's easy to mistake the two at times. It was a great album, though it dragged in places and, for me at least, never reached the heights of that debut Pretenders album two years before it. Favourite tracks, by a long shot, were "Spellbound" and "Monitor". Been listening to them in my mix ever since.
i liked its vibe
Hasn't aged well.
Didn't expect to enjoy this as much as I did but this was really good. Super tight gothicy post punk that slowly gets darker the further you progress into the album. I'd say i enjoyed the second half more than the first but this album is still ultra consistent and pretty much every song here is great. Fav Songs: Night Shift, Head Cut, Monitor, Voodoo Dolly Least Fav: Into The Light 9.2/10
Bien bien punky. Puede ser un poco repetitivo
This album left me mildly disappointed just because I love siouxsie and the banshees’ other music. This wasn’t bad though, and definitely had the same chilling and exciting atmosphere as other albums. Some of these songs I felt were a little busy to the point where they were stressful and almost grating to listen to. This album is so close to a four for me but I just can’t imagine purposefully listening to this again. Fav songs: spellbound, moniter, night shift.
3.9 Thrilled to get an album I know and know I’m going to like on my second day. Spellbound has never been as interesting to me as to be there most listened to song, especially when it’s followed by into the light, which I hadn’t listened to before and was the best on the album for me. I’ll always appreciate lead women in rock and punk. 🫶🏻
Hell yeah juju
I listened to this album while I was sewing a creature! I think this album and the people who created it would greatly support that notion. I listened to one of the tracks through my phone speakers and I wasn't that into it. While working on my creature I was wearing headphones and I really liked it. Goes to show you how much phone speakers are BUTT!!! I really liked almost every song in this album it had a really fun vibe to it. I think this is considered goth music and honestly I've never considered myself the BIGGEST fan of it because my claim was that it all kind of sounded alike. This will be anyone's claim towards a style of music they are not drawn to or do not like. It was ill-educated. Now I consider myself a fan of at least parts of gothic music. Yay!
Another instance of interesting music that is diminished by a singer that doesn’t resonate with me. I know people love Siouxsie, but I never really liked her tone and it just takes away from what the rest of the band is doing for me.
One of those albums where every consecutive track gets better and better.
This is some good juju. This is what I was expecting from the last Siouxie album.
Pretty repetitive but not in a bad way
Excellent, edgy, eerie, uncomfortable post punk. Always loved Siouxsie. Four wonderful musicians making this controlled racket. Very little fat on this record, perfectly sequenced. Some really excellent songs but in Spellbound, arguably their best. I listen to this album every few years but listening to it with intent made me enjoy it even more. Excellent stuff. Best: Spellbound Worst: Voodoo Dolly
Not feeling it really. I'm not a fan of early 80s post punk production, the guitars are too trebly, too weak, and mixed too low. All the of reverb you can muster, makes every song sparce but still somehow cluttered? The songs feel stretched out and not very interesting, plodding but performed as if they're energetic. I found I couldn't get into it, like when a child is annoying you by singing a song they made up and you have to listen to them to be polite and they just keep going and going and you really want to get up and do something else. Like, I get it, you're being all spooky and enigmatic, well done, can I go yet? The only good part is, above all the image and fashion that so many people latch onto in the scene above all else, Siouxie is a brilliant vocalist and performer. I feel like you have to suspend a lot of belief to get into certain genres of music, you have to let the theatrical and contrived songs do their thing and accept it for what it is in order to "get" it. With post punk, I just don't get it.
Rate this a 5 stars
the cranberries but punk. liked monitor, halloween, arabian knights
Decent overall but forgettable. Last track was rubbish. Wouldn’t listen again
5 out of 5. Love the energy and Siouxie's voice.
Party vibes
no me generó nada loco, medio parecido a the smiths en ritmos y guitarras pero lamentablemente se siente "seco".
This listen was a lot of fun and I'll be scalping some songs for this year's Halloween party. I can see the cult appeal of this one.
S and the B's was a band I knew of but never listened to during high school. They were from just before my time ... some of my older brother's cooler friends liked them. I have long had a sense that they were more important to the quickly evolving post-punk scene in real time than for any recordings they left behind. In other words, influential in a way that the albums will never really capture. And listening to this, I thought, maybe they were a powerful live act. In terms of, why some think of them as a major band and others of us barely know them. Maybe they just didn't have enough hit singles or signature songs to resonate in later decades. Anyway ... first time listening to one of their albums. I was not feeling it until I was (Monitor -- that song is really good. Gets really good. It takes off in its second half). Then I started digging Sin In My Heart, Voodoo Dolly, Spellbound 12"mix, Fireworks ... and next thing I knew I was listening to it all again. Second time around, I liked Spellbound (regular mix), Arabian Knights, Head Cut ... and it all seemed to work for me. So much of my listening in high school was by chance -- what I happened to find and give a try that was priced at $1.99 - $3.99 in the used lp's. As a result, lots of what I listened to was a bit older. I went through a phase where I listened to a solid amount of Ultravox (Vienna and the albums before it, which are different, more akin to Gary Numan, Devo, etc.). If I had acquired this album then, I would have really liked it. As it stands, there is not a lot of space in my life for synth rock for disaffected young people. Glad I listened to it, though. An empty spot on my music map has been filled in.
Early concert: Siouxsie show at the Orpheum. "Tinderbox" on repeat. At the time I liked their covers better than their original music. This time "Juju" strikes me as innovative, for 1981. I love the guitar sound Budgie came up with, her vocal style, and the broad hints at an ooga-booga witchiness as a benefit of being weird like them. At the time I was reading Maya Deren's "Divine Horsemen;" I was harboring secret hopes of running into an actual griot--which was highly unlikely in suburban Lexington at the time.
I had very mixed feelings about this. Initially felt positive listening to it, as it was way more interesting than I had anticipated. I can definitely see why they were so influential, they sounded way ahead of their time. On the other hand, there was not one song on here I thought, "I'd really like to listen to that again." At no point did I feel intrigued enough to look up the lyrics of any of the songs like I usually do.
I really, really love the vibes Siouxsie and the Banshees are putting out in Juju. Their debut album, The Scream, missed the mark for me because it was too abrasive and coarse, but in Juju, they focused and refined their style. They still have an abrasive sound in Juju, but it isn't as rough and they targeted a gothic rock sound while remaining post-punk. The song titles, lyrics, and atmosphere are dynamite, so it's no wonder Siouxsie is considered a gothic pioneer.
Honestly, I can't believe it. I have been waiting for this album to pop up for me for a LONG time. And it literally shows up as my last album in the core part of this project, album #1089. What odds! This is such an important album to me. It is pretty much THE album that introduced me to gothic rock and started my love for this type of music. It still probably stands as my most favorite gothic rock work. Inject the opening riff of "Monitor" DIRECTLY into my veins. What a fun way to bring my 1001 Albums Generator journey to a close! Part of what makes this album so objectively great is the strong mixture of gothic rock elements with dark wave, dream pop, and post-punk sounds. Sometimes these genres on their own produce a bit of a one-note result, but combining them all here sets an incredibly dynamic, eerie tone which is perfectly effective. Siouxsie's voice is also a special part of the winning formula. She's dramatic, intense, and monumental at every turn. The intensity is often heightened with her special way of shout-singing her lyrics. The mixing of the instrumentation's unique riffs and genre mashup as well as Siouxsie's haunting vocal stylings make this such a suspenseful, memorable album. The brilliance of "Juju" is truly the combination of both aspects. The spooky concept comes across perfectly, making this album a fantastic, cohesive presentation made of impressive and distinct individual parts. This album was the first time Siouxsie and the Banshees committed to diving more into a gothic sound, and with it they created their best work, and truly set a genre gold standard that influenced artists in the goth rock space and well beyond.
i know that voice just not from where, yet.....
There's something interesting in it, but I didn't really like it. Wasn't bad
Not my cuppa. I dont understand what cultural impact they had either
John McGeoch, who I didn't know before this record, makes this album. Everyone else does a great job too, but that guy and his guitar really ups this. I'm a sucker for Sonic Youth Brancaist experimental guitar tones of the sort. This with the dark "gothic" label together creates such an enjoyable vibe. I cringe a bit when I say that, but trust me, I feel very positively towards this record. Those little noise and atonal tidbits give the record its cool alternative edge. Maybe this is why I like Allison from The Breakfast Club a lot. I personally would have never given her the make-over. Juju on that beat (9/10, 5/5 on this scale)
Was best goed te doen. Beetje the cranberry’s vibe
Yay!!! Goth music i like!!!
I spent yesterday writing a poem about the Moon. It was dark and introspective. That work was still on my mind today as I listened to this album. It's sometimes rare for an album to sound exactly like I expected it to based on title and cover art alone:Siouxsie and the Banshees' Juju is one of those albums. I was painted a picture of something heavy, feminine, and sprawling; I would say I got exactly what was advertised, and then some. This album builds a strong emo atmosphere, though with a touch more levity and whimsy than something like The Cure's Pornography did. The drums sound massive and hollow, reverberating through the mix, alongside a droning ambience which sounds like a distorted guitar tone. These elements combine with Siouxsie's expressive alto-range vocals to create a singular atmosphere which is the strongest appeal of this album. While I strongly prefer the moments where the songs kick into a bit of a heavier gear, finding less to grab into with the lighter tracks, I still appreciate the dark expression which is Juju. Highlights: Spellbound, Into The Light, Monitor, Night Shift, Sin In My Heart, Voodoo Dolly
A really great album, the first two songs directly catch your attention, the chord progression and the drumming on Into the Light is really really good. A very nice discovery. Favorite Songs: Spellbound ; Into the Light
Great guitar work. Never heard this one before.
Great album; I love their sound.
Good energy. Really enjoy the percussion. I’m not a huge fan of the timbre of her voice, which lends a goth edge to it all, but that’s just my personal preference. Definite throwback that captures the time.
#81/1001 🇬🇧 🖤🦇 I have goth sensibilities but have never been good at wearing black. I only have one Siouxsie record, and its not this one. After listening to it today it's definitely one that i'm annoyed that i haven't checked out before. The first 4 tracks are just relentless and brilliant. Side 2 starts a bit more measured with Night Shift, this builds and builds into a really atmospheric number. Its the sound of a producer getting the absolute best out of the band. Loved everything about it, the layered guitar sound, the tricky drum fills and of course Souxsie's vocals. Loved it, loved it. Best tracks: Spellbound, Into The Light, Arabian Knights, Night Shift.
Surprisingly solid all the way through. I expected moodier Goth mysticism, but was rewarded with something much heavier. Further listening is certainly warranted in this case.
🎧Liked this more than The Scream
Really oriental vibes. Great Choise to listen something fresh
Some interesting sounds going on, ai find the vocals a little repetitive. Luckily the repetition is not a negative, I like it
I like some of their stuff but don’t really need to listen to the full albums on the regular.
Wow, this was an unexpected surprise. Of course, I’ve heard of Siouxsie and the Banshees, but I’ve never listened to any of their music. This album is a post-punk/goth rock gem. Siouxsie has the perfect voice to match the spooky, haunted aesthetic. The music is almost trance-like, as if they’re casting a spell. The drummer is excellent, and I love the tribal drum fills that pop in unexpectedly. This whole album is a mood. I often get annoyed with this project because there are so many bad albums, but this one reminds me why it’s worthwhile to keep going.
Sensual yet aggressive
Juju is up there among the best punk / post-punk albums. John McGeoch's guitar shines through and is perhaps as characteristic of the band's sound as the voice of Siouxsie Sioux.
A great band. An ok album
Beyond the singles, I never listened to Siouxsie in the day. I'm amazed at the musicianship and can see straight away how influential it was. I think I found this more interesting than enjoyable though, and am not sure I'm a convert (yet?). I might come back to it though so it's 3*
I heard the rumor, I really enjoyed this! bring back Susie and the bananas!
Spellbound might be the coolest song ever written. This is such a banger album. Its so witchy and sexy and goth and it just makes me want to be in a club in eyeliner. The drumming, the singing, and the guitar are some of the best ever out to tape. Lyrically, its a bit weaker than the other albums on this list, but its still an absolute riot. 3.9
I didn’t know this band before apart from one song I liked I wasn’t impressed by the album it’s listenable not t bad but nothing that gets me excited to listen again
This was some good rock n roll music with some campiness to it. Siouxsie has a string rock voice and professional band behind her.
Not my style, but well made music
Thoroughly enjoyed this
Pretty good. Some songs I wasn't digging her voice too much. Recognized and enjoyed Spellbound!
Really taken with Siouxsie's powerful voice and McGeoch's interesting guitar playing. Got a bit monotonous, but overall, a pleasant surprise.
I found this hard to connect with.
What a great album to listen to for the first time. This list is lacking in albums where the singer can actually sing.
yall already know 🦇
