Fuzzy Logic Super Furry Animals 1996 Genres: Rock Styles: Britpop, Alternative Rock, Psychedelic Rock, Indie Rock, Experimental 1. God! Show Me Magic (★★★★☆) -Contexto: Habla de un "trasplante de alma" porque su "bypass" no funcionaba, y le pide a "Dios" que le muestre magia. Cuestiona lo que el diario no muestra, lo que la tele no dice, y hasta "lo que comieron mis hámsters hoy". Es una sátira absurda sobre la desconfianza a los medios y la búsqueda de algo trascendente en medio de lo mundano, envuelta en apenas 1:50 de pop-punk. 2. Fuzzy Birds (★★★★☆) -Contexto: Metáfora de un hámster en su rueda que pide comida/energía para poder funcionar, comparándose con una batería y un dinamo ("el mundo me tiene dando vueltas a los gritos en mi rueda"). Se lee como una alegoría sobre sentirse atrapado en una rutina agotadora, dependiendo de algo externo para tener fuerzas. 3. Something 4 the Weekend (★★★★☆) -Contexto: Narra "la primera vez", "la segunda vez", etc. de haber probado algo que "me subí a la lengua y tragué", con efectos que se intensifican ("las cosas se ponen más fáciles", "esto me está poniendo hippy dippy") y un estribillo obsesivo sobre tener a alguien/algo metido en la cabeza todo el tiempo. Reseñas de la época la describen como una celebración con guiño irónico de la cultura del éxtasis y las salidas de fin de semana de los 90. 4. Frisbee (★★★☆☆) -Contexto: Letra surrealista ("estamos ahogándonos en helado de diseñador", "el futuro está pixelado") combinada con imágenes agresivas de un frisbee "afilado y cromado" que "decapita y entierra tus juguetes" y "trae el ruido". Se percibe como una crítica velada al consumismo y a la saturación mediática/tecnológica. 5. Hometown Unicorn (★★★⯨☆) -Contexto: Está basada en el caso real de Franck Fontaine, un adolescente francés que desapareció en 1979 y reapareció una semana después alegando haber sido abducido por extraterrestres. Su foto apareció en el sencillo y en el disco. 6. Gathering Moss (★★★★⯨) -Contexto: Habla de estancamiento vital y económico: "capacidad perdida para el infinito", "campos de industria, muerte por miseria", gente "unida por facturas detalladas" y "falsa seguridad". Es un retrato melancólico de la inercia y la ansiedad económica cotidiana, del tipo "vivir en piloto automático". -Fav 7. If You Don't Want Me to Destroy You (★★★★☆) -Contexto: Usa la "gravedad" como metáfora de una fuerza que sostiene y ata ("me sostenés tan silenciosamente", "me tirás hacia abajo, hacia la tierra"), mezclando amenaza ("si no querés que te destruya") con vulnerabilidad y necesidad del otro. El single se promocionó con el célebre tanque azul que la banda compró y llevó a los festivales de 1996 como gesto contra la Criminal Justice Act de 1994 (ley que perseguía la cultura rave), aunque la letra en sí no es explícitamente sobre eso. 8. Bad Behaviour (★★★⯨☆) -Contexto: Autorretrato nostálgico y desenfadado de travesuras de juventud: "hacer lío solía alegrarme el día", "metí el puño por una ventana", "la amnesia nunca se me cruzó por la cabeza", "la amigdalitis era mi coartada", "hacerme la rabona era mi vocación". Humor autoparódico sobre la rebeldía adolescente, sin mayor trasfondo político. 9. Mario Man (★★★☆☆) -Contexto: Relato nonsense/absurdista sobre un personaje con desventuras disparatadas: agujeros en su chándal, una cirugía en Everton, un casamiento con "la hija del idiota del pueblo", una luna de miel en Chipre donde ella agarra un virus, la vuelta solo en una freidora ("chip pan") navegando hasta la Isla de Man, y quedar atrapado en un vórtice con una campera Gore-Tex. Puro humor surrealista sin mensaje directo aparente, típico del estilo lírico de la banda. 10. Hangin' with Howard Marks (★★★⯨☆) -Contexto: Tributo/retrato del contrabandista galés de drogas Howard Marks (alias "Mr. Nice"), a quien la banda invitó a Rockfield durante la grabación. La letra mezcla imágenes de amistad ("somos los tres mosqueteros") con jerga de mercado bursátil ("comprá, comprá, vendé, vendé") y despedidas. Gruff Rhys dijo después que Marks representaba "un nuevo contexto para la cultura galesa", un antihéroe que usaba el idioma galés como código para despistar a las autoridades. 11. Long Gone (★★★★☆) -Contexto: El tema más largo del disco (5:20), con una letra escueta y repetitiva sobre la ausencia y la pérdida ("no hay sombra donde estuviste", "te encontraría si pudiera", "si creyera, rezaría"). Tono fantasmal y melancólico. Cierra con un mensaje real de contestador dejado por los ex integrantes Rhys Ifans y Dic Ben, como un gesto casi documental de despedida a esa etapa de la banda. 12. For Now and Ever (★★★☆☆) -Contexto: Cierre breve y luminoso del álbum, que menciona a Siân Lloyd (conocida presentadora del clima de la TV galesa) anunciando que "el sol va a venir a jugar". Es una declaración de amor simple y optimista: "vamos a estar juntos hasta el final, por ahora y siempre". -TOTAL = ★★★⯨☆ (3,6)
i wish i liked it more but i felt like i was going deaf in alternate ears every other song like it was just so screechy all the time for no good reason, but i'm sure someone else (my missus) enjoys that type of stuff
1) Frisbee 2) Bad Behaviour 3) Hometown Unicorn Least Favourite: Something 4 The Weekend
There's just something off with every one of the songs on this album. Why is it on this list?
Better than I’d anticipated. A good, solid indie album from the 90s. I hadn’t paid them a lot of attention back when. A good revisit.
I expected a generic nineties britpop album. This exceeded my expectations. The album was varied and a joy to listen to.
Es ist wie ein überdrehter, neonbunter Zirkus, der gleichzeitig genial und leicht verpeilt wirkt. Die Super Furry Animals werfen Psychedelia, Britpop und schrägen Humor in einen Mixer, drücken auf Turbo – und manchmal fliegt der Deckel eben weg. Einige Songs sind brillant verspielt, andere stolpern über ihre eigene Exzentrik.
Good alt rock record
Decent; not amazing. An extremely assured debut, though, and more exciting than the later album of theirs that I've already reviewed on here. It has a sense of fun, but to me the best tracks are the ones that also have a sense of urgency. I don't like the more whimsical tracks much; I feel like this band were at their best when they were being noisy (God Show Me Magic, Bad Behaviour). I did have to admire the rhyming of vortex and Gore-tex, however. Hanging With Howard Marks is a good track - probably all the best elements of this band combined.
This album was less than great. This is another example of a record / band that doesn’t belong on this list. Not the worst thing ever, but relatively inadequate.
Generic as it gets
Kinda inconsistent but I liked it better than their last album on this list. Could absolutely see one of these songs make it into a James Gunn movie (compliment). Likes: God Show Me Magic; Something for the Weekend; Hometown Unicorn
скучнейший брит-поп, да еще так похожий на блюр делать что-то похожее не так стремно, быть незапоминающимися тоже не говорит о них плохо это может быть лучшая группа, но в пределах жанра и стиля, при наличии других таких групп, к сожалению, звучит простенько есть хороший трек Mario man переслушивать не стану 2.4
I had never heard this before, but I enjoyed it! Fuzzy guitars and lots of vocal effects. I don't know if this album is essential, but it was a decent listen this morning.
This is a tight knit band with some fun lyrics. An easy listen and an ambitious recording.
Meh
After how much I enjoyed Rings Around The World I was looking forward to another one by this group. This was disappointing. It just seemed like Blur but worse. Favorites were Something 4 The Weekend and If You Don’t Want Me To Destroy You.
Felt like a 90s album the Beatles would put out if they were all still alive and making music, but not in a complimentary way. In past their prime, nothing catchy or interesting but they just wanted to record. That's this album, what else do you want me to say
So annoying, its crazy. Almost the same note every song, and sounding so fucking old its absurd. No
Didn't love this nearly as much as "Rings Around the World". This is more of a standard britpop record unfortunately. Still not convinced that this band wasn't just another of Damon Albarn's side projects. Favorite track: For Now and Ever
Had some nice moments. I'm pretty sure I would've liked it more had their old singer, Rhys Ifans, still been with the band.
Meh.
breaking news: fuzzy logic tem um pouco de fuzz sim!! achei engraçado pq eu tava lendo sobre alguma coisa antes de dormir e cai nesse álbum, lembrei que eu tinha que escutar ele pra esse site (papo de para-casa mesmo) foi bem melhor do que eu achei q fosse ser
esse eh mais puxado prum glamzinho, né. tem umas guitarrada boa aqui também!! nao eh tããão britpop pra época não, hein. eu diria que eh até melhor que o outro deles que passou por aqui... achei bacana e barulhentinho!!
Jamais écouté avant. Le son d'un groupe qui semble n'avoir pas encore trouvé sa voix, et qui semble donc mixer toutes ses influences (le psychédélisme des années 1960, le glam des années 1970, le punk, la musique électronique...) sans trouver de ligne directrice. Ça fonctionne parfois, mais ça tourne souvent au pastiche calqué d'un peu trop près. Néanmoins, les quelques morceaux qui surnagent me laissent penser qu'il y a du talent, et je ne fais pas une croix sur le groupe. À suivre, donc. Top : Something for the Weekend Flop : Long Gone
not sure in what way they deserve to be part of the 1001 albums list. i find this album unexceptional in every way.
I don't know if I love or hate this album. It has moments of really amazing creativity, some solid pop song writing, yet leaves me largely indifferent. Probably in that Teenage Fanclub bracket of bands everyone is supposed to love, but I struggle to connect with.
I hope to never hear this again and I probably won't
I don't get it. At all.
Average Brit indie
Totally fine, a couple of stand out songs
This is the second album I’ve had by this band. I had never heard of them before that. I did not like the first album I had. This was better than that one. This was their debut album and the other one was their fifth album, so they obviously went downhill. That being said, I’m giving this 2 stars like I did the other album because I never need to hear this again.
Not bad but very much not my style, indie sort of music never really was my thing
terug britpop... beter dan Oasis, maar dat is het dan ook
1996 album, I have not listened to.
First Listen Favorites: Something 4 the Weekend God! Show Me Magic If You Don't Want Me to Destroy You Honorable Mentions: Mario Man
Shitty poo poo music
Weird Welshmen play psychedelic pop and art rock
At first I was like, no. Then I was like, alright! EDIT: Actually a four, I keep listening to it (especially Gathering Moss). Bits of the album keep getting stuck in my head. Glad I got to listen to this one
I have never heard this band. Very 90s, in a very good way.
It’s crazy how basic yet experimental this album is. This is so 90’s coded. This would totally be the soundtrack to those teal paper cups from the 90’s. Like really, there’s not much going on here. It’s just a breezy rock record that doesn’t take itself seriously. Yeah it’s Brit Slop at times, but it made for an easy & enjoyable listen. There’s worse offenders on here for sure.
Once again I am confused as to the true nature of this list and the reason why we get so many albums like this it reminds me a Nickelodeon tv show transition to next scene music. It’s good but it’s on the over the hedge soundtrack probably. Definitely. It just feels dated and doesn’t do anything particularly defining and these albums don’t have to but this is total flyover country. I will say these solos at the end of some of these songs are immaculate. A true dance with the guitar and you hear some noise rock in here that just tickles me but they true everything it reminds me of King Gizzard. Which has me wondering what will happen with them in time. It also has a very revolver sound in the sense that they throw everything at the wall and see what works and some of it does but it can’t capture the magic. All in all I had a fun time but I find myself not really feeling anything or reason to visit again a true album sin.
Hang on a tick! There ain't no super furry animals in this album! I've been thoroughly swindled, bamboozled, and hoodwinked all in one go. All I got was some mediocre britpop!
The book explains this album's presence on the list by claiming the Welsh scene deserves a spotlight. The reviewer even acknowledges that this isn't this band's best work, so why is it here? It's contradictory. Either way I was not very impressed, it's not that anything stood out as grating but the ingredients were simply not arranged into something lastingly compelling. The sort of british rock you will not change the station for if you heard it on the radio but you wouldn't ask yourself "what is this stuff?" either.
2.5 ⭐ Talking about brit pop this Super Furry Animals album wasn't supposed to be one of its best examples, there is no recognizable voice, there is not one memorable melody but is no supposed to be ignored either. It's just... acceptable. An ok debut album by a band that endure the test of time by being an ok band and were for better or for worse part of a movement that for some time dominated the music environment.
Reminds me of Blur. It's catchy at times
The 90s Brit Pop scene continues the search to reestablish its relevance. Nothing really unique or special here, just a bunch of tracks that make the listener wonder which band from which previous era they're listening to, only to find out that Fuzzy Logic is a band and ELO/Bowie/Costello/Oasis/etc. probably already did it better.
There were bad reviews of this album, but I loved the energy. These guys are way cooler than those stupid Brit bands. They bring a better energy. Surprise 4
SFA passed me by originally so this was a first listen. Not bad but didn't get hooked
Yet another uninspired britpop record on the list. Bewildered by the fact that as it seems, it is not their only album on this project. It does have some interesting moments throughout, but nothing that would seem essential. 6/10 [DROP]
Another mediocre band making mediocre music.
First track showed some promise, but then it was downhill from there. Their sloppy is just that, rather than loose and fun. Very forgettable.
Pleasant enough but pretty banal mid-90s Britpop. It sounds like hundreds of other albums that came out at the same time. Not bad background music, and their hit single “Something 4 the weekend” is definitely an earworm.
This wasn't too bad of an album, but it definitely has that typical conventional Britpop sound at its core. At the same time, it's almost like they're trying really hard not to be Britpop. You get psychedelia, electronic influences, and punk mixed throughout, which gives the album a much stranger and more eclectic sound than a lot of the other Britpop coming out around the same time.
Not bad! 3.5/5
2.5/5
Better than Coldplay
Didn't love it
Americans really do have shit taste don't they. This album is a triumph.
5: I will happily play this album anytime 4: I may occasionally play this album of my own free will 3: I will happily listen to this if someone plays it in the background 2: I will tolerate this if it is playing in the background 1: I will leave the room if someone plays this in the background
A wild ride of 90’s style power pop
The first time I tried listening to this album, I fell asleep during the second or third song. I couldn’t even remember those opening tracks, so I gave it another shot. Now I understand why I dozed off, it’s a boring album.
Not as good as beauty and the beat.
The first 4 - 5 were good. Reminded me of soundtrack to a James Gunn movie.
It wasn't a bad album, I just didn't like it
Pretty good
Maybe it's YABA (yet another british album) that this list is weirdly plagued with, but some of it was weirdly up my alley. Some of it reminded me of Elvis Costello. 3*
Ok album, not great but not terrible either.
this was extremely ok. I want to bump it up to a three because it’s a Welsh band but by my standards this is too much of a two for me to live with that I think it’s fine, I don’t hate it, but man the “the most important band since The Beatles” takes from critics are kind of hilarious. I don’t even think the beatles are good and that is an obviously silly reaction
I like Super Furry Animals but didn’t care much for this album specifically. Their other one on here was much better.
Normalito. Agradable, nada wow. 6/10
Just like the other Super Furry Animals album i listened to, Fuzzy Logic was a very good album. It has a very Tally Hall meets Gorillaz sort of sound (despite being released before either band released anything) much like it's successor but i don't think it goes all the way like it did. I still think that this album is a pretty fun listen with decent guitars, fun electronic elements, great melodies and some pretty good vocals. I think that there were a few songs that could sound very samey but thankfully the album did move at a rather fast pace meaning that it never got overly bad in that aspect. This album was still no doubt a fun listen. Best Song: Something 4 the Weekend Worst Song: Fuzzy Birds
2.5
So… is this British? Just a guess. A stab in the dark… though the Monty Python line up on the album cover DOES kinda give them away. If they were trying to hide from anyone, that is. Yeah. So I don’t hate this like others seem to. I actually like it quite a bit. I don’t think I am going higher than 3. But… yeah it doesn’t in any way belong on the list. And that’s not just the British bias. White Denim doesn’t either. There’s a lot of this sludge on here. It’s good sludge, actually, but not stuff I would recommend to anyone in terms of them needing to hear it before they die. For any reason. 3 Boolean: FALSE
I like SFA and am amazed at their creativity and ability to blend genres, but, that didn’t become as strong a part of their identity until the early 00s. This is a fine debut, but a bit by-the-numbers compared to what they could do only 5 years later.
I misremembered these. I could have sworn they were punky indie pop. But they are massive Blur copyists. Half of it is ok and half is not. It's all just another Brit pop record though.
This is a really enjoyable album! it definitely peaks very early into the album, I think 'Something For The Weekend' should have been more central, around track 6 or 7. The first 3 tracks are brilliant and pretty fun, the last 2 also were, as well as 'If You Don't Want Me To Destroy You'. Essentially, what I'm saying is that this album might fall off towards the middle, but you're never far from a great track and even the weakest tracks are still fun!
Where has this band been all my life? Though I'd heard one album by them, I hadn't listened beyond that and was blown away by this one. A perfect blend of power pop, psychedelic, and unpredictable arrangements that change course mid-song. I love the shaggy, weird Welsh sense of humor too. I listened twice, then listened to the album that followed this one. A great discovery, one of the best so far for me.
Creative, anarchic brit pop punk psychedelia that I can definitely get behind, been sleeping on these guys
Puedo decir que este álbum si me impresionó, lo había subestimado y poco a poco y me fue gustando más creo que es un álbum que estaba bastante adelantado a su época con canciones bastante indie, podría decirlo
Hmm. Sometimes fun mix of Sgt. Pepper's psychedelia (honestly, I don't really get the Syd Barrett flavor much) and 90s rock, Songs are generally catchy, but it feels more like a collection of singles and attempts at singles than an album. There's never really a moment of Oh I see what they're doing here, I understand their sound, I get it. More like Well that's another one. Of its time, but I wouldn't list it.
This was cool. 3.7
It was okayish
Damn, this really bored me sooo much this morning, not horrible but probably no more than 2 stars yay. P.S. I'll give it to them cause the short intro track reminded me of early Eno work so the influences are there
Boring, unoriginal and dull. We didn’t need one Super Furry Animals album on the list and we certainly didn’t need two. Not essential in any way.
Not bad but nothing great and better than others in its class on this list.
Was there an era of brit pop when lead singers tried to sound like Elvis Costello?
Som en fjantigare blur, ibland lät det bra. Men overall forgettable
First listen: it’s fine. It’s another album that is a decent listen, but I have no clue why it’s on the list. Doesn’t seem particularly special or historic or classic. Just a mid-90s album that reminds me a little of Supergrass (although maybe that’s just the “super” piece). Second listen: getting some Blur - Leisure vibes in a few of the songs. “Something 4 The Weekend” is a highlight.
Never heard of them. And when I first saw this I assumed it was going to be some mediocre white guys added to this list, because there’s no shortage of that on here. I actually rather enjoyed this album though. There was a lot of good instrumentation throughout, the vocals were good, and it was very energetic. It was a good rockin’ time. A more garage band version of Oasis with flutes tossed in for good measure.
Oright, oright. First Super Furry Animals album. These guys are an electronic act, if I'm not mistaken. I'm only privy to them because they remixed one of the songs on FC/Kahuna's Machine Says Yes, which is an even more obscure release than anything these guys have put out. I think that the cover artwork for their second album (Radiator) is pretty sweet, too. Oh, and I have a passing familiarity with "Something 4 the Weekend", which originally had the correct usage of "for" in the title but was changed because The Divine Comedy's fantastic song of the same name was released a couple of weeks earlier. Okay, that's all I know about these guys. Hopefully this album will be good. It kind of sucked, not gonna lie. Britpop is once again not doing itself any favours. I usually like songs with a buzzing, reverberating sound, though such was not the case with this album. The instrumentals generally sound quite blown out and overworked, which causes them to regularly clash with the poorly-mastered vocals. The songwriting chops of this album are surprisingly adept, however. The songs usually feature competent and strong vocal melodies - notably on the loftier and more weightless tracks. That being said, the performances are generally quite lazy and washed-out, which undercuts their quality. All in all, I thought this album was a dull, samey and dispiriting listen. Nothing I couldn't handle, however. Book time. "...an artful mishmash of Sixties pop, punk rock, and psychedelia, with an underlying Nineties dance sensibility." "Gruff Rhys' lysergic nonsense vocals were frequently hilarious yet still managed to evoke a gently parochial state of mind." "SFA would go on to create more polished, rounded, "better" albums than this. But for the sheer glee and excitement of hearing a wildly inventive band just hitting their stride, Fuzzy Logic is hard to beat." Wikipedia says this album had two successful singles, was liked by critics and has received enduring acclaim. The album peaked at No. 23 in the UK, but doesn't appear to have charted anywhere else. Hmm. This album doesn't seem to have much going for it, though I am favourable to SFA having one list album purely because of how eclectic their style is. Their other inclusion, "Rings Around the World", appears to be the more acclaimed and successful release, so I'll roll with that album over this one. In place of this album, I humbly submit "The Faust Tapes" by Faust for inclusion on the list.
Not necessarily bad but not really good either. I found this not really engaging and most songs flew by without leaving an impression. Not the worst britpop ever, but there is definitely better picks out there.
these guys are just having a good time
I enjoyed this piece
okay shout out frisbee! this album mad underwhelming and just not very good. 2/5
Nothing special but I liked it
Got a bit of a Sparks vibe from a lot of this but without the range.
The rare 90s modern rock gem that I just completely missed. Got turned on to this a few months ago and while I don’t always love long doses of Britpop, I found lots to enjoy here.
eh, i guess?
Way more interesting than a lot of British bands around that time Different enough from the rest of the britpop crowd by virtue of being super Welsh and proud of it. Odd as fuck in places, also well catchy and pretty in others. Good shit! Favourite track: something 4 the weekend
Really enjoyed this. Beatles inspired Welsh pop!
did not move me, but i enjoyed having it on
It was something for the weekend. Favorite Track: "Fuzzy Birds".
Meh.
First time with the Furries...enjoyed the crunchy guitars, the attitude, the psych touches and the group singing.
This album is all over the place. They can't really figure out what they want to be. "Fuzzy Birds" is basically a David Bowie song. "Something 4 the Weekend" sounds like an end-stage Beatles tune. Really, the closest thing to a through-line stylistically is that the singer really wants to be David Bowie. Maybe in later albums the influences get blended a bit more, but here they're a bit like throwing a pile of soup ingredients in a bowl without cooking them, or even stirring them for that matter. Still, it wasn't terrible. I'd say it was straight-up-the-middle average at 2.5 stars that I'll round up to 3. 3 stars
Definitely an interesting sound that’s a mix of multiple genres. God! Show me the magic was a wonderful opener. it was so weird but perfect. Fuzzy birds was a nice follow up, the going into something 4 the weekend and frisbee. I particularly liked frisbee. I liked the melody of Hometown Unicorn. Gathering moss was very pretty and the following tracks were quite fun. I thought the name of “Hanging with Howard Marks” was quite funny. For now and ever, a great closer to this album. Summed up all it was. A bit silly, lots of fun, but some good moments of music in there. 4/5 ⭐️ 196/1089
That was an album. Not a good one but one where people play music and sing. Not sure why this is on the list. It's all over the place and not sure what it wants to be. It's just not good and I don't understand the accolades for this.
Never heard of these guys before. It was fine. Thank you!
Solid enough second-tier Britpop, some good ones, some a bit indulgently weird
There's some good stuff here but its very inconsistent. 'Fuzzy Birds' is really rough. The rest is like, fine, but doesn't really belong on this list.
Just a pretty average britpop album to be honest. There's nothing inherently wrong with that at all, just a few guys coming together and rocking out on their debut album. Sure, it's a but messy and lacks the focus and production that a great album typically has, but either way is still an interesting listen. There's still that infectious britpop energy that no genre really does it quite like this one. And it really comes through in the way the album is arranged and performed as it really does feel like they are having fun making this. It's interesting hearing this after having already had a Super Furry Animals album and absolutely hating it. I don't exactly love this, and I'm not surprised that on later albums they got a lot more generic (the unfortunate fate of most britpop bands), as this very youthful and energetic vibe is hear impossible to replicate sincerely.
Good tunes
Coming into this knowing nothing, but hating the band name, SFA were already at a disadvantage with me. I did appreciate the immediate ‘fuzzy’ guitar and abrasion. The lyrics sort of distanced me after the music began to soften, and I started to feel that this was a whole band of wet blankets. The last three tracks weren’t so bad, and I added them to my 1001 playlist, but honestly I’ve already forgotten much about them and I’m not so interested to go back and relisten. Probably not ever again. It’s fuzzy logic saying this was something I absolutely had to hear to know anything about anything about music.
Not for me
While listening to the first few tracks I didn't think much of this album, I just liked how much the rhodes/organs and strings were adding to it, but during the last 5 songs I GENUINELLY TRANSCENDED TO HEAVEN
sounded a lot like blur, i was enjoying this and i think i should revisit it at some point, up the welsh 🏴
Fun ride. Quirky, psychedelic, colorful. Bit weird at times but I don't mind.
Never heard of these guys but I loved it! Super fun sounds, really catchy, experimental but not in a grating way.
super fun!
I should really delve into this band. I enjoyed both albums that this album generator has hit me with.
There's a lot going on there, but they seem very happy.
I don’t think this is for me. It’s not bad either
3.5
A little bit better than some of the other generic sounding brit pop/rock. The second half of the album contained some actual interesting songs. But it's a generous 3 stars
There are elements of the Super Furry Animals' debut that give it character. The guitars are fuzzy, and there is some zany theatricality that makes it a lot of fun. Despite those things, it mostly sounds like a typical 90s alternative rock album. Later in their career the band would get weirder, but this one - probably because it's their debut - plays it safer. There's a noisy outro on "Bad Behaviour" and a few songs with group vocals, but there's nothing that weird. There's tons of energy, and you're never left waiting for something to happen. But overall the writing isn't strong or interesting enough to elevate it over the band's contemporaries.
Love it, love SFA. I get why this album was included, but also, this album? It looks like this was their only inclusion, but there’s 4 or 5 albums I’d put in before this (Rings Around the World, Radiator, Guerilla, Phantom Power, hell even their all Welsh album MWNG!) It’s like the author saw a band they wanted to include and said “screw it, make it their debut!” It’s happened repeatedly. I’m happy to see The Man Don’t Give A Fuck is included on the anniversary edition. I saw Gruff Rhys solo one time at a tiny club. It was supporting his American Interior album and he was on tour with a puppet of his ancestor who went looking for a Welsh tribe of native Americans. Remember when SFA bought a decommissioned Soviet tank and installed a massively loud sound system in it?
It is definitely sounding like one of those 90's experimental rock albums. It's a really good album and I think it's criminally underrated. More people need to listen to it. It's a great work of art that isn't very well-known and should definitely be listened to by anyone!
I think like 9/10 of the last albums I’ve listened to have been Brit pop…..I’m exhausted
There's something about them I really don't like. I can't point my finger on it. I tried, honest. Absolutely horrible
Album 1001... and I get the most underwhelming possible album that I could've gotten. I'm not even going to say "arguably" this time. Of the 89 albums I had remaining before today, this is the single most underwhelming album that I could have gotten as album 1001. Like, I was so excited being like "Oh I can't wait to see what I get for album 1001!" and then I get a band that previously gave me a 2/5. Just my luck, am I right? But yeah, we've reached album 1001! This is where I would be done if I was just doing 1 version of the 1001 Albums book, but I'm not, so I still have 88 more days to go after this. I can't believe I've made it this far though. Look, I love this website and I'm so grateful for all of this, but I am ready to be done. I am getting tired of this project for a number of reasons, and unnecessary repeat artists are one of them. Why the hell are there two Super Furry Animals albums on this list? Was one not enough? Did we really need this or was there some bias a-brewin'? As previously mentioned, I gave the other album of theirs, Rings Around the World, a 2/5. I actually re-listened to it a couple of months ago for a sub-project of sorts that I've been working on occasionally throughout this year so far, and I still didn't care for it. But you know what? I actually liked this one more. Fuzzy Logic isn't a bad album. It's not great by any means, but I don't hate it. It's average, which is an improvement from Rings which I felt was below-average. But why do I prefer Fuzzy Logic? I'm not sure. At least, I'm not sure of the full list of reasons. I can try to explain why, I guess. I think this album's energy is a bit more interesting to me personally. The worst moments on here aren't as bad as the worst moments on the other album. The album is 10 minutes shorter. That's probably the biggest reason why I liked this more than Rings Around the World. I still have issues with this album, obviously. The mixing isn't very good and I'm still not huge on the vocals or writing, but this album isn't a bad experience. Dare I say that there were moments that I actually kind of enjoyed somewhat. "God! Show Me Magic" was a decent opener. "Mario Man" is a fun concept. Fuzzy Logic is a fine enough debut album from a band that I still don't really care for. It's not my cup of tea, but I can at least see the appeal of this, you know? Still not a good way to celebrate album 1001, but it could definitely be worse. Light 3/5.
Interesting, chaotic, not unpleasant but I wanted to like it more achos Cymru am byth.
A lot less fun than expected
An odd lot, aren't they? Early tracks sound like they could have been used in Welcome to Wrexham. Some call to mind The Beatles.
bleh
In 1996 Britpop was just starting to take itself a bit too seriously, so it was a good job that Super Furry Animals popped up out of the Welsh valleys to plunder the good bits of late 60s Beatles psychedelia and early 70s glam combined with an indie pop-punk sensibility. They picked their recording studio based on the availability of free jacuzzis and catering, and it sounds like they had a fine time putting this album together. The end result is a whole lot of fun, with the opening track “God! Show Me the Magic” being a blast, followed by a couple of more laid back tracks and Hometown Unicorn being as trippy as the title implies. I love the uniquely Welsh flavour of this, especially the name check for Siân Lloyd on the final track!
I don't think this era of SFA has aged very well: the songwriting is solid, but it sounds too 90s, a bit like the first Supergrass album. Both bands got a lot better with time! I much prefer their later stuff like Rings Around The World.
Fuzzy Logic is filled with a youthful energy that verges on chaos at times. On their debut album, the Welsh band Super Furry Animals combine the prevailing Brit pop sound of the time the fuzzed out energy of punk and classic power pop of the 70s and 80s. The poppy single "God! Show Me Magic" kicks things off energetically. Hit single "Something 4 the Weekend" is reminiscent of Electric Light Orchestra with choppy, rhythmic verses that carreen into a soaring pop chorus. A final standout is "If You Don't Want Me to Destroy You" boasts a different sound with strings and an effective use of falsetto on the chorus.
Fell asleep again but no bad dreams
Okayish britpop. Not offensive but does not excite me either
A couple bangers (God! Show Me Magic and Something 4 the Weekend) but the album is uneven and it's not a total album experience I would want to have again. Rating: 2
This is an extremely weak album. 1 star or F+.
I don't really know how to describe this album, i just feel like its just......uninteresting? Like its just a bit boring but i wouldn't exactly call it bad music to be honest, But nothing necessarily good. Maybe its just simply not for me. Very forgettable to say the least.
The UK bias of this list is coming through with this selection. I really don’t get it. There’s nothing unique or interesting here, it’s like a shittier unmemorable weezer.
love sfa, great debut - but the best was still to come. will be giving this ***** just to battle the stupid reviewers on here
fun, ni super memorabel
I liked it! Cool alt rock, interesting voices, good sound.
Вау какая ебанина
Квадробинг 90-х
not bad
This is just a generic britpop album from start to finish. I try to wait until after I listen to the album before looking at other user reviews, and that seems to be the main sentiment of the review section anyway. The whole record just feels incredibly formulaic, relying heavily on the standard mid-90s guitar pop tropes without adding anything fresh or exciting to the table. While a couple of the singles have somewhat catchy hooks, the deep cuts quickly fade into the background as uninspired filler. It completely lacks the distinct personality, sharp wit, or massive anthemic energy that the top-tier bands of that era were putting out, imo.
6/10
Landfill indie before we started calling it that. Good album but not exactly breaking new ground for me. Kind of forgot it was on while listening to it.
Straight into fun, I like how it starts. Punky, but more alt. Really fun, really good. A winner. Gathering Moss: Italian rasta? Some fun curveballs. Pretty great overall.
Just straight to the album with God! Show me magic like I thought it was ease me into the album, it really pushed me into it.
I had so many issues listening to this. Some of them were about the music and some of them were that I had that 20 something remaster that had over 30 tracks. I listened for like 30 minutes and didn't realize. I heard some bright spots but left confused.
This was unexpectedly very cool. Love it! Will definitely listen again. Edit: 100-album calibration - changing from a 4 to a 5 since I keep going back to this!

gar nicht meins
These guys were clearly influenced by 70s rock, but there's a bunch of other sounds incorporated here (grunge, punk, even some prog). The variety is nice and nicely done, even if it isn't 100% original. 4.0/5.0: Great
mostly enjoyable. the highs are really high but the lows are just as low
Great band!
This album confirms my suspicion that I clearly don't understand the Britpop phenomenon at all. Far more than the other Super Furry Animals in this collection, I would have guessed this fit neatly into the Britpop category, with its largely retro-pop orientation (and that several of the songs reminded me strongly of Blur and Pulp, especially "God! Show me magic" and "Something 4 the weekend", and maybe "Bad behavior"). Weird too to read that the band thought the album would be an antidote to Britpop's backwards-looking musical vision, since that's pretty much describes *all* of the songs I've heard so far by them. Regardless, although I was skeptical that having another Super Furry Animals in the collection was going to add much, I think I enjoyed this album a bit more than "Rings around the world", and also appreciated it that the few tracks that had videos were at least seemingly connected to the songs.
Interesting but not nearly as good as Rings Around the World or Phantom Power which are terrific albums.
Super fun album ;) gives me having fun in your room alone feelings.
Ehhhh. Ehhhhhhhhhh. Even right after listening, my memory is a little fuzzy, so my logic on rating this album might not be totally sound. It's serviceable, it has more good points than bad, although I know what people mean when they whinge about british albums on this list.
Really can’t say that I’m a fan. This album, like the other from them, was all over the place. Some slightly enjoyable, some abrasive and annoying. 2+ overall.
Has a sort of blur sound but a bit more psychedelic, mostly fine but nothing too exceptional here 3.5*
I got a fevah and the only curah is more lah, lah, lah, lah, lah from yet another britpop bunch. Kind of amazing that this was ever popular from a country that's probably hungover 50% of the time... this must've landed for the other 50% of the time that they either were working on getting drunk or were drunk.
Sorprendió.
4,5
British pop. Not terrible, but I would never listen to it voluntarily. Reminds me of Pulp, but a tiny bit less annoying.
Brit Pop bleh to me, no memorable tracks for me
When I saw the album title and artist name I thought it was an album from The Muppets - and it actually sounds like it, too... It's very rough, with a lot of elements mixed together and creative ideas, but often it just sounded too chaotic and crowded to me.
Never heard of Super Furry Animals before this. Welsh psychedelic indie rock, 1996. The sound didn't grab me — eclectic to the point of unfocused, nothing stayed. Pleasant enough while it played, gone the moment it stopped. 2/5 — fuzzy logic, no clear conclusion.
Melodic, fuzzy riffs, lots of effects, rich instrumentation? On paper I should like this. But somehow I really didn't. Perhaps because it was all over the place, and not in a good way. 1.5/5 - weak
Didnt sound like anything special to me. Dont get me wrong, it isnt awfull but it doesnt do mutch diffrent in my opinion. I feel like the rock gerne has been so overexplored over the years that doing anything that isnt basicly an other gerne sounds simular. For the time probably great but kinda just rock now.
Started off okay, but got worse each song. Still somehow better than the beatles.
First punk-rock song was actually pretty good, especially for a 90s britpop band, however it only went downhill from there with the same beatles wanna be with slight punk influences. I still don't understand why for some reason people decided that bad singing was supposed to be good in the 90s. It is genuinely impressive how they're able to make hate each song more and more.
Une autre affaire correctdinaire qui va glisser dans mon oubli comme une lettre à la poste.
Unfortunately the inclusion of this album rather misses the point of SFA as there's nothing in Cymraeg on it. I get why that's the case, but if you're going to put a SFA album on the list then it has to respect their importance in the whole Cool Cymru thing. There's stuff on the extended album of course – most importantly (Nid) Hon Yw'r Gân Sy'n Mynd I Achub Yr Iaith, which rather sums up the point of the band for me in lots of ways. But there you go. I suspect most times I've listened to SFA in the past has been on Welsh language compilations and the like. I do rather like, predictably, Mwng and the band has a handy Cymraeg playlist on Spotify that's worth a listen. I enjoyed this enough to give 4 stars, but, honestly, there's something about the stuff that's not in English that's just a little more special.
I think this is an interesting band. I haven’t listened to them since I got my last album of theirs in Jan 2025, but they’ve grown on me since then.
This is a great discovery for me! Trippy, fuzzy, Syd Barret/David Bowie influenced brit-pop with the genre often changing within the same song. There are truly no bad songs on this album. Added Gathering Moss, Mario Man and others to my favorites list.
fine
Enjoyed it.
I love the Furries. Not giving this a 5 because they weren't quite there yet, but it's a joyous listen nonetheless.
I dunno. This feels harsher than it needs to be. But I wouldn’t actively come back, at least right now.
Meh
FWIW these guys are clearly having a blast. Like the last Furries album, a bit woo woo for me...
Ween but boring.
Fun ride. But a little all over the place with the genre of the songs. I'm missing a general through line.
Пулп, суеде, зевёрв, оазис кор(также известный как брит-поп)
Superb
I feel like I've heard of these guys, but between them, Supergrass, and Supertramp I'm not sure. Definitely didn't know they were Welsh (and man, do they have some Welsh names!) This was a pleasant listen late Saturday night with a buzz.
This was fun. The last track lost me a bit, but overall a good time.
Didn't feel much.
this was very good
Not bad, reminds of Pulp (big fan of Pulp) and Blur, it's going in a good direction you know, some great songs and moments on this, but some lesser tooooo. If you're really dying for more glam-ish sounding britpop, I'd recommend this, clever stuff.
Every time I have heard this band I am surprised at how much I like them. Great pop rock, with more emphasis on the rock. Catchy tunes that make you think
Something 4 the weekend é divertidissima e tá sempre na minha rotation. 3,5+
At first I thought "this is somewhat interesting" then I remembered it's supposedly one of those 1001 you should listen to before you die. It isn't
🎧Why is this here?
More like the super furry amateurs. Why is this on the list?
“Fuzzy logic” is why this album is on this list
I think I just dont like Super Furry Animals
It's not bad, but I also don't really care for it?
On paper, Brit-pop vibes with some fuzz is something I should really enjoy, but this just falls short in every way. When it "rocks" it sounds neutered. When it gets quirky I find it more annoying than quaint. When it gets psychedelic it sounds like they micro-dosed to be safe. I'd like to say it's better than Rings Around, but I honestly found it hard to really pay attention to either one.
Actually pretty good
not very interesting. sort of punk, sort of pop. overall nothing I would listen to again
Welsh creativity and a certain sense of style - can’t say it’s exactly for me, but I can appreciate it
This was like everything bad about 90s britpop all distilled down together.
Favorite track(s): It's possible that this blight on Britannia goes back further than originally thought. At least they're Welsh, I guess.
Not bad.
This was getting hate in the reviews and I don't get it. This was so much fun! Weird at times, but really good. Not a ton of fluff here either which I appreciated. I thought the whole band was strong Liked Songs: "God! Show Me Magic" , "Something 4 the Weekend" , "Frisbee" , "Hometown Unicorn" , "If You Don't Want Me to Destroy You" , "Bad Behaviour" , "Mario Man" , "Hangin' with Howard Marks" , "For Now and Ever"
5: Fuzzy Logic 4: Crime of the Century, Pink Flag, Arrival, 3: Darkness on the Edge of Town, Court and Spark 2: Ramones, Paul's Boutique, When I Was Born For The 7th Time 1: Rain Dogs
One of the albums of the britpop era. God show me magic blasts away with humour and melody, underpinned with a Welsh accent. This adds to the experience in songs like if you don't want me to destroy you and hometown unicorn which hark back to some of the best 60s music but with a definite super furry animals signature. All in all a must listen
Great if you're looking for more Psychedelic British rock/ pop. They have a solid sound and I've never heard of the band before. A few of the ending songs lose my interest with the majority of the best stuff in the first half. A couple songs will be saved to highlights.
totally fine alt rock album with 70s/psychedelic influences. i would listen again when in a better mood. sorry but this isn't groundbreaking so 3
No. 196 This is fun, as music should be. Not perfect, but tons of charm.

Taki britpop. Ani ziębi, ani grzeje. Porządne 3
I've reached my limit with generic unmemorable 90s Brit Pop while being less than a third of the way through this list...
I vaguely remember hearing their singles in the 90s and thinking that Super Furry Animals were Britpop also-rans. Listening to an entire album basically confirmed that for me. Though they do sound that they were more influenced by 70s music compared to the 60s music of the bigger Britpop acts. The album more or less washed over me, without any tracks standing out. It's definitely not an album that feels important enough to make the 1001 list.
I don’t understand how this is in the top 1001 albums, nothing going on here
Dull
totally forgettable.
Quite strange. Not really sure what the genre is. Reminds me of lots of different things all at once. Not sure if like.
Un peu trop pop pour moi.
Intéressant, d'emblée le gros mur de disto et le volume de l'album dans l'auto comparativement à l'album précédent (BOB), je me suis dit: 'ah ben cet album là est dans le loudness war d'après moi'. J'ai trouvé ça cool, un petit côté Beatles/Oasis pis toutes, je vais probablement y retourner.
Bien aimé la chanson d'ouverture. C'était agréable, mais sitôt oublié.
If Jethro Tull, Madness, and a bad Beatles cover band had an illegitimate baby.
I really love SFA, seen them live a few times and Gruff Rhys many more. This album is where it began for me. I know this was released in the mid nineties on Creation but it isn’t Brit Pop. It’s unquestionably Welsh rather than British for a start. But also it’s a psyche record for fans of Flaming Lips and Mercury Rev (and prefigured their breakthrough records). It’s a fun humourous record that’s rooted in the geography of a unique place.
I’m saddened to listen to this and remember that this was indie edgy not mainstream? And now it just sounds mid?
This one wasn't really for me. Enjoyed some of the tracks, but wasn't too impressed overall.
Only heard of them, didn’t know any songs. Ya, it was nice, cool sounds here.
Me parece excelente álbum. Por momento tranquilo por momento más enérgico. Todas las canciones tuvieron algo bueno a destacar.
Bland Best Song: If You Don't Want Me to Destroy You Rating: 4/10 Stars: 2
Although I'm into britpop this one does not convince me at all. 2,5
Another moderately good brit-pop/alternative album. I will say it's better than their other stuff I've listened to. There's nothing super impressive or special here but it's fine.
Pretty fuzzy, pretty electric. Sounds exactly like how it’s supposed to sound (like, rock at that time and shi)
하드락... 그린데이, 마이 케미컬 로멘스깔이 좀 있다 좋다
Decent enough, but their music never really stays with me.
Context is important. The first track “God! Show Me The Magic” sounded amazing immediately after the last track on Ray Price’s NIGHT LIFE. (Then again, most anything would.) Pleasant enough, and I definitely have a soft spot for Britpop from this era.
Fuzzy Logic felt like a grab‑bag Britpop trip where a couple tracks really pop and the rest slide into “nah,” so it lands as a “glad I tried it, but yeah…
Theresa a lot of OK mixed with NOT OK in this album, and its mixed together at times.
starts strong, ends bland
One or two songs were OK but, all in all, the album is so unremarkable that it results annoying...
some fun 90s welsh rock that was so nostalgic.
Fine. Sounded more rocky and more Britpop than I was expecting, having only know Juxtapozed with U by them. Probably a 3+.
This one punched above its weight for sure. Did not expect much going in, but was very entertaining and dynamic. Definitely worth one listen at least.
Nope, not for me
Creepy cover dude. Not cool. I give up with this shit. Most the albums are not what I must hear. Hey, Alexander, you're a wanker. Go fuck yourself.
Skemmtilegt og smá fjölbreytt.
6/10
(47/100)
Hmm, never really took much notice of them back in the day. Was a bit meh on first listen but it improved and I ended up listening a few times. Nothing groundbreaking or different but enjoyable enough. Better than their other one on here Really wish I could give a 3.5
Maes B chills. Instantly back to the late 90s. Has worn well. Cymru does Britpop.
Another that I had originally in the 90s and hadn't heard for ages. Still great!
🙂
466/1089 - I kinda liked it. Feels like a crazier early-Blur.
no se que es mas raro el disco o el nombre del grupo
I'm sad that I didn't know about this in the 90s.
If the Beatles time traveled to the 90's and took that eras pharmaceuticals for a test-drive.
Cool but ultimately didn’t do enough for me
A+ for name, eh B- for tunes
Fun enough. Carly relates to the band name
I'm not wanting to leave a negative review today So I will simply refer you to the existing 1 and 2 star reviews, who have already done a sterling job of pulling apart the shortcomings of this band
It's fine. It's one of these days were listening to an album in this project feels like a chore, but the record itself has is alright.
Ok but nothing special
First Listen; 2.5; Not necessarily the worst thing I've heard, but just feels very basic and predictable. Feels like a lot of this is noodling around on the pentatonic scale, using brit-pop cliche sounds, etc. It's fun in places and some okay songs, but not something that's one of the 1001 albums you must hear before you die. Favorite Track God! Show Me Magic
i was expecting some weird album about animals, but it's a quite fun and energetic album that happens to have some songs with animal-related lyrics. It was alright
I never took Super Furry Animals seriously. Not in a “I didn't think they were good enough to be taken seriously” kind of way, more that I always thought there was an element of intentional comedy or parody to their music. And some of the resemblances I hear don’t exactly help me shake that impression. On “Frisbee”, it sounds like Adam Buxton has been drafted in to provide his trademark “hoo hoo ha ha”s. “Hometown Unicorn” sounds like Flight of the Conchords doing Bowie. But, much like Buxton or The Conchords, that doesn’t really matter when the songs themselves are this enjoyable. There’s a proper retro 70s vibe running through the album, along with some really catchy melodies and great guitar tones. I don’t think it’s the kind of album that'll stick in my head or that I'll feel compelled to go on about, but it was good craic. Every song is enjoyable, and there’s something very easy and likable about the whole thing. I’m still not fully sure how seriously I’m meant to take it, but I enjoyed it enough that I don’t really care. 3.5 stars
I liked the other SFA album better, didn't had a memorable moment through.
super british 90s pop rock
Overall Rating - 3.21/5 (6.42/10). Solid album. Nothing special, but nothing bad.
More Britpop. Lovely. This time going beyond just being influenced by 60s rock to trying to sound more like it. It's ok I guess. A couple of annoying tracks, the rest forgettable and boring. I certainly didn't need to har this. 2.5
Was fine.
Before listening yesterday I thought to myself, "honestly, maybe this is gonna be a four star". So many tunes. This is their first album, so the songwriting is not quite as accomplished as it became, but it more than makes up for that with youthful vigour - and it's got all the hallmarks of any great Super Furries record. The Beach Boys backing vocals, the six-minute pop sagas in three movements, the bangers and the anthems. Perhaps I was concerned for it's five star status because its more ramshackle than what they crafted later in life, but of course that's what made it great. It's SO britpop. Literally sounds like a bunch of stoopid teenagers made a silly album about all their stoopid injokes. I'm here laughing along like OMG I was there for that it was AMAZING. I wasn't - obviously - but they make me feel like I was. Love you guys :')
mid 4
A mixture of neo psychedelia, britpop and power pop (among many other styles), and yet, quite forgettable. Starting from the positives, I think this album is quite playful, fun and even shows some ambition thanks to the mix of many styles, making most of the songs feel unique in their own. It also can be sometimes quite catchy, but it isn't their strongest point, as they occasional fall into the very generic melodies of popular British music from that period. Another aspects I really like are the guitar work and distortion. The instruments sounds super noisy and play some occasional good riffs. What they don't really have are good solos. They basically play or experiment with the guitar, making super noisy sounds just for the sake of it and not really contributing to the music. What this album really suffers from is being a product of its time and not aging the best due to, as already said, some melodies being a bit too generic and forgettable. In addition, regardless of pointing out the mixture of genres as a positive thing, they aren't truly crafting something truly impactful or that interesting. Still, I think it is a decent album, and certainly a fun experience even if it isn't super special.
I was surprised this is from 1996, the music feels older not in a bad way just they style. Its an ok album with good mixing and interesting songs. Not something that I will seek up to listen to again though.
First listen (somehow). Bit of a retro Britpop sound, but it’s apeing music I like so that’s ok by me. If you don’t take it too seriously its a decent album. 3
I’m tired of this album not getting the recognition it deserves. Easily a 10/10.
Gotta support my fellow Welsh countrymen! Great album, great band and Gruff’s solo stuff is good too.
This was fun but it never grabbed me
5.5/10
Well done Britt pop type stuff some weird flourishes make it pretty fun ultimately kind of left me cold though. Sounds are better than the song ideas sometimes.
This was actually a really good album, kind of never really spent much time on Super Furry Animals, not sure why, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Catchy, fun. Not immediately memorable. 3
Didn't mind this, but my taste had shifted when they were big. Mid to high 2s.
I couldn't get into this album either. It felt like the songs ranged from far out psychedelic past the point where I'm staying interested, or generic rock with lame singing. Not for me.
Meh.
It's fine, like, but not sure it belongs here.
cool
kinda punk vibes. it's brighter than grunge (thank G-d). fuzzy birds--A FLUTE SOLO???? hell yeah something 4 the weekend--getting strong beatles vibes but like punk gathering moss--love this variety ok per usual my listening notes trail off by the end. good album. got that punky cheerfulness that i enjoy. musically varied (with flute solo!). i couldn't give this less than 4.5/5, so here's to rounding up lol.
New artist to me, but really enjoyed this album! Will be adding to the rotation.
