hold on to your butts

top 2 by mister Joel

Not a single miss. Rock, funk, energy, segues, chunky rhythm guitar, Flea turned up to 11, and classic raunch liberally sprinkled throughout. Could listen on repeat for at least 3 times straight. PS this is my go-to album for driving crosstown through Manhattan.

Nice find! "Interesting funk" My favorites are the least-popular (according to Spotify)

I thought this was a different band! Stereogum maybe? Pleasantly surprised - drum machines!

great pulse, donna summer-esque, but too repetitive

Nostalgia and groove, but serious offenders of nickel-backing

Disco-funk songs are excellent with smooth bass runs - but their slow stuff is uninspired

whoaaaa, proto-CAN!

false

in his prime - top album

Why, when Neil Diamond exists?

Title track is pretty good, as is Mary's Place, rest is bland

peak Chicago?

early albums way better...

Not super fan of lyrics, but cool rhythms and sounds.

Pop-y CAN!

top 5 Neil albums, but a few misses knocks it down

classic - but I can't hear Smoke on the Water even one more time!

Crosstown (bus!)

who is this guy?!?!

The hits are good, but the rest are worse than forgettable.

Some stellar Talk Talk on here, but too many misses to listen all the way through

Better than I remember, and definitely a few gems in there, but compared to previous albums it's just hard to feel completely satisfied

the Hits are hits, and the filler are near-hits. Can listen to Train in Vain all day long...

In their Top 3

catchy hooks, surprise funk, driving beat, and ridiculous FUN lyrics. Refreshing.

Freedom of course, but a few other surprising tunes on here. I'd listen again, in 4 months maybe.

Manheim steamroller presents!

Again, how have I not heard of this band (but everyone knows their songs)? Catchy sing-alongs!

Top three Cars album, but the bar is pretty high. It's probably the one most packed with hits, so maybe just a tad over-played for me? Either way, can't get enough of that guitar tone....

Funky and cool beats, but too many tracks take too long to pick up steam

10cc has some hits - deservedly. But none are on this album. Wall Street shuffle is dated, but more importantly just plain boring. Or is the whole album a satire? Irregardless, it still should have some musicality...

Who doesn't have this on a heavy slab of vinyl with thick cardboard sleeve? A classic, killer grooves, fun percussion sounds to keep interesting with texture...listening on repeat.

two mega-hits and some decent body. Sure there's filler, but easily overlooked.
