## tracks
- sex beat: surprisingly subtle lyrics for punk. no such luck on the melody. 6/10
- preaching the blues: cool vibes 7/10
- promise me: slide guitar mmm,
- she's like heroin to me: strong 8/10
- for the love of ivy: same chords, rythm, vibes as she's like heroin? was I expecting punk to be creative..
- ghost on the highway:
- black train: actually different, vocals
## overall thought
hear one song and you've heard them all but that's the genre right? pick a different rythm, key, vocal delivery. innofensive background energy. 80s must have been dire if this is some of its best 5/10
mother of earth came on right after and hooo boy!
Odd mixing, strong lyrics and themes.
- fucking long
- nice balence of trad / modern
- strong themes, emotive.
- some overly trad songs
- odd flow of the album --> meet me at the station into soon as I get home.
- good variety of styles and vibes
- never listened to Lynn before, now I know why.
- Jesus, the 60s must have been dire... No, Sgt. Pepper and Hendrix's first album came out this year. It was just this album that's dire.
- genuinely checked whether my sub was plugged in.
- this album rocks but maybe dwells on some loops a little too long.
- I forgot how much fun it is to work to big-beat, album is almost too dance-able to go with spreadsheets.
- undersells its bass and guitars, oversells the phasing square synths.
- fairly repetitious structure in most tracks (strong & creative intro, energetic beats to 3/4 mark, then a downtempo loop breakdown that's a little too long)
- second half is a strong shift, astute ordering.
- The Matrix 4 can't come fast enough.
- great themes
- interesting instruments
- cohesive album
- vocal affectation is an acquired tastes
- bluesy vibe but pedestrian chords.. where's the jazz?
- few tracks that are just eh
- songs are so short they are almost jingles..
- Strong concept and sound.
- Overstays welcome with somewhat repetitious energy
- No musicianship flair in the solos
- Pioneering but not quite timeless
- Unambitious rhyme schemes with some standouts (By the time I get to Arizona)
- Interesting samples, nailing it occasionally (Can't Truss It)
- Dated but stands up but is no Enter The Wu Tang
- Strong variety of paces and beats
- strong musicianship
- kinda out there but also poppy
- wildly explicit lyrics, truly shocking
- punchy drums and punchier delivery.
- surprised with the variety and consistently high quality of blues
- One or two filler tracks
- misc screams are the real MVP
- dated themes. Consistent.. but boring.
- washed out mixing putting too much focus on wobbly vocals, not enough on mids.
- bands known for pushing boundaries at the time don't age well because the boundaries keep being pushed.
- atrocious rap
- not sad that the nasal style of singing isn't a trend anymore
- great guitars and synths, strong musical energy
- Nice lounge sound meets 3 piece jazz
- Sax has strong improv, would love a drum solo
- Mellow hammond organ, a little far back in the mix but impressive.
- good background music, cool bass
- repetitive beats (apart from like the swallow)
- doesn't feel like it's pushing the buck that far, wondering why it's in the top 1001?
- definitely dry mixing
- strong pace and energy
- not the strongest anthrax album but maybe the most influential?
- Cohesive album, a little slow to dance to.
- synths are so clean they could have been made yesterday. Timeless.
- Will listen to again but needs a specific mood.
- this album fucks, groovy.
- flairs of innovation but not too out there.

- fun, cool, instrumentals,
- nice mixing
- some standouts but no song likes
- energy, variety, passion
- personally like the sound they drive
- might re-listen
- disharmonies are intriguing,
- will definitely listen to again but needs right mood
- not listened to much shoegaze but might explore more
- nice enough vibes, oddly out of period
- accessible, diverse jazz
- strong musicianship, no band ~sound~ though
- less said about A Gospel the better.
- genuinely hard to rate a genre of music you don't know
- nice balance of busy and background
- can't tell the different impacts of the ragas but fascinating introductions.
- surprising variety of beat / melody
- genuinely making me smile
- lots of solid songs, this one is going into the rotation
- fun country-esque energy

- melodies are pretty fun
- stellar recordings,
- warm vibes of home, first crooner I've enjoyed

- while discordant, quite listenable
- well ordered album
- really like the sound; electronic, post-punk
- a little dirge-ish in places but overall fun

- joyous, fun folk/ska blend
- more than a one-hit wonder album

- distinctive strong sound. kinda sad this is the first time I've come across it.
- Like a mature Killers
- So glad to have this suggested.
- wonderful, joyous and jazzy
- consistent album, nice flow
- some funky standouts and big hitters (Sir Duke being more popular than Isn't She Lovely surprised me)
- strong variety of emotion and energy. from energetic Kowalski to mellow Star to introverted Burning Wheel.
- strong production value
- Personally loved the album, so many likes.
- easy listening, some spicier tracks but overall chilled.
- bigband not my thing, solos a little muddy.
- Drums are the standout, maybe followed by piano.
- terribly balanced for me at least.

- joyous with range
- strong instrumentation, folk roots but rocky punk vibe

- so much fun, great vibes
- great quality for a live album
- left the album radio on all day
- so many likes
- first good punk album I've listened to

- Funky and energetic. A more musical RATM.
- Great vocal delivery, lots of time for it.
- Would have loved to hear more of the bassist and drummer
- iffy volume mixing, nice for background with moments where it steals your attention.
- Out-there but not as out-there as other Kate Bush stuff. Nicely listenable.
Strong musicianship, interesting vibes and very listenable.
- Fun afrobeat with engaging musicianship
- Somewhat repetitive and boring in parts but nice in the background
- Some sections are jazzy and engaging but big-band makes it a little messy.
- funky, impactful and diverse
- but also coherant?
- prince blends into the band, strong composing to hide the musicienship
- almost without talent.
- trying very hard
- drums miss the transitions more often than not
- lyrical delivery really shows up how vapid the lyrics are.
- it's short and I still didn't finish it
- first Cohen I've heard and blown away
- strong cohesive direction but doesn't overstay it's theme
- variety but also very powerful.
