Great 1989 alternative music--a bit punk, a bit itself. From the first track I knew them. (Debaser). The hits on this album are "Here Comes Your Man" and "Hey"--I also liked Debaser, I Bleed, Monkey Gone to Heaven--and Silver. Gouge Away is good too.
I mean, genius stuff. Punchy, fluid. Great mixing. Inventing things and reinventing things. Gritty and angry, but playful.
Holy damn wow. 1990?! 1990!!!!???!?! The whole album is good, with incredibly clever, powerful rhymes delivered perfectly, the mixing is great, the samples are minimal but effective--this is the perfect rap album, and I can't believe it happened in 1990. LL Cool J is the father of modern rap, and it's right here in this album. When he does the obligatory "I am the greatest at this and you suck" rap songs, a weird staple of all rap albums, I JUST NOD AND AGREE.
Title track is justifiable hit--clever, innovative, builds on what Beatles did. I liked Mrs. Vandebilt and Let Me Roll It... plenty of good tracks. But I'm done.
Slow, lush, and ponderous. Didn't grab me.

I'd put it on. Well done.

The only kind of jazz I listen to recordings of, this still didn't quite find way into me. Sorry Billie!
Love this. But will never listen to the whole album. Will probably never dip in again. great work though!
So *that's* where that came from... ("Passin' Me By"... I've heard it remixed and used in other places.) There isn't anything else on the album I loved-- though "Oh Shit" is pretty good.
Is this album the inspiration for Duval's "The Apostle"? I like how spare and clean the arrangements are. But I'm all set. Not for me.
Fine, good, 1983 hardcore. No hits for me to remember, but the skill is there.
No one receiving? -Okay! This is interesting stuff. I don't know I'm in 1977. I will listen to more at some point.
Eh. Opening track with Sinead O'Connor vocals was interesting...
A weird one, for sure--this is not the Bee Gee hits that you know (like "Stayin' Alive"), it's a moody concept album, and it wasn't well-received (Wikipedia). But playing the opening track (Odessa, City on the Black Sea)--I get it. They're doing something with a bit more of a timeless sound. Most of the album has that oozy feeling that I dislike about music of the era, but some of it is timeless and innovative.
It's almost a kind of... zydeco/Dr. John sound? I've heard Moondance of course, which I took to be a sort of Jazz standard. I liked "Crazy Love"... but overall, the album all sort of blurs together into that swaggery voice thing... I appreciate the talent, but I am not a fan.
I should love this. I don't. Not sure why. Not punk enough anymore, and edging into an era of rock I'm all done with? I don't know. This bored me. Wild. Sorry!

This is good. But I have a lot of trouble listening to (and understanding) R&B.
Queen has 10 songs that everyone knows. And... and tons of other songs that nobody knows. A modern music listener could be forgiven for thinking of Queen as those 10 songs, and wishing, "gosh, wish I had more songs with Queen's sound!" Well... guess what? They're here. This was all... fine. But I've got enough Queen sound already? I guess.
It's... fine, I guess? People worked hard on making this album, and it sounds great. But I will never seek it out again.
Pretty great. Unhappy white boy punk music, smoother and less shouty than Ramones. Alternative rock from 90s/00s sounds like a descendent to this.
1962, electric piano awesomeness. Instrumental. Lovely. Listenable. Anytime.
Okay--I vaguely recalled some of these songs, and thought it was pretty good, then wondered, "Wait, who's Oasis?" So I looked at their top songs--which are all from their later album and include... Wonderwall. Of meme fame. And Champagne Supernova, etc. I like this older album a bit better, it was more cluttered and had scratchy edges which I enjoyed. Overall though? This just isn't long-term-love music for me. It's good alt rock.
