3 of the 10 songs really stood out to me. The rest were nice, but not something I would listen to on repeat (unlike the three below).
Really liked "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" - a long rocky song, with a nice fat sax towards the latter half of it.
In general, you can definitely tell this record was setting the foundations for a lot of future rock music.
"I Got The Blues" has a really cool organ/piano solo in the middle. Super rocky and jivy, despite the slow tempo of the song.
Despite the low amount of listens, "Sister Morphine" is a really great song, piano distantly playing in the background, and the "country"-esque guitar sound all the way through is nice. The guitar that plays in the beginning and throughout plays chords that constantly remind me of Stairway To Heaven (the part before the drums kick in).

Mostly only enjoyed Heart-Shaped Box. The rest of the songs were not my jam, mostly consisting of grungy guitars and Kurt Cobain screaming with a bit too much distortion.

Did not expect a PS1 intro sound on the first song. Strong beginning!
I remember "Thinkin Bout You" being played constantly on the radio, overexposed me to it, so I might rate it lower based on that.
"Fertilizer" is a great bridge-song.
Really digging "Sweet Life", a super funky/groovy song. The bass lifts the entire song.
Also really liked "Super Rich Kids".
I'm a sucker for long songs, so "Pyramids" is totally my jam. That guitar at the end, and that keychange in the middle of the song. So good.

IT'S TRICKAAAY - only now I realise it samples My Sharona from The Knack.
Rest of the album was pretty funky, definitely prefer this old-school kind of rap from the modern one.

What is this immediate awesomeness? "Dancing With The Moonlit Knight" evolves into something akin to Rush.
This whole album is just so good! The prog-rock and Rush-like elements are amazing. "Firth Of Fifth" is an amazing track, but so are all the other songs!
"The Battle Of Epping Forest" is a long epic melodic treat, filled with shifting time signatures, awesome synth sounds and great drumming!

Had no knowledge of the artist before now. The album is so soothing and full of relaxing guitarplay. Will definitely give this more listens.

Some nice and funky music. Though I understand the band had some issues recording the song "Run Charlie Run", and I gotta be honest, hearing them sing "the n*****s are coming" was not that great 😅

The first 2 songs feel like they came up with 1 minute of material, then used the repeat function in FL Studio.

The fact that Ice-T just threw in a rock song in this album is so cool. The rest of the album is very good too, always liked the 90's rap more than any other era of rap (yes I'm looking at you, mumble rap).

First song started off slow, but really picked up about halfway through. An enjoyable listen.
I Could Be Dreaming sounds like something out of The Sims...
Rest of the songs were okay, an enjoyable listen, but not something I would revisit.

Most of the songs up until Outer Space were pretty meh/weird. Some really cool synths and melodies on Outer Space, JC Hates Faggots, Caramel, Leopard and Lamb.
Queen of Denmark and That's The Good News have serious Bo Burnham energy.
