Remember when we forgot for awhile that other countries had instruments too? I'd listen to Chali 2na read the phonebook
Like listening to a blueprint of what was to come in 1980s.
Moby was good. So many of these songs were in our subconscious and we didn't even know it. I guess that's what happens when you're good at writing music with long cultural teeth and licensing it
"Friction" is one of the horniest songs I've ever heard. "Marquee Moon" pioneering the brain-fuck off-time guitar part solo intro. Also pioneering self-indulgent guitar wankery at the end of the album
Abjectly East Coast. Didn't realize NAS came up around Tribe. Harder than Tribe, though.
Beautiful timbre and emotion, but not melodic in a way I can appreciate right now.
Took a creamy, measured musical moment and filled it with anachronistic, difficult language in "JC Hates Faggots".

A lot less heavy than I thought it would be. I wasn't aware of the non-hook sections of this album and was way more musical than I was expecting. Ozzy was charismatic and def a force in this band, but I would classify him as musically-inclined and not necessarily a musician. "Hand of Doom" that intro made me think I had cut to a diff album

It's cool to be rough around the edges and imperfect, so long as you do it with a bilge full of panache

So dense. Curious about how Elton John got into ska.
Not as iconic as I had imagined, outside of "Don't You Forget About Me"
so lush
