Weird how familiar that album cover is considering I've never listened to it. I thought maybe I'd never listened to it because I didn't like them but I guess it was more just the restrictive price of cds and means of music sharing in 1996. And the fact that I wasn't indie enough. No beef with sfa.

First the speaker tried to play me 'Hey Shearer' by Newcastle United.
Eventually listened on my phone, would like to listen again properly, think I liked it. Lots of motels.

I'm going to do it, it's a 5. Familiarity bias. But god, this album on a Sunday morning. Don't really know why, I just like the heartbreak, the storytelling and the chance to go full Bob on the singalong. Definitely his best .

Led Zeppelin
Led Zeppelin
Ok, am I finally getting Zeppelin? On their first album? Opening really grabbed me, then went off the boil a bit with You Shook Me (no ACDC is it). Back on with Your Time Is Gonna Come. No to the solo track. Yes to Communication Breakdown. Ah more blues, apparently I don't like the bluesy ones. Ugh and that the last track wangs on. It's getting 4 only because it's better than the other Zeppelins.

Devil Without A Cause
Kid Rock
I didn't hate that, which is odd because early 00s when Kid Rock was all the boys I knew would play at 'parties', I did not like at all. Definitely dumb but in no way the worst thing I've listened to in this journey. As ever, the lyrics are probably objectionable if I could pick them out.

Antichrist Superstar
Marilyn Manson
So my usual problem with this genre, the guitars are good and riffy, it's not devoid of melody but the 'singing', ugh. Didn't hate as much as I thought I would, but wasn't sad when the internet stopped it. Can't follow the the lyrics, I expect they aren't to my taste. Went on a bit too.

Kind of Christmassy? Medieval folk harmonies? Wrote that before looking at the track names - they suggest that is there vibe they were going for. Bit twee. Not one of my favourite debut albums of all time!

You cannot deny the energy of this album. Great guitar riffs and certainly more melody than other punk from this era. Familiarity bias, sure (excuse to listen to the LP (not original), but deducting a point for some samieness

Well I didn't really think I liked ska, but this was a bop. Whether that was familiarity bias because of the songs i knew, or if I'm just more familiar with this style from drum n bass. Dandy Warhols used as a sample?

There's definite bangers on here. I would listen again, and I'm sure I've listened before (familiarity bias). Just not quite sure it's a 5. I might just be being contrary because I know it's highly acclaimed
