No stand out favorites, but this album surprised me. Has a fun rock feel. I like the longer guitar solos. Would listen to again. Nice energizing the background music for work!

Other than the title track which gave me true flashback nostalgia to my guitar hero days, the rest of the album is kinda whack. Fun listen, but wouldn’t listen to again by choice.

Listened to this album on a walk outside on a beautiful day. Perfect “Glad to be alive music”! Enjoyed more than I thought I would considering it’s kinda folksy. This would also be great driving through Texas with the windows down music. He tells a great story. Would give 4.5 if I could.

Really appreciate the entire album as an artistic statement all together. I like how everything flows into one another. Album combines strong themes with cool beats and a fun energy that’s enjoyable to listen to. Very strong 90s hip hop influence which makes sense since it came out in 2002. Overall really enjoyed.

This is how I picture the idea for this album came about. Not my vibe at all, could not take it seriously, but they get partial credit for playing the whole thing live and making it a continuous piece.

I’m torn because I like the composition and the sound of the album as a whole, but I hate their lyrics. I think the songs are stupid and a bit too repetitive. Feels like the B-52s but more chaotic. Overall not bad, but won’t listen to this again. Based off the lyrics I’m leaving towards a 2, but it would probably be 2.5 if I could.
Favorite song: When our love passed out…

Once again I am impressed with Pink Floyd for this composition. The album as a whole is beautiful and expressive. The guitar is amazing as usual. Each song flows and even without a ton of lyrics, a story is told. I really enjoyed the album, but I was slightly less captivated by this than I was The Wall. Would give a 4.5 if I could!

I’m torn with this album because there are two songs I know (Time After Time and GJWHF) but I really don’t listen to either of them or include them in my playlists. The rest of the album was hit 80s garbage, just not for me. So overall as an album some songs I like enough and the rest I could tolerate. Won’t listen to again though.

I don’t think this band is that musically talented. I appreciate the story telling and their spoke word piece was great, but everything else was just okay. Fell short in comparison to The Wall. Also many song are hand to understand lyrics wise which makes it a hard listen if you aren’t reading the lyrics. Appreciate the themes.

This album is the musical equivalent to me looking at some random object in a modern art museum and trying to figure out how this is art. I would like the album much more if I could take her vocals out because the actual sound itself is very chill-hop/rhythmic relaxing vibes. She just a bit too out there for me. I had to skip multiple songs because I just couldn’t do it. This album gave me a headache.
I bet this album is amazing if you’re high

This album was odd and bad. The guys voice is not good. The first song is miserable and then it gets better but everything just blends together. I recognized one song from Sex Education.

I loved this album! Such a fun listen, and my heart will always be with punk rock and Green Day is such a classic. Already knew a few songs on the album and Basket Case is one of my favorite punk rock songs! The entire album could be the soundtrack of an amazing 90s movie which I love. Sure, many songs do sound very similar, but I like the sound so no problem with me!

The album starts out so strong with hits of Willow and one of my absolute favorites of all time, champagne problems. Plus we get No body, No crime on this album which is AMAZING as well!
So happy! Such a good day!
