Baffling why the original list included Homework instead of this.

I thought this was awful but it really does fit well with the book list.

Good post-punk. Also enjoyed their first LP, 'Jeopardy'.

I did not enjoy this. Makes me wonder if my 4 star rating of Live/Dead will stick after another listen.

Nice bit of prog that probably just missed being in the original book.

A couple of good singles but overlong. Adding 1 nostalgia star (saw her on this album tour and it was...fine) but subtracting 1 star b/c she's already on the original list.

I liked their first more, but not much more.

Very much enjoyed this. One song in I thought it might end up on my 'music for coding' playlist and it has.

Way too much falsetto for me, sorry.

Likely won't revisit but that was very nice.

Dang, that was pretty interesting! Sleepytime Gorilla Museum vibes.

Based on last.fm, letsfathom, and aoty, this is very adjacent to my own user submission--Titus Andronicus' The Monitor--but I didn't really care for it. I don't like dude's voice and single style and I'm annoyed by the piano. I can see people saying the same about my album, so I'm curious how people who really love this feel about The Monitor.

Should be a requirement that user submitted albums be from artists not on the original book list. We heard Martyn twice already---sorry for ranting here instead on the 5th Bjork appearance but I thought 'how often is that gonna happen?' So far it's 5 out of 35 albums. Bah!

"Sound system gonna bring me back up, yeah, one thing that I can depend on" One of my all time favorites, glad to see it here.

very pleasant, will listen again.

Bob has a particular knack for frequencies my brain can't tolerate. What is that awful percussive noise in 'I Hate Alternative Rock'?

I love it when the Mali hits at the right time.

I wanna hold her, wanna hold her tight Get necro kicks right through the night ... Album sounds a lot like Eleventh Dream Day (nice!). Some Neil Young vibes on Crooked. Added to collection.

Liked this a lot more than I expected.

Good post-punk. Also enjoyed their first LP, 'Jeopardy'.

Probably my 5th favorite of their albums but I still really like it. The Agent Intellect and No Passion All Technique are my favs.

Added a fifth Floyd, haha, charade, you are

Obvious replacement for any (or all?) of the Costello albums on the original list.

Attempted this one multiple times now and it's just not as good as his first 2. Innerspeaker and Lonerism are both solid 5's but Currents feels hollow and missing something (not enough guitar I think).

Here's the 2 I gave this after I listened 2 years ago. Not inspired to listen to 80 more minutes of a band I consistently don't really care for.

Nice bit of prog that probably just missed being in the original book.

Yes you're very smart. Shut up.

Thanks for submitting this--finally confirmed for me that no, I don't care for Death Cab.

Swearin' and Los Campesinos vibes. If you enjoyed the lead vocal switch ups, check out Fall Into the Sun by Swearin'.

bailed halfway

boring ass metal

I'm on smoko, so leave me alone

Reminds me of The Clean. I've been wanting some Spanish tunes to learn and sing along with.

Fountains of Theater Kids

Stripped down versions of your favorite tracks, with extra repetitive robot vocals, backed with a low rumble of crowd noise. I love Discovery (5) and Homework is alright (3) and this album feels like the worst way to experience Daft Punk. The music being panned just left of center and the crowd noise just right of center makes for an awful headphones listen.

Vocals at a level where its almost like someone singing along to a stereo that's in the next room. Or maybe his voice just bugs me /shrug

Summer festival vibes. Let's get some tacos or dumplings.

me aburrí

Has anyone created a mashup band called Bon JovIver? Maybe that could be fun.

Listened to this a decade or so ago. Good stuff but also I find it draining and don't really care for some of the voiceovers. Today I played the CD/streaming version and later the LP via youtube. CD is definitely preferred if only because it lacks the untitled 'I don't know what to do' banjo track on side 1. Locked groove at the end of LP side 2 is pretty cool tho. See you again in the 2030's, F♯ A♯ ∞!
