Amazing album. Tight intricate rhythms, with a political punch.

Smash

The Offspring

3/5

There's nothing wrong with this album. Fun, fast, punk pop. I just really dislike his voice, and still remember Pretty Fly For A White Guy which was awful.

Birth Of The Cool

Miles Davis

3/5

Not my thing at all, but nice to listen to.

american dream

LCD Soundsystem
