Take a Bow: the tinkling lasted about 3 minutes too long. The blame at the end was something. Longest outro ever. Supermassive Black Hole: more like supermassive suck hole, amirite? Map of the problematique: equally as loud as the previous three songs. No decrescendo/crescendo, just loud. Set the metronome to 140 bpm and go. Soldiers poem: first down tempo song, almost lullaby like. Somehow still loud though.... Invincible: quieter intro. I have bass boosted on my earbuds as most songs are quiet on bass lines, but these guys pump up the bass. Cool little bass riff halfway through. Hoodoo: started surfer rock/Mexicali, ended goth rock. Weird. Glorious: I don't think I like this album. It's not necessarily "bad," but it's an album that has a lot of notes, but none of them memorable. Almost like a more frantic Coldplay. PS: I did not realize that Glorious was the last track of the album when I made the above note. I am glad it is over.

I personally believe this album was a product of it's time, but the sonic landscape was not enduring. Not perso ally for me, but I can at least see some merit on how it ended up on this list.
Purple Haze is a classic for a good reason. Hey Joe is a classic for a good reason. Love or Confusion is a classic for a good reason. May This be Love is a classic for a good reason. I Don't Live Today is a classic for a good reason. Fire is a classic for a good reason. Third Stone from the Sun is meh. Foxey Lady is a classic for a good reason. And so on and so forth...... I love this album.
Hate to say I told you so - continuation on the Strokes Is This It, and instantly takes me back to the mid aughts. Love it. Up tempo energy. Main Offender - I'm loving this album for the same reason I blasted Muse, but it's loud and I'm loving it. I think it's because there is a shift in energy/emotion. Probably also nostalgia. Untutored youth/outsmarted - I will admit that the listen can get fatigued listening to nothing but fast song after fast song without a break. Hoping the next song will be a change of pace and show some range. "Slowest" song was track three I think, Supply & Demand. Mad Man - this album sponsored by Molly. Album was a quick, messy, thrill. I loved it, but most likely for nostalgia purposes. 4/5
I was expecting something way different than I ended up hearing, and for the better. Didn't have time to write up a track by track review, but this has made it into my rotation.
Money Changes Everything - uh oh, this has everything I dislike about 80s music. Which is louder: synth, vocals, or guitars? Yes. Plus chord progressions. Harmonica? Pick a genre Cyndi. Girls just want to have fun - I've heard this song umpteen times and I just don't like it. When you were mine - [Stranger Things tinkling intensifies] Time After Time - classic sappy rom-com material. Might be the only song that I don't actively dislike. Was this in the Breakfast Club? She Bop - She don't. All through the Night - [STRANGER THINGS TINKLING IS INTENSE] (the first BLAM made me jump and think there was some sort of emergency for about 2 seconds) Witness - of course the only song I like is synth reggae reverb. Spliff time bois, let's go. I'll Kiss You - Brown note activated mid song, brb. He's so Unusual - hello my baby, hello my honey, hello my ragtime gal.... (For any Community fans: this baby girl talk really has diminishing returns) Yeah Yeah - I also want sushi Cyndi.
Leave Home - the brothers gonna work, get out x 85. Almost as good as around the world x 137. In Dust we Trust - I love loop. Song to the Siren - was not expecting a live so g to be thrown on here. Three Little Birdies Down Beats - I hate loop. Fuck Up Beats - Im done with loop. Chemical Beats - I really wish there was more progression on this album rather than just additional layering as the song drones on. I would like to see a song transform from one thing I to another if nothing else than to break up the same intro beat going on and on and on and on. Chico's Groove - first change of pace song and I like how there was some progression here. May be hope for the rest of the album. The last 4 - decent. Varied from the first half of the album and a generally solid album overall. 3/5
Not as good as blonde, but decent enough. Album in three acts, and only the middle act got my full attention.
Is Sinead the original woke af white girl?
No notes
Not my jam.
