Live / Dead
Grateful DeadI’m not really a jam band person but the Grateful Dead are very good and the solos are great
I’m not really a jam band person but the Grateful Dead are very good and the solos are great
More than a few great songs on here. Fantastic production, beautiful harmonies, masterful song writing. Such a good album
A lot of classic songs in here. Great writing and fantastic playing. I think the only thing that keeps me from giving it a 5 is that it sounds really dated
Decent punk rock. I liked the lyrics and some of the grooves but personally I like punk to go a little harder and with more energy. Just a personally taste thing
Pretty enjoyable but found some of the songs to feel repetitive. From other albums in the genre I know that songs tend to repeat the same grooves, however then my expectation is that the groove better be really good if I'm going to hear it over and over for awhile
I haven’t listened to a lot of this kind of drum and bass music, but I will say it was great music to work in the office to. Not to distracting but also kept my foot taping through most of it.
Love that this album is simultaneously so dark sounding but also so energetic. Some of the instrumental tracks drag on a little but overall the album is mostly bangers.
I really liked the first track, Buffalo Stance; it’s a really cool blend of 80s hip hop and pop that I hadn’t heard before. However the rest of the album really didn’t stand out to me musically, however I did enjoy the political themes in the lyrics.
There were more guitar solos on the album than I remembered which was fun. overall a decent listen
Baker has a nice voice but none of these songs really stood out to me
Fun jangly pop/punk sound and great guitar. Album is way too long though. Like way too long
Classic album. A lot of kinds come from this album that I didn’t even realize
Intellectually I feel like this album is decent but I just didn’t enjoy it that much. Maybe I felt like it was trying too hard.
Fire album. Good mix of fast and slow songs and the performance is great. Almost as close to original rock as you can get
Great songwriting and performance. There's a certain something to Wilco I can't put my finger on but I like them more than other people in this genre
One of my all time favorite albums. The story telling and emotion on this album is some of the best I've seen. The beats go hard but don't get in the way of the lyrics at all.
The title track is obviously a banger. The rest of the album is very pleasant to listen to, but I feel like most of the melodies are repetitive and many songs sound the same. But overall a nice listen.
I didn't realize how many iconic Jazz songs were all on this same album. It's not Miles Davis or John Coltrane but this is a great jazz album. Very enjoyable stuff
This was terrible lol, I couldn't even finish it. Very weird lyrics and below average music
Beautiful songs, intense emotion, sweet guitar solos. Simply one of the best
Some fun guitar stuff but overall a generic sounding 80s album
Fun album. Not necessarily my genre but I recognize some decent song writing in here.
Nice song writing and stories. No guitar shredding obviously but great melodies and pleasant chord progressions throughout. Always an easy listen
Even though I feel like this music is kind of bad, it's really fun. The guitar solos really go for it and the energy is good. Probably wouldn't play it with other people unless I was trying to meme
This was nice background music, but I'm not sure I can rate background music higher than 2 stars. If it was more upbeat electronic music I could imagine dancing to it at a party. Not sure it's interesting enough for me to devote my full attention to it and listen without doing anything else
I'd give this album a 2.5 if I could. Nothing really bad about it but also nothing really caught my attention. Nice songs but nothing really amazing on here
Great songwriting. The juxtaposition of dreamy, romantic lyrics as well as their smooth and crooning performance on top of heavier rock guitar and drums creates the unique Smiths sound. Also lmao at this being the album for this day, definitely not a coincidence.
Fun rock album. Can hear influences from the Beatles and the Stones with a modern twist
Pretty dope piano music. Dude was going off. Probably way better live and maybe a little high. I listened to it in the gym so maybe not the perfect listening environment.
This was a fun listen, I hadn't heard much Cee-Lo before. I felt like it was unique from other stuff in the genre but not necessarily my jam
It's a nice album but I've maybe never really been a big Van Morrison fan outside of the most popular songs
Kind of bad generic 80s pop. 1.5 stars
Honestly not a bad electronic album. I'm usually pretty harsh with these because there a high bar to cross for me to enjoy listening to one of these outside of the context of being inebriated and in a large crowd of people dancing. But I enjoyed this one at work and could see myself listening to it in other contexts
I really liked this album. I already like the sound of Irish folk music, and with the addition of the punk spirit in the lyrics and performance a really unique sound is created. I'd like to listen again or read the lyrics at least because I feel like I'd get even more out of this album
There’s really nice song writing in here and some interesting song structures. I like the instrumental breaks followed by the return of the chorus or hook with lots of energy. Rod Stewart is a lot more than the cheesy crooner I thought he was
Honestly kind of slow for me at the beginning but then the energy really picked up. I think I’ve gotten accustomed to music that has 60+ layered tracks and my ear needed to get used to just the guitar drums bass and vocals. Super simple stuff but it goes hard
Pretty iconic stuff. Sick guitar and obviously nasty vocals
This album goes pretty hard and there's lots of hits on here. I like the energy and the use of both good synths and guitar on this album. There's some decent political overtones here but for the most part I don't connect that much with the lyrics and the music can be a bit dramatic at times. But overall I think it's a solid album and it's been very influential on a lot of modern bands
Very fun covers but not much more than back ground music for me
I've got nothing against sad girl music and I like this album. But I don't really have that many occasions to listen to sad girl music. I'm not a sad girl. I'm not even a sad boy. I did listen to this album at the gym, so it probably didn't really get a fair shake, but I don't think I'd listen to this very carefully in other contexts as more than nice background music. Not a bad album though.
Pretty Iconic stuff. Great grooves and social commentary
Fun songs and good energy but nothing too special in my mind
I ended up warming up to this more than I thought. At first it sounded like a more annoying version of oasis but then it opened up into some pretty fun rock
This was fine pop music, nothing special to me.
Just pure blues. It comes out so effortlessly. You can especially tell how people respond to stuff thats so natural on a live recording
Over an hour of songs smooth as butter. Can't really say a bad thing about the album
I like the energy of the music but the singing is a little yelly for me. Maybe just my current mood but the singing is hurting my head
This wasn't bad but it's not much more than generic 60s music to me
Smooth and Funky
Even though I classify this as angry white guy music it really does kind of slap. Growing up listening to it in my dads car likely plays a role.
Wasn't listening to the lyrics much and then the song full of slurs really caught me off guard. Nothing really caught my attention on this album, except, again, for the song full of slurs
Decent for 70s music but nothing stood out to me
I’m not really sure what to call this genre but it’s not really my thing
Loved this album. Neo soul, hip hop, funk, experimental. Great lyrics.
Interesting how you can hear the transition from 80s to 90s music on this album. Good lyrics and energy. I’d prefer if this was all 90s and no 80s influence
Great modern indie/pop rock. Wish there was more modern music coming out like this
Pretty enjoyable punk rock. Interesting to hear different influences in it. Sounds like there's inspiration from 60s-70s rock and even 80s metal kind of sounds. A fun listen and interesting lyrics as well
I liked this album. Varied instrumentation and energy. Did quite catch my attention enough for 4 stars though
We are family is obviously a 5 star song, and while the rest of the album is fun and upbeat, it doesn’t all feel like 5 stars to me. 3.5 stars overall
This sounds really different than a lot of what I’ve heard from the 80s. I found it a lot more interesting than the other 80s stuff on this list, the Irish influences are especially cool.
I don’t really have anything to compare this to but just going off of my own tastes I didn’t really enjoy this album
I like the composition and rock elements but not a fan of the low fi parts
I actually liked the “other” songs on this album as much as the hits. Great bluesy piano and organs and great energy. Harmonies all throughout this album are fantastic
Damn, these lyrics are so brutally honest. Good music and vibes
This music wasn’t bad but I couldn’t help feel like it just sounded like a worse version of the Beatles.
Some interesting grooves but I mostly didn’t enjoy this. I think I’d need more context to know what this album is about to fully appreciate it
I liked this album. Nice composition and instrumentation. But gotta say the dude seems a little unhinged haha
This was pretty trippy. I liked the jazz and atmospheric numbers and then skits were pretty weird but also pretty well done. I was really creeped out by the first one.
The song writing on this album is just so good. Add the blues guitar shredding and you’ve got a fantastic album. Easy 5
Very fun album. I liked it a lot but wasn’t necessarily wowed. I’d give it between 3 and 4 stars
Ellington is obviously one of the greats. Listening to these old concert recordings is always fun to hear how people spoke back then. Live sound is really different from the recordings back then as well
This was a pretty fun listen. I liked the covers and enjoyed the traditional stuff too. I don’t have much to compare it to but I had a good time listening to it
I’m already kind of a sucker for ska and blending it with sweet 80s prog type guitar riffs only gets me even more. I don’t know if I’ve ever listened to ska where I actually liked the guitar riffs and bass grooves more than the horn sections. Either way, this is sick fusion with good social commentary as well. Definitely one of my favorite finds from doing this album generator
No bad as background music, but honestly I get annoyed when albums are 2 hours long. A concert recording. Sure. But stuff from the studio? Trim the fat and just give me the bangers.
Definitely enjoyed this while working but I’m not the kind of jazz appreciator where I need to close my eyes and do nothing but focus on this album each time I listen to it. It’s good for sure but I tend to like slightly more accessible jazz
I WILL dance to off the wall if someone plays it. Mj definitely has a lot of bangers but some of the songs are just okay/decent 80s pop. 5 stars if I was watching the dancing at the same time
Easy five, what more can I say. Fantastic songs one after another
Cool beats and lyrics but I couldn’t really get into the album. I think it’s that I’m not really a fan of so much speaking in music?
Fun concept and the execution was good. Felt like I should have been watching some sort of religious lord of the rings movie to enjoy the album more
This is one of my all time favorite albums. I might be biased because I listened this so much as a kid. It was literally my introduction not only to rock and roll but the first album I liked of my own accord rather than something my parents played for me in the car. Such great guitar riffs, fat drumming and of course Robert Plant’s voice is incredible
I know there’s some famous songs on here but it’s not really my thing
Interesting composition and lyrics, caught my attention for being interesting but not something I’d near still listen to again
This is great pop. Good energy and variety
I like Bowie a lot but this album didn’t really do anything special for me personally
I’m not really a jam band person but the Grateful Dead are very good and the solos are great
This is one of those albums you didn’t know you knew so many of the songs to because they’re in so many movies and shows. It’s fun catchy rock but not too special in my opinion
One if those albums that made me realize I like other things than just classic rock. Radiohead was weird (good) music to me growing up but now it’s just good
Definitely darker that a lot of punk I've heard. It still has the simplicity of punk in terms of instruments but the sound is darker and more complicated than I'm used to. I mostly liked it
Fun late 80s pop sound. I honestly like the less popular songs that tackle social issues much more than the fluffier hits
Interesting to hear some experimental Brazilian music and there’s some decent beats on here but I didn’t really enjoy it all that much. Might be better as a sound track over the right scenes in a movie
I always thought kings of Leon just did kind of boring stadium rock but the rest of the album wasn’t bad. Definitely more energy than the hit singles that were played to death on the radio
I appreciated the variety on this album. I thought the bass lines could have been a little stronger, especially for an electronic leaning album. Felt like video game music at times but I enjoyed it overall
Not too bad as background music, and I can see how this had some influence down the line, but some of it sounded like stuff that I could have made in garage band. Some decent songs but a few were rather weak.
The lyrics were very silly on this album. The music itself was fine but not something I’d come back to again. The lyrics unfortunately take away from this album for me
Guy has a great voice. Ton of energy on this album with fun beats. Seems like it’s great for dancing or just a good headphone listen
For a movie soundtrack this goes exceptionally hard. Super funky, good lyrics. Really liked it
Wasn’t really a fan. There were some okay beats but the lyrics were kind of weird. Maybe I just didn’t get it
Some decent beats on here but I couldn’t really get into the lyrics. High 2
Great energy and song writing. They used more complicated chord progressions than your standard rock band but nothing too distracting. My impression of Doves is a more interesting Oasis
Tough to give this a good rating given the sexism and violence in the lyrics. Ice cube is a decent story teller and there are obviously important messages here about racism and black life in Los Angeles. I know this is album is influential, but it doesn’t hold a candle to some of the more talented rappers of today that have just as much if not more social commentary in their lyrics.
Good guitar throughout and definitely interesting song writing and form. There’s a lot of attitude throughout the album. Not totally for me just listening through but I’m sure Alice Cooper concerts were epic and where he really shined.
Very pretty songs. The album listens like musical theater, which, is fine, but not something I really seek out to listen to. This was a nice listen but I doubt I’d come back to it.
I might be biased by emotion since I do have such good memories of singing some of these with the Axies and night owls, but I love that this album has such beautiful harmonies but still maintains some of the intensity of a rock band.
Solid rap album. Definitely a fun throw back. Great rapping and cool samples- some from the Meters I think? Obviously nice to hear a woman rapping and even just to hear a rap album free of all the violence and stuff we’re so accustomed to. A bit repetitive in theme sometimes but fun beats and great flow
While there are definitely more certified bangers on this album, I still can’t rate highly an album filled with violence/ misogyny etc. I probably would dance to these songs in a party context, but again, they don’t come close to albums made by modern folks like Kendrick
Not really my genre, but this album was listenable. Lyrics didn’t really draw me in as much as other punk albums, but musically I enjoyed it more. Probably wouldn’t listen again though
This band was fine but I was a little bored listening to it. I think it was pretty dynamically static. Perfectly fine music but nothing really caught my attention
Not really sure what’s going on here. Sounds kind of like darker version of doo-wop? I liked the later half of the album when the social commentary shone through. Not my favorite but not terrible either.
Liked the first few songs but the album began to get repetitive. I think that tends to happen with this genre. Dig the all women line up though.
I’m usually not a country fan but this was pretty good.
Enjoyed the last song but not to be too brutal most of this was boring sounding 60s music to me
Maybe I’m Amazing is a five star song. The rest of the album is very enjoyable, though not necessarily remarkable. Can’t really say a bad thing about it though.
Grew up listening to Take A Walk On the Wild Side. Always loved Lou Reed’s envelope pushing lyrics. I hadn’t heard most, if not any of the other songs, but it was fun musically and tonally. Great listen.
Didn’t like the way the album started off at all but the later tracks really caught my attention. A lot of variety here and good energy
Never heard of them but honestly a solid listen.
Enjoyed the vocals and song writing a lot. I generally like more guitar solos on blues records but this was still very enjoyable
The music on this was just okay. But there was more raw emotion on here than we usually hear on a record. Almost confessional. A touch cringe but still powerful
Don’t really have that much to say. It’s pleasant music with good lyrics but doesn’t really get me going
Overall decent songs lyrically, minus the fact that today he probably wouldn’t use the n word. Instrumentally they sound quite similar to me. Wasn’t expecting the Toy Story song writer to be using this kind of language, though I know it was mostly for social critique. Probably wouldn’t listen again
Rod is great on this album and there’s lots of great rock songs on here. Very enjoyable listen
Found this album pretty boring both musically and lyrically. Besides that, sounds like the person mastering the record chose the flattest most boring EQ possible
Hear a ton of talking heads on here. Enjoyed it but not sure I’d come back to many of the so gs
More than a few great songs on here. Fantastic production, beautiful harmonies, masterful song writing. Such a good album
There’s more hits than I realized on this album. Punk can be hit or miss for me but I like the offspring a lot. Relatable, candid lyrics that paint vivid pictures of the struggles of modern day life. I appreciate the stake down of road rage and driver violence on Bad Habit (maybe just in my own head)
Spotify for some reason couldn’t play all of the songs on this album and I really wasn’t mad about it being over faster.
This was actually okay for having such long songs. They had kind of a Pink Floyd thing going on. Not super compelling but not bad either
Dang I can’t believe I’d never heard of this guy. Super funky, kind of jazzy, fun songs. Definitely enjoyed the listen
Very good pop. Strong vocals, nice harmonies, simple chord progressions, upbeat mood. hard to go wrong
Sultans of swing is obviously a jam. The rest of the album vibes really nicely, great drum and bass groves with nice guitar on top. Vocals are just fine in my opinion, with great vocals this would be a five star album for me
Cool to hear a German band on here but none of Kraftwerks stuff really draws me in. There’s other German bands I prefer more I’d rather see in here
This was good both musically and lyrically and I liked the political charge that permeated the whole album. Unfortunately nothing really drew me in for a second lesson but I still thought it was good
Felt like this dude was a little disturbed but I mostly enjoyed the music. I see the similarities with Bowie but it’s worse than Bowie in most categories.
Easy 5. Great lyrics, fantastic bass and drum grooves throughout. Important social messages on top of fantastic music. One of the best.
Nice feel good soft rock. The song writing is good but none of it would really bring me back. Maybe I’ll take a lot of heat for this review
Had vaguely heard of them but never listened before. Solid rock album I’d probably listen to again
Wouldn’t be mad if more pop sounded like this
This is one of my favorite albums from childhood my teen years. I always liked Becks weird lyrics and unique sounding style of rock
This was solid. I don’t know John Martyn but the vocals were excellent
Good punk rock. I liked the lyrics and music more than I do most older punk. Good energy and attitude but still enjoyable to listen to
Don’t Know Why, Come Away with Me, and Turn Me On are all classics. Very accessible pop jazz. Really relaxing too. Liked this album since I was a kid
Two of the songs were unavailable on Spotify and I didn’t really like the two that were available
Obviously some classics on here: Blue, River, and A Case of You always brings me back to Vassar. Great song writing. And of course I have to support as a Cali boy.
I found this boring and repetitive.
I think this is a really solid modern indie rock album. I can listen to it a lot and not get bored. I don’t know if there’s anything groundbreaking to make it a five star album, but I do really like it.
I get what they’re doing here, obviously very sharp social critique. It almost feels more like theater than music at one point so I’m not really sure how to rate it
Sounded like David Byrne was on here and then I wasn’t surprised to see Eno collaborated with talking heads and a ton of others. The album took a few turns and I enjoyed the breadth of styles covered.
This is good and has cool variety, but I’ve just never been much of a Peter Gabriel guy.
Decent metal but I’m not sure what sets this apart besides them doing a song or two in Portuguese
Such a classic rock album. A childhood favorite as well. Last child is a classic. As is back in the saddle. High 4
I know little to no rap outside of America but I thought this was pretty good. Some creative and dark beats on here
Very funk stuff. Reminds me of the meters combined with hip hop
This is pretty masterful guitar playing. Some of the best blues rock. Mostly instrumental stuff, and without a great vocalist it’s not all the way a five star for me
Fine classic rock but nothing special in my opinion
Fine synthy pop. The dance stuff at the beginning was better than the soft acoustic stuff later in the album
Weird and fucked up lyrics and the music itself was below average
This is a pretty soft who album in my opinion. There’s a few good songs but the rest are not worth mentioning
Weird, innovative, goes hard.
This is decent jazz, but it’s a lot less accessible than other jazz, even other miles davis albums
Don’t have a point of comparison for this but I liked it a lot. Very relaxing on some songs and very cool movie journey soundtracky on others
This is nice pleasant stuff but I’m honestly not sure there’s anything in it that would bring me back
This is great pop. Adele is a killer singer
Loved listening to Van Halen as a kid with my dad. The shredding is ridiculous on some of these songs but the songs themselves aren’t super special. Was torn between a 3 and 4
This started off like a 2 star generic 80s album but partway through it opened up with some good lyrics and fresh grooves.
This surprised me and wasn’t the stereotypical 80s album I thought it would be
One of my favorite rock albums. Extra refreshing after all the 80s this week
Surprisingly varied album. I still don’t like the whiny screams vocals, but I really liked some of the instrumentals. Aura borealis stood out.
Was very surprised to see this band again
Funky bass lines had me from song one. Strong lyrics and good grooves. Liked this one a lot.
I can hear lots of different 60s bands in here. Not bad but I probably wouldn’t come back to it
Interesting but it sounded like they were trying too hard to be weird
Thought this was a decent rock album, even if a little 80s crept into it
This was okay. Didn’t have the same grooves as some of the other Brazilian albums. This is the person who was on girl from ipanema? This album definitely doesn’t have the same punch and vocal strength I’d have expected.
Yes there’s some famous songs and grooves on here but anything with transphobia/ violence etc. is not going to get higher than 2 stars from me
Elton John is great but somehow this isn’t a 5 star for me. Maybe I’ll get roasted. It’s great but not a top album for me
Didn’t really do too much for me. I’m not really a low fi rock guy
A lot of classic songs in here. Great writing and fantastic playing. I think the only thing that keeps me from giving it a 5 is that it sounds really dated
First couple songs were great. But the rest was more or less generic 80s. Some social commentary on money issues but otherwise didn’t seem too special to me
The band that got me interested in music! Even though some of the filler songs are average, whole lotta love, heartbreaker, or ramble on on their own would make this a five star album for me.
Great vocals and story telling. Enjoyed this one a lot
Chilling lyrics on some of the songs. Some songs are just okay but for the more part there’s incredible story telling
Solid alt rock album. Happy to listen to it anytime. Definitely influencing some of my own music writing
Great lyrics and song writing. Never really been the biggest fan of Young’s voice but you gotta hand it to him he wrote great songs
Would have been a 4 star rating except for the weird rapey car backseat song
Some of the non hits are just semi decent 80s music but the hits are great. Wish everything was a video album with Michael dancing as well
Nice soft music but nothing special for me
This was surprising and very cool. I don’t always get fusion but this worked really well
I haven’t really listened to Iron Maiden much before but I know how influential this was and I did enjoy it a lot. It’s good guitar and good rock
Average 80s music. Not sure why this is on here.
Great pop. Is listen to a lot more pop if it sounded like this
This was okay. Felt a little derivative of oasis
Wasn’t anything special about this to me. Sounded like typical 60s stuff
Hadn’t heard them before but this was cool. Enjoyed the strings and stand up bass sound on some of the songs. Unique sound
Good lyrics and song writing. High 3. I’m not upset I listened to it but I probably wouldn’t come back to it. It’s definitely good pop but I don’t know if it’s great
Jeff beck is a great guitar player but it’s hard for me to get into his stuff for some reason. I’m also going to get roasted for this but I though rod stewarts performance on this record wasn’t as strong as his other stuff. Still enjoyed it, especially the blues songs
Haven’t really listened to the Byrds before. Enjoyed it a lot. Kind of Beatlesesque but with their own style
Kid rock feels kind of like limp bizkit for classic rock leaning people. There’s some interesting stories lifted up here but overall there’s too much violence and misogyny
Damn, this dude got cheated on and was really sad about it. Some good grooves but it was mostly story telling.
Kind of a less popy cold play. some nice soft stuff on here and I liked it for the most part
I don’t know why there’s so much 80s sounding music on here instead of good modern stuff
Solid and fun rock album. Felt a little REM vibe in there in some songs
He’s one of the best. Just absolutely killer blues. Not as much guitar in this live album as I’d have liked but it was awesome to hear people in the audience screaming for him. Hard to imagine people reacting like that to the blues today
Good beats and lyrics. I like the use of the samples in a somewhat purposely off putting way. Snippets of major and bright sounding samples over the main minor and melancholy beat
Maybe the most boring album so far. Might work as a movie sound track. As an album boring af
These guys are so silly. Loved this album as a kid. Can still laugh and enjoy it now as an adult but I’m now slightly more doubtful of its musical quality. High 3
Again I’m not really a lowfi drone guy, but the bass on this was pretty good and made up for some of the other places it was lacking for me.
Good punk, I liked it
This is the peak. Mastery of form. It doesn’t get much better than this. One of my favorites that I’ve listened to at least 100 times. So good.
I really liked the horns on this. High 3. Vocals were just alright, a little too 80s for me
Bob Marley is great. Not my favorite album but still great. Had never heard this version of no woman no cry before, I don’t think I liked it as much as the one I’m used to hearing on the radio
So funky. So good. That rhythm guitar is famous and those baselines make it impossible not to dance.
No idea what this bullshit was. Couldn’t finish it
Pleasant and enjoyable but nothing to write home about for me
REM is okay. End of the world song I’ve always found a bit annoying. Rest of the album is decent
Atlantic City obviously a 5 star banger. The rest of the album is beautifully written, charged with emotion and story telling that evoke Johnny Cash’s style and Bruce does it just as good or better
Totally surprising. I liked this a lot. Enjoyed the rock, blues, jazz, funk and other styles on here. The one noise song was annoying but whatever. Rest was great.
This had a dark interesting sound, and lucky hadn’t gone full 80s though it got dangerously close
I’m sure this is 4-5 star stuff in the right context, namely intoxicated at a rave/in a club. At the gym, it’s okay. There’s nice bass work in here but this isn’t as good of a casual listen as their newer pop stuff
Enjoyed Michael Franti’s stuff with spearhead and I liked this too. This is darker than spearhead and a little more direct but I still enjoyed the grooves and the lyrics.
Not sure how every single vocalist from the 80s sound exactly the same
So many hits on here, and even the non hits on this album have grown on me over time. Hendrix is one of my all time favorite guitarists and his lyrics are great too. Little wing is one of my favorite songs.
Absolutely filthy baselines from flea on this album. The guitar and drums are solid and funky as usual but the bass really stands out. Anthony alternates between being the perfect vibe for the music and kind of annoying. Especially on this album some of the lyrics are unnecessarily sexual. Under the bridge is obviously great and the rest of the album works for me when I’m in the right mood
