There’s a few songs on this album that I recognize from growing up in the 90s (Smack My Bitch Up) that brought some nostalgia. Admittedly, that’ll make me a bit bias.
Overall a fun listen. They definitely made some cool sounds.
Next time I wanna travel back to the 90s and hack computers in a shitty flat in Berlin I’m gonna bring a copy of this album and a bag of speed.
I am guilty of not expanding my listening habits of Faith No More past ‘Epic’, a song that a fuckin’ love. That chorus is catchy and has a cool contrast to the verse.
The rest of album definitely matched the vibe but overall it felt a bit lengthy. Sick ‘War Pigs’ Cover.
Always loved The Cure. First time listening to this album front to back. There’s a few tracks that I’m familiar with and love (Pictures Of You, Lovesong) I let it play while cleaned up and played some Valheim and it was rather enjoyable.
Great energy from a classic hip hop group. I think it should be intergraded in political science classes’ curriculums.
I really enjoyed this album. I wasn’t familiar with The Jesus And The Mary Chain. Dig that velvet underground vibe. Jim Reid has a cool playlist of his current favorites on Spotify.
First time listening to this album. One of a kind voice. Favorite track is ‘When Am I Going To Make A Living’.
One of my favorite albums growing up. As well as one of my first CDs. Love what Rick Ruban did with this. Opened the door to me becoming a huge JC fan.
Short album I wouldn’t mind making a few babies to. Great vocals. The 80s romantic soul sound is very easy listening. Now I know why Kanye and Jamie Fox consider her a Slow Jam.
I love the era of British punk rock in the 70s/80s and this is a band that I’ve never heard of. ‘Sound Affects’ is my favorite album Ive discovered from this list so far. I love everything about it.
Masterclass in couplet storytelling. Whether you like country or not, songs like ‘big iron’ are hard not to get sucked into. The soft disposition of the acoustics and bass is complimented justly with Marty’s lovely vibrato. An album for the ages.
Fun to discover where all the 70s funk TV intro parodies come from. Which is what my first response was, due to my generational roots. The rest of the album is fantastically mixed and curated.
This album has a bias opinion from me. I first listened as a preteen and loved it. Which is probably the right age to make that statement. Re-listening as an adult I have to say I feel the same. Specifically for ‘bawitdaba’. You don’t go to kid rock for introspective lyrics and compelling compositions, you go to kid rock for crude, unhinged ass kicking ignorance so you can feel that bliss baby. ‘Cowboy’ is an awesome song I don’t care who you are.
