pretty good. kinda weird i like their other stuff i found b4 this project more like karma police and creep and burn the witch and the one from romeo + juliet but 🤷🏾♀️ for the time period i'm sure ppl were freaking OUT abt the chopped n screwed treatment of chunes
very folksy but not enough heart fa me. i liked 3 or 4 pieces from the whole project. 1 i feel i knew b4 all this
this sounds like the type of filler noise that i imagine is always on in the back of like, a seattle coffee shop. this being made in 1997 means an entire generation of ppl took this sound and ran with it. which is unfortunate. bc it's v much not my vibe
classic. uk vibes. idk if we'll ever get chance to see them outdo themselves
it's really fuck eric clapton for life. that's it, that's all. i have ntn eloquent to say on his past statements on dark skinned immigrants whilst in the same vein making a name for himself in a genre pioneered by the same ppl he had vitriol for. i'm sure someone b4 me has already said more in an undoubtedly more sensible way and i rlly cba
considering this album art intrigued me i have to say the first 3 songs dragged a bit. can't imagine why anyone would want those as album openers but w/e. i didn't know they were responsible for 'alright' so tht was a nice moment of realisation. then immediately afterwards everything picked up at breakneck speed. i love how eclectic the entire body of work turned out to be and this is doubly funny to know ppl gripe abt this album when it it's considered a part of the sonic british canon or w/e. like,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,it's not tht srs babes
had to ask myself 'am i meant to take this seriously? ' throughout the runtime because the lyrics oozed cheese and greasy douchebaggery. surprisingly enough this wasn't an entirely unpleasant experience, just an odd one. but that's what this project is all about so for the sake of broadening my horizons this gets a 1
so smooth, bit melancholy, utterly captivating. i think her voice is one of my faves from this big band era but for some reason [maybe everything else going on rn] i could not connect as thoroughly as i wanted to w/ this record. will be revisiting on my own time tbh
live bands are really hit or miss for me but this one was a pleasant and funky surprise on all fronts. modern day afrobeats has been deservedly taking the world by storm but it's nice to see its forebearers laying the groundwork so to speak
this is a classic band that has fans the world over. but apart from bad moon rising i had no frame of reference for understanding what was so unique abt their sound or them as a group. so this was the perfect album for me to give a listen to with ears as fresh as fresh can be. loved listening to this almost as much as i loved looking into CCR and stumbling across the term 'swamp and bayou rock'.
FIRST OF ALL mr. flea on the bass??????????/// no further comments ur honour
