YES!! An album I've been meaning to listen to! First up, Planet Claire, this build up is wild, sounds like some 60's SciFi soundtrack in the best way possible, and here comes your man on the vocals, sounds like a space robot, perfect for the song! 52 Girls, jangly pop sort of driving beat like all their songs, it works well for them, ladies on the vocals. Dance This Mess Around, a song that you can't really dance to that's about dances! Amazing work! Rock Lobster, CLASSIC!! Lava, more straightforward rock song, well at least for them, and it's still weird! There's a Moon in the Sky (Called the Moon), well that's the most B-52's song title I can think of, this is that out there stuff I expected from this band, a song about the moon and just shouting plants out, sign me up! Hero Worship, kind of just happening in the background, hardly noticed that the song changed, ooops! 6060-842, well they sing the title, wasn't expecting that! And they're saying it over and over, I really should have saw this coming! Has a new wave on acid feel musically. Downtown, I think this is a cover...the greatest cover ever! A great listen can get away from you and might be better mixed in with other songs.
Starts off upbeat, gets into boring slow jams, picks back up, slows down again, picks up, slows down it all sounds too clean, I'm sure grocery stores and outlet malls are happy this exists
It's the same song over and over again! The Garfunkel song is rough!
Very familiar with the two big singles off this, looking forward to hearing the rest. Sympathy bangs, sill. No Expectations a slow burning blues number that wants to explode but never does which actually works, nice piano on this. Dear Doctor, another blues track, very minimal, chugging along very "I'm hung over as shit" type of track. Parachute Woman, more upbeat blues track, I'm sensing a pattern. Jigsaw Puzzle, mid tempo blues, I dig the drumming, starting to sound all the same, a little less blues-y but still on brand, too long can't get through it lyrics kind of dumb! Street fighting Man still bangs! Prodigal Son, um...this is a blues cover I hope and I hope Mick isn't proud of this voice. Stray Cat Blues, gee what's this going to sound like? Play the blues punk! Liking the drums again, less blues than I thought strangely, kind of rips tbh, too long for a single at the time, should be better known, great song! Factory Girl, unexpected like us that a fiddle? Very basic guitar and fiddle? Cool. Salt of the Earth, nope, couldn't finish this
I still do not get this guy, that being said it was an enjoyable record
Speed King, feels familiar, like the organ. Bloodsucker, wasn't paying attention, boring. Child in Time, fake epic, another miss. Yeah songs too long, album is trash.
Halfway Home, such a great way to start an album, hits you right in the chest gets your ass moving! Crying, upbeat disco vibes not bad, not one I'd come back to. Dancing choose, like spitting lyrics, like the drive in the music and the hook, the HORNS! Stork & Owl, starts slowly, slow jam? Sounds like videogame music a little, skipped. Golden Age, another disco type vibe, that Bee Gees falsetto, kicks in and is a banger, I think this was a single! Family Tree, slow build, piano is slow then drops? Acapella? Not a fan of this really, to minimal but not in a good way. Red Dress, nice DFA vibes, like the Rapture and shit! Nice upbeat tune with fucked up lyrics! Love Dog, slow build again, touching on electronic music, never remembered that, going to be too long for me. Shout me Out, building again, not catching me like others, kind of like the drums, kicks IN!! THIS JOINT GOES!! DLZ, this is a slow burning banger! Lover's Day, cool track, nice way to end it.
Never heard of this artist or album, first song is epic! Has a Pink Floyd feel but with less of the experimentation, more of the straightforward parts of PF. Second track very Father John Misty type vibe, I like the ending. Song three, slow jam, I should listen to the lyrics more, I'm sure they're saying something. Song four, seriously this is Pink John Misty, with a touch of Lynard Skynyrd? Song five, back to FJM, boom cussing! Kind of reminds me of Gordon Lightfoot vocally a little. Song six, some swinging ragtime business! Song seven, the FJM stuff is distracting. Song eight, it's like a song Bowie would write and throw out, then hear the arrangement and be like, nope, still don't like it! Song nine, title is WILD, odd synth but I kind of like it, feels like a personal song, a bummer subject and yet it's really upbeat, man goes hard on this, unexpected n-word! Song ten, piano is back, FJM is back, maybe more Anthony and The Johnsons, getting into that range, this sounds both new and familiar! Song eleven, sparse piano jam into a nice build, cool little song. Song twelve, same as the others! Overall I can't get past all the things that it sounds like, too distracting, that being said, never heard this album or artist but feels like I have heard every song on this before, except track nine, that's a wild one!
Solid release, not my go to choice if I want to listen to reggae music. It's always nice to hear No Women No Cry in it's original form!

Fantastic compilation of their first two records, I actually own this and remember really enjoying it! It hits all the right notes and still sounds good! Nothing but back to back bangers! Hard to rate seeing as it's sort of a best of not an actual album.
Masterpiece! The foundation of all that is electronic and dance music today! A stone cold classic!
Big singles off this, some filler and the song May This Be Love sounds like all three guys are playing a different song at the same time! The version I'm listening to is the expanded version so more tracks than it should have so it's hard to rate, do you use the UK version, US or expanded version?
This album is FANTASTIC!! I'm blown away by how good it is...I have heard of this band but clearly never listened to them, my mistake! Really deserves a good sit down listen which I will do in the future, it really blindsided me! A few tracks are a little lacking so it's not perfect but it's damn good!
Noooooooooo! First song is 18 minutes long! Starts with birds and chimes? Prog is both good and way too self indulgent! I like ideas in the music but they need to be removed, shortened and made into more manageable songs! The sing chanting doesn't help! All the playing is too notch, just nerds that wouldn't stop until they were perfect players! Oh it's supposed to sound like a bunch of songs it's like part 1,2,3 or whatever! 18 minutes later...still not sold on prog but I didn't turn it off! Oh track 2 is only 10 minutes and I've heard this before! Still can't get into the voice!
It sounds too much like a hundred other ladies with a guitar and microphone
Feels a little bit dated but would love to hear it again and explore more of his catalog
The hits still bang but it's hard to separate the art from the artist
This Beatles album is ok but they have better ones. FIVE STARS BABY, THE DEL SAMPLE!!! I like the first song and the last one! Everything in between is ok to trash! Kind of gives Grateful Dead vibes but if they didn't go further than like 3 minute pop songs, all the Dead without the drugs! Also heavy Beatles energy!
The toilet, how scandalous! Singles still bang! Straight Shooter sounds familiar to me but I don't think I've ever heard it, I think this song is about drugs or woman! Got a Feelin is NOT a cover of the BEP song! I call your name is a little country...not much rock and roll. Lifeless cover of Do You Wanna Dance, or it's the original? Go where you whatever this is too repetitive. Spanish Harlem, banger of a song, trash version! Somebody Groovy... fucking seriously, groovy...Hey Girl, come fuck with me not that asshole, mans going for it! You Baby, another pimp anthem, this dude is trying!
Absolute CLASSIC!! My ears are ready to BLEED!!
Very familiar with the singles looking forward to the rest!
LoL I'm familiar with this, is 5 really enough? This was released at the most ideal time in my life and I've lived with this for what seems like forever so I can't give it less than 5!!
Oh what to do about the Morrissey of it all? Love this album and think 5 stars right away but then I remember that Morrissey is a thing, this is always tough, separating the art from the artist. In the end this record is too good not to rate a 5, but fuck Morrissey!
Oh dear lord don't make me do this! The End is still a banger, the singles are just too played out!
This sounds dated, I wanted to like it but I can't get there!
This is a lost gem for me! I've heard of this band but only really their big single and that one album! Mark Lanegan is amazing, should get a lot more shine than he did! Very solid rock record that breaks out of the grunge label
Never been a fan of Jay Z after listening to this my opinion hasn't changed, dude is corny! Beats sound dated, very 2000's, rap music is wild, it really was of its time! It doesn't help I wasn't all that interested in rap music at this time, kind of outgrew it by the time Jay Z was a big deal. KRS ALREADY MADE THE BLUEPRINT STUPID
What more can be said about this that hasn't already been said, a perfect record, a modern classic that actually deserves to be called that!
Starts off upbeat, gets into boring slow jams, picks back up, slows down again, picks up, slows down it all sounds too clean, I'm sure grocery stores and outlet malls are happy this exists
Stone cold classic! I still remember when I got this cassette and EVERYONE wanted a dub of this!
I recently revisited this album and really enjoyed it! Looking forward to listening to it again! Love that it starts off with a mixture of so many sounds! Really great way to introduce your band and their sound! I thought Brimful of Asha was a massive pop hit but I don't think that's the case! Perception plays a big part of reviewing these albums! Love the instrumental interludes! Overall this record has a lot going on and it all works really well together!
Starts with 3 BANGERS! This Nirvana demo is dope! He's really trying to find himself and his sound, it's a solid record and a sign of what's to come but feels more like a demo than a complete album. More like an EP with lots of filler
Know the name more than the music! Taking me back with the sound of the 90's! Enjoying it for what it is, don't think it's really a standout from everything else out at the time. I like Into The Drink, Fuzz Gun '91, Pokin' Around and Check Out Time. Not mindblowing, it's a fine record.
Fuck the Byrds! Transmitting live from Mars!
I'm familiar with The Cure but I'm not that familiar with this record! I really enjoyed it! I was surprised at how much it was an instrumental heavy record, I expected more Robert Smith and it took until the last half of the album for him to really show out! Great record, love all the build up and the music is beautiful!
Horny horn time!! That introduction was too long but the first real track is a banger! More of this please! YES! Shit just goes! Dump that boring intro and bring that heat! Horny horns and smooth crooning, hell yeah brother! Peter motherfucking Cetera in the building! Some ripping guitar!
What is this? Only familiar with one song and the rest are kind of ok, not sure this is my thing.
Better than I expected, hard to take a song about staying off your feet or at least taking care of your feet, seriously what the hell is this? Yes guys eat Rhymes with feet, brilliant! Ok Student Demonstration Time is kind of missing a better singer and lyrics but has a very Greatful Dead vibe, I'd rather be listening to the Dead. Stick to surfing my dudes
More than just the two big singles this album is so dope! The musicianship is outstanding, Shock G was a beast and really underrated, they were hip hops answer to Parliament Funkadelic!
Kind of boring, I'm sure if I was listening a little harder I'd get the message but I just don't care
She has a Lovely voice and I'm not familiar enough with vocal Jazz but I really enjoyed this
This is my favorite Vampire Weekend album! I enjoy this album more now than I did when I first heard it. Feels like a very adult album with adult themes and banging ass African music!
The Beach Boys have one amazing record and this ain't it! This is the second album by them and I don't get the appeal. This does have that joint from Alf on it so it's not all that bad!
Maybe I'm just not a Fugazi person, this is ok but I'm not excited about it, don't want to rewind any songs or search this out!
Love it! This is like going to a dive bar and seeing the greatest show you've ever seen and wondering how this is happening here and why can't I stay here for the rest of my life! Witty poetry from a master of words I can't get enough of these stories and songs!
Another awesome album I'm very familiar with, it's been a while so looking forward to hearing it again!
Fine live record but it's nothing special no idea why this is here
Very 90's! The singles are just too massive and it sort of takes away from the rest of the record. I feel like they got better on each album after this, probably their most popular album and far from their best but still really good.
