good solid album. has that early 80s feel but without all the extra fluff. some very thoughtful moments lyrics-wise. great instrumentation throughout, not repetitive.

as slow starting but solid alt rock album. A great instrumental opener led into a somewhat lazy first half, but boy did they pick it up in the second half. The signature Pixies sounds rears its head and it is beautiful. 7/10.

what. an. album. great vocals killer instrumentation. Clapton absolutely shreds on guitar. There’s a great mix of blues styles but it all comes together like a delicious soup of sound. loved it.

Janie’s Got a Gun is enough to give this album 3/5 at the very least. Very technically sound. Tyler’s vocals are solid. not extraordinary imo but undeniably good.

gritty blues rock from some of the best to ever do it. love it.

all around great album, stylistically consistent throughout, without becoming repetitive, beautiful vocals, killer production.

funky, soulful, and straight up FUN album. crazy that is was their debut.

one of the greatest voices of all time shows up full force on this one. an 80s gem.

The birth of heavy metal, and it was beautiful. A true power trio firing on all cylinders.

old school punk from a band that i’m surprised isn’t talked about more! technically sound, with more complex arrangements than you’d expect from a punk group. loved it.

GOAT

solid effort all around, straight to the point, cohesive, kickass instrumentation, loved it. what a debut album

beautiful, hilarious, heart wrenching, honest. the first i’ve heard of John Grant and this is now on my deserted island list. loved every second.
