3 Feet High and Rising
De La SoulDifficult to find (I found on soundcloud). Just absolutely outstanding. Playful, funny, inventive, beats and flow on point and lyricism is superb, but what really makes it is the range and quality of the sampling.

I loved Teen Age Riot, Eric’s Trip and Hey Joni. I loved parts of the other songs too, often the first 3-4 minutes. You can definitely hear the breadth of influence this band and album had. But I just can’t be doing, personally, with the long experimental instrumental bits. For me the song was fine before you started mucking about on the distortion pedal for minutes on end. Just write a good rock song and get out, which these guys are definitely capable of. Others will disagree and no doubt I’m a casual, but I got bored at several points.
Sacrilege I know but…meh. Some good funky pop tracks and some truly turgid ballads set to plinky plonky child’s keyboard backing.
5/5 no notes. Exceptional.
14 songs in 29 minutes! Lovely stuff. Incredibly fun, joyful, in your face stuff, if ultimately a little repetitive.
Great, driving grunge fare with superb rock vocals. Turn it up loud in the car.
Hasn’t aged as well as I thought I would tbh but a solid effort enlivened by some top beats
