I have always loved the Sweet Jane cover but had never listened to this entire album until now. I am blown away at how ethereal and gorgeous it truly is from start to finish. First time voting an album I've never heard prior a 5....just fantastic.
Friend of mine in high school was very into them. I always found them to be dissonant, noisy, atonal, and high on their own supply......I still do John....I still do....
Loved this. Angry, raw and powerful. Still amazed I somehow missed out on PJ in the 90s.
Very easy 5. Early Metallica is just so goddamn good. Needed this one on a Friday after a tough week.
Love this album from beginning to end.
Glad to be starting this and to have this be the first album on the journey. I have heard the standouts many times and they are classics for a reason. The overall tone is very melancholy and yet beautiful and uplifting. Really enjoyed this one and will come back to it again I'm sure.
Great stuff. I've always wanted to delve into Waits' catalog and was not disappointed with this first record. Tom's voice is definitely not for everyone but the story telling and the greasy, bluesy, soulful, and beautifully melancholy delivery all over this album is just phenomenal. Didn't realize that he wrote Jersey Girl and I think this is the better version.
Electronic and ambient to be sure. Not really for me but can understand why it is highly regarded.
The idea that this was largely improvised is astounding. Amazing performance.
Prime 80s.
eh....
Clapton is a guitar master, there really is no arguing this. That said, the album is very middle of the road at best and most of the time quite boring. Bob's version of I shot the sheriff is superior. Also.... Fuck Eric Clapton 😂
Minimalist and atmospheric. Really enjoyed this one.
Funky, soulful and a lot of fun. Clearly a very influential and important album in the genre.
Enjoyed most of this album very much. Simple yet beautiful music under pure poetry.
Classic anthems and great guitar work throughout. Strong opening, lost me a bit in the second half but overall a excellent album.
Fucking smooth as silk....loved it
To be fair, I liked it more than I thought I would. Some stand outs and interesting sampling, but most was just monotonous and boring.
Alot of fun listening to this. Funky 70s vibe and tons of percussion.
It would get a 5 from me for Epic alone....the rest of the album is just as fantastic front to back. War Pigs!!
Overall an enjoyable listen although in spots trended toward atonal. No denying the musicianship but definitely not my favorite from Miles. 3.5
What's not to love here. Great percussion, blaring horns, intricate guitar work, and wonderful vocal harmonies. My only critique is that some of the songs went on a bit longer than they needed to. Overall a great album.
Cannot believe I've not heard these guys before. Kick ass punk, a saxophone and a great vocalist. You can hear the Sex Pistols but they also have their own undeniable sound and style. Clearly a huge influence on many of the more modern ska/punk bands I grew up listening to.
Enjoyed most of this one. Lazarus and I can't give everything away were highlights for me.
I was looking forward to this one as I know it's widely regarded as Coltrane's masterpiece. I can appreciate the musicianship on display for sure. Every member clearly a master of their instrument. I think it's just my relationship with jazz in general but when the pieces drift apart or delve into atonal sound, I enjoy it less overall. Maybe after subsequent listens I will warm to it more.
Not bad. Not great.
Cheesy, over the top, melodramatic....and I loved it. His name is Robert Paulson!
Always have loved the standouts but never gave the full album a listen. Really enjoyed it all the way through despite not being huge into reggae.
Definitely appreciated the first track and the explanation of the various instruments/musical structure. Very interesting though not something I would listen to again.
Liked this album much more than I thought I would. Dusty's voice is wonderful throughout. Son of a Preacher Man is a classic but other standouts for me were The Windmills of Your Mind and No Easy Way Down.
Beautiful and just so damn sad....her voice is unmistakable even if not as dynamic is it was on past albums.
I tried....I really did. Not for me. Sorry Lemmy!
I know ever sour note and feedback moment by heart. A great performance that gets better ever time I listen to it.
Another one that surprised me...."car wheels" drives me nuts but I did enjoy most of the rest of the album...3.5
Wonderful stuff here back to front
This is the first one so far that I had never heard before, was sure I would love and could not wait for it to be over....The album is far to long and the genre blending, vocal and songwriting choices just never landed for me. Sorry Black Francis...
I have always loved the Sweet Jane cover but had never listened to this entire album until now. I am blown away at how ethereal and gorgeous it truly is from start to finish. First time voting an album I've never heard prior a 5....just fantastic.
I'm not sure how I missed the boat on this band but I love it....great listen all the way through
I liked a lot of it but the sexist lyrics are tough to listen through. Fuck, fuck, fuck, motherfucker as well....
I enjoyed the album and 50s era Jazz in general. Didn't realize this was a compilation record. Repetitive in spots
The Humpty Dance is always good for a smile but this thing was tough to get through. It's way way way to long and repetitive for me. 2.5
High energy post punk compilation. I enjoyed most of this one
Just beautiful...
Love Bjork...the spoken word stuff, not so much. Birthday was a highlight for me
Classics are great but they kind of lost me in the second half
Pure 80s synth pop mastery. Would get a 5 from me for Time after Time alone.
Enjoyed most. Alot of unorganized noise in sections but many moments of beauty. Broken heart was a huge standout. 3.5
Not my favorite Radiohead album but still brilliant and far from their worst
Absolutely essential album for me. The Femmes opened the door to so many other bands in my youth.
Solid 60s folk. Easy listen and "Who Knows Where the Time Goes" is a standout
Janis' voice is otherworldly. Just didn't click with a lot of the tracks on this one.
Such a wonderful album front to back. Would get a 5 for Father and Son alone.
Solid 80s power metal.
Nostalgia heavy for me. A couple of duds (wtf 17?) but overall a decent rock record. Closer will always be a standout.
Kid Rock is a garbage human being. That said, there was a time I enjoyed some of this record. Not so much these days....
Loved this and cannot believe I missed the boat on PJ somehow.
Funky, jazzy, soulful bliss. Great stuff and War is clearly more than just low rider...
Talented musicians and enjoyed a lot of this one more than I thought I would
Most of it wasn't for me but Tainted Love and Say Hello, Wave Goodbye are great (David Gray's version is better imo).
You really need to be in the right head space to listen to a Cohen album and today, I was....Just a hauntingly beautiful record from start to finish.
New the hits well but never gave this one a full listen. Goddamn do I love this record. Iggy + Bowie = Magic.
This album made me realize....I'm just not that into salsa....
3 for nostalgia and the beats...1 for the lyrics that aged like milk....meet you at 2
Personal all time favorite album so an easy 5
Great album. Every track is as unique as Michael's voice.
Not big into reggae but I enjoyed this much more than I thought I would.
Nothing terribly innovative here but does does everything need to be? I enjoyed this one for what it is, a solid 90s Britpop album
Love this album from beginning to end.
I suffered through this entire thing hoping to find something, anything positive to keep it from being my first 1. I try to be objective when it comes to stuff outside of my taste, but this is just a complete dumpster fire of awful. Boring, tedious, awful sounding and relentlessly repetitive.
Another nostalgia heavy album that is now difficult to look past the misogyny, homophobia and violence. Stan will always be a classic and Kim is still unbearably uncomfortable to sit through. There's no denying his talent, his ability to shock with his lyrics and or the fantastic hooks/beats scattered throughout this one.
Over produced and hyper polished...every song seems bigger than the last... And I still love it almost 20 years later.
I have such a love/hate with Dylan. Brilliant lyricist and songwriter but a vocalist he damn sure ain't. +1 for The Band carrying the second half of this performance despite the wailing off key vocals
Not for me
This guy needs some therapy....not for me
Having suffered through The Shamen earlier in the month, I decided after the first two tracks of this one that I wasn't going to put my ears through it again....time becomes a loop....time becomes a loop....time becomes a loop....
Nico can’t sing her way out of a paper bag and that flute can fuck right off. That said, I did somehow enjoy this one more than I thought I would. Haunting and ethereal throughout. 2.5
Better than most of the electronic I've been exposed to here but still monotonous and boring in alot of spots.
Starbuck's jokes aside, I really did dig this album. Norah's voice is just so damn silky smooth. Each track more relaxing and comforting than the last. Probably helped that I had a gentle snow fall happening outside while listening, but I stand by the rating
Goddamn, what a great album. Sinead's vocals are truly incredible. Nothing compares 2 U was always a favorite but I am so glad to have finally listened to the rest of this record. RIP Sinead....
Felt like I was walking a street in Blade Runner.....not bad as far as electronic goes
Fucking masterpiece.
Damn, I really enjoyed this.
Nope. Nope. Nope. Ironic fascism (?) blended with electronic/industrial repetition....An absolute slog to get through and had a hard time finding anything note worthy that would save it from this rating.
Leaned into that sax waaaaaay to hard on this one David.
Dark, brooding and I loved every second. Great album.
Doesn't hold up well and I generally enjoy synth pop. Tough to get through and found it extremely jarring
Kind of exactly what I needed today....The entire album is just so goddamn cool and smooth as silk.
It's Rush. Epic prog rock and I enjoyed most very much....that said, fuck Ayn Rand.
Loved this. Trippy, experimental, often weird and yet still organic, cohesive and frankly beautiful. Do you realize was always a favorite but had never listened to this one in it's entirety. So glad to have discovered what I've been missing all these years.
I didn't despise this as much as some of the other electronica I've run into here. I also didn't find it to be all that interesting either.
I just don't understand this band....On paper, I probably should be into them. Instead, I find them just irritating to listen to overall. Morrissey is a piece of shit and can't sing his way out of a paper bag....
I go back and forth on this kind of art rock from 2000s. 3.5 on this one.
Not really a fan then. Not really a fan now.
Pretty decent 90s grungy/psychedelic brit pop 3.5
Enjoyed the back half more than the front. Her voice is strained and grungy in the best sort of way. Ballad of Lucy Jordan and the Working Class Hero cover were stand outs
Dark, brooding, synthy, 80s. Loved it.
Enjoyed more than I thought I would. Emmy Lou needs more credit for this record than she gets
Could not wait for this one to be over. Chord progressions are all over the place. Vocals are weak. Someone else described it as bad Tears for Fears and that's spot on. Couple of decent songs but overall, not for me.
Hell yes. Real fun way to spend a sunny Friday afternoon
Loved this front to back....what a voice, what a performance. hit after hit after hit.
The Cure at their darkest and most bleak. Loved most of this one. 4.5
What the fuck did I just listen to? Is this what having a stroke sounds like?
Just a wonderful listen from beginning to end. Great album from my favorite Beatle.
Few good tracks, but way to long and his voice becomes increasingly monotonous over this length of a performance. That said, the band sounds great. Fuck Van Morrison tho...
I'd probably be more into Dylan if someone else sang his music....still enjoyed this one a great deal. Storytelling mastery.
Liked this one way more than I thought I would. Could do without the skits (bad mouth kid can stay).
I've been waiting for screamy man as I'd never listened to it in it's entirety. Enjoyed some but I think it peaks with Epitaph
Title track has always been a favorite. Rest of the album is pretty formulaic and the lyrics are ridiculous. That said, solid metal/punk from start to finish. -1 for Jailbait tho (yikes).
Quite easily a 1 if not for the nostalgia bump and occasional decent moments. Overall a repetitive pile of annoying garbage. Could not wait for it to be over.
Meh....Sunshine of your love is a classic but nothing else really stood out for me. Also, fuck Eric Clapton.
Liked this one a lot more than I imaged I would. Can definitely see spinning this on a hot summer day, drinking a couple cold beers in the back yard. That said, it does over stay its welcome a tad being over two hours in length.
Friend of mine in high school was very into them. I always found them to be dissonant, noisy, atonal, and high on their own supply......I still do John....I still do....
Definitely one of those separate the art from the artist moments. Kayne is a complete waste of space and a garbage human being but there is no denying this record.
Fuck the haters....that's a 5 from me dawg.
Wow....this is exactly why I started this journey. The genre blending and instrumentation are very interesting and refreshing. Excellent album all the way through.
Not usually much for ambient but I enjoyed most of this one.
Simply gorgeous all the way through. So glad to have run into Gillian and this album today.
Has several moments when it becomes tolerable....and as soon as you have that thought, it devolves back into hyper prog unlistenable garbage....
Solid thrash metal
Bands I wish I had discovered years ago for 100 please....Fucking great stuff.
Chris Martin is an insufferable asshat but I have to admit that I do enjoy most of this one quite a bit.
Two insufferable cunts in one day... Morrissey edges Chris Martin for being a massive bigoted racist piece of shit tho... That said, I actually enjoyed most of this. Much more than any of his other solo stuff or Smiths album I've ran into here. Nice work dickhead!
Justin Hawkins is fantastic and this album is just pure rock fun. Great stuff.
Love watching the detectives but the rest didn't really do anything for me.
As horrible as I imagined it would be.
There could be nothing after the first four tracks and I'd still give it a 5....
Cleaned the house and felt like I was in an episode of Miami Vice the entire time....would listen again.
Calling it a masterpiece still doesn't do it enough justice.
French Rammstein meets NIN. Liked it more than I thought I would.
Easiest 5 I will likely give on this list...an absolute masterpiece.
Lars is a piece of shit and he always will be, but it's still tough for me to give this anything but a 5
Fuck Morrissey but this is still a solid album honestly.
Absolutely one of the hidden gems I had hoped to stumble upon when starting this journey. Gorgeous trip from beginning to end.
Yea, I hated pretty much every second of this. Fuck your atonal meandering saxophone most of all.
Other than Our House, it kind of sucks...
I spent most of this listen waiting for them to get the fuck on with it.... They never did.
Despite its cheesy glory, I didn't hate it. Talkin it up!
I shockingly found myself really enjoying most of this album. The last SY record I had was definitely not for me. This one seemed more accessible somehow or maybe just caught me on the right day. Got me with this one Jon....
Fucking tremendous....exactly the record I hope for every time I have to struggle through another The Residents or similar project. Truly breath taking from beginning to end.
Loved this. Definitely a band/album I feel like I missed out on but am glad to be discovering now!
Solid and fun glam rock album all the way through. Made me go back and relisten to Electric Warrior which I definitely would change from a 3 to a 4
I could tell right out the gate this was gonna be a long hour. Not for me.... Boring, repetitious garbage...
4.5 Like prayer is a timeless banger
E-pro is a great track but I was just not that into the rest. Found it boring and annoying in spots. Stark contrast to Sea Change which I do love.
Fun as hell. Smile on my face for the duration of the album.
Mercifully short...Nazareth or Roy or Joan or really anyone's cover of Love Hurts is superior...
Is this real? What an absolute pile of dogshit....First album I did not finish. How the fuck is this garbage on the same list as Songs in the Key of Life?
Steve the pirate started a band.... They're not great...
Ethereal and beautiful from start to finish.
Eric Clapton is a racist piece of dog shit. +1 for Layla and +1 for Duane Allman
I usually do not enjoy electronic music but holy shit is this good! Funky as hell and never repetitive like some of the other electronic albums I've had so far. Genuine surprise and will definitely be listening again down the road!
Loved it....I'm gonna go watch Big Night now.
The overly repetitious 90s strike again. A few decent tracks but found it a chore overall.
Meh... Also wtf was that free form guitar track?!
Could barely get through this one....not for me
Very easy 5. Early Metallica is just so goddamn good. Needed this one on a Friday after a tough week.
I feel like I should like this band more than I do. Just never really clicked for me. Follow up album is definitely better than this one
Was definitely not in the mood for ANOTHER The Byrds pyschfolkwhateverthefuck this is today...
10/5
+1 for an entire track devoted to Judge Dredd
Boom...Dat...Boom...Datta Dat...Blorp... Beep... Blarp...Narp...
Best Bowie album I've had so far.
Damn... Liked this way more than anticipated. Wall to wall hard rock bangers. Great stuff.
I just can't get into the dissonant non-sensical rambling. Spun Kind of Blue immediately after listening to remind myself I still enjoy some jazz.
Really enjoyed this one. Clearly a huge influence on alot of the bands I grew up with listening to in the 90s. Glad to have discovered them.
A few truly great tracks but the rest is just meh....plus these guys are definitely assholes...
Usually like Nick Cave's stuff but this is shit...
Classic for a reason....can't hate on it.
I somehow didn't hate this like I assumed I would...repetitious but fun and solid beats. Enjoyed it way more than I thought
Nope, not for me.
Every song slaps, not just the big hits....so good.
Nostalgia hit for sure, but goddamn this is just a phenomenal record.
Enjoyable listen if not a bit long.
Been waiting on this one. Absolutely lived up to the hype and I am sad to have only just listened to it in its entirety. 16 year old me is kicking my 40 something year old ass for waiting so long...
Solid ska band made worse (for the most part) by a ridiculous vocalist.
Fuck. Yea.
Easy enough listen but nothing stood out. Did not care for the vocal style either.
Fantastic album, front to back. Easy 5.
I'm just not into the Barrett years. I fucking tried, OK!?
Soulless drek from a once great band...
Simultaneously interesting and boring....
Gorgeous album. Did not expect to like it as much as I did. Emmylou's voice is just tremendous and the tracks flow so well from start to finish.
Mercifully short.... One thing this list has made me realize is how much I really despise most of this era and certainly psychedelic rock in general. Ever see that episode of Family Guy where Peter and Lois start a folk band? Yea, Handful of Peter is what I hear every time one of these albums shows up. https://youtu.be/NpJW6lFUA_g?si=KfyyqgQ-LNW85lTJ&t=62
Very sadly overlooked album. Definitely has a Neil Young sound in spots. Great listen from front to back and a true gem on this list.
I like the Stones. I very much dislike Jagger. +3 for paint it black on its own. The rest is basically mid range stolen repetitive blues. Going home made me physically upset. What an over indulgent piece of shit that is.
Classic for a reason.
Perfect album for this rainy day
I'd probably like this more if the lead singer wasn't trying to do his best Morrissey impression on a lot of the tracks. Still a solid 90s Britpop album. 3.5
Really enjoyed but the vocal wore me down after awhile. 4.5
Funky, silky smooth and just a delight to listen to.
Both achingly beautiful and an expression of a sadness beyond measure....you can feel Nick's grief for his son in every song. Might be the first 5 album I've come across that I may never listen to again....
Like others have said, if it weren't for the dog shit lyrics (that I hope are self aware and supposed to be funny?) this is a really fun album with a ton of great riffs.
Meh....
JCPenney background music is an excellent descriptor.
Honestly, fuck 60s psychedelia. This has one sort of solid track on it and it's 16 minutes to goddamn long.
Was not into the monotone off key vocals today....Sorry Siouxsie...
Another one that I simply don't "get" I suppose....
Probably 4.5 if I'm being honest just because I do think it might do well with a bit trimming. Otherwise beautiful album.
Much better than anticipated
Some definite bangers on here but it is about 10 minutes to long
I'm sorry I slept on this band in the 90s. Clearly my loss.
Another happy discovery from the list. 4.5 overall. Some spots just a bit to Evanescence-esque for me.
If all jazz were as smooth and groovy as this record, I'd probably like the genre alot more overall. Great stuff 4.5
Nostalgia hit for sure but I love this damn record...
I don't know what it is, but I just can't get into most Talking Heads.
Perfect album for this dreary, rainy day. Have always loved her voice and the instrumentation on this record. Great stuff.
Synth pop way ahead of its time.
As much as I can't stand Lars for being both a shit drummer AND human...I can't give this album less than a 5....
Great voice. Bored me to tears.
Funky, soulful and alot of fun.
Liked it more than anticipated. 3.5
Awesome "gettin shit done" album.
Fred Durst is a massive shit heel. That said, 3.5 for nostalgia.
Boring as hell but I liked most of it.
Couple of pretty good tracks. Started to sound the same toward the back half. 3.5
Another surprise for sure. Not quite perfect with tracks deer stop and oompah radar a miss for me, but otherwise a very cool vibe overall. 4.5
Points for musicianship but overall not for me.
Holy shit what a find! Great stuff here. "Hate my way" definitely a standout for me.
Overall, the best Costello I've listened to so far on this list.
Anytime a track had some decent groove going, this asshole's voice and bullshit lyrics creep in to fuck it up. It does have its moments but that vocal just took me out of most of it.
Definitely enjoyed this way more than anticipated. Has an overall mood that caught me on the right day.
Fucking torturous....
A few bangers but it starts to sound the same the further you get into the album.
I am by no means a jazz connoisseur, but this album always seemed to goddamn cool and accessible to me. Easy 5.
Percussion absolutely on fire throughout....the rest didn't really do much for me.
This guys vocal delivery and lyrics made me irrationally angry... Otherwise it was great! Just kidding, it's fucking terrible. It did have a couple of solid instrumental moments that saved it from a 1 from me.
Not much here for me at base, then I find out the guy stole most of the album from other artists. I guess +1 for helping to bring hip hop/world music to GB but otherwise, fuck this guy and his record.
Very ambitious and not all of them are winners for sure. Somewhere in here is a 5 star record.
3.5 -.5 because Groove. The rest was sort monotonous tbh.
Loved this.
Another great surprise from the list. Really enjoyed most of this one. 4.5
Odd but has its moments. You got me with Nick Cave in the second half...
Liked this ALOT more than anticipated. Really nice syncopated percussion throughout. Could have used a horn section in spots.
Steaming pile of pretentious garbage. I kept waiting for something that was redeemable and it never showed up.
High octane rock from a bunch of fellas that can barely play their instruments or sing worth a shit....loved it.
Easy, enjoyable listen but somewhat bloated. 3.5
Naw....I won't listen to this Nazi's bullshit today...
Great stuff....really seems ahead of its time. Such a clear influence on what came later....wish I had given them a more thorough listen sooner.
If it weren't for metropolis having a slight blade runner vibe, this turd would have gotten a 1. I just don't understand the appeal of these guys.
I'm all set with this one....
This list has made me realize how much of a fan of The Flaming Lips I really am apparently.... I loved this entire album.
Great listen from start to finish. Have always liked what I've heard from them but never listened to an album straight through. Fantastic stuff.
RIP to the Prince of Darkness....thank you for this masterpiece and all the rest of the amazing music you a gave us over 50+ years
As I said with the last Dexy's album I got - "Solid ska band made worse (for the most part) by a ridiculous vocalist." This remains the case though .5 for Come on Eileen because it's a classic.
Fun and funky throughout and all without Virtual Insanity. Solid album.
Not quite sure how they managed it, but some of these tracks are ALMOST good.
Absolute classic. Anything less than a 5 seems wrong.
Damn....Frank is sad.....
Not for me.
Loved this. Angry, raw and powerful. Still amazed I somehow missed out on PJ in the 90s.
Possibly my favorite discovery in this list. I have always loved Nearly Lost You and Lanegan's voice in general, but never really dug deep into their catalogue. Just fantastic all the way through.
Who the hell is this for? That rap was cringey af.
Really enjoyed this one. Trancey without being overly repetitious and love her vocals.
Started off strong but slowly started to lose me. 3.5
Most of the lyrics aged like milk but I have a soft spot for Em...
Really enjoyed this one. Will definitely be exploring more of their discography soon.
Not for me. Samsey bleep blorp bullshit.
None of the major hits and still fairly enjoyable overall. More depth on several tracks than I was anticipating. 3.5
Better than I thought it would be overall. Snuff is just a great track
Phenomenal.....how did I miss the boat on these guys?!
Not a huge fan of the Barrett years at baseline. This just sounds like a record producer abusing someone in the middle of a massive mental decline.
I cannot believe that it took me 45 years to get this beauty into my ears....what a fucking magnificent record from start to finish.
I suppose I'm just not sophisticated enough...
I don't think I can describe how much I love this album. It has been with me for 30 plus years and I never grow tired of listening to it all the way through.
WTF did I just listen to?
Nope.
The vocals took out of this one. Shame too because I enjoyed a lot of the instrumental. Two dancers were both decent tracks overall.
Great listen. New dawn fades and shadow play were standouts for me. 4.5
Definitely not my favorite but it has Elanor Rigby on it...so there's that.
Couldn't wait for it to be over....
Love perfect day and wild side but kind of lost me on the rest. 3.5
Another enjoyable listen from beginning to end. That one guy is right....there are two types of people, those who like ABBA and those who pretend not to.
Nope. I just can't get into this type of prog.
yea that sucked....moments where you think, hey this part is actually pretty good, which they immediately subvert by playing random out of tune notes or irritating sounds like a digital frog....
3.5
I liked the majority of this quiet a bit. I wasn't all in on the debut either, so I'll have to give that a relisten. Still life was a standout for sure
Barely made it though this... Two people bang trash cans together while Hitler yells at me... No fucking thank you.
Incredible album. The b sides are equal to and sometimes better than the more well known tracks.
Chill ambient 90s chill house...liked it more than I thought I would 3.5
Hell yea...loved this.
Best Yes album I've had on here. Not really a Yes fan overall but this one was very listenable.
Cheezy cornball elevator jazz...no thank you.
Cool as hell
Nostalgia heavy for sure. Drags and samsey in spots but I can't hate it.
Buffalo Stance is great... Not so much after that...
Loved it...wonderful mix of traditional Irish instruments and late 80s early 90s indie/folk. Heartfelt and uplifting. Needed this one today.
Really fun overall and without you is a timeless banger. 4.5
4.5
Damn near perfect album. Easy 5
Definitely does not hit like Mezzanine... Found it a chore to listen through
Three maybe four songs to long but an overall very enjoyable listen. 4.5
Another one that slipped past me in the 90s. Very enjoyable listen overall. Melancholy and breezy vocals throughout
Well this got samesy awful quick, didn't it? Also, and I've said this before but it bears repeating, fuck Eric Clapton....
Beautiful and dreamlike through out. Loved it.
90s chill brit pop...really enjoyed this one
Whooo boy what an excellent surprise here....everyone loves smoke on the water but I had no idea how influential to the later metal scene these guys clearly were. Great stuff.
Is it 80s over produced hair band butt rock? Yes. Do I love it? Also, yes. So many absolute bangers and brings me back to simpler times.
4.5
10/5 and somehow more timely now than when it was released...
