Delicious lyrics and quirky orchestration!
Tony Iommi's guitar work on this album is incredible. I like how there is some blues fused with this birth of metal. Stellar album with nice arrangements.
This album fits nicely within the Fallout universe for your Pip-boy.
I cannot call this noice and that burns me, like your time if you go through with this.
Ain't nothing to eff with, forever.
What a revelation of someone I never knew, and a terrible loss at such a young age.
You can get stomped by Obie
Glorious Iggy and Bowie collaboration.
Historically iconic with a few good tracks. Ice cube getting things started hits hard, but the later songs wane.
A redeeming quality is that this helped moved fusion forward with other projects.
The trumpets are sensational in this as soloists, and as a section.
Not quite Kid Rock levels but darn near close. Your low budget bargain basement Cure wannabe.
Mix of Spanish, French, and English all guaranteed to make you Manu Move!
I made it to track 4 bless me; i know bad music when i hear it shout out to Hesh. Alongside Kid Rock this is my next 1.
One of the best! No bad tracks!
Country Folk like Dylan, great tunes, lyrics
This or MOP are GOATS of their discog, check earlier albums for confirmation
So many classics on this album bookends with Satie, glorious!
4.5 this reminds me of Kendrick, highly enjoyable!
Nice eclectic mix of styles and languages, but there are better examples of each isolated and focused on in different albums by different artists.
Really a 3.5 more good than less good songs, some real head spinners, and great lyrics - the closer in particular.
Coming in knowing nothing about this band other than the name it's mindblowing, a stadium band in the same hemisphere as Queen? Love it, will listen again when I need the feels good man!
Dream Pop is a new genre for me and I really enjoyed this album, overwhelming at times, but the closer laid me down gently.
Nice blend of R&B and early rap.
Pavement has a sound on this album and they stick with it. Not bad, consistent.
This is peak Joni figuring out her new direction; road trips are you kidding me? And collab with The Band; nothing but to love this one.
This reeks of Germanic classical music influence. It didn't wholly appeal to me but can see how it took the world by blitzkrieg.
Poorly mixed music and background vocals on the first 4 tracks that get better into the middle of the album; maybe the sound they were going for with pop candy hip-hop.
Was told this album defined a generation and I grew up with Grandmaster Flash, NWA, and into gangsta rap, Dre, Snoop, Pac, Biggie, then Em, so this one just didn't take.
I only ever knew that one song; this was a revelation!
Not their greatest, but close!
Some tunes made me think of The Eels, 1989 and 1991 debuts though across the pond from each other. Great bands both.
The dirt poor man's rolling stones.
Good sound but I feel like they have a better album in the bag.
Le Freak we used to cover for a reason; the rest of the album dances around that great tune.
Echoing the sentiments of those pointing out that a gravely voice and endless diatribes and monologues over a decent rhythm section does not a jazz album or facsimile thereof make. This is on the level of Kid Rock which is no level to speak of in decent company.
Great rock and roll that got some good rotation in the peelers.
Please, no more. 2 cause I guess this appeals to some people and it's not outright shiz, just can't stomach it.
This hits hard no punches pulled intense ride.
Are you kidding me? Rush virgin and this is a Gordie Howe hat-trick.
I've only ever seen Common on TV so I was pleasantly surprised to find rich textures in his music!
Brazilian heavy metal was new to me, I enjoy HM in general and world music so this was a nice mix.
I mean c'mon it's the freakin Stones
Magnificent, made me think of Dolly Parton so happy to see that they collaborated and had great respect for each other!
Inoffensive electronic music
Second listen cause I had to be sure; yeah punkish vibes Television but it didn't get over the hump of gloriousnessness.
If I wanted bland pablum i would have gone to the grocery store. Not Kid Rock levels of bad cause you'd at least need a brain to comprehend how awful this tripe is.
Should be 1001 albums sometimes that will speed you towards your death.
This one took me completely by storm; a must repeat listen!
Smooth, mellow, relaxed, effortless mastery.
Hell yeah, this is a great ride!
Steely quickly becoming my favourite.
Sensational lyrics on this one! Heavy subject matter.
What an eclectic mix of genres; happy discovery of the sample from Em's Without Me; Buffalo Gals
Aside from Kim this album is fantastic. MMLP is a more Mature Em which I appreciate more at an older age. Slim Shady is still my favourite!
Not a fan of electronica so this was a nice ride!
New favourite band, small sample size but still. They remind me of We Were Promised Jetpacks who debuted one year later in 2003.
yeah auto 5; Wu-Tang took the world by storm the aftereffects from which will live on in the ether of magnificence.
If everst thou findest thyseft in the pissiest of moods; seek Jahnny Marr forget that Morry fellow.
Wild ride full of great tunes!
Would love to give this a 3.5; I've listened to a lot of hip hop and this was a nice treat.
I haven't heard anything quite like this before!
Not my cup of tea, it sounds like a dirtier version of Michael Jackson with lesser beats. The kids must have loved it at the time.
I don't think a re-listen would change my opinion; better examples of women folk singers from that era, though it's likely a matter of taste.
Please dear lord, even beheaded this music is too much.
If life gives you brain cramps
Heard of this band through an Eminem track; wow, this is dope af!
One of the GOATS of punk rock albums; so happy Iggy is still going strong to this day!
Sublime example of a bygone age!
Not the hugest fan of electronic music but this did feature a song on a mixtape made for me in '94!
Always a pleasure and nice to listen after several decades of not.
If this is one of the albums I have to listen to before I die just kill me already. Enough.
unoffensive; love the term krautrock
discovered goth rock today and discovered it best left to the goth kids in South Park.
Revelation! Love this album, Ryan did Wasted Years on Californication which I knew but not of him. What a beauty, and yes, eff Morrissey.
Missed this whole craze but fun album.
An album they made just for themselves; funny how that works!
Listened to this before as a dive into a previous EC album; loved it just as much 2nd go-round.
This guy I need to explore in depth; nick cave vibes, some elvis, some Leonard Cohen lyrics/mood. Wondering if this is the best, will def. listen again.
This reminds me of Miles' 70s period of shifting patterns and grooves developing organically. I loved it!
First time listener; new convert lover.
Simply the best next to the Ramones.
Hungry like a wolf punk style karaoke.
OK, good lyrics, relaxing
Never was a huge fan, but this is a great album.
Kinda one hit wonders for me; good mix if you like that disco vibe
Yeah, i am going to have to figure out my fav. Zepp at some point.
Nice surprise wanting something mellow for the day!
Frenetic madness with structure; I need to check out more Ornette Coleman apparently!
