User Albums Summary

Shocked this didn’t make the cut on the original list when Frank Black did. Love how noisy this is. Great album. Favorites were Cannonball, Roi, Divine Hammer, and Saints.

I had not heard this one until now. I liked this more than Black Holes and Revelations. Very similar to the heavier songs of Radiohead. Vocals can get a little tiring at times but they are mostly pretty good. Favorites were New Born, Plug In Baby, Citizen Erased, and Futurism.

I liked this in 2023 and I still think it’s pretty good now. I tend to like the more energetic songs more. The lyrics and funny and the vocals are entertaining. The transitions between songs are also very well done. Favorites were Cops And Robbers, Locals, Johnny Johnny Johnny, and Old Money Bitch.

Yeah this album is fantastic. Definitely heavier and slightly less experimental than Larks. The drumming on Starless especially is fantastic. I’ve often heard that one compared to Close To The Edge in terms of great prog rock songs and while I don’t think it quite hits the same euphoric highs it’s still a monster of a song.

This is not the best Beach Boys album and I don’t think anyone can make that claim. This might be my favorite Beach Boys album. It’s so relistenable. It has the great style of Surfs Up without the clunkers that drag that album down. All I Wanna Do is the invention of dream pop.

Now THIS is the Daft Punk album that should be on the list. Nearly perfect dance album. No song here is less than great.

Where else will I find a song about a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand? Solid songs. Favorites were Excitable Boy, Werewolves Of London, Nighttime In The Switching Yard, Tenderness On The Block, and Lawyers, Guns, and Money.
