Popular Reviews

Give me Robert Dimery's address. I JUST WANT TO TALK

WHAT DO YOU PEOPLE WANT?! Another platter from the Neil Young Extended Universe™? An eighth U effing 2 album? Quit your bitching and eat your Throbbing Gristle.

"Well you can't dig me you can't dig nothin' Do you want the real thing, or are you just talkin'?" "Yeah it's just what you need when you're down in the dumps One half hillbilly and one half punk" "Now do you understand? Do you understand? Do you understand? All right, hop off"

"What if The Fun Loving Criminals were on quaaludes?"

Are these guys ok?

Big "TEMU Scott Walker" x "We've got Pulp at home* energy here. Lyrically, this belongs on a list, just not this one...

Give me Robert Dimery's address. I JUST WANT TO TALK

The seventh guy on this album cover is Duke Bootee. You know him. You've always known him. “It’s like a jungle sometimes, it makes me wonder how I keep from going under” And the bars “The bill collectors, they ring my phone And scare my wife when I’m not home Got a bum education, double-digit inflation Can’t take the train to the job, there’s a strike at the station.” Give this man his flowers Rest In Power Edward Fletcher

The reviewer who called this *Duran Duran on valium" Nailed it. Unrelentingly dull. Zero sauce. Bloody hell, how was this worse than The Doves..? And it's still going. How is it still going? Make it stoppppppp!

Is this what depression feels like?

Mole Hole. Soul. What in the nursery rhyme, infant lullaby bullshit were those lyrics?! Is Bono the World's Oldest Toddler? Worst album. I no longer fear the next Coldplay cut.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Rest In Power Dimebag⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ And fuck that other guy! Calvin Coolidge, whoever the fuck

Hollow, bloodless noodling. -1 star for using child serial killer imagery to be "cool" Apologise to Nardwuar you monsters. Not even Chuck D could save this poo

Nah. Listen to Kanda Bongo Man instead!

"This is nice cup of espresso" THIS IS DECAFF, YOU BASTARDS!

GRADE A STINKER.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Listen to meeee" What if the worst boomer you ever met was a Theatre Kid™ 🤮🤮🤮

THIS ALBUM MAKES ME FEEL LIKE I'M BEING HUNTED FOR SPORT

NEIGH.

Lock this abuser up!

On paper this is a tough sell for me: ❌not a grunge fan ❌don't enjoy the Pixie's music ❌double album. Leave people wanting more! ✔️best album cover But this album zipped through, and held my attention much more that I expected it to. Not in love with it, but it was more varied in style than I had anticipated. Also, I find it hilarious that this album with *this* cover was released a month after Hole's Live Through This, given their history. What a weird coincidence

A 77-minute incantation to summon punk rock.

Temu Lynyrd Skynyrd

Loved this. I'd normally dock a star for being too damn long, but honestly - aside from the cover of Imagine - I don't know which songs wouldn't make the cut.

"Get your hockey bag out of my face, Sebastian".

"What do we want?" "QUALITY" "What do we get?" "QUANTITY!" Imagine being so in love with the smell of your own farts that a dumb joke becomes a 2h 45m behemoth. There's a 4 star record somewhere in here, you daft bastards.

THIS IS WHY I'M HERE! Let's crowdfund a time machine

😭😭😭 TEMU Coldplay 😭😭😭 I've farted more interesting noises.

"Tyler claimed their relationship was consensual and that he had immunity because he was her legal guardian at the time" 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

Oh, it's the guy from the Jeffrey Lewis song! "And you might say now there's a guy who seems to have their world laid out before him Or you might say, he's just a rich kid or a fascist or a charlatan But either way you say it if you look at indie-rock culture you really can't ignore him And even if at first dismissive, after some listens you'll enjoy him" I hope Jeff makes this list.

As a boy, this man started his career with an emotional support broom. He graduated to a ukulele with one string. AND THIS IS HIS DEBUT 😭😭😭

🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

After signing to a major label, Hersh quickly realized she wasn’t interested in entertaining the greed of the corporate recording industry, so she traded her first solo album, the widely acclaimed ‘Hips and Makers,’ for her band’s freedom. ‘I felt morally obligated to no longer participate in an industry without substance. We need real women, we need real music,’ says Hersh 🤩QUEEN🤩

"What if The Fun Loving Criminals were on quaaludes?"

WHAT DO YOU PEOPLE WANT?! Another platter from the Neil Young Extended Universe™? An eighth U effing 2 album? Quit your bitching and eat your Throbbing Gristle.

The Shamen will always hold a special place in my heart. As a twelve year old watching the Daily Mail class getting foamed up over Ebeneezer Goode was Very Funny™ Alas there's not enough chemicals in the world to get me to enjoy this album : (

😍😍😍😍😍😍

Watching All The Usual Suspects™ getting foamed up over her SNL appearance was a formative memory of my youth. "Remember what I told you. If they hated me they will hate you" RIP Sinead, you were more punk rock than any punk rocker.

Give. Me. Robert. Dimery's. Address. I JUST WANT TO TALK.

This album made me want to vote to impose economic sanctions on my own country.

Cloying, sentimental drivel.

"It's been eight hundred and seventy days, father, Will there be some TOOL soon? A little Blue Album to stave off the chills? Father, please tell me there's a modicum of Neutral Milk coming down the pike to quell my hunger" Robert Dimery (for it is he): "Dah-Nah-Nah, Dah-Nah-Nah, Dah-Dah-Daa"

"Relaxing", "boring"??! This album makes me feel like I'm being hunted for sport. Genuinely upset.

BNP fan boy. ugh.

"She said you're just like Mike Love but you wanna be Brian Wilson, Brian Wilson Said you're just like Mike Love but you'll never be Brian Wilson"

"Giraffes are insincere And the elephants are kindly, but they're dumb" Fuck you, Simon and/or Garfunkel. This was going to be a five.

"Four more years..."

"Mr. President, a second Everything But The Girl album has been included" 😭😭😭

Peak "we've got Public Enemy at home" energy. Please dispose of ♻️responsibly♻️

Cafe Bleugh

Not sure which version I'm supposed to be reviewing. The original E.P (1988, six tracks) gets 3/5 from me. The 1990 re-release (12 tracks) is a solid 4/5. However, the Spotify link leads to the 32-track Deluxe Edition? I ain't about that life, dawg. I'm gonna pretend this submission is "Superfuzz Bigmuff Plus Early Singles (1990)" because "Touch me I'm sick" slappps.

Nine-hundred and fifty-eight albums into this project. This is 🎯easily🎯 the worst If this is "sexy music" hand me a wimple and sign me up to the nearest nunnery.

Not giving him the royalties. Turd.

It's mind-blowing to me how underrated these guys are 💐💐💐💐💐💐

Four extra mozzarella sticks out of five

Dear Reader, you've stumbled upon a side quest! A misheard translation led to this band's name: Thee Michelle Gun Elephant - Casanova Snake https://open.spotify.com/album/1nvyWgfAIjEMX4nzXUbo77 Reward: Gear Blues is pretty awesome, too!

A covers band that thinks they're too good to cover the original tracks.

I wish I was a cop. Specifically, the cop that pulled this cultural shitstain over for drunk driving, and genuinely didn't know who he was when he pulled his "I''m JusTiN tiMberLakE" crap. Truly blessed.

No Blue Album. No Neutral Milk Hotel. No TOOL. This. Robert needs an intervention.

"Black radio shame, pop rap’s to blame, Program your playlist to sound the same, With a disco tempo, cliche intro, Wack rap tracks for commercial shows, Mindless music for the masses has to take, Time away from the real rap master, So I’ll stay cool for community airplay, While ratings slip for the sh** that you play” - This Is A Test (from The Devil Made Me Do It - Paris, also released in 1990)

34,792 monthly listeners... 22,236 reviews from us...

Like chugging a litre of beige paint. Just off the top of my dome, this was released the same year as Emmylou Harris' Cowgirl's Prayer, and the Breeders Last Splash if you, dear reader, need a palate cleanser, or two 🍻

I wish I could say those lyrics have aged like milk, alas I'm typing this in the age of the 🤮manosphere🤮 Please read this, dear stranger: https://dn790007.ca.archive.org/0/items/LundyWhyDoesHeDoThat/Lundy_Why-does-he-do-that.pdf

The King of the Bongo Bong is French. A tender cow saved the life of The King of the Bongo Bong. What a glorious fever dream this album is.
