Listened on: 2024/05/09 Track List: 1. I'd Like to Know 2. Caught by the Fuzz 3. Mansize Rooster *? 4. Alright * 5. Lose It *? 6. Lenny 7. Strange Ones *? 8. Sitting Up Straight * 9. She's So Loose * 10. We're Not Supposed To 11. Time * 12. Sofa (of My Lethargy) * 13. Time to Go * -- The first half of the LP was confusing for me. There were a lot of songs (*?) that I didn't know whether I liked them or not. The vocals were a hit-or-miss depending on the song and the lyrics generally didn't impact me. The second half of the LP turned it around though. The lyrics were more impactful and the vocals were more appealing to me. The instrumentals were consistently good throughout the entire LP, which was nice. Not something I'd usually listen to, but glad to have gave it a try!
