I've watched 4 Shrek movies and that's NOT what an ogre battle would sound like smh . Hoping we get a little less Queen and a little more Ween
Yeah I started something I couldn't finish too... this album 🤢 (jk, some good tunes here)
First and last tracks are such heaters
Short and sweet :) really wish they'd let us rarte stuff with half stars because this is a perfect 3.5 album tbh. Few dud tracks but the highs (Patterns, Homeward Bound) are near the S&G peak
Maybe the 5th of 6th best Björk album but still undeniable
-1 star because I'm pretty sure by "It" he means s*x
... ok fine
Pleasant! Singer not quite as dynamic as an Albarn or a Gallagher but some groovy instrumentals here. Love the Brit-hop / trip-pop vibe on Loose Fit (pinkie swear this was in here before others mentioned it lol) and the kooky horns on Bob's Yer Uncle
Now Lang I can get into
Not as good as the banana album or Loaded but still nice
Imagining starting an album by inventing rap (joke tbc) and ending it with It's Alright Ma > Baby Blue and it's still not even the best album you release that year... 60s Dylan had that dawg in him
The softer tracks are kinda forgettable but boy when this hits it really hits
Neither psychedelic nor furry
Duh
Had already listened to this today before I saw this :) forgot how good Marshmallow World is too in addition to the hits
Ťŕäŋṣ. Ä–ÅřøpÉ™. Ëxpŕéşš.
Not for me, and that's ok
Everyone likes to pretend the 80s sounded like Blood Orange or Nation of Language or something but it actually sounded like this
All due respect or whatever but if *this one* made it just how many Bowie albums are on this list lol
Pretty good way to start a new year
Had never listened to Spider-Man before but can definitely hear this influence in just a bunch of newer 'weird rock' bands. Very cool, and good
16 tracks had me worried but this was a pleasant, breezy listen! Lot of this sounds like the sort of thing that would play in a Mexican restaurant (complimentary), but dug the weirder cuts best (Bongo Bong, Welcome to Tijuana, etc.)
One of the first albums I ever heard because a friend was discussing and not because of radio or my parents. Never really need to hear WWH again but they're an eternal fave sorry
Lot of experimental stuff on here that I (a) wasn't really expecting and (b) doesn't really work but boy wow America is one of the best songs ever written huh
Father John Misty think he Scott Walker. Scott Walker think he Jacques Brel. Jacques Brel think he the Hamburglar.
Fully forgot I was listening to music as I worked. Liked the first track nest but doubt I'll revisit
Not for me. And that's ok!
Some stuff hasn't aged well but a lot has! Will leave it to those smarter than me to unpack any Big Thoughts about it
Let's fucking gooo
I don't think I have the ska in me... maybe if I'd started with just The Specials instead of immediately going for More
Just what I needed after driving through nasty winter weather... happy Friday everyone
U get 2 stars
Probably hadn't listened to this in full since my Dan phase in college but still remembered every song vividly. Bodhisattva is a monster live too
Really interesting mix of tempos and moods that probably wouldn't work as well for a less gifted singer
Y'all really weren't kidding about Awaken My Love biting their sound
Enjoyed this more than I expected to honestly
Disco II Disco is either the best or most annoying song I've ever heard and I think it's closer to the former
One very very good single (Pick Up Your Feelings) does not a great album make... nice to know the list has releases this current I guess
Probably the best solo Wu Tang album
Had always heard they were a singles band and listened accordingly but wow this is just top tier funk and would throughout
All over the place (complimentary)
Cool hat, already forgot what this sounds like though unfortunately
Mixed bag but the highs are pretty high. Track 2 sounds like emotional haircut toward the end
Much longer than advertised
Need a sixth star
Knew the first three songs ripped, nice to confirm the rest of it dies too!
