Memories of nineth grade at pinellas Park highschool flooding back. So many of these songs were played during clandestine bad youth smoking meetings on the handball court! Flea is neat.
Well now I have to dig out the LP! YouTube is only so good. This really is the future. I’m a Numanoid synth fan and the songs metal, control and film are bangers. I’m still praying to the aliens. I suppose I got a deep love of electronic music, I guess it’s just modern nostalgia for the future.
I wasn’t familiar with X at all other than the hits on various punk compilations. I was under the impression it only had a girl singer, image my surprise. I liked it a lot, when our love passed out on the couch was my favorite.
Redundant but classic moody dark Cure with some good beats.
Formulaic punk redundancy with some pop kicks but I think every song is still good even if only two songs are different. Classic album.
Neat stuff classic 70’s jams
Classic ska! The beats Can’t be beat. Pick it up pick it up go!
Hip swiven’ body wiggling panty dropping classic Elvis.
I saw TV on the radio in 2004 and shortly after there 2006 album they fell off my radar. I still enjoyed the vocals but I felt this album was like one long run on song.
Corny Country with some mild counter culture flair. Not too groovy or rockin to me.
Lump me in with the psych suckers who truly enjoy this brand of jam. My cuppa tea! Not into his other stuff but I truly do love a couple songs on this record.
I have been effin’ my ear holes with this record for the past 30 years! My dad turned me on to this in my teens and it only gets better with age. Glam jams from a true rock god!
Like the title of the album says they really kick out the jams… and they go down the road …and into the gutter. It’s got some redeeming value and some good guitar work but it’s probably the reason I’m not a fan of live albums. Kinda messy and not in a good way.
Pure counter culture poetry set to some strange guitar riffs. I like the guitar on a couple songs but feel the album is slow & probably pretentious folk. I’m not sure if it’s 'deeper' than it actually is, or just pointless sorta meaningless drivel, conceptually or otherwise.
Guitar hooks for days! One of my absolute favorite Fall albums. At least 5 songs on the album get stuck in my head every time I listen to it. I’m definitely a fan.
Oh man I’m a really big FAN! It’s no Here Come the Warm Jets, Taking Tiger MTN or Before or after Science but it’s really super fantastic regardless IMHO! 11/10 all day ENO ILU
Well… I guess it’s half good. He sings like a girl on one. He plays these songs faster live. My husband is a big fan and had to break out the box set. Oh we oh not my fave Prince album tho.
Oh I very much like 5 songs from this album but the others are not bops of my taste. More importantly what’s up with the official reimagined videos for this album. No offense to the director(s) but what merde. Still a classic album of great importance to my heart.
Some bangers bang and some do not!
Siouxsie being Siouxsie! Not my fave but it’s tolerable pretty progressive surprisingly popular pop for 78! Hong Kong garden is the saving grace of this album for me.
Decent background music to do homework, make out, or read a book by if you’re a cooler than thou 90’s goth. I remembered one song. I know lots of my friends had this album but it wasn’t for me. I do like This Mortal Coil tho …
classic and absolutely still relevant, loved it in my teens and still listen to this regularly in my 40's
Wasn’t what I expected from ELP but it was fun listening to in the bath!
Sorta folksy soft rock to me. I think shes got a good velvety voice and it makes me think of feminist festival music or outdoor craft show blues fest stuff. I feel like her guitar picking is holding it down with a sweet mellow buttery groove. The song tall in the saddle has some electro funk I like.
I admit I was a real white stripes hater when it came out and my husband rocked the cd driving around skipping to the popular song's … but here we are 24 years later and I remember some of the lyrics. So theres that. I guess it’s not that bad if you like the Beatles or Nirvana or an amalgamation of garage psych blues best of’s.
I like funk, I like jazz, I like noise, I like world music. There’s one good song and the rest is okay but reminds me of a 90’s plastic charm bracelet overloaded with trinkets.
I lived a full life listening to this long album and I don’t actually mind Fripps funky prog rock sound scapes yet for a second I thought it slipped and was listening to ye ole captain beefheart but I am ethically obliged to say it is refreshing 0 taste high maintenance music in symbiosis with pursuing lofty grad goals at stem school but winding up being a catatonic creative marketing consultant for marajuana dispensarys. Just play a synthesizer in your bathroom while setting up your dab rig and you’ll have the same energy. Neat strings and piano on some songs though. You won’t find any sound healing here. I will say gotta I like xylophone intros and smooth sailing sound effects. I think plants would like this album.
Not a single bad song on this album, if you like this sort of stuff and I do. CSNY sure had the harmonies and melodies that defined the peak 70’s folk rock genre. Let’s not forget that pedal steel and other guitar pieces that musta made for one hell of a good show back in the day!
When I first bought this cd I was really confused. I love talking heads, I love Brian Eno & David Byrne how could I not love this collab. I was like nope. Now when I say I love Eno apparently I love 1974-1978 Eno. But now I’m old and like some ambient, occasionally. When I say I love world music this is sorta what I mean. I am glad I gave it another listen because it is pretty neat but I don’t know if it’s going in to my regular rotation.
ab/7a is a great song
Get in and enjoy the ride.
its okay. its got xylophones, saxophones, it's got marching arrangements, there's even a slide whistle and I really like VDP but I'm also a big baby and I like things that make me feel like a toddler learning new jingles but I am not really a beach boys fan I get that they had the chance to be real progressive psych rockers but the corporate machine got them where they wanted them. I guess its really good, I'm talking myself into it.... but good vibrations can suck it , ok I listened to it in its entirety again its better than ok its alright brb I have to go listen to The Smile Sessions (child is the father of the man) idk how is it so different it’s the same song and Pet Sounds now
I know what I like and although it tends to lean more towards Amon dul or can, my partner has been on an early genesis Phil Collins & Peter Gabriel kick the last 10 years so I’m pretty familiar with this album and it’s got one of my fave genesis songs on it. British prog rock perfection.
It’s good but it’s missing something or someone oh yea that’s John Cale. I do love moe tucker singing the last song and I will always love the velvet underground and there meandering melodies. I bet this album is better when you are on the pot, ya know the marajuanas …
A+ classic jams for a reason, they are like the Bruce Springsteen of punk no matter how edgy they portend to be ….its really radio clash innit…. A garage band from garage land
It’s slow n sludgy and not what I was expecting but now I’ll go listen to that one thurston Moore solo album that actually rips
No notes, perfect 80’s dancy new order album. Idk why it gets so much hate, what ….it’s not the best of. We refer to this as the bad new order album but we still listen to it.
I’ll admit that I was not a fan when it came out , it was really agro cock jock rock imo and I was more of a Dead Kennedys fan. But it’s not like that and I was wrong. It rocks and this album is definitely having a resurgence for reasons I am sure are a timely response to a certain political climate that finds the USA divided. Heavy guitars and good lyrics go along way.
ssookay I knew 2 songs from this album, ya know the two. Orange crush is good, I think this might be a good road trip album when you run out of your regular music. I've never heard it in its entirety before, it has a feel to it, not my feel but a 90s nostalgia that makes me think of Delia's catalog dresses and teen smoking.
