Shirley Manson is a fucking icon. Album has some filler. Getting portishead vibes which I never got before. Lots of down tempo, soft vocals and drum machine.

Quirky, weird but in a good way. My kind of weird.

Hate it

Musical, lyrical, moody, sparse, beautiful Precursor to ‘Our Endless Numbered Days,’ ‘Veneer,‘ from a different generation Huge departure from the folk music luminaries of the time, I prefer it to Donovan, or Dylan, or Kristofferson

Instant classic. Best rapper alive. No cap. Highlights for me are Kendrick using multiple voices on the same track ala ‘Gimme The Loot.’ Overall great beats, skits that aren’t cringy, awesome hooks, and a depth that Kendrick brings together with amazing rhymes and storytelling. ‘Aw man, goddamn, all hell broke loose You killed my cousin back in '94, fuck yo' truce Now crawl your head in that noose You wind up dead on the news Ain't no peace treaty, just piecin' BGs up to pre-approve’

What the fuck

Guy built his entire image around psychotically abusing and murdering his ex wife. Not For Me™️

The envelope filter guitar+synth+bass combo is often replicated never duplicated and one of the best sounds of all time.

Not For Me™️ The steely dan biography was actually written about mothers of invention

Went to school in Kent when they were making it big with ‘your touch.’ Never thought they’d be this big. Wildest part is they released this and El Camino so close together and both albums had so many bangers. El Camino is better though.

Not For Me™️

Just ok.

Extremely dense album filled with radio-ready singles. Absurdly dense. Moving in Stereo is the best song and if all the songs were that good it’d be 5/5.
