Triangle

I had never heard of the band so didn’t know what to expect. Didn’t care for the first half of the album as it sounded like folksy Bob Dylan. Thought the latter part of the album was better, more psychedelic, and the songs more textured.

Jack should stick with playing guitar rather than tinkering around with marimba, tambourine, and maracas. But I guess it’s hard to jam out with the guitar when you are singing about doorbells.

4. I’m rushing you like a defensive end as I recommend
3. Have enough brain cells so I can stay paid well
2. Chic and unique with lots of kicks like a cleat
1. MCs like me will rise like the Enterprise
