Kraftwerk
3/5
A third (and final album) by Kraftwerk, I think getting them so close together is clouding my judgement but they all blend together, and nothing stands out about this one.

I felt this album was a pretty 'meh' experience. I get how it 'totally changed the face of drum and bass' but sounds pretty dated now. Also as a 2 hour album it massively drags.

I don't get why this album is so polarizing. It's incredibly "of it's time" and incredibly average. It it the worst album of all time? No. Has it changed forever the way I think about 80's British pop music? Also no.

This is why I do this. Finding a great album that I have overlooked for so long.
Well put together music, of a kind of minimal style, it works so well.

Here's MBDTF making the case for separating art from the artist.
The production is great, the guest spots are great, Kanye West's lyrics are not so great... But you can see how it was such a big deal at the time.

So after "Logical Progression" had been sitting on my unrated backlog for over a year. I spent some time in my current pause to hunt down this album, as it's not currently on spotify or youtube in full. Was it worth it? Could I identify a track that was on the original release versus whatever "Logical Progression Level 1" is? No...
But after listening to over 140 minutes of Jungle is it bad? Also no... It's probably one of the more listenable D'n'B albums on the list.
Accept it for what it is, after a while the stockholm syndrome will kick in, and it will be over before you notice. One day you'll be able to impress people at parties with your overly detailed opinions about the mid-90's British dance scene.

I feel like this album is a big joke that nobody is getting. Sure it's not particularly funny, but it has it's moments both good and bad (not one but two songs about how your girlfriend would be happier as a dog).
I guess the point it's trying to satirize is that heaps of love songs are creepy and stalkerish. Reading the review in the book, seems like it's gone over most peoples heads.

The production and scratching on this are phenomenal. The lyrics are a total dumpster fire.
In principle, I'm not opposed to the whole alien body-horror theme, but the nonsense lyrics don't really carry it.

I hated this when it came out. Now that is probably because I was a snotty teenager on the other side of the rock vs. dance separation that existed throughout the 90s.
A quarter of a century later I can appreciate it more, but it's still overly repetitive. It will probably be a long time before I listen again.

It's about as bad as people say. It's basically music for being angry. Not a righteous anger about the injustice in the world. More of a selfish anger that you didn't get the easy life you were promised as a white middle-class American boy...
The Darkness
5/5
There was a time in the early 2000s where every album review was about finding the "saviour of rock." Listening to this, you know you'd be able to find a review of Permission to Land saying that exactly about The Darkness. Listening to the album was a lot of fun and only has a few moments where it doesn't still stand up today (jokes about being a junky don't land so hard _after_ you've quit the band and been to rehab).
Sure with 2025 hindsight we know that ultimately The Darkness weren't going to save rock and roll, but you can see why people thought they might...
