Good album. Hadn’t really listened to much other than Hallelujah before. Highlights were Last Goodbye, Lover, and Forget Her. I’m going to go with three stars, but this is the first album I’m ranking. Might be a four.
Meh. I have a feeling the 80s are going to generally fall this way. Don’t like the synth. No passion. Two highlights were Drip Dead Legs and House of Pain. I bet this would come of better live.
Nice surprise for album #2. I can see this getting some serious rotation as some chill but rocking background. Highlights are Rolling > Dazed, Hero, and Solid Ground.
I mean…classic. What a debut album. Not sure what else to say. Been listening to this since I was like 14.
Not really my cup of tea. Ok for some background music, but not something I’d listen too again
I would say saved by a few CLASSIC songs: Baba O’Riley and Won’t Get Fooled Again. I listened to the deluxe version on Amazon and found I enjoyed the New York session material better. More raw and loose.Those sessions made the produced material better.
It’s good. Perhaps good background music. Just not something I’m going to come back to much. Highlights were Sunday Shining, Even After All, and Your Love Gets Sweeter. Added that last one to my favorites, at least.
I enjoyed this. Never really listened to him much and didn’t expect this. I was thinking it was all the upbeat stuff. Pleasant surprise. Would I come back? Not sure. I’ll stretch at three.
As a purported Neil Young fan, I have slept on this album. Shame on me. Lots of top notch stuff. Even picked up the guitar to learn Albequerque and Borrowed Tune.
Bowie has never really done it for me, and I don’t think this is close to his best work. Most of it is meh. Highlight, if I had to stretch would be heroes, obviously.
Listened to this in Puerto Rico. Just saw modest mose Friday. So much influence here. Really enjoyed the album. Debased catchy I bleed. Like the guitar riff Hear Comes Your Man - only one I recognize so far, probably a good reason, catchy. Mr Grieves - surprising, great There goes my gun - might have heard this too. Like the melody. Hey - nice little tunes
Timeless Also listen to this in Puerto Rico. Very enjoyable. Highlights: Half as Much Worries Mind You Win Again - such a classic I can’t stop loving you
Ok with hints of the greatness of Doolittle Bone Machine- great album starter Something against you - a little too rough and punky for me these days. Where is my mind - the melodic stuff that comes to mind when I think of pixies Nothing much else stood out to me.
Underground - most popular song on the album? Not impressed so far. Shore leave - now this I can dig Halfway point and I just want it to be over. Tom was always someone I thought I’d want to check out. Hopefully his other stuff is better. Just not my thing. I guess we see how the second half goes…. Ok, maybe swordfishtrombone? Meh
Classic and brings up memories of high school Sunday Morning - one of my all time VU songs Waiting for my man - classic Femme fatale - Nico’s voice is just beautiful Venus in Furs - shiny boots of leather!!! Run run run - never one of my favorites All Tomorrows parties - another VU fave Heroin - such a ride, every time There she goes - mostly forgettable IMO Trails off after this…
Another Puerto Rico listen. I really enjoyed this. So Young, not sold off the bat but that piano part was intriguing. Animal Nigrate - solid She’s not dead - solid acoustic Moving - the swirly parts are nice The Drowners - great opening riff, great tune Sleeping pills - pumpkins / queen Next life - another quiet gem Where the pigs don’t fly - nice what-you-might-expect-but-still-good album ender
Puerto Rico listen. It was fine. Had it on in the background while reading. It was just there but nothing really caught my ear.
