I thought I would be more excited to hear this as it's been a while since I've listened to the whole album. But I still really don't like their funk music. Half of me feels like I should just listen to Parliament if I want to listen to funk. The other half of me can't stop thinking about what a douchebag Anthony Kiedis probably is.
But I'm still going to give it three stars because I love the song "breaking the girl" and I really love the song "I could have lied"

I pretty much hate The Smiths except for one song... Which I grew to like because it was on a mixtape. Listening to all these songs in a row? Ugh. But in search of increased neuroplasticity I powered through.
I have learned more about why I hate them. The music is okay, but mixed with no oomph. And then the vocals loudly drown out the music anyway. Oh the vocals. How I hate them. Horrible melodies. Annoying style. Punchable face.

Liked the energy and attitude. But the messy live version of (mostly) songs I've never heard was a challenge. I'm curious what studio recordings might sound like.

The lyrics are so repetitive that listening to a song once is like listening to it 10 times. So at this point I'm pretty sick of most the songs on this album. But also it f'n rocks and when it works it works really well.

This listens like AI tried to make a 90s album. No riffs, just simple chord progressions. Singing is intentionally off key. Guitars are super distorted. But the songs could just as easily be reproduced as Britney Spears songs.
So in one way, you know me well AI. I'm here for this. Just most of the songs aren't very good. A couple interesting gems at the end though.
