At the end of every Leonard Cohen song, say βin bed.β Hilarious.
A hell of a step away from punk, as lame as that sounds.
The soundtrack of the βjerk-offβ hand motion
Some great tunes, but Lars is the most timid metal drummer of all time.
Not as good as Thriller, but pretty damn close?

βI shot my mouth off and he showed me what that hole was for.β
The warble wears me out.
Iβm sure this choice has nothing to do with Rex Harrison.
Nerds
Women, amirite?
Eat shit, Nixon!
Albino excellence
Best album opener ever?
Look, Ray is an indisputable genius, but his skill is best displayed when he plays bluesy fuck jamz for sweaty teens.
Fun fun fun on the man machine
Brains 7 Heart 7 Cock 7
He has better albums, but heβs still Bob Dylan with writers block and a head cold.
Itβs great! Itβs good. Itβs OK
Disgusting prog folk. Sick. Gross.
Ray expands the great American songbook, and rightly so, but these arrangements donβt always do the songs justice.

Love this stuff. Not even ginger baker can ruin it.
Good for them
A hit in the UK! Mid Americana in the US.
That rhythm section tho
Speakerboxxx wins again.
The songs get better as the production improves.

They actually get better
Never has a great voice done so little
Nice to learn about Eisler, but seriously what the fuck is this?
Some of the biggest dicks in pop music, trying to be as limp as possible.

My horse won
The soundtrack to white privilege
Welcome to the revolution
It's the reason for the season

Glyn Johns also thought these guys were pussies

A goddamm masterpiece. 7-7-7.
This is good shit
An incredible band and one incredible song. And some other stuff.
Aside from Lydon's voice, this shit is clean and tight
It's nice to have some of these old-timers on record, but this shit drags and is a c-hair from being an exercise in cringe pandering.
The drum tone on Fantail is glorious. 5-Star album cover
Never heard it before. It's OK
So many Smiths. No Segers. Ugh.
I get the importance, and Ianβs voice gets better throughout, but Iβm not coming back to this one
Blood harmonies
Just the sort of derivative drivel I expect from a Mancunian.

Best album ever. Day in the life is the best song ever.
Itβs fine
Your mom is gonna cum

A better album than expected from what I assumed was a singles band.
Some cool quick hitters.
I'm learning to appreciate shoegaze!
Another critical darling I've never given a chance. This one pays off.
I can see why this was influential, but it leans too heavily theatrical.
Love how it fucks with my head

Peter Cetera used to be cool
Vampire fuck jamz
A fine ragga album
Hockey arena organ player on acid
Like LCD Soundsystem with more Lou Reed
