Pretty funky and groovy, I guess. Superstition is the stand out track, but overall I don't know if this genre/style is my cup of tea so outside of one or two songs there's no point in repeated listens.

Jethro Tull
Yeesh. I can see why people either love or hate progressive rock. It's long and boring and over the top. To be honest, apart from the title song I had never in my life heard any other Jethro Tull work until I listened to this album, while high of course. The flute is distracting. Instead of summoning Hobbits I felt like I wanted to join the Nazgûl and burn the Shire to the ground.
On the plus side, Jethro Tull walked ... so that Spinal Tap, especially "Stonehenge" could run.

Like it, not love it. I think I was a little too old, too Gen X, when this album came out to fully appreciate it. All the bangers we know and love - "Mr Brightside", "All These Things I've Done" - interspersed with much forgettable filler. Throw a couple of these songs into a Spotify playlist and enjoy once in a while, but the album as a whole? Not so much.

Pretty good for a disco album. I recognize some of the songs remixed in more modern pop songs e.g. he's the greatest dancer in Will Smith's "gettin jiggy with it", plus the influence on Daft Punk is unmistakeable. An album to get up and boogie to, not to listen while lounging in your favorite chair.

Rush
You know that guy from your shitty home town? The one who everyone thought was cool because he banged chicks, knew where to get the best weed, an always bought beer for the kids? The one who grew up to amount to nothing? The guy who stills lives in the shitty home town, drinks copiously and complains about how today's music sucks? That same guy who's now 54 years old - and while everyone else grew up, started careers, made families, travelled, helped build society - he's on the dole, on his 20th girlfriend in as many years, probably has kids he never sees nor pays for?
Rush is his favorite band and this is his favorite album. Zero stars out of five if possible.

I'm glad 1001 albums recommended this, otherwise this would have never been on my radar. Never heard of this band or album until now but it is great. Experimental noise rock, driving beats, some catchy songs in there. Refreshing after having to hear so much Boomer crap. You can only take so much Eagles, Bad Company, Aerosmith tripe. "They Were Wrong, So we Drowned" is a fucking fresh breath of air.
