Guys. This one is a 2 or a 2.5. It sounds great- thereβs nothing objectionable really on itβ it combines a bunch of interesting soundsβ- but - those alone do not equal greatness. Itβs just fine. I expect more from the albums on this list.in a vacuum - if I was in a better mood MAYBE Iβd give it three- but for this exercise - itβs a big 2. My least fav thus far.
Thereβs clearly a lot of talent/technical work on here- but- it feels lifeless. Just like someone who likes massive attack and various hindustani music melded them seamlessly without thinking as far as why they were doing it.

I want to give this a 2 for the site- because I find it hard to argue itβs essential in any wayβ but itβs a low three and a half in my book. Better than decent Brit pop.

This is a sky high three point five. Some great tunes- but itβs too long for its own good. And the good stuff comes later in the sequencing. Not 1001 essential.
