Fisherman's Blues
The WaterboysBeautiful folk. I like the violins. Kurt Wallinger was the keyboardist on the album but he left the band to do more important things, mainly making the Lin’s Bin theme song.

This shreds. I sleep on the blues until I come across great albums like this
Prog rock makes for good listening. Not my fave though
Tbh not a huge fan of this one. Little too much murderin for my tastes.
Hell yea!!!!! Absolute beauty from the 70s. Sublime dance music for us all!
East coast rap goes hard. Great, driving, pounding beats.
Wow this is really great! Sort of chill lofi music to study to, but way better.
This is a good album. Radio Free Europe and Sitting Still are my favorite songs. Michael Stipe sometimes uses his ability to sing catchy nonsense, which somehow resonates with us.
I’ve got more flavor than 7-11 slurpees If Magic can admit he got AIDS, fuck it I got herpes
Total rock— I’m not very good at these reviews
Dad music, rad music. The organ sounds like a moog and is brilliant.
Not very good— some of the beats are actually terrible. The beat in the title track, at the end, is used in an Edward the Confessor song from Sleeping Dogs. That later song is much better. A lot of it sounds like Ratchet and Clank background music.
This was some good country— something I could hear on Mojave Radio
Not a fan — too dissonant. The ending couple of songs are pretty good though
I loved this when I was younger. I still do but I used to too
I was surprised by how fantastic this album is. The tv show Psych, with frequent 80s “homage,” gave Tears for Fears special place in their 80s pantheon. I thought that whatever band held that spot would be kitschy and overblown. But I was wrong! Shout and Everybody Wants… are both deserved hits. The Working Hour is my favorite song on the record. Big fan!
I think she was an Avril Lavigne type, but she’s really that Alicia Kets type. Not bad.
Great pop record. Some all-time tracks that are always popular at weddings and parties. We can ride the boogie!
Sooo long and not energizing or inspiring. A lot of it was ambient dance track sounding things. Like Moby
Not bad— kinda forgettable songs that fill up this long album though. A few of them are xrt standbys though which is a plus
Very fun. A bit front-loaded though. Huge hits that are widely beloved, but some pretty meh songs on the back end
Psychedelic folk. The folk half is meh and the psychedlic half is rough listening.
Great lyricism, beautiful twangy voice. 🎶 There’s a hole in Daddy’s arm, where all the money goes
I didn’t expect the album name to be a literal description. I won’t rate it highly because I do not like the lyrics (I’m sure you all know by now that I am staunchly against murder). But the music is kinda fun. And nick cave’s voice is really compelling.
Some fun songs, some xrt classics, but overall I’m not very excited by this record.
Great album - van’s the man! Caravan is a lot tamer in studio, but there’s still a fantastic six song stretch from the And It Stoned Me to Into the Mystic.
Really fun
Great album— tightly written and composed songs. Lyrics that can really be spit out
Really great— who’s the better Wilson?
I got tired of it as the album went on. I do like some songs, but it all blends together
Short but exhilarating. Songs are pretty good but the scene is incredible. “I’d like to thank the warden and the guards for setting this up” (Crowd boos and jeers) “Awwww… you don’t really mean that”
Blue Lines and Be Thankful are Great. The rest is pretty meh. Fiddler on the Roof “sample” sparks joy though.
A great classic and an okay one are on here. But I can’t stomach the idea of listening to this as a full album again.
Brilliantly fun— an exhilarating first listen and a groovy second
I’m honestly not that into this, and I once saw a RZA concert and it was sick
Pretty boring. It’s crazy how popular these songs were. I guess it was just the hippie resurgence of the nineties
Idk kinda bland but not bad
Bad, but not as bad as stagger Lee so it gets two stars
Beautiful folk. I like the violins. Kurt Wallinger was the keyboardist on the album but he left the band to do more important things, mainly making the Lin’s Bin theme song.
Not bad, not really my style
I don’t like it. This could lull me to sleep I spose
Sometimes it’s sick, especially imagining listening in a crowded dark basement. Sometimes it’s dull
I really liked the songs. Music accompaniment for the movie scene where the hero looks at VHS tapes of the family he’s lost
I think Monica is a great song. Animal Farm is good too, tempo and instrumentation, but the lyrics are kinda dumb. The rest I don’t enjoy too much. A lot of the songs are subdued and a bit boring. I also don’t think the theme, the modernization of England, was expertly developed. It all just seems a bit hammy and silly. Do we really need two songs to explore the deeper meaning of photographs?
I get the hype, great album. Very influential to the bands that would be featured on the OC it seems. Much better than those later bands though
This is fun, but not nearly as fun as the pharcyde. The bears are subdued, instead of exuberant.
I agree with Dylan, some pretty good songs on the first listen that deserve a relisten, but overall it doesn’t seem like a great album
The names are so bad it’s crazy. Surrealistic Pillow? Embryonic Journey? Easy on the acid fellas. Music ain’t that bad though. Some of it is 60s schlock, but the blues tracks are fun. My dad said he liked White Rabbit when he was younger, not a huge fan myself
Love it! So fun
Loved this album on my Walkman, but I haven’t listened to it since those childhood days. I really like it! Did anyone else notice the crystal clarity of the tambourine in the Spotify audio?
Surprisingly eclectic, the West Side Story song was a joy
The stuttering madness of the singing is a big turn off. Some songs are worth a relisten
You know what Johnny? I do mind the bollocks and I think we all would feel a lot more comfortable if you put some pants on
I just didn’t groove with a lot of the backend songs. I love some Stevie songs, but these can be dull. Some deserve a relisten, like It Ain’t No Use
It’s alright. Some modern rock classics and some tracks I will never listen to again
I did not care much for this album. I am running out of novel things to say, so I can’t really say anything but that her voice is offputting
Vanilla pudding, not much else to say really
This was really cool and moody. Definitely a consistent album, but there aren’t any standouts.
This is good. Can be really head smashing at times. I honestly don’t think there’s that many great songs on here, but it does deserve a 4
This is tough, Bloody Well Right is such a jam. And, beginning with Rudy, the end is great. Fuck it, gets a 4
