Definitely don't need to convince me to listen to a Hot Chip album. That said, the only song I recognized was "Flutes," which incidentally is one of my favorites. Upbeat with a few quirky detours, the only detraction is the amount of singing. More Hot, less Chip please.
This album really grew on me - a sprawling, hour long journey with some solid songs sprinkled among more orchestral fare. Not sure if it's my preferred hip hop style, but I get it.
I can see my mom dusting the living room to this album on full blast. This album is a total product of its time and worthy of all the late-80s, early-90s praise. That said... hard to imagine going back to it. Keep on dusting, Mom.
A relentless, metal-adjacent album with the occasional melodic respite. This very much reminded me of my Tool and RATM phase. I probably would have enjoyed the album in mid-90s.
I've never actually listened to this album despite the amount of Van Morrison my parents would play growing up. I respect the concept of it -- it's honestly like one long, jazzy drug trip song -- and can see why it's on the list. That said, the scatting and doo-doo-doo's make me cringe a little.
I found myself liking this album more and more as it progressed. It wasn't anything like my memory of Deerhunter, which I always associated with noise-pop. I'm already interested in giving this a second listen.
The freaking Cure, man. Hit me at the right time.
I tried but could just not get into this one. Might've just been the wrong day.
Non-singles were surprisingly catchy
I mean, do people really hate the f*cking Eagles? This is an iconic album that sold like a zillion copies and sneaks in a few slick riffs in between the soft rock. You can't hate that.
Never listened to a Byrds album, let alone their controversial foray into country. I think there's better country out there, but this wasn't bad.
Bizarre and occasionally super interesting. Definitely influenced some '90s musicians.
This was a weird one. Kind of felt like music that plays at the end of a Nordic murder mystery episode.
So goddamn good
