Jazz fusion. A 1970's cop show score. Long for my tastes and delves into elevator music territory at times (I am ok with that) I can hear the influence on so many musical styles, but ultimately this album is not for me.

This is the album that made me fall in love with Radiohead. (I Guess the World fell too) They moved away from the grunge of their earlier album and moved into Britpop. Some flashes of the themes and sounds of later albums but not quite there. There's a couple songs at the end that kind of drag for me, but this is solid for most of it's runtime.

Today I learned what a bandoneon is. So that's something. Look, this is not for me, so I hate to judge it by my enjoyment. Ready for the next one.

I know of Happy Mondays from the film 24 Hour Party people. Great movie, but just because the film says they re geniuses doesn't make it so. Okay sure I suppose it is a good example of Madchester sound, but I could never get into them. This album is very same sounding throughout and not a fan of the singer (Maybe Shaun?) It's of the moment for sure but the moment has passed.

What a debut!

You know. It's The Beatles. What do you want me to say that hasn't been said by fans, historians, contrarians, and everyone in between? Anyway, I prefer their earlier work here. So there you go.

Awesome industrial album. Thrash, psychobilly, and all.

I definitely hear how this influenced other artists. New wave and New Romantics especially, along with Glam artists as well.

This one is a bit of hodgepodge. We all know "Solsbury Hill" which is great but the rest of it is kind of forgettable. Gabriel went on to better things,

Listening to this album: "Just get to "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" already! Listening to "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida:" Just end already.

Album cover: 4 out of 5. Album: Oof. An album screaming for a musical. One that stays off Broadway. It succeeds at what it wants to do which is to be an overly bombastic "rock n roll" album. I don't want that though.

I know Moby and I know this album was huge (couple of hits, all the commercials and movies, etc.) but this is my first full listen. It's pretty chill throughout and despite it's length I found it to flow by pretty well without me realizing it. I like it.

I didn't think this would be for me. At this point the well-known songs are so well-known as to be a bit exhausted. (Chain of Fools, (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman) But some of the deep cuts had great musicianship and were good to hear.

Great stuff right here. I love the first few tracks with their experimental, unhinged, wild style. Definitely Proto-punk/garage/avant-garde/however you want to describe it. The back half gives a more mainstream garage rock sound, as if the band were either leaning towards more pop-appeal, or were getting "better" with writing and playing, or were pushed in a different direction. It's not as satisfying for me, but it's still pretty solid.

This is good stuff. These songs, though very of their time, can still hit hard. I like how it straddles the line of many different genres (Funk, rock, metal, etc.)
