Blood Sugar Sex Magik
Red Hot Chili Peppers
6/10
Just way too long. You could take the singles out, or half of any of the non-single songs, and it would be easier to digest. But when it comes down to it, the chili peppers are some of the best musicians in the business and songs like Sir Psycho Sexy prove it. The moments where the instrumentals take over, or the few songs that aren’t just consistently loud, are welcome.

It’s hard to find anything to dislike, and it’s an earlier exploration of tonalities that I like in other bands like Radiohead, but overall it was a bit too slow for my tastes. It was good to revisit it.

I bet these songs killed in a live show. The solos are great, songwriting is pretty good, but man does Neil’s voice get weird sometimes.

You've Come a Long Way Baby
Fatboy Slim
It sounds like an evolutionary step in music. Boxy 90s hip hop beats, overly repetitive songs that are about twice as long as they need to be, and a paint-by-numbers approach to creating some sort of structure. Praise You is far and away the strongest song, largely due to having lyrics longer than four words. The beats are good, but it’s far too much for an album.

Ideas are betrayed by the execution and poor singing. Some stuff is cool, but mostly it’s atonal or inharmonious just to grate on the ears. They might be cool live, but this record does a terrible job capturing it.

6/10. I can respect that they’re doing it well, but the vibe isn’t my favorite. Another album let down by weak vocals. Psychedelic, but not weird or narratively strong enough.
