The first half of the album, the annoying piano is so intense that nothing else can really breathe in the mix. Second half was brilliant. 3 seems fair.
The guy who left the Secretary Rock review is absolutely unhinged. Beautiful music, strong themes that are sadly still very relevant today. Gotta be a 5.
They lost me a bit in the middle, and the fact they wanted to release Essex Dogs as a single is insane to me, but if you are looking for experimental indie at its finest, Blur really achieved this with this album. I feel like 4 is too high, I would give it a 3.5, but such id our flawed voting system that I have to round up.
I just wish the vocals were a little louder on some of the tracks.
This album started off AMAZINGLY strongly until the title track presented itself like a blood-sucking vampire and killed the energy. Following that, it was like being upset in a nightclub, the party still takes place around you, you sober up a bit and try to get back into the groove, occasionally getting another drink, and giving it your best dance even though you keep being pulled back to being upset. It just doesn't feel the same after track 5.
Mellow, beautiful, somehow left wanting a bit more whilst also not knowing how.
If this scale was /10 ot would be 8.5 Then you remember it doesn't allow decimals so you round to 9 Then you divide it by 2 because this is out of 5 so it is 4.5 But then you remember again you cannot have decimals so you round it up to 5 That's the formula for working out this rating, but the formula for an amazing Pixies album is Black Francis plus Kim Deal plus distortion equals a really really good time.
Whyyyyyy?
Great performance but -1 for being a cover album and -1 for choosing songs that go on about death all the time.
This review might be a bit biased because I have fond memories of listening to this in my favourite bar back when I was in college. The only bad thing was when some magician guy tried to hit on me, not realising I was a dude with long hair. This used to amuse the bartender who otherwise seemed to be having a very frustrating shift each time.
If you like lyrics about sexual and animal abuse, this is the album for you. But also get help.
John Lennon has a really nice voice. Paul is so annoying.
Lyrical masterpiece
I cannot get past the annoying squeak in his voice to get through the album I am sorry.
This was absolute shite. Please never make my ears hear this again. I would rather roll around in battery acid.
Lmao wtf is this, nevertheless he had a song about dogs and ending up charming me with his strange music.
I was torn between 3 and 4 but the peaks of this album definitely send it to the 4 territory.
