Def a twee quality that's aged poorly but overall a fun art pop album. I'd give it 3.5 but I can see why the pitchfork crowd swooned over it back in the day. The band is pretty sick, some wild polyrhythms and harmonies

3/5 Competent straight forward jazz

Fun disco

A classic, maybe a little overrated?

A flawed masterpiece

Some bangers with some filler

The music is pretty fun but it's very 70s hipsters with Bela Lugosi singing

Yeehaw 4.5

Fun 60s British invasion rock n' roll. 3.5

The gift is murder

A couple absolute bangers and a tiny bit of filler. 4.75

Classic electric blues sound

4.5

"golden years" and "wild is the wind" are bangers but most of this album feels like a warm up for the Berlin trilogy. 3.5

Grunge classic. Bit repetitive and too long

Not their best album but still a classic

Few bangers, too much filler

I've always bounced off country, so I was hoping this album would help me appreciate it more. It was ok but nothing stood out to me.

I can see this being influential for it's time but parts sound dated to my ears. McLaren is also insufferable. 2.5

Zzzz

An influential album that sounds pretty tame to modern ears. A few bangers that have aged well.

Lots of bangers with a bitta filler

Like if Zap Branigan made an album

Dated but not in a bad way. Bit too long at parts.

3.75

Bit too far afield for me.

Some fun percussion arrangements but the gushing from critics really baffles me.

Modern, maximalist classic

3.5 rounded up

Masterpiece

2.5 rounded up. A couple standouts but mostly meh crooners.

This is what pink floyd sounds like to people who don't like pink floyd

This album has a lot of bloat, but I can't help find this indulgent 70s maximalism endearing. Just a couple of guys being dudes.

3.5 rounded up

Can be used to fight zombies.

4.20/5
