"I'm sure Clint Eastwood would like [the song]. He's an intelligent man." - Damon Albarn

Not as repulsive as I was expecting. I can kinda see why people like these guys. I'm also pretty confident I'll never listen to this again.

Torn between 3 and 4 for this. an immediate pleasure on the first few listens, but eventually all but the strongest 4 or 5 songs lose their luster. Still a lot to like here though

Best songs are On The Run, Time, Any Colour You Like, Brain Damage

I like Doolittle better

I was kinda excited for this because I'd never heard of this artist or album before, but it was a disappointment. Dull, overlong, too smooth.

I can't take this... Their hearts are in the right place at least. Did you know Dexter Holland has a PhD in molecular biology?

An all timer. Shimmering, ethereal, beyond "dreamy", conjuring a thick wave of sound that's warm but forceful. Emotive and human and dark but pure. Their other work that I've heard is good but they're on another level here. I went into this expecting I'd think a few tracks were a little weak, but everything on here shines.

Come out Jack Antonoff I know you're there I just wanna talk

Cute! I don't think this inspires as much devotion in me as it apparently did for Simon Reynolds, but a nice surprise for a daily album Favorite tracks: "Mud In Your Eye", "Flesh of My Flesh" Least favorites: "Breakfast Time", "Louise Louise"

Happy 20th birthday to the state of Illinois

A good album that doesn't hit in a big way for me. I can see what it's doing but I don't feel it

This dude dropped the lyric "If you look in your mind / Do you know what you will find" in the third song and I fully checked out. I'm sure it's a classic according to British rock journalists (and people who use the phrase "pop nuggets") (and Oasis fans) (and Oasis).

Not my thing. Some cool sounds, but the songs don't do a lot for me, and I'm not into the proto future funk production.
