Feels like running late to work while sneaking a sip of hot coffee at the crosswalk. Love the crazy high sax and winding low bass ! Good job John Coltrane

sound has nostalgic elements that will continue to inspire persist long after its time. makes me think of summers in childhood, bbqs in the front yard and swimming pools with the sun beating down on us and icy soft drinks.

blerghh. sounds like Home Depot music to me, or something they play at 10:30 while ur buying a 6 pack of miller lites at a buckees.

quintessential blues album w an awesome flair for the dramatic. the lyrics are melodramatic at times, jubilant at others, but it’ll make ur foot tap and head bob either way. makes u want to go out and dance in dress shoes w someone

trippy alt-rock with an interesting narrative that doesn’t feel like it was just inspired by psychedelics lol. the album had some unique, funky elements I love and don’t often see in the genre, while still having that nice alt rock feeling of lifting thru the air. I would love to listen to this album again looking out the window of an airplane or on a long train ride! love “fight test” and “ego tripping at the gates of hell” alongside the main “yoshimi battle” songs :^)

I could never be a superfan of the cure bc of their dark, heavy ambience, but I can definitely appreciate the unique style shining through in this album. If anything stands out the most in their work for me, it’s the lyrics. It’s someone’s heart bleeding out on a plate in front of you, and I feel it strongly in “pictures of you” and “homesick”. Solid album for wallowing in bed waiting for them to text back! 👍

I knew I was picky when it came to rock but damn. This one really lives up to the “ass vocals, good instrumentals” trope. I loved the snappy bass and drums, and the guitar is what you want in an alt rock band. It’s just the vocals are ASS. It’s odd bc I love free/experimental styles but this really scratched my brain wrong. Really think it was just the vocals, bc they were MUCH better in “Corona” but most others were a tough listen :^|

very interesting! british punk isn’t my thing but it was worth trying out once

great album!! the 80s vibe was strong and the upbeat sound had me tap my foot once and again. really enjoyed Love Goes On! and Devil’s Eye 🫶

classic rock n roll, not really my thing but I can appreciate the iconic sound that inspired so much of popular music 🫡

I thought I couldn’t REALLY get into early jazz and swing bc it made me feel like I was living in a charlie chaplin film, but I was proven wrong! Count Basie is an icon, the grandiosity and sheer movie like quality of the songs put me in a good mood, and “lil darling”, the last track, was a sweet and slow song like a warm hug. my favorite second to “double-o” !

loved this one!!! the lively instrumentals and unique (but not grating) vocals were a pleasant change from most of the british alt rock/punk bands I’d heard before (to me, unlistenable) yours is no disgrace REALLY hooked me, the clap was an awesome demonstration of free style guitar, and perpetual change put the album to sleep in a very satisfying way… (starship trooper and all good people were great too but took a bit of stamina lol). glad I was introduced to this band!
