Actually really good - B side a little more somber. But this is a really solid record. I have this odd view of Beck and don't think i've eveer truly appreciated the artistry. He's been rocking it forEVER. Wish I could give half stars because it's absolutely a 3.5. BUT i'll give it a 4 because I unexpectedly enjoyed it. Fav Tracks: Guess I'm doing Fine, Golden Age

Did not fully listen and give it the chance it deserves - but respect the artistry for sure

Don't tempt me with a good time

I've never been a huge Jack White guy. Resepct the game and the hustle, but it was always just 'noise' to me with some decent lyrics. There were a handful of decent tracks here. I actually think I liked the B side a lot more. Especially the back half

This, the smiths, and all that has never really been my vibe. Once again, respect the artistry - but not something i'd pick out at a record shop and spin at home in my free time. But respect to the project - i'm going to give everything the listen it deserves

Honestly - this was pretty awesome. I wasn't reeeeeally into the first track but Pressure point on was really great. Turns out I knew Pressure point already from MVP Baseball 05'. But definitely never a band I looked into when i was 13. Front to back really dope. The vinyl pressing for this is rare as hell apparently - $200 a pop

I'll stand by this - Rehab sucks. Not the place - the song. SO many other better tracks on here to put as the lead. You can bury Rehab on the B-side. I know it's unpopular. But that's just like my opinion, man. But other than that really great 60's soul inspired music. Hard to hate

I didn't want to like it - but this is a fuckin bop and a half. Wow. Do i kind of want to buy this? at least the A side? yes...yes i do... I stand by my thoughts - the tail end of the B side, though ripping with a horn solo, does lose you a bit. Just comparatively speaking. But damn - she was a hit. Do i dig deeper into the catalog? Only time will tell. Shoutout Jimmy Jamm and Terry Lewis.

I mean literally always. It's just undeniably one of the greatest albums literally ever. Start to finish it's just so fluid. I'll never forget the first time I ever heard it and just how much I gravitated towards it. Brain Damage --> Eclipse is just one of the smoothest transitions in all of music. If that were just one song it might honestly be my favorite track of all time

It's got a little bit of everything in here. Starts off with an absolute ripper in River Song. Pacific Ocean Blues is the first track I ever heard off of this - probably about 5-10 years ago at this point. Its a little all over the place - but then you peel it back and realize this is his only album....of course you're gonna have a little bit of everything in there. Some ballads, some bops, some jams. Overall definitely into it - but i wish it were a little tighter and more succinct

Lyrically this is actually fantastic - i don't overly love the instrumentation. But his lyrics are absolutely incredible which really pumps the value up here. He doesn't get the love for Hallelujah(not on here) probably because of the Rufus Wainwright, and more importantly, Jeff Buckley renditions. But I think a Lenny Cohen, Neil Young collab could've been really cool(if that exists i might not be aware of it) Overall solid

I normally don't gravitate towards big band....but not to say I'm not into it. But this was really awesome. The first track definitely din't pull me in...but the rest absolutely had me going. Great driving music, really thought provoking stuff. How is that possible without lyrics? Well music is just funny like that. It doesn't need to literally ask you a question in order to get the juices flowing. Respect to Count. An all-timer forever and always

First track in and it's already sitting at a 2. But for the most part - this is just a lot of noise. Would've used a track from this in a 00's movie with some wild chase scene of a kid stealing a camcorder from Circuit City and outrunning the security on foot before he stole somebody's skateboard, promising to give it back later(he never does). Final verdict - 3. Wish i could do half stars because it really is a 2.5 I'm being generous because i listened to Oasis after. Comparing them to Nirvana is a stretch...like i get it? But still a stretch especially on their first album. Also, i really want to listen to Oasis after this... is that a compliment? I agree with the masses - not really sure why this is on this list. But whatever!
