Good listen. Know a handful of songs from this band. After listening to this album I know where all the indie bands from the last couple decades have been cribbing from. Lots of good sounds and grooves
High energy record. Lots of cool baselines and guitar parts. I think based on this album, a Prince concert would be a lot of fun.
Cool album Lots of twists and turns and mix of jazz rock n roll and blues
Found myself getting a bit bored/uninterested while listening Had to remind myself that this album is 30+ years old and has influenced so many artists since
Nope. Listening to this makes me feel like I’m watching the credits from one of the Blade movies all the way to the end Reminds me of is bad haircuts, neck chains, and stupid rave clothes Wasn’t a fan when it came out and that remains true to this day
Fantastic album
A bit one note for me You’re angry. Check. You’re really clever and great with words/lyrics. Check. Great production. Check. Dated throwback from the early 00s where it was cool to be violent and casually misogynistic.
A very pleasant surprise Lots of interesting sounds and songs that take you on a journey. Wasn’t expecting anything from this album and really really enjoyed listening to it
Ooh boy. Boring music and introspective, esoteric lyrics. I felt like I was stuck in a tavern of olde, trapped listening to a travelling minstrel play, and the tavern was out of ale.
Brilliant album So many cool sounds and textures Just reeks of sin, filth, greed, shame and all of the other human vices/emotions Pretty Hate Machine is awesome and this album takes that aesthetic and makes it even darker
Tough Album Sparse and haunting Leaves you alone with your thoughts and feelings in between tones. Introspective and challenging. Don’t know if I’ll listen to it again but I enjoyed the challenges it presented
Mellow easy listen but didn’t get much beyond background music for me. Nice harmonies and music Reminiscent of Jim Croce, Gordon Lightfoot, and Neil Young
Middling listen Song 2 has been so overused by every Canadian sports franchise building that despite it being a great track, it makes me skip the tune. Death of a party and Essex Dogs were my favs. Some good dub/dancehall sounds and a fun listen. Rest of the album I was meh on
Average album Some interesting beats but generally not my kinda music Ahead of its time sound wise
Listened to this on family road trips as a kid. Doesn’t get any simpler that that. Enjoyed hearing this again
Listened to the deluxe remastered edition. I remember a lot of the big singles. Still hold up really well. Some of the other tracks are just kinda mediocre. Found myself liking more of the b sides and demos and live stuff. Showed a bit more levity and experimentation that the original album didn’t let shine because it was so focused on one kind of sound.
Had to listen to it twice to make an opinion Some really awesome sounds and arrangements I’m a huge fan of alt county and hear this band influencing a lot of bands I enjoy.
Classic Loud gloomy doomy listen Perfect album
Excellent listen. Rad album Nice harmonies and mélodies And can’t beat a little In My Life!
Super rad Forgot how good this album is
Goody white boy party rock. Some tracks aged well some didn’t No Sleep Til Brooklyn is still one of the best cock rock songs ever, even unintentionally
Ah Franz Ferdiepants Pretty easy listen Jangly poppy dancy guitar music that dominated the early aughts. Some interesting guitar parts and some cool grooves but not something I’d return to regularly. In the same vein as Futureheads, Razorlight, Modest Mouse.
Nice voice Easy listen Not sure I’d revisit it but was a decent listen
As someone else so eloquently said “music made by hobbits” Some neat arrangements and guitar work. A neither bad or good listen. Just not my style
Fun, bouncy listen Even though it’s 45 years old, this could easily find a home on the radio now. Simple beats and rhythms. Appeals to teenage me and my poppy punky leanings
Already had one Eminem album on here This is more of the same I get that it was innovative and edgy at the time, but it hasn’t aged well and is cringey
Fun Saturday morning listen Forgot how fun and mellow these guys are Good hooks and samples. Fun beats and positive messages Seeing them at Warped Tour one year in the early 00s was a highlight of an otherwise homogenous lineup.
