Loved a few tracks but not a listen through album for me. Pivotal alt rock sound though and does feel like an essential experience for that scene.

The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady
Charles Mingus
I really tried to find the artistic side of this album and see a way to enjoy it, but with all the respect in my heart this just felt like a pure cacophony of noise lol. It definitely feels like the soundtrack for any manic pixie dream girl of the late 50’s early 60’s. Mad respect to Mingus but just not my style.

This album made me realize how many Cure songs I already knew. But the other songs I hadn’t heard yet just felt like they went on forever.
