It was life changing in 1986, when I found a cheap cassette in the re it’d store at the mall. I studied every riff on this record. Magical.
Wow, I really missed it the first go-round on this one! Thoughtful, tough, vulnerable, melodic … will rework to this one!
Of course, it’s seminal. I never noticed how expertly produced it is. Still, When the Levee Breaks …
I’m embarrassed that this album disappointed me when I bought it in the early 2000s because it wasn’t enough like OK Computer. It’s delicate and powerful, and reveals more details in each listen.
Love Booker T, but it didn’t do it for me
I don’t think I ever listened carefully to Mercy Street before, wow, atmospheric, emotional, powerful.
Loved it more than expected. The hits were only the beginning., Some okay fast, thrash songs, too.
Great guitar playing, cool songs, highly recommend
Did not love. I remember the hits, and they were okay, but the other songs… they are talented people, but goes didn’t do it for me.
Good record, liked Parachutes better.
I listened to this one twice, one sheet the other. Clever, catchy music; the pointed yet hopeful lyrics; the range of emotions covered. A straight up masterpiece.
Great jams, super talented musicians, loved this, unexpected pleasure
A solid record, pretty cool songs, once I adjusted to Lou’s voice I liked it
Good album, but Hurt drives this into great territory
A solid record, with cool sounds and neat melodies. I don’t think I appreciated the guitar work in New Order before.
Really enjoyed it, full of clever music
A classic
A classic: an inventive, funny, charming love story about robots. There’s a reason “ Do You Realize?” is the state song of Oklahoma.
Cool record, Karen O’s vocals are spectacular and the music behind it is shifting and interesting
As great as I remembered. A feast of sounds and imagery, coming together with real soul to it. Love.
How did I miss this one? Cool songs, great lyrics, melodic and playful. I will return to this one.
Solid Attractions record, a few bangers, overall a fun listen
Loved it! I never listened to much early Dan, but this is a terrific record.
Loved it, always fun, but wow the first and last song go on forever!!
Great vibe, classic tunes, was great to listen to but I won’t return to it.
A fun listen
A really great record, atmospheric without being gloomy
Boy howdy, I mean to tell ya, that blew chunks.
I never listened to this before. It’s what Limp Bizkit is shooting for: a seamless connection between 90s metal and 90s rap. It’s executed well, but it isn’t for me: I’m too long in the tooth to enjoy adolescent rage.
Perfect from start to finish. Even the long jam Sex Machine was fun to listen to.
It’s interesting and kinda clever, but it left me cold
Just as wonderful as I remembered. An American anthology of love, life, loss …. Still resonates almost 50 years later.
A solid enjoyable dance record
Woah, another treasure that I missed. The rap is crisp and clever, the beats and music are inventive and interesting, a real masterpiece that I never heard until now.
A good Pixies record
