Irresistible groove by the Wailers, but not my favourite Bob Marley record
Timeless art rock album filled with great songs full of clever pop hooks and Bernard Butler's guitar playing at it's best. Not a single weak link on this album. Bit pompous and over dramatic at times, but always catchy and groovy.
The jazzier and atmospheric stuff on this album is really good, but the hectic breakbeat rythm parts just make me nervous. Ambitious and experimental debut record that created whole new genre, but not quite my cup of tea.
Songs like This is a call and Big me are great power pop tunes. Bit like Nirvana, but without the angst. These first few Foo fighters albums had the relaxed and innocent atmosphere of just enjoying making music, before Foo fighters turned into stadium machine. I quite like this album, although it gets bit monotonic towards the end
I remember this sounding quite OK at the time it was released. Now it just irritates me. This post punk revival did bring to light few decent bands like Editors and Interpol, but Franz Ferdinand's indie disco already feels quite outdated.
Not my kind of music, but i kind of like these thrash metallic vibes. There are some progressive elements and usually these records are really well recorded and mixed. For this kind of soundscape anyway. Not my favorite, but wouldn't mind hearing it again sometime in the future...
There’s real element of danger on this record. Iggy groans, moans, screams and even sings at times. Ron Ashestons merciless guitar riffing and the brutal groove of the rythm section. Not so much of great song writing, but double the attitude and precence. The Stooges was inspiration to so many different bands and even genres (punk, post punk, alternative, grunge and whatever) that came years later. On top of the totalistic band sound of the Stooges there’s the crazy saxophone adding to the cacophony. Great stuff and ground breaking record!
At first it was bit unfair that this record came right after Fun house by the Stooges. But i listened this two times to sheriffit off the comparison. Difficult to comprehend the kind of effect this record had on youth and whole society when it was released. They were even banned to play in Finland by the government :-D So, the adults dissaproved, but the youth after prog were ignited with a spark that anyone can do this! Musically this album is pretty simple street rock, but i guess the big fuss was more about the lyrics and public appearance of Rotten and co. swearing in television etc. It's a solid rock'n'roll album that probably did not create punk movement, but was very much part of the big bang.
Never been much of a metal head, but i’ve always liked Black Sabbath among few others. This album includes many Sabbath classic riff’s that have taught generations of guitarist’s to play.
This album has the best balance of all sides of Talking heads. The groove, experimental side, hits, the wit. Remain in light and the debut are my favourite Talking heads albums
Started well with the sound of upright bass, but after that it was pretty common hiphop.
This album sounds bit like the English version of Wilco’s Yankee hotel foxtrot. The songs have deep connection to English pop tradition, but the album also has the experimental twist to it. I like it! Was thinking between 3 and 4 stars and i give it 4 because i think it is a grower. Will definitely listen to it again!
I know that this is some kind of shoegaze classic so i should like it, but i’ve never really had the patience with this one .
