Glitter specks of truth and humor shine through the moody, smokey noir. Definitely a guy whose been through things, and is in the middle of another hard thing; the end of his life. Reminded of Sam in the Lord of the Rings : "There, peeping among the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for a while. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high

Love this album.

Can't believe I've never heard this before, and like that it clearly has 60s influences... but that is only a part of the sonic cornucopia, not the whole thing.

Short, angry, with moments of wtf humor while going after america's commercial culture juxtaposed with feelings of depression and loneliness.

Immediate love! I had heard Fela Kuti before, but not really listened ( which, like??). Fantastic.

Fantastic. Mellow, rich, full, timeless. The cover art completely mislead me into thinking this was more trendy, something that wasn't going to hold up. It's pretty awesome.

I wish I had heard of this earlier. Weird in a good way.

Always thought this was a 70s band.

had never listened to this whole album, but was happy with it.

it's talking heads. unmistakably.

So smooth.

wordsmith. recently saw the movie, so it's a little hard to not picture chalamet singing.

Very operatic, dramatic. RUUN FOR THE HILLLLLLLS RUUN FOR YOUR LI-I-IFE

obviously early Stones, showing they can do what was popular at the time while also adding grit and swagger.

a classic.

Good to listen to. Put this in my permanent collection.

some interesting social commentary with a lot of - maybe too much - sultry vocal fry. might try listening to it again later

GORGEOUS GORGEOUS GORGEOUS (also the first album in almost thirty recs by a woman artist......)

B-52s doing B-52 stuff.
