Heard this one a few times before. Psychedelic, atmospheric, but just a couple of standout songs for me. Will revisit. Embryonic is still my fav Lips record.
3 songs: 5 stars the rest: 1-2 stars Album: 3 stars
contrary to the normal 80s three minute songs - most are over six - totaling 9 tracks at nearly an hour long great guitar riffs groove smart use of keys a few big hits, other decent songs I hadn't heard before 3.5
Solid indie alt rock record. Helped define the indie aesthetic in that decade.
Some high notes, some low. Hadn't heard this record before, mostly sticking to their first two. Pleasantly surprised. 3.5
2/5
with the exception of Song 2, mostly uninterested
Jack White is a talented musician, this album had a couple standout tracks, but not enough to bring me back for a full listen. 3/5
Up there with the best of the punk/new wave explosion of the 70s/80s.
Their influence is apparent in much of the music scene today, especially post-punk and psych rock. I unfortunately haven't spent much time with Sonic Youth, I will now.
One of the most pivotal albums in punk rock history.
not bad but not too original for the time
Only 4/11 songs worth listening to. Mostly lyrically lacking. 2/5
Seems like they're still trying to find their sound in this one. Full of mostly emotive soundscapes.
great experimentation and groove 3.5/5
One of my all-time favorite records, front to back.
Underwhelming compared to their first two albums except for the title track and Sprawl II.
two great songs and mostly yawns.
Long time Metallica fan and just recently discovered that since this was Jason Newstead's first record and the first record since the Cliff Burton's passing, the rest of the band mixed the bass way down so it's barely audible. This used to be my favorite Metallica record but I have to dock it a star for that.
Not my jam really, but her voice is beautiful.
Genre defining sound. Stephen Malkmus's voice is an acquired taste though.
3.5 Revelation kind of carries this album.
Songs for the Deaf has always been the album of theirs that has drawn me most. This one has its moments. I can still hear Kyuss peeking through in a lot of this album, which is great, but I still feel they're searching for their sound here in the first album.
The music was OK, but couldn't get over the mumbling vocals.
I'm convinced some albums made it on this list because of one hit song, which I feel ruins the spirit of this exercise. One point for Our House (which sounds nothing like the rest of the album), one point in general for the talent of the musicians, not the songs themselves.
Average rating: 2.66 (0.63 below global average).
Album origins are grouped into three buckets: US, UK, and everything else. “Other” means the artists you rate highest are from outside the US and UK.
