I feel like I would have loved this album if I was alive when it came out. It's easy to see how many other artists were influenced by the B52's but they're in the camp with Hüsker Dü and The replacements where I like everything that ripped them off more than I actually like them themselves. Planet Clair and dance this mess around are bangers
Its thriller. its insane how many iconic songs are right after the other on this one album. I will say however that it does have a few misses despite it having one of the best 5 song runs in music history.
Pretty boring classic rock
Nothing about this album particularly stands out to me. The African elements are interesting in theory but Paul Simon doesn’t really do anything with them.
Really fun album, I liked pretty much every track but due to the pseudo live nature of it I’m not sure how easy it’ll be to come back to
Some of the blandest nothing music I've ever heard in my entire life. not a single memorable melody or chord progression on the entire album. You could play this album on repeat as a form of water drop torture on people
Insanely ahead of its time. I love paper planes but the rest of the album is just so so for me
Fun album with super great production and vocals. The main thing that holds it back for me is how similar pretty much every track is
There are moments of greatness on this album interspersed with long periods of stupid noodling
Skip anything without Stevie nicks
Fun album that ultimately only has one or two stand out tracks. Closer to a 3.5 than a 3.
There are some albums that are 3 stars because they're just pretty good the whole way through. There are other albums that are 3 stars because for every great song it has there's a bad one. Sheer heart attack, and really Queen's whole discography is the latter. I've always considered queen to have one of the strongest greatest hits albums of all time but they could never really keep it together for a whole album. The great songs on this album (Brighton rock, killer queen and now i'm here) are fun pop rock tracks you could show your little cousin. The other tracks range from inoffensive to overindulgent noodling.
Wow how have I not checked out lorde before this album is so great
Fun album, I have to admit I have sort of a preference for live albums. B.B King is extremely charismatic and there isn't a bad cut here. However, there aren't really any high points on this album either which leaves everything feeling pretty one note
I love the lush atmosphere that songs like In France They Kiss on Main Street create. But there are some serious low points on this album as well like the jungle line and harry's house.
Super high highs contrasted by pretty boring roots rock leaves me with an uneven listening experience
Loved nearly every track here except the one about riding an airplane that one was kinda lame
I ran out of patience for this album about half way through. There are moments of really great song writing here but a lot of the experimentation that happens on this album doesn't really do anything for me. It feels like they want to be seen as "trippy and weird" more than they're actually interested in exploring any of the ideas they bring up on this record. listen to early ween or the flaming lips instead
The best ever.
One of the greatest ever. Enter the 36 chambers was life changing when I first heard it and it continues to be incredible today. Every song on this album has iconic verses and incredible production
