Solid grunge rock, singer needs to protect his vocal health
The live recording adds to the power of the songs, 'cause this crowd can directly relate to these themes (as can Johnny)
I loved it when it came out, and still do! I wonder how many other musical genre's owe their start to industrial accidents?
As '80s duos go, TfF is one of the best. The singles are lyrically among the most poignant written.
This is a well produced album of some wonderful songs to soothe the soul
Some very listenable bossa nova with brilliant solos
A very listenable blend of quirckiness
Metal as metal should be
The album that proved Aerosmith were a band to be reckoned with! All rock-n-roll with enough new twists to solidify their place in the pantheon
Van Halen bursts onto the scene with Eddie's inimitable guitar work and Roth's vocal calisthenics for a solid debut
These songs are good, but the string arrangements are ruinous. Another producer could have taken this in a different direction and saved it
Interesting exploratory techno in a genre started by Moog and Eno
Brian Wilson takes the Beach Boys to the next level with brilliant production. An incredible effort
Four guys that never got along joined to make great rock-n-roll in spite of themselves. Brilliant!
One of the best songwriters, every song here is well crafted
This cotton candy fluff gave me cavities
Very little cohesion here but I suppose that's the point. Will listen again
Some good tunes, some self indulgence; would have made a better single record
The return of fuzz guitar and the three minute single that needs maximum volume to appreciate. Rock on!
Very pleasant pop with the right dose of teenage angst
Excellent record! In retrospect, one wonders what great things were still to come
Solid grunge rock, singer needs to protect his vocal health
Good pop songs about bad break-ups
Genius folk singer/poet goes electric! And allows genres to meld
Lots of different styles tried, with various levels of success
I would go see this band if it was playing at the local, their ilk has been playing there since the seventies
Terrific debut! Vernon Reid's guitar work puts him in league with Alex Van Halen and his lyrics are as timely as Elvis Costello's
Move over Pat Boone and Perry Como, Ray can do country swing for the country club dance better
Captures the feel of an average nite at the a club
One notch above ambient, occasionally I thought something interesting might be about to happen
Free jazz by one of its finest
Meh
Sharing two things with the Who, an association with Mods and a belief in the bass guitar as a lead instrument; that's my Jam
Unavailable on Spotify and You tube. Listened to Sahra, his 1996 album instead
As with all double albums, a bit self-indulgent, but on the whole brilliant
This is definitely a must listen, especially if and because the subject matter makes you uncomfortable
One of the great PNW bands of the 90's! Brilliant
Better than his first,arrangements are very good. Pleasant garden party music
