Blood On The Tracks

Heard 20+ times. Hits are essential, cuts cut. 104.3 canโt take this record away from me. Too cool of synth tones for โ78. โIโm in Touch with Your Worldโ is one of the best Devo songs. โBye Bye Loveโ is one of my favorite songs. 9.3/10, probably a top 1000 and a top 10 new wave album.
Heard 10+ times. not as sexy as ST, not as depressed as queen is dead - just whiny. but god is headmasterโs ritual good. 8/10.
Heard ~5 times. Used to really like this one, realized john cale does it way better (in half the timeg. Sultans of swing is goated though. 7/10
My 5th favorite radiohead album. 10/10
AAYYYYEEYEYYE IIIIII I MMM SSTILL ALLICEE OOOOOOO YEAH IIIII OOOO IM STILL ALLLIVEE YEYEYAYWEUUWUAUEAU GEETAR SOLOOOO 10/10 probably my most listened to album oat
Heard 10+ times. Axe Moonchild's noodling and this is the best prog album of all time. Always wish it leaned more into folk instead of the symphonic shit. Greg Lake shouldn't have left to go do ELP wankery, he slaps that god damn bass. (Red is still better.) 10/10.
First listen. Stevie is at his best when he's pissed at the world, and he absolutely isn't here. Total lack of funk - he has a beautiful voice obviously but I've never been too into the prog soul stuff. Something about this just feel sterile compared to the rawness of Innervisions before or the sincerity of Songs after. Ok I pulled up the credits and the answer is he DOESNT PLAY ENOUGH MOOG BASS THATS WHAT IT IS. Maybe that's why I like Boogie on Reggae Woman so much. Probably will stick with going back to Innervisions. 7/10
My hot take is that this is by far the worst of the Station to Station/Low/This trilogy. I can't get myself to care about the Eno noodling back half when I could literally just listen to Eno do it 10x better on his own albums. The two singles and closer are peak Bowie, though - Heroes is a top 5 song OAT on every single day of the week. 8.5/10
I haven't listened to this in maybe 3/4 years after being a regular listener in HS and college. I'm specifically listening to the platinum edition, which I correctly remember being much worse than the standard edition. Even the standard track listing is more bloated than I remember. Pretty Hurts - Partition remains an elite run, and Haunted is probably still my favorite B song. But god, Jealous - XO just bounces me so hard, and XO has become one of my least favorite of her singles in recent years. Its highs remain high, and its lows remain low. God 7/11 is objectively an awful song but that shit goes HARD. 7/10
I'd die for Lord Donald's wife too. 9/10
I think Iโve reached the point where I enjoy jazz, but still donโt โgetโ it outside the clear classics. Got bored halfway through. Crazy this was recorded in the 40s
This is just Ween if they were foppish dandies
Nowhere near their best, but thereโs some days where Iโll Feel a Whole Lot Better is the greatest song ever written. I feel like REM doesn't exist without this
first listen in a few years, almost always go back to the modern dance over this. One of the most insane relistens Iโve had in a long time, this thing is fucking incredible. Itโs somehow weirder than TMD but also more laid back and playful. Even the throwaway experimental track kind of fuckin rocks. RIP
this was fun! a lot better when itโs trying to be White Prince instead of White Michael Jackson
this oneโs good!

Didn't listen, but have heard before. It ight.
Itโs insane they allowed the first half of leper messiah to make the cut
just want someone to tell me what to do at this point
we all know neil demanded the oriental riff
listened to this out if my blown out laptop speakers and it still sounded perfect
these white boys (and also Tricky) can RAP (check out Trickyโs debut)
The singles are all legendary, but back half of this is a slog. Cube is always operating at the same high level, but he really benefits from the super consistent production on most wanted and death certificate which just isn't here
what id we put Sting in a lake
Itโs me. Iโm the funk soul brother.
this shit changed high school tyloreโs WORLD. agree with nelson that it drifts off in the back half, but beckโs still a killer with two turntables
I didnโt listen but fuck johnny rotton
licking envelopes rn
makes me feel worse than my parents' divorce
this was so Important to 16 yo tylore itโs unreal. I know itโs long, and thereโs too many transitions, but every song has a moment where I go โthis is the best thing ever writtenโ and thatโs enough for me! (chicago -> casimir palaski day is the best song of all time)
stand by two weeks being one of the best singles of the 2010s, but after not hearing this for a few years I was SLEEPY
Iโve realized this and beneath the remains are just the two best slayer albums
mfers never taken a drunk piss on a tree and it shows (top 25 OaT probably one of my most listened albums)
empirical evidence that weโd live longer with mid afternoon croissant breaks
three stars for three great songs and none for the rest
