Torn between 2 and 3 stars. I love that Pearl Jam exists and what they've done to inspire a lot of bands I love, but they're just not my cup of tea aside from a song or two. Still happy I listened, but I can't imagine any scenario where I'd choose to put on this album when there are so many to choose from that don't feel like work to get through.

Don’t Think Twice is an old favorite and one of the first songs I learned to play on the guitar. I love Dylan, and wanted to enjoy this album more, but I found the harmonica grating. It could be that I was just in the wrong mood for it at the time, because I just found myself antsy and wanting to get through to the end. I’ll have to give it another go because I still listen to Bob Dylan regularly, this full album just started irritating me, though.

Surprised at how much I enjoyed this.. feels like the perfect Sunday night album to put on to kick back and wrap up your week with the feels.

Sam Cooke's voice is a one of one. It's perfect and buttery. Rich and full of life. Truly my favorite vocalist of all time, he was gone way too soon! Fun hearing him in a live setting, I really enjoyed this album.

On paper, everything is there for me to like Rush and I keep thinking the day is just around the corner where I'll listen and it all finally clicks for me. But it never does. They feel sterile and distant and uninspired even if technically impressive. Also... Greedy's voice is annnnoyyiinnggg. I tried. I'm sure all try again, too. But man, I was so ready album to be over.

"Don't worry, I won't hurt you. I only want you to have some fun." Great lyrics to kick off the album because I really did need to suspend my '80s music judgement and just have some fun. This album was a blast and I'll definitely be listening again, adding some songs to my regular rotation. My main criticism is how many tracks unjustifiably are 6-9 minutes. I love a long song if it is building and adding new elements along the way, but too many of these were CTRL + C the first 2 minuted CTRL + V 3 more times for no reason. Still very fun.

Maybe closer to 4 stars when compared to Teaser and the Firecat, but for me Cat will always be an automatic 5 given how influential he's been in carving out my own music taste. I remember as a young kid feeling like I "discovered" him because it wasn't my parents, siblings, or friends who showed him to me- I found him all on my own listening to the oldies station and instantly he became a my guy. Tea for the Tillerman rules.

Tricky one to review Listening to the full album ⭐️ I imagine a live performance in the park at a summer concert series with a few buds and brews where they only play two songs, probably ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I get it, bong bong bong bong bong bong bong bong bong bong bong bong bong bong bong OKAY I GET IT.

Super fun, what else is there to say?

Whoaa mama this caught me by surprise! I was thinking it would be some '90s nostalgia for a few minutes but ultimately leave me ready for it to hurry up and end. Au contraire mon frère! This was incredible start to finish. Only thing holding it back from being 5 stars is I realize 85% of the time I won't be in the mood for this kind of music but it's just so perfect when you're ready for it! Maybe I'm being too precious about my 5 stars but this is riiiiight there. AND, totally justified long tracks which can sometimes be a drag but in this case, Underworld brought the goods and kept layering and taking me down a road I loved going down. Great listen, the '90s rule.

Still might like the idea of him more than listening to him but overall solid and happy this album exists.

Caught me by surprise, this was awesome! I could see myself editing this down the road and giving it the full 5 stars once I'm more familiar with all the songs. Not once did I think of skipping a track or feel antsy for it to be over. Beautiful.
