Kinda cool; evokes kids in a garage playing their favorite black sabbath, nirvana riffs. You can hear the country influence. Stripped down minimalist cool, but albums too long for me. Love ‘we are going to be friends’
Oh my goodness. Tedious, bland, sophomoric. Sometimes it sounded like boring Nirvana. Terrible guitar work. Almost gave up during ‘Exhausted’ and I thought it was finally getting good… but it was just Spotify auto-playing Blink-182.
Love the delta blues influence and surf rock guitar styling
Too boomer. Guitars are cool tho.
It’s ok. Very nice production; solid bops. Vocals are an unremarkable, though. Would prefer to listen to their older boogie influencers or contemporaries like Allman Bros or Skynyrd.
I’m sure there is a time and a place for this music but it is not here with me in the 21st century. Weird and corny. Whimsical medieval psychedelic folk - I can appreciate that it is an influence on British rock n roll, but that’s not enough to make this album good (for me).
Is k. I realized that this stuff is the precursor to the hoot holler stomp nonsense of the 2010’s and it kinda took me out.
Beautiful vocals.
RIP Prince of Darkness
This album rules.
Bit bland. Needs some seasoning.
Too long. C’mon guys.
Millennial canon. Great pacing in song sequence. Love the acoustic tracks. Stripped down blues rock n roll. Bops straight through.
There are some bops to be sure but the best tracks are essentially americana, blues & rock n’ roll studies. Bit long innit.
Boppy saxy

It’s ok. Definitely a product of its time. A bit corny with the slide guitar and record scratches. Beck makes very safe, hard to dislike music. It’s also hard to love.
Absolute classic. No skips. Chock full of iconic riffs. Drums are tight, vocals are raw. Energetic and subversive response to the flowery folk of the time.
What more can be said about this legendary masterpiece? Devastatingly good.
There isn’t a hard rockin band post 1988 that doesn’t have surfer rosa in its dna.
