Started strong with some big bangers and went out with a little bit of a whimper. Good instrumentation!

Is this the Beatles before they were cool? Vocals all being in exclusively the right ear is not pleasant.

Some absolute generational bangers in here. Album falls off in the second half.

Fun, groovy. They’re really talented musicians. I see what the hype is about.

This is my first time hearing Hello in its original form. Wild. Very good singing but bland otherwise.

Angry, novel. Very British. Sounds like British Invasion punk/alt.

It’s all good, but the thing is… it all sounds the same.

I can feel how this is influential on what would follow. Feels like proto-techno.

Competent but dull

So much fun stuff going on. Blues is Jazz, but for the peeeeeople.

Feels like a bad ruined by the meteoric rise of a single, which then defined them in everyone's eyes. Kinda fun until I had the realization they sound like U2 and then finishing was tough.

First time I’d encountered a concept album outside the confines of prog rock. Amazing story, amazing execution. Kendrick’s Magnum Opus of story telling. Swimming Pools is a masterpiece masquerading as a turn-up song.
