Better Living Through Chemistry
Fatboy SlimSomewhat dated, but still fun and energetic.

Classic era. The “hits” still sound great, and the lesser known tracks hold up.
Fun, cinematic.
Listened in a Dallas hotel room. Sublime sounding.
Moody, broody, spooky, snooty. Wonderful.
Personal favorite REM record. Songs are great, and the band is tight. Perfect mix of articulated vocals, but mysterious words.
I don’t know much of the PJ Harvey catalog, so I assumed this was from the 90s. Feels very much of a different era. Did it.
Only knew the opening track. Crazy how that smash didn’t produce another single I was familiar with. Impressive debut!
Great way to start a Sunday. Walking my dog in my bucolic neighborhood. Legends, no doubt. Baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby….
So many hits! I didn’t recall knowing all of this tracks. Even though this was an “album” era, I only know these songs as singles. In Your Eyes is an amazing last track!
Solid as ever. Breezy and fun.
All timer. Probably listened 1000+ times in my life. Masterpiece
First time ever listening to a full GBV album. Which is wild, since they are chronologically and sonically right in my wheelhouse. I absolutely get the hype.
Magical. Ethereal, with just a little edge.
Legends. GI is OG.
Incredible debut. I was 16 when it was released, feels like last week.
Not giving Moz the streaming satisfaction of listening, but the record smokes.
Simply stunning. Still.
Justifiably iconic. Practically perfect.
So much good stuff. Just electric and velvety.
5 stars.
Not my bag. Also, surprisingly, I was completely unfamiliar with this artist. Weird.
Smooooth
My daughter has a T-shirt of them, with a picture taken by my friend.
Holds up well. Great follow up to Blondie.
I outgrew Frank about the same time I outgrew the Beatles. But the instrumentation is good.
Just lovely.
Icon. Legend. Muse.
Wasn’t familiar with 95% of these songs. Probably holds true for their whole catalog. Always pleasantly surprised.
Waits is 1/1.
So many hits. Although I was convinced Sultans of Swing was also on here. So not all the hits.
Learned about Armatrading from an old, old friend. Literally life-changing times, catapulting me into the first phases of real adulthood.
Sounds like another Sinatra album. My friend Kurt loved him when we were teenagers, oddly.
Perfect segue way into spooky season. American treasure, they are.
Obvious legend. Love the underlying tone that the rehabilitation system doesn’t/won’t work.
More appropriate moody vibes, as the seasons change. Underrated genius.
Reminds me of my childhood friends’ weird older brothers. Technically, I guess it’s a good record. Technically.
Big ballsy emotions.
Monae will be spoken about like Prince and Bowie and the queens of punk. Wholly unique.
