Screamadelica

Primal Scream

4/5

Urban Hymns

The Verve

5/5

Solid mid-to-late 90s Brit rock sound. Reminds me of Oasis and (deeper cut) Kula Shaker, and the "bigness" of the best U2. I can see the path from something like Stone Roses to this album. Overall, cool vibes, lots of raw emotion and feelings of going nowhere and listlessness, but with a underlying feeling of hope as well, knowing it'll be ok even if it doesn't seem like it at the moment. "Bittersweet Symphony" is a masterpiece (song and video) Loving the vibe of "The Rolling People" "Velvet Morning" and "Lucky Man" "The Drugs Don't Work" is a heartbreaking realization that a relationship is over, and you can't escape the feelings any longer. Really great song of grief and personal loss. I'm thinking of Indy right now listening to this and getting emotional.

I love the vibraphone-esque tones on Soft Shock This album reminds me that there is a ton of great stuff out there that doesn't really make its way into the public listening sphere. Going into it I thought "this will be an easy 4 star" but it is better than I thought. The build and flow of the songs are masterful

White Blood Cells

The White Stripes

Pelican West

Haircut 100

5/5

Incredible instrumentation and tight funk and ska songs. The production and interestingly the stereo mix of the songs (their left/right mix) is really good, one song has a car go from one ear to the next, lots of sounds on one side or the other to sound very immersive. They really shine on those parts, like "King size (You're my little steam whistle)", "Baked Beans" and "Lemon Firebrigade". I actually like their biggest song "Love Plus One " the least. I think "Calling Captain Autumn" is my favorite I would totally play "Favorite Shirts (Boy Meets Girl)(12" Version)" in a new wave set Got some Joe Jackson vibes, particularly in the singing

Pre-disco Bee Gees. Some ok moments but mostly forgettable. "How can you mend a broken heart" "somebody stop the music" "Trafalgar" is like a lost Beatles track

The heights are really good, like Prince, but there's a bunch of short bits or joke songs that kind of mess up the flow for me "Sweet Life" and "Pilot Jones" "Crack Rock" uses the drum beat from Led Zeppelin's "How Many More Times" "Pyramids" is awesome
