Beggars to Exile run by them is GOAT stuff. Been a while since sitting with Sticky Fingers, forgot just how perfect the whole thing flows as an album

Being honest, I will not be listening to Coldplay recs. Yellow and Viva la Vida is fine, but I aim to have self-respect

Listened to more Style Council than The Jam over the years, this one definitely slaps. Extremely tight songwriting, you can hear the foundation of so much different punk, power pop, and new wave that came later. Especially the huge influence on Ted Leo’s sound

Technically fine and there’s a few songs I really like individually. Overall as an album it just doesn’t leave a mark on me though, and the hagiography of JM throughout my life predisposes me to shrug the effort off
