I'd never gotten into this album in depth before, at least not that I remember. I was a late convert to Siouxsie - probably from some teen movie soundtrack. Anyway, first 3 tracks are super solid but 'Sin In My Heart' speaks to me on another level - it's short but has this driving rage that I love (and obviously is heard throughout the album). The album slaps, as the kids say.
Not a Ye fan per se, but I found this album very listenable. I’ll have to get over my dislike of him and open up to more of his music.
This came to me after I’d already been introduced to the English Beat/ the Beat and FYC. Still formative for my high school era music education.
Garage Americana. If not the best debut album, certainly top 3. I’ll let you know the others if/when they generate
I finally got around to seeing these guys in my twenties while they were touring this album with Suicidal Tendencies and Dokken. Seemed like they’d been touring this forever by then, but it was still damn good!
Opening with Natural Mystic, you know you’re in for a deep, soulful ride. For me, from Heathen on, it’s all peak Marley.
It’s great but very of its time. Doesn’t hit like it did in the nineties unfortunately.
That was fun. Never listened to a full album of Buck Owens. My bad!
Love The White Stripes but never really listened with a critical ear. Powerful in its simplicity even though we’re beyond the earlier rawness at this point.
It’s great but there’s a bit of redundancy to it if you’re excluding the hits
A little to proggy for the current me but I hear seeds of greatness
A sophomore album that defined the band’s style. Raw and rocking with very obvious lifts from the greats of the delta blues
What more can be said? Perfectly engineered. Love ‘em or hate ‘em, these dudes knew what the fuck they were doing and what they wanted to achieve.
Was never a New Order fan but I gave it a proper listen. Still not a fan but I get it, I think.
Still holds up well. A lot of the social issues are still here and getting worse unfortunately.
Making psychedelic grunge metal as poppy as possible, this album is a favorite of my mid-twenties, and I still love it today.
