Classic. Still can’t stand that song Around The World though…

Absolutely for me.

Loved this when it dropped. Completely grew out of it after a while. Now I’m middle-aged and inexplicably have a whole new appreciation for this shit again.

Just awful. What a bunch of poseurs.

Going to a Stooges show way back in the day was probably fucking killer, and Bowie was a brilliantly theatrical composer, but trying to make that collaboration boil down to a stereo recording here just doesn’t do it for me. There’s a couple good songs on this record, but I’ve given away both of my physical copies years ago. This feels like one of those “You would’a had to of been there” type of moments in music.

There’s some serious millennial bangers on this one. I honestly haven’t revisited this record in a long time. It still sounds great by today’s standards. It brought back fond memories of riding the M train through an ungentrified Brooklyn, people watching, and listening to this using a classic iPod. Oddly, my least favorite song on this album is probably the title track.

Not for “MEEEEEEE”. (That’s how they sound. All high pitched and whiny.)

Loaded with goofy shit that doesn’t exactly rock, but this album undeniably kicked open some psychedelic doors that allowed other artists to explore. You can spot clear elements of influence straight out of this record over the following decades, even much more contemporary and heavier groups such as The Mars Volta wouldn’t exist without it. Overall, this album definitely isn’t going into my rotation, but I still respect it.

Delightful! Only thing stopping me from giving it 5 stars were the random obnoxious electronic sound effects thrown in there seemingly just to kill the vibe…. Otherwise, it’s a ‘90s ADHD gem.

It’s okay. The vocalist has great range, just could do without the pterodactyl noises. The album starts off a bit lame, but I like the second half. I actually had this record when it dropped and remember really liking Y Control for some reason.

Well, this record definitely passes the vibe check.

He was obviously impactful, is still relevant today, and I’m glad that I finally sat down and listened to this record in its entirety for the sake of art history appreciation, but I just don’t find Elvis interesting… like at all.

Well, that certainly was… something. During a time in music when people were singing about holding hands and electric guitars were still controversial, this band was like, “How about some schizophrenic math-rock and abrasive gypsy vocals?” Thanks! It’s very well crafted and deserves respect. I hate it.

Pretty generic. Maybe at the time this would have sounded different, but a lot has happened in the last four decades.

It’s alright, but I’m struggling to even remember what this record sounded like a few hours after listening to it.

Impressive vocals and groovy melodies. I really enjoy listening to this in the morning, although I admittedly skipped the title track. Heard it one too many times on the radio.

Man, if I was born in the 1950s and was listening to this as a teenager in the early ‘70s, it would probably sound amazing. Too bad.

Ridiculous ‘80s pop-opera.

Too sexy!
