two of the songs sounded like james bond themes, but this is really just further proof of the range of the Beatles. Certainly excellent, but a little too much in here without cohesion to be 5 stars.
Alternating between fever dream and the revolution, 70/30 split.
First half jaunty, idyllic locomotive heist, second half music that sounds like peripheral vision.
Harmonica is the most American instrument, overlayed by a phenomenal storyteller.
Temu beatles are still pretty decent.
A blues singer’s soul trapped in a rock star’s life
drama kid discovers eastern aesthetics
three amazing songs, but walk on by? it doesn’t get much better than that.
one star for does anybody really know what time it is? and one star for i’m a man. experimental guitar too experimental
authentic, timeless yet ancient, and still modern. The explanations are really nice context and work in flow with the album. I would have liked more shorter songs, but very good.
last song sounds what my one and only panic attack felt like. This album made me feel all kinds of ways
an album, through and through.
very good for how quickly it exited my brain.
i think this is what the grandparents of the 90s were worried about, right before everything else.
Before this I really did not like Geddy Lee’s voice, but man, this is an absolute banger through and through. Did not know YYZ was Rush, also, so there’s that. Maybe this is what growing up is
this is not my album. sorry tracy. singing is obviously technically skilled, i’m just off the style and content. also fast car feels unserious
Fun! Very fun. Weirdly on the nose about every song title though.
I am in fact in the mood. Great voice
Smiths detected. Idk, decent, mostly not for me.
a classic album. an intricately layered symphony of mania and ego, and an incredible triumph of hedonism
mostly fine. title track is the best by a mile, cover me is good. glory days is a song i would be content never hearing again
the important stuff. required listening
if kidz bop had the nerve to put it all on the line and challenge the listener
having listened to maybe four of them, this is the most radiohead album. it’s distilled, pure, whatever you want to call it, and it left no major impressions on me other than that fact. Good work
Very happy. And not just because of Happy Man. They fun with it
Stevie really is a wonder, man.
Endlessly lovely. Stunning vocals, phenomenal backing, wide breadth of subject matter but consistent quality, emotional range without losing sight of the one that matters most.
British rap at its finest. Got some Black on Both Sides vibes.
Interesting, different, but not quite for me. Felt a little same-y.
Technically sound, but not that interesting, foundational as it may be.
The title of the album is 100% correct
BLOCK ROCKIN BEATS
Raw as hell. The best boy bad, showing us how it can be done in the 90s. Not timeless, but stands proud.
