They really Mars Volta-ed this one.

Prior to listening, had I been asked if this album had saxophone on it, I’d have been wrong.

If I didn’t know any better, I’d say these guys were upset with the political climate in the early 90’s. Fortunately for them, things have improved drastically since then…

Someone should check-in on their singer. He seems sad.

Sounds like an album from the band that did “West End Girls”.

This was fine?

Songs about killing girls that cheat them? These guys are going to be huge.

Pretty good singer.

Remember Rio, and get down.

Technically only a year out, but would have sworn this album came out in the early 90’s… “Epic” is still alright.

Kül.

One song reminded me of Nirvana. Others reminded me of The B-52’s. Those aren’t comparison I’d have expected on the same album… that was before the song that sounded like The Aquabats.

So this is what Canadian rock music sounds like... I like it.

I bet these guys are a big hit at Renaissance Fairs.

1919 seems like it’d have been a weird year to be in Paris.

I never would have claimed to enjoy jazz. I don’t know if this classifies as jazz, but, if it does, I was right. I don’t enjoy jazz.

Girl drummer!?!? Now I’ve heard it all.

They really Mars Volta-ed this one.

Four people in one bathtub? These fuckers are crazy.

I dig your groovy tunes, man.

Nope.

I have to assume this won’t be the only album of his on the list. If it is, they picked the wrong one.

Would have liked stories from at least one more location.

Sounds like another album from the band that did West End Girls.

Stop. Clap. Stomp, stomp, clap.

Weird urge to worship Satan all of a sudden. Probably unrelated.

If they didn’t sell concert t-shirts that read “Elastica Makes Me Ecstatica”, then what was point of any of it?

Prior to listening, had I been asked if this album had saxophone on it, I’d have been wrong.

No, thank you.

More like Zed Leppelin, am I right?

If I didn’t know any better, I’d say these guys were upset with the political climate in the early 90’s. Fortunately for them, things have improved drastically since then…

Probably would have been five, but this album didn’t quite reach out and touch me.

God damn you, Buck Owens. You’ve done it again, you son of a bitch.

It would seem pretty insensitive to comment about his skills as a musician clearly being superior to his skills as a swimmer.

A “spoiler alert” for those that haven’t seen the movie would have been handy. No point getting invested in Freddie’s storyline now.

Also not great in a digital format.

I don’t get the impression that she’d have been a fun hang.

I wonder if there will be other colors that combine to make a Voltron-like, ultimate Monk album.

Still not quite grasping what the big deal was.

As a fun bit of trivia, they should consider listing the drugs the artists were using when they made the albums.

Based on their name I was expecting something a little more aggressive sounding. They should consider changing their name… and their sound.

Someone should check-in on their singer. He seems sad.

Couple of these I didn’t mind. More of them, however, that I minded a great deal.

Pretty sure there’s a comma missing in “Boogie On Reggae Woman”. I also wonder if anyone ever told Stevie it wasn’t there?

This should serve as a lesson to aspiring musicians. Put out an album like this, and one day you might get to play high school reunion bartenders on It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

Is the list trying to bum me out on a Friday morning, or subliminally suggesting I should stop and buy red lipstick on my way home?

One song made me think of the Gin Blossoms. It was kind of downhill in either direction from there.

I knew these guys were generally considered a reggae band (as one would expect from a bunch of British guys), but, armed with that information, this was still surprising.

This is an album rating by me. The star value of that rating is four.

I think my hair feathered itself while listening to this.

Bet some babies have been made after people listened to some of the songs on this album.

Had they know print media would be dying in a few decades time, do you think they’d have chosen a different name?

Maybe an unpopular opinion, but some of these songs are pretty dumb.

Were I to ever meet someone claiming this was their favorite album, there could be no guarantee that it wouldn’t provoke a violent response.

Better than expected, but I’d set a pretty low bar going in.

I heard the style, and did not miss the point.

Guess they covered their bases by adding “As We Know It”. That way that song can be relevant every few years when shit gets worse.

If they were going for a shittier version of The Cure, I guess they kind of nailed it.

Probably not a frequent addition to very many party playlists.

The cover photo would suggest that one member was a bigger deal than the rest of the band. Hope that doesn’t create any tension between bandmates at any point moving from this point.
