Frankie Goes To HollywoodSoftboi mad max concept album. Two tribes now makes more sense but is less enjoyable

Some total dross mashed discontinuously into a few singles. Buy the greatest hits if you must
Trash
Disappointingly repetitive still. Not quite Devo
Interesting but not one of the toppers, even from 2009
Bit of a 1 trick pony but at least they spotted the trick 30 years before The XX
So much possibility, so much hubris
Magical, melodic, challenging, obscurantist, cold. I like it but it's like a friend that's really interesting and you have brilliant conversations occasionally but you'd never look to them for help with anything
Virtuosic chamber folk free association on the edge of sanity
A typical artifact of a bad period in recorded music. Was everyone really so smacked up? (rounded up to a 2 because of the sound quality in the mix)
Big Bush energy! Something new every listen
Sublime. If only Dylan had been born into a Cumbrian village community and come up with this bunch
Ear vomit
Harder and heavier than on first hearing
Original album is a 2. Deluxe tracks are a 3. A historical cultural experience at the time I'm sure, but all hype and no lasting value. Like Warhol, it is emblematic of other things that were also going on so you could happily take this out of the cannon without the progression of culture being affected. It's legacy casts a shadow on pop music where people insist on rehashing this nonsense in order to attract attention and fade away, just like VU. Being critical, It's the sound of being a vain, over educated, unskilled, privileged NY moron with too much time on your hands. Young, dumb and full of smack...
