- hell yea chill n ambient n percussiony instrumental intro - gender envy vocals - hooting and howling is a great name for a track - accent is funky, hard to pick up exactly what they're saying but i like it - male vocalist sounds like the guy from bakenaked ladies? - bakenaked ladies if they did ambient post rock - "when im sleepy" another great name - bakenaked ladies meets mika? meets foals? whoah - "we still got the taste dancing on our tongues" has the catchiest chorus so far - ooh underbelly is so ethereal with its little chimes - WHAT what an abrupt ending what i had to go back and replay that the chimes were so nice and then SNIP gone next some heres some drums - "he cried out" in through the iron gate damn mika got VOCALS - i like the guitar in this track - ooh that instrumental fade is nice overall good! sounds very coherent throughout, maybe a bit too much so where tracks kinda blend together. its very ambient post rock in that regard which i like! no crazy highs like explosions in the sky and it kinda just stays at a certain level where it feels like youre about to go over the top of the roller coaster but it never dips down too intensely.

soubour - oh shit that guitar riff at the beginning hell yea brother - vocals hell yea claps hell yea GUITAR HELL YEAH loving this - perfect movie intro song irganda - vocal style is so sick omg - god the instruments are so good Al Hassidi Terei - these guitar riffs just dont quit each song has had a bangin riff - love the singing all together - sound reminds me a bit of the end of the f***ing world soundtrack Sekou Oumarou - oooh a little slower than the others so far - didn't pop off like i expected but its alright Nick - ooh hell yea makes me want to drive around in a convertible on a hot day Ai Tchere Bele - ooh slow intro that gets absolutely fuuuunky - the rhythm in this one is dope Wayei - ooh the vocalizations in this one are cool - also like the guitar riff (although all of them have been banging so far really haha) Petit Metier - ooh acoustic guitar and vocals only so far - guitar again giving me very graham coxon vibes - vocals too - OOH hell yea when the drum/electric guitar and backing vocals come in Jolie - slower, some kind of intrument holding the beat that goes "cuh-tchk", v chill - popped off a bit more at the end nice Desert Melodie - god this guitarist is incredible love it sm - v chill Mali - acoustic + vocals only, melody reminds me a bit of jose gonzales - beautiful ending AWESOME love the entire vibe of this. funky, smooth, groovy- amazing album. no notes 10/10

The Headmaster - classic guitar intro - ooh the vocals ooh nannanana yayayy are real nice - repetitive, but i feel like its just opening the door to the rest of the album Rusholme Ruffians - ooh LOVE that riff - can definitely hear some of that "heaven knows i'm miserable now" in the way the singer plays with their vocals - outro is cool, like a mechanical switching of songs I Want the One I Can't Have - oh hell yea, sad beachy vibes for sure - beach vibes, car chase, probably my favorite track out of the 3 so far What She Said - nice rockin intro - vocals are such a contrast to the instrumentals; they're so upbeat and then you have the melancholic vocals, especially in this track. i can see why they have such a cult following! That Joke Isn't Funny - now theeeese are the instrumentals i'd expect with these kind of vocals, slower and moodier - oh whoah, just when the song i think is over it fades back in from the dead where it left off, really cool Nowhere Fast - doesn't stand out too much from the rest for me it feels like Well I Wonder - back to slower and sad - well, vocals are sad, instrumentals are chill and kinda soft/beachy in parts Barbarism Begins at Home - love the instrumentals - love the dog barks into the mic hahaha kinda unexpected but not unpleasant - my guy likes his drawn out outros - bass is dope at the end Meat is Murder - as a long time vegetarian; respect lol - like the distortion, sounds pretty different to anything else so far - COWS ? - first song i've heard that is so pro vegetarian, its cool - can't tell if its a kid, a woman or a pitched version of his vocals in the background but its giving me babe vibes which add to the vegetarianess of it all - dang this song came out of left field yet is the title track? maybe the rest of the album is what's out of left field despite being a tumblr kid of the 2010s, i've never listened to a smiths album back to back. i like the instrumentals a LOT, and the messaging and lyrics are dope too! however i don't think i jive well with the lead's vocals, which is too bad as i like the juxtaposition between the upbeat instrumentals and the sad vocals. there's just something thats like can "they put the mic away for a sec? i want to hear more of the isntruments!" all in all alright album, not a fave but don't hate it either.

alright classic mj! never heard this album in full so here we goooo Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough - YEAHHH DISCO a classic - that instumental break feels like a precursor to thriller - boy do i love it when an album fades out one instrument at a time OOH - no notes Rock With You - OOH love this sound - man hearing this makes me miss hearing more of a variety of instuments in modern music - like that trumpet? french horn? idk but whatever it is it adds such texture - LOVE Workin' Day and Night - honestly no notes again this is such a VIBE Get on the Floor - THAT BASS wwoowow - ooh that lower register is nice - OOOH that shaker, "whatchagobegah" "GETTUP" part YEAAA Off the Wall - very chill - insteresting that this one is the title track, it's fun but it doesn't stick out as much as the others to me Girlfriend - O O OH slower, smoooth - YESSS i love a good saxophone - romantic hehe She's Out of My Life - we slowing WAYY down to a ballad - his vocals are out of this world I Can't Help It - is it weird to say i feel like this is one of the tracks that the people who oversaw the production of sonic the hedgehog 3 back in early 90s and were like "lets get him on board- yes THIS is the vibe we want" - in short: smooth, groovy, moody, YES It's The Falling in Love - OH this album don't quit - that guitar ooof - man bring back instrumentals like THIS Burn This Disco - man this whole album is so cool all in all: INCREDIBLE album. you can hear how this album still influences artists to this day 40+ years later. i really wonder what fans of his back then thought when his next few albums went a little more pop and less disco after this one- was it controversial? anyways, instant five stars!

- bombastic intro damn - can kinda hear the you are my sunshine riff in there (bye bye love) - song already sounds like a time capsule smoooth - old disney movie love story vibes really nice - man instrumentals were something else back in the day - very cozy - that saxophone is *chefs kiss* - perfect winter album from these songs so far, so nostalgic and warm - whole album is so romantic, so much yearning very sweet album, brings me to another place and time. i was expecting country but am pleasantly surprised! how can you not love something as sweet as this?

whoah what an album cover- WAIT 4 songs and its still 40+ minutes? oh these guys mustve been VIBING recording this one - this is exactly the vibe i was expecting and im not disappointed at all - funky weird beats oh yeah and just like that its over! i've been looking for jazzy instrumental playlists with this kinda vibe to listen to while i work, but with the rise of AI taking over those kinda of "vibe while you work" instrumental playlists i haven't looked for them in a while.... so dope that there's a whole album like this!! love it

another album i've never heard the whole way through! here we go - lmao the spoken intro is a whole audio story - raunchy as i expected - THE WBALLS RADIO AD iconic - yup this is snoop dogg - "what do you want to be when you grow up" "a motherfuckin hustler" lmao - really like the little dialogue bits - feels like an anticlimactic end to a pretty wild album totally get why snoop got the following he did. i finally feel like a real stoner

- guitar rift reminds me of "are we the waiting" by green day - du du du du du dooo , fluffy, chill - ("hit") what am i listening to what - everything has sounded so chill and samey up until this point huh - i was just thinking damn i would've loved this album in 2014 during my indie rock obsession but now it just falls flat for me - but maybe things will change from here after this track? - "kill surf city" HUH same thing it goes from a guitar riff to distortion? things are spicing up - now we in the demonic screams part of the album - is it weird that its making me like this more - demonic cumming now - how did we get here - and then we go full circle back to indie chill - okay - this was.... an album lol
