I wish someone had warned me just how much white-boy half-rapping was gonna be foisted upon me with this one.

Y'ever notice how during the chorus of "Monkey Gone to Heaven" Kim is pretty clearly saying 'this much is going to happen,' re-framing Frank's metaphysical ramblings as inevitable apocalyptic prophecy?

The 2018(?) remastered version adds at least a half star to this rating, definitely a case where the original production just didn't know how best to capture the band's energy.

In 1999, Star Wars Episode 1 was released onto a public that were ravenous for any new Star Wars product. The consensus at the time was that the movie was...let's say "flawed" but that it was definitely worth the wait to have a new Star Wars movie. And hey, the kinks would obviously be worked out in the subsequent movies, right? Cut to a few years later when everyone basically feels duped by the new Star Wars and with a clearer head can see The Phantom Menace for the boondoggle that it always was. So why are we still letting people get away with calling this anything other than a waste of time?

I'm sorry, but after years of having that opening wah guitar be used as a comical sound cue for sexy times it just makes me laugh inappropriately, a thing you should never do during sex unless you and/or your partner have a very specific fetish.
