Just quite boring for what it could be. Not sure why this didn't click with me the way other sample based records work. The opening track is somewhat interesting, but then the album just completely loses me. I guess this is historically significant? Oh well.
When I listen to this album I feel nothing. Nothing happens. Nobody cares. Very much of-its-era and not a great era to be of. Lyrics don't mean anything in this era. Emotion? No. No emotion. Progression? No. No progression. Passion? To some, maybe, but this legitimately just sounds like some white guy who can't sing trying to sound cool. Basically equivalent of bad pop punk. I kinda like jump because it's the only one which feels kinda fun. Side note: Not sure if I'm committed to this idea yet, but I might try to do an exact normal distribution of albums. I usually have a hard time with the lower end of a normal distribution, but right out of the gate I have two 1/5s so it might be TOO downskewed. So far the worst album I've listened to on thsi list, but to be fair it's only the second.
Coming back to this record after a couple of years, and I'm not exactly sure what I missed because they kinda jammed with it. Love the expressive vocals, love the guitars. The title track put me in a trance. Way better than I remember. Still gets somewhat stale after a little while, and isn't quite as experimental as they could be. Still a fun record though.
It's the Beatles doing thier least impressive stuff. Go listen to something more fun, don't be obsessed with 60s boy bands
fun album, nothing amazing
Booooring. Crazy that this guy gets away with diddling kiddies for making bland ass music.
Pretty good punk album, kinda spoiled growing up in the post 2000s with hindsight of better things to come
Yeah it's almost a perfect album. Really tight tracklist, groovy, sensual. Can't believe he gets mentioned alongside MJ.
