Talking Heads and David Byrnes vibes. Albatross was freaking 10 minutes long, seemed to drone on forever. I do find it sonically interesting. Especially Swan Lake. Maybe it’s the bass. Not really my vibe, but interesting and formative without a doubt.

Its influence is clear. First time listening to the whole thing, and clearly transformative.

Never listened to The Smiths other than their popular stuff, and I can't believe I waited so long.

Interesting listening to this for the first time and understanding the context of where it stood in music history. I appreciate it, but it’s not my thing.
