It's like a King Gizzard album but from the 60s. Has all the key points of a Peter "Giz" album: spoken word, a fantastical story, psychedelic jam session vibes. Truly a shame I just don't like it. I give it 4 gizzards out of 10 lizard wizards
Cool funky vibe. Feel like the message or emotion is lost with the language barrier. I give it 3 Mali out of 10 lizard wizards
Cool vibes. 5 bamboo reeds out of 10 lizard wizards
5 Bob's out of 10 lizard wizards
Some bops and some flops. 5 sirens out of 10 lizard wizards
Something I could listen to again without hating myself. 6 stones rolling down the street out of 10 lizard wizards
9 outta 10 lizard wizards
Sounds like background music that doesn't have any real impact. Early 2000s hip-hop slop. 4 explosions out of 10 sadie sorceress-es
Heard you got some new homies. No memorable tracks, but nothing too forgettable. Better than Ms Dynamic, worse than Compton. 6 scissors out of 10 fishing for fishies out
This jazz just ain't for me. 3 brews out of 10 gila monsters
Takes me back to the days walking down the road, crossing the street in a white suit while being followed by 3 stalkers. Got some good tunes on this one. 7 bugs out of 10 garden goblins
I've never been a fan of the song Sweet Dreams. It fits better in the context of the album, and certainly better than Nut Gone Flake. In our dynamic rating system, 5 nightmares out of 10 lizard wizards
Not bad, not bad at all. Crazy that Ogden's Nut came out two years after this. 7 kryptonites out of 10 lizard wizards
Album goes hard. 9 <removed by Marvel>s out of 10 lizard wizards.
I know and dislike too many of these songs. 1 u2 out of nothing
I got the Zuton Fever. Pressure Point goes hard. You Will You Won't falls off. Confusion slows down and stabilizes. Havana Gang Brawl picks it back up. The slide back to chill songs with Railroad. Alright I don't think this album ever makes a comeback from there...hold in Dirty Dancehall though. Actually meh back half. 6 aliens out of 10 lizard wizards.
Parts of this album goes harder than it has any right to. 7 ?s out of 10 lizard wizards
He's got some good points here. 6 roberts out of 10 lizard wizards
This album is a weird one. I hated Luckie. Then each song was growing on me as the album went on. Finish the album and look back at how there were some bops. Now here I am listening to the album again and enjoying Luckie. Crazy. 8 lizard wizards out of 10 lizard wizards. Can't for the Laura Nyro and King Gizz combo album. Edit: 7 listens later and I'm still coming back
"Next" - What the fuck did I just listen to.
0 Scott out of 100 Walkers.
We get it, it's the stones. 6 Gaias out of 10 lizard wizards
Some mid beats. 5 missing persons-duran durans out of 10 lizard wizards
Boring on the first listen, a bit better on the second. 6 not lizards out of 10 lizard wizards
Dinosaur Jr. is an American rock band formed in Amherst, Massachusetts, in 1984. The band was founded by J Mascis (guitar, vocals, primary songwriter), Lou Barlow (bass, vocals), and Murph (drums). After three albums on independent labels, the band earned a reputation as one of the formative influences on American alternative rock. Creative tension led to Mascis firing Barlow, who later formed Sebadoh and Folk Implosion. His replacement, Mike Johnson, came aboard for three major-label albums. Murph eventually quit, with Mascis taking over drums on the band's albums before the group disbanded in 1997. The original lineup reformed in 2005, releasing five albums thereafter.
6 Dragons out of 10 Lizard Wizards
Certainly they have better albums, right? Not terrible though. 6 Lord of Lightning vs the Balrog out of 10 Lizard Wizards
Ah yes, a classic album for the classic music listener. Both ahead of it's time and left in the past at the same time. 5 Time Before Timelands out of 10 Lizard Wizards
Yeah I'm Tom Wait-ing for a good song. Not many dogs out of 10 lizard wizards
Has some ups, has some downs. Not that bad though. 7 Zed Zed Tops out of 10 Lizard Wizards
Cool chill vibes
Hmmm. "Haha funny album", sure, but how does this end up as one of the 1001 essential albums? I'm starting to think the real joke is the 1001 albums we listen to along the way. 0 garden goblins out of 10 wait was it agains
It's a fun album. 6 We're Only In It For The Money out of 10 Lizard Wizards
Funky longplays. Not enough to keep me coming back, but enjoyable. 6 Dripping Taps out of 10 Lizard Wizards
Rating this only 1 star more than We're Only In It For the Money feels criminal, but I can't justify a bump to 3 stars. Just a mediocre boring album. 4 Laminated Denims out of 10 Lizard Wizards
Good voice and has some cool jazzy backing it up. Not for me though. 5 robot stops out of 10 lizard wizards
I like the energy and feel it's got going for it. It just never hit a banger of a song. Something I would listen to again, but not going out of my way to do so. 6 hog calling contests out of 10 lizard wizards
I went in expecting to hate this, but honestly wasn't that bad. 6 winter beaches out of 10 lizard wizards
The spotify artist image had me all excited for artist full of energy just to be hit with the piano album. Not a terrible album, just feel misled. 6 Piano Mans out of 10 Lizard Wizards
Nothing special, but nothing bad. 6 The Graduate out of 10 Lizard Wizards
Another 6 simple plans out of 10 lizard wizards
Yo it's Newport here, quite the live performance. 6/10 lizard wizards
It's pronounced Liz-Zard Wiz-Zard. 6 flame birds out of 10 wizards
More like Joan Imanottrading this for another album. A Tracy Chapman, fast car, kind of vibe that my younger self would have slightly enjoyed has only grown on me in my elder years. The spotify auto play that started after was also somewhat enjoyable. 7 lightning McQueens out of 10 lizard wizards
Bangers. 8 hanging by a moments out of 10 lizard wizards
The age and recording quality really hold this one back, but still some fun energy. 7 lizards out of 10 wizards
Ba da ba da ba dum. 6 wizards out of 10 lizads
6 Not Brown Eyed Girls out of 10 Lizard Wizards
I can respect the album without loving it entirely. 7 superhero villains out of 10 lizard wizards
I never fully understood the MJ hype. Some good songs here, such as Dirty Diana, but overall the album just isn't for me. 6 Rockmans out of 10 Lizard Wizards
Just felt a bit boring to me. 6 what are we curing out of 10 lizard wizards
I'm not a huge fan of the album overall, the music just isn't for me. I still respect the music on this one though. A Tiny Broken Heart really does break your heart. 7 Gaias out of 10 lizard wizards
Umm excuse me Mr 1001 albums where was my Hanukkah album? Not essential.
Got some jimmy jams on here. 7 wizards out of 10 kizzards
Pre-Giz Giz-Mizzard. 6 Giz Miz Oiz 10 Liz Wiz
I Tried to Hide from the Reverberation of this album. You Don't Know how much I'm going to try to forget Through the Rythym. 4 // 10
Chill album that sits above the slew of mediocre albums on this list. 8 digital blacks out of 10 ziwards
Is it Maverick or is it Iceman? 4 Marty doesn't like music out of 10 gizzards
Kind of just background bangers. 8 take you to church out of 10 wizards of the coast
Above average. 6 "I Don't Know What Happened There Jander"s out of 10 Super Glentendos
I'm sure it's influential and all. 5 slow jam pt1 out of 10 mind fuzz
Fun album. I guess there's some hindsight with the persona and all, but whatever. 8 sorcerers out of 10 lizard wizards
This sort of 80s style music just isn't for me. I'll appreciate its influence and continue on my listening journey. 6 fourth colours out of 10 lizard wizards
Plenty to digest here. Adjusting for the 1001 review scale, 8 ⚖️ out of 10 lizard wizards
8 wizardcuds rated this album a 4 out of 10 lizard wizards
After a hundred some-odd albums, I'm reevaluating my rating structure.
1-2: wanted the album to end
3-4: made it through
5-6: enjoyed probably won't listen again
7-8: enjoyed would listen again
9-10: run that back
Homework sits nicely on the above much of this list currently, with some big influence on the genre. 8 dogs out of 10 lizards
What an album. No whimsy, just darn good music. 9 systems out of 10 digital black
As my fellow 1001 peers have noted, the length of this box set makes it stand out in a daily listen format. Unfortunately the length does not translate to a plethora of smash jazz hits. Twas a different time twith different standards for music. Favorite lyric: Banana banana, Havana Havana. 4 Havana Lizards out of 10 Wizard Lizards
