Production is lo-fi but lush. Great horn samples throughout. Melancholic synths create an interesting contrasting background to the otherwise grateful and positive "It Was a Good Day" and sound like they inspired a lot of Kendrick's tracks, like Bitch Don't Kill My Vibe. Lots of commentary about police brutality. "I know it sounds strange but could you stop thinkin with your dick for a change?" Plenty of casual misogyny / objectification of women. *Who Got the Camera

Love a 7-minute opener. Great heavy fuzzy guitars. Acoustic instrumental "Laguna Sunrise" is a lovely change of pace.

Cherub rock best album opener ever? Guitars are huge and fuzzy but also weirdly contained and "neat" - it's not muddy at all. Billy Corgan vocals are one-of-a-kind and obviously iconic. Lead guitar often does a fun call-and-response or pairing with the vocals. Bells and strings in "Disarm"! Insane production quality. *Cherub rock, oh my god *Solo midway through "Quiet" *Hummer

Opening still gives me chills. What a journey. I need to process. This was the first time I was still really paying attention during "Psalm" - what a beautiful piece of music. Feels presumptuous to even try to use my clumsy words to describe this masterpiece.

"So I turned myself to face me But I've never caught a glimpse..." Love how piano-forward this album is. *Eight-line poem
