fav: Glory Box
Will revisit, I loved the vibe so much, even though I walked away with only one fav, something was so eery about it and so melodic.
favs: lets stay together, how can you mend a broken heart and it aint no fun to me. sunday listens with fam hit the best.
fav: A Forest
I don’t think I was into this that much. Which is surprising because I thought I would be into something described as gothic and electronic.
This was a no brainer, just good time all around.
fav: More than a Feeling, Piece of Mind
Holiday must have
fav: Common people ofc
Other than that, the rest didn’t scratch that itch and honestly had me cringing. Music was great tho, lyrics didn’t hit.
For me personally it is probably more 2.5/5 than 3/5.
Some sequences were screechy. The whole of Hello morning, where they presumably were tuning the instruments. Unpleasant. Those noisy parts disturbed and successfully invited chaos. But then it picks u,p and you can jam to it energetically. I both enjoyed it and hated some parts. Like the ending to Duel in the Deep (or Longstockings beginning) that just sounds like a teapot whistle, not for me.
favs: Assassins, Dracula Mountain
Least fav: 2 Towers was 2 Repetitive for me. Duel in the Deep.
fav: Beetlebum.
Diverse album, with sounds and ideas. Enjoyed the music very much.
Stories of working class and troubled relationships with fathers - shoot it up my veins, right now.
I like the little titbit that people noticed, that every song on side one of the original LP has a corresponding track on side two in the same sequence.
Favs: Badlands, Adam Raised a Cain, Factory, Prove It All Night, Darkness on the Edge of Town
Sounds like it was fun to play, great tunes.
Favs: Laughing, What Are Their Names, Traction in the Rain
Also, the banger lyrics on this album, simple and ageless.
For example:
I thought I met a man
who said he knew a man
Who knew what was going on
…
I was mistaken, only a child laughing in the sun
(bonus points for shivers when Joni chimes in)
