An all time classic for a reason. I think it's a specific mood listen for me, and the lower production quality paired with simple riffs I think cap it's potential at times. Overall though, it's punk, raw, emotional, and memorable. I was surprised by how many songs I knew.
I can't believe she copied Luke Combs 🙄
I can't imagine how hard this went in '62. Imagine being a kid and bopping to this beautifully produced vibe.
Meh. Not my thing. Kinda boring
Edit: back half is growing on me, still not totally sold
Never heard of it, but some banger country/folk music.
Nothing too crazy, but some solid 70s pop rock. Fun jams, catchy tunes, pizzazz
Interesting. Feels like diet Bjorn. Not bad, but not something I would regularly listen to.
I'm torn. On the one hand, it's the epitome of vapid hair metal at the tail end of the 80's. On the other hand, my inner 12/50 year old really vibe with it.
A beautiful cathartic album. The culmination of almost 40 years of Brian's journey. And a fascinating exploration into childhood trauma and wonder, with added layers of legacy sprinkled on top. The well crafted harmonies, broad range of instruments, and musical themes throughout make it feel almost like a play or a composition at times.
Knew none of the songs going in. Pleasantly surprised by how consistently good their sound is, a unique blend of almost grungy tone and lilting melodies, unique structure, and just a joy to hear. What kiss wishes they were.
4 is maybe a little generous but man they can shred like crazy. Great stage presence, high quality recording, fun all the way through.
