An album I've constantly heard about but never actually listened to. I would see it posted almost every day on /mu/. One of the better Progressive Rock albums I've listened to. Definitely better than any Yes or Nektar album I've heard... Might even be better than DSOTM, or maybe I've just listened to that one too many times.
Not quite my pace. But seems like a solid album.
One of the weaker Talking Heads albums in my opinion. Has a some good songs, but the music doesn't carry the same punch as, say, Remain in Light... Which queued up after this album and the vibe was so noticeably different
Certainly a competent album, but I can’t help but feel like among its contemporaries this album fails to be transgressive enough to hold my attention. I got a little excited by the song English Rose, as it started to add more depth to the albums sound, and it’s a good song, but everything just flattens out after. Just sounds like… how do I say… Brit slop. Like The Clash with no edge.
Very emotional. I enjoyed this
I definitely didn’t NEED to listen to this before I die, as the book this list is based on suggests. The Doors songs are so hit or miss. Couple decent songs on the album, but I’m fine not listening to this one again.
I've only ever known The Verve from that one song. You know the one. So I was shocked when I heard something by them that wasn't saccharin and annoying. In fact, I quite literally enjoyed it. The last song was incredible. Not bad!!
Some music just wasn't made for me
Ya’ll mind if a white boy get a lil quirky in here?
Four libtards from California larping as hicks from the bayou, and it’s never sounded better
THE quintessential pop punk album. Not my favorite by Green Day, but it is in my opinion the most approachable and cohesive album from their raw era.
Fav track: Pulling Teeth
An album with a goal, clearly stated on the album cover: "...to combine Western and Indian music into a new form... that is melodious and touching". The problem is, it fails at this in a few different ways... It's mostly either awkward covers of western songs, or just Indian music with a synthesizer meandering around the mix. It just doesn't work... Except once. Track 4, Mamata, truly is a melodious and touching song that blends the two styles into a new form. It's beautiful. If the album were full of songs that hit the mark like this, it would rate very highly for me.
Fav track: Mamata, obviously.
Seriously out of all the great pop albums released in the last decade, this is what we get on the list?
It’s boring, uninventive, low energy slop pop
Fav song: No Body, No Crime because she shouted out Olive Garden and I took my beautiful girlfriend there once and the lasagna was pretty good
A good album full of overplayed songs. It’s seriously a shame, I would rate this higher in a vacuum
