i feel like this would go crazy if my mind was altered but as it stands this was an enjoyable listen for a walk on a spring day. horns on track 1 came on when i was mindlessly staring at a woman's ass and suddenly i was the (fav:) 21st century schizoid man
i’m not like… a musician so i can’t speak to that aspect of this but i don’t think i listened to it at the right time. it’s pretty and tranquil but maybe just not for me. fav: shhh / peaceful (was hard to split these tracks up fsr)
i just like david byrne’s vibes, he sounds like the inside of my skull feels like when i’m in crisis. would listen again. fav: cities
i like the doors but there's a reason my only record is a compilation album. fav: peace frog
good for chilling in lingerie (alone or with a friend). fav: miles runs the voodoo down
kind of like listening to a randy newman except i don't particularly want to do it again. fav: rockin' chair. i too miss ol virginny.
realistically a 3.5/5... enema squad was a low point, doodoo chasers gotta chill out fr. fav: cholly
love being able to go from a track with appreciable silence to some lower fidelity wailing and wanna dance around to both. some goldilocks type shit. anyway i'm back in my white stripes era ty jack white!! fav: fell in love with a girl (honorable mention to we're going to be friends)
now when one of the three songs i've heard before comes on at a bar i can smugly think to myself "ah, creedence clearwater revival." fav: commotion
sonic the hedgehog's fav green day album, probably. a little puerile but so am i. fav: basket case
feel like austin powers woulda gone crazy for this one tbh. fav: metamorphosis
songs for people whose notions of eroticism were primarily informed by fingering scenes in "spicy" dark fantasy. genuinely unpleasant listening experience. fav: long story short (i guess)
going to sound fake but this takes me back to sitting in a jazz club but like. better music than what i heard that night. waist-touching, absinthe-sipping type of album. fav: trio and group dancers
genuinely there are a lot of fun tracks on this album i forgot about, and i think i really might be subject to nostalgia for this sound but i think this is a pretty solid cover to cover listen for all modes of transit. staring wistfully out a bus window? jenny was a friend of mine. walking with a lil pep in my step? on top. drunken taco bell parking lot karaoke? mr brightside. driving? idk i can't drive, someone else can say. fav: duh... (mr brightside)
solid breakup album for walking alone on the dark, but tbh feels bigger than that? like i feel like this should be watched on a stage. really moving and interesting to listen to. also who hurt bork like that god dam fav: notget
not especially interesting to me, kind of forgettable--i'm also not really a fan of the frontman's voice. an album better suited to walking on a sunny day than sitting on the bus. fav: pop song 89
this album has a lot of tracks i really enjoy! love a man not afraid to say what he needs to say in a <~2 minute track and gtfo. plus, i've always loved elvis costello's vocal performance--not just the quality of is voice but the persona he creates with it is very fun. crazy his government is "declan" tho. fav: sneaky feelings (hon. mention to i'm not angry)
v fun, high energy record. i am def guilty of only knowing "alright" from a car commercial or something but it isn't even the standout track of this album imo. i can see myself returning to most of these songs, particularly the first 2/3 of this album. i'd give it a 4.5 if i could, but i can't in good conscience give this a 5 for the rancid minion voice song. fav: lose it
yeah yeah yeahs are an easy sell for me in general and this is a good "i'm a hot girl walking at night" album, but for me this has more frequent low points than fever to tell which is imo a cover to cover listen every time. i like your music better when you're rowdier, karen! fav: dull life
while hearing men sing about forgiveness isn't really what i'm feeling at this stage of my life, crown of love stuck the landing and i wish it stayed on that final movement longer. that was kind of a theme for this album--i started getting excited about number of songs after being unmoved for a few minutes only for them to end. feels like it would hit a lot harder if if i had any nostalgia for it (but i cannot help that when i hear the opening to wake up without kind of rolling my eyes). fav: betrayal
my ignorant ass did Not know where half the samples in work it came from. anyway i enjoyed this for what it was, but i tend to prefer 90s/00s hip hop. spoiled myself and looked at matt's review and yeah it's a little cheesy in 2026 but that can be a vibe,,, fav: it's tricky (sorry)
i don't think i've ever felt like the beginning of an album was so abrupt?? i don't know if it's just the version i listened to or what. i was quite back and forth with this one, literally from track to track. overall imo side B was a better listen. fav: moondance
a decent album in that i enjoyed the energy as a whole and fucked with some of the tracks but i don't know that i would return to it as a complete album. i am less into the reggae-heavy tracks--it's just not a genre i've ever been drawn to and i imagine if i wanted to give it a real try i would not turn to sting first. fav: on any other day
i now truly understand the seductive power of a good falsetto. tended to prefer the shorter songs (typical for me) but enjoyed the entire listen. fav: yearnin' learnin'
often listen to these without a track listing and was floored i was hearing "bodhisattva" correctly. i get why they're a big deal, i really enjoyed a lot of the instrumentals, always lively and pleasant for idle/routine activity. fav: king of the world
new order is a band i listen to with some frequency but the only cover to cover listen i've done is of a greatest hits album i picked up. i get the vibe that this album is a bit less gloomy than their others from what else i've heard, but i'm not mad at it. will be exploring more actual albums in the future. fav: guilty partner
i think i like the b-52s; two vocalists who do weird interesting shit with their performances, fun wacky subject matter on some songs. i dig the instrumentals, too--easy to move your body to. fav: rock lobster… sorry
manchild indeed. this is giving losercore (derogatory); i feel like there's some potential sonically, i enjoyed the weird spoken word bit in track 2. self-pitying pick-me boy malarkey is not done here in a way that works for me, spoils the vibes of something otherwise tolerable. self-loathing i will indulge but self-pity? higher bar. fav: mental
a cover to cover listen every time, has several bona fide bangers we all know but everything in between gels well imo and makes for a solid experience. i do gotta say it's always kinda jarring when a voice like That comes out of a twink. fav: broken/head over heels
listening to earlier stuff appreciate the beatles a bit more because honestly their big songs are so so so commercial and oversaturated it's hard to listen without a little cynicism or jadedness. i know i've said that about other artists but the beatles are king(s) of this for me. snappy saccharine love song after love song worked well for the beginning of this album, for me at least. fav: it won't be long (but money goes hard as a walk-in for an alimony hearing)
kind of impressed that changes is on this album? kind of a wild vibe shift for a third track even if it wasn’t really a high point for me on the album. there instrumental tracks were well placed imo and under the sun was a solid way to wrap things up but i don't know if i'd return to this as a whole. also i felt like jack black in school of rock the whole time i listened to this. fav: supernaut
really love the instrumentals here and fw the lead vocals even though the lyrics usually didn't resonate with me. the ambiance the former two things were able to create makes for very good "i am a hot and very cool woman" listening. feeling like rouge the bat in dry lagoon. fav: glory box
conscious hip hop is something i can certainly appreciate listening to but with the approach i’d take to reading a legit novel or watching a good film. like, i’m not returning to this for warm fuzzies but i appreciate the artistry behind it. in this case, i even sat through the credits. anyway shout out to all the internet sites, shout out to my mom for giving me these jbl earbuds so i could listen to music, shout out to beatrice she supports me emotionally, shout out to the guy riding his bike on the sidewalk even though the street is empty, shout out to my entire printmaking class, shout out to my department, shout out to my friends for doing the 1001 album challenge (fav: american terrorist)
