Listening statistics & highlights
What a bop!
I can appreciate that this is a critically “good” album but omg it’s not my style. I can see the influence of Bowie on artists I love—Pulp (Party Hard) and Belle and Sebastian (Stay Loose) but I can’t connect to his vocals. I did like “Speed of life” and “Sound and Vision”—both tracks that are worth returning to especially on a drive .
I don’t think I realised how familiar this band would be before listening. I’ve definitely danced to Psychokiller before, not realizing it was a TH song, but after listening here, I was excited to revisit bands like Orange Juice and a lot of early-aughts post-punk (The Rapture, etc.) just for the vibes.
This album is absolutely beautiful. I don’t usually listen to live albums—the FOMO is too much but—I’m so glad I got to listen to this one. I only know the James Brown songs that everyone else knows. But some of his more soulful songs like “Lost Someone” are just… phenomenal. It makes me think of the desperation of some Jonathan Richman songs; raw and authentic.
By men for men. By cult leaders for cult leaders. The soundtrack to Magic the Gathering.
