Damn, so that's where "the funk, the whole funk, and nothing but the funk" comes from. What a groovy album, gahdam.

Some bangers like "Take Me Out" or "Dark of the Matinée". Other hits like "Darts of Pleasure" are slept on. FF cooked with their debut.

Very experimental, most likely a lot of drugs were consumed during its production. Some lovely songs like "Pale Blue Eyes" or "Beginning to See the Light". Overall a bit of a downer, but maybe it's better to take some LSD and blast it. Side note: I still can't believe Lou Reed did this, and then went on to make the abomination known as Lulu. Uuuugh.

It's pretty nice, a few catchy songs.

Great debut album, had a nice couple of tracks. You can really tell how much it influenced later bands.

Legendary. Absolutely incredible, from start to finish.

It's ok, great guitar solos and some catchy songs. But seriously, best-selling album of 1976? 41st best live album of all time? In the Grammy Hall of Fame? Seems to me quite overrated, honestly. Also, hated the Jumpin' Jack Flash cover.
