Really enjoyed the jammier, longer tunes. Great three track run: Lookin’ Out My Back Door, Run Through the Jungle and Up Around the Bend.
Favourite track: I Heard It Through The Grapevine
Least favourite: Ooby Dooby
Favourite songs: Suite, Wooden Ships. Stephen Stills is the secret sauce here.
Least fav: Lady of the Island
Favourite songs: Have a Cigar, Wish You Were Here. Really hard to pick a least fav. I grow to appreciate David Gilmour with each day.
Some nice dirty riffs but I feel like this doesn’t stand out from the other post-grunge music of the time. Fav track: I’ll Stick Around.
Look, it’s a decent debut. I feel if you can detach any Nirvana comparisons, you’ll appreciate it a lot more.
Had no clue what to expect but I was hooked from the first song, easily one of the best for me. Side A is stronger. The Side B, funkier tracks don’t really do it for me. Fav tracks: Love and Affection, Down to Zero
Smoooooth. Only four songs but all bangers
Do people talk about this album in the same breath at Pet Sounds? Really poppy, chamber-like music about love - surely people are holding this in the same regard? Fav songs: Time of the Season, Care of Cell 44 and This Will Be Our Year
This was fine. Feels like a Britpop Jet but earlier. Fav songs: Caught by the Fuzz, Lenny
This was nice. Some great folk tunes but I feel his voice just doesn’t suit the more bluesy tracks
Really underrated thrash album. The riffs are so tight and the drumming here stands out too. Subtraction and Altered States were two that just stood out while driving
Fine, some nice instrumentation but didn’t move me. I pushed through this. Fav track: Siberian Khatru
‘Kill You’ almost made me turn off the album. ‘Stan’ is such a better song. A few of the lyrics come across as too ‘edgy’. Maybe because in 2000’s it wasn’t? Now, I feel like a lot of these lyrics belong on a bad TikTok music compilation. Beats are good but couldn’t finish
This is not as bad as people say. Great bangers but probably too ambitious (aka long). Fav song: Sisters of the Moon
This album makes me want to move to the swamp, get a pet gator, cook jambalaya and learn the mysteries of the bayou. Atmospheric, groovy. Loved it
Groovy instrumental music. Definitely more to it than the title track.
