This would be one of my all time fave albums if the end half was as good as the first.

Another not great album to cap off a week of not great albums. Only 3 stars cos of the title track.

Rated 10/10

Not yet heard a better mainstream pop album. It really is flawless. Also a very important album to me in making my teenage self realise you could like Radiohead and pop music at the same time.

Rated 10/10

Massively influential for alt rock and massively influential on my music taste ever since I heard the song Debaser on skate 3. I love how unhinged it is, it’s impossible to predict how the next song will sound.

1984Van Halen

Rated 4/10

What an awful album cover. The music itself doesn’t redeem it.

It should be illegal to put a song that good as the opening track and then follow it up with an hour of music that is not nearly as good and also very different in style.

The contrast between the album title and its cover is hilarious. Never properly listened to beach boys but had heard a few of their hits before. This is very different to those and I think I prefer this slightly darker sound.
