Cool album, I definitely hear them as a precursor to the Pixies especially in the vocals.

I generally preferred the shorter, snappier songs, though Cool Drink of Water Blues, which most people seemed to dislike, I liked quite a lot.

Reminds me of the White Stripes at some points, Beck at others. Not great, not terrible.

Pretty woozy, someone described it as like waking up from anaesthesia which is apt.

I have 604 albums left, there must be some more 5 star new-to-me albums, I'm dreading how many filler albums like this I have left.

Rated 4/10

I'd rather have listened to Ride's Going Blank Again.

Rated 8/10

People on this site hate industrial music for some reason. This is good!

CloserJoy Division

Rated 6/10

I liked Joy Division a lot as a teenager, but I found this a little dull listening in 2025. Maybe I'm just happier now?

I almost always listen all the way through, but I turned this off after No Good (Attack the Radical). Maybe one of the last four songs is good. I'll never know, this was just so monotonous and boring.

Apparently Todd Rundgren was influenced by Laura Nyro, that makes sense. Both have good moments, but mostly everything is too hectic and too much is going on at once to really latch onto anything.

Black MetalVenom

Rated 4/10

Black metal... black metal... black metal... black metal... black metal... black metal...

The lyrics and delivery are just too goofy for me.
