Rips. Can still remember the thrill of first hearing Know Your Product about 20 or so years ago. Not a perfect album but when it's good, it's pure energy

Don't like this as much as other Eno albums from the era but still some great moments - Fripp's solo on St Elmo's Fire!!!

I saw YYYs around the time this was released and they were fantastic, still has a great swagger and energy to it. Maps is an all-timer

Precious is an alltime great opener, and the spikier tracks here are fantastic - really playing into Hynde's sass. Sags in the middle and end sadly, Brass in Pocket aside

Some of this is woeful (the Durst collab, Earache my Eye), but when it's good it hits hard. Not my favourite Korn but glad I revisited

Still stands up, consistent throughout and 50s slightly lazy flow continues to be super listenable. The mega budget production bangs and In Da Club is an all-timer. Limited subject matter but you know what you're walking into with this, better than I feared

Rated 8/10

Find it dodgy that Tyler was basically my age at time of recording and singing about teenage girls, but this bangs in the main. Don't think Perry gets the respect he deserves as a guitarist, riffs galore.

NGL this bangs. I lived through the Ed Banger years and by the time this came out I was kind of done with the entire sound but relistening close to 20 years on the level of craft to the production is pretty clear.

The Stillness is the Move!!!! What a song. Took a while for the album to click into place, but when it did I was totally won over.

weird album, lots of echoes of other stuff in this strange dubby, acid-house dream - Sound & Vision, Twin Peaks

Same exceptional tracks on here (Hurt is overplayed but sure, it's the best version - LOVE the Sting cover I Hung My Head), but there's filler and the "We'll Meet Again" singalong at the end is cringe
