Fantastic sampling and classic 90s rapping. Plus that cover just rules.

Chill but danceable at the same time. I just love the vibe of this album so much.

This album is just way too 80s pop for my tastes. Which makes sense, as an 80s pop album.

Love me some psych rock and extended jams are my jam so this was right up my alley. The side B tracks are great too.

Relaxing but still upbeat alt-country. I think Lambchop got more interesting later on but there's no denying that that started here.

Interesting chill hip hop. Kind of gives me Radiohead or Dan the Automator vibes. Not really sure what makes this 'essential' though honestly as much as I enjoy it.

Chill vibes and really nice acoustic instrumentation. I never really got into Beck for whatever reason in spite of liking a lot of similar music but I dig this album.

Really varied both instrumentally and vocally. I love the focus on live instrumentation. The lyrics are great too.

Great grunge album with lots of swagger. Good music to maybe murder your spouse to

Interesting intermediary sounding album between new wave and more experimental post rock sound of their later stuff. Some cool instrumental flourishes throughout.

This album fucking slays (pun intended). One of my favorite thrash albums of all time. Great way to wake up in the morning on a day when you've been up since 4am.

Enjoyed the funkier aspects when it got there but the more soul parts lost me. Solid mixing though.

Interesting, varied production. Pretty fun pop album even if it's not the type of thing I'd normally listen to.

Really digging the vibes on this album. Romantic and a bit cheesy but relatable and catchy af. Lots of great synth work.

Chill, lush album. I definitely think Spiritualized got better after this but it's a really solid debut nonetheless.

Not really my thing. Lyrics are kinda cringey and the instrumentation is very flat.

Fun if somewhat slight power pop. Really elevated by the lyrics though.

One of the greatest prog albums of all time.

Banging post-punk with funny but still meaningful lyrics. Definitely can see the influence down the line.

What can even be said about the title track here. One of the greatest songs ever written. The rest of the album is no slouch either though. Certainly one of the best Beatles solo albums.
