Fun on a bun.

It is precisely what is on the label. Self-indulgent and fun but sort of loses itself in a sea of same from time-to-time. The bright spots are in the last several tracks for me. As for the former? My feeling are similar to a Silver Jews lyric: "the stars don't shine upon us, we're just in the way of their light"

Violator is one of my favorite albums. This is a lot like listening to violator but in the next apartment.

I remember enjoying this more but I felt it was a little overwrought in several areas. It's nice when a Byrd's song is around. A whole flock can be a bit much.

Just a bit to proto for me.

As one gets older one maybe slides slightly away from nirvana and towards the inevitable Pearl Jam.

Punk rock as all hell and with wild beats for the time. Loved it.

Decent lil ambient album.

I like rush and this is a classic.

Can't help myself. I love this album.

There is only one and it's him. Weight and humor in absurd but equal measure. I'm not even a real fanatic but I have so much respect for his ability.

Didn't like this as much as the first Nick cave album I drew here. Feels a little more murdery than the last. Maybe I just wasn't in the mood?

Awesome early work.

Great alt rock album.

Slow and heavy and cold. So unusual for the era. A real showcase of style over talent. Fun without being too serious about it.

I never really understood what made Neil Young popular or lauded. This recording sounds like it was taken from the next room over, the music (aside from sedan delivery) isn't wildly innovative for the time, and lyrically it feels only fine. Maybe it isn't for me?

Upbeat and weird like no one else.

Classic.

Certainly of an era.

I liked that the fusion ran more towards African beats than Brazilian dance pop. This is a record I'd leave on if it was randomly playing. I think it's sort of a mood elevator musically. Can't comment on the lyricism as I don't speak the language.
