turns into a john carpenter soundtrack for the second half

mixed feelings here. I listened to a lot of u2 in the 80s-90s. With this album, u2 retired the mcphisto persona (which was fascinating!) and took a totally different direction. It's like we broke up on good terms; they "walked on" and I tuned in more to radiohead, etc.

Not a bad album by any means, but not the formative music that built our relationship.

I listened to this about 5:30 in the AM and it didn't do anything for me. but I re-listened later and looked up some info on what's going on with the guitars. time and education helped.

dope album. wildflowers is a classic. but if this was playing on a turntable, I'd play half the songs on 45 rpm.

And when they harmonize, I want to pick out and appreciate each of their voices singularly. It's like taking the three best bottles of wine you can find and mixing them together.

really good album

sounds like Gotye "borrowed" the beat for that song from here

always thought this album cover was Bill the Cat

waiting for the night is very pretty

pet peeve of mine is when people cover "Tonight Will Be Fine" in a slow tempo.

please stop

not for me. It's just style over substance, but the style is predictable and borrowed. so the lack of substance has nothing to hid behind.

I imagine them writing songs struggling to find a rhyme for "me," so they just end up rhyming it "me," saying the mood will carry the song, and calling it a day.

that first track was a single? swedes are chill af

Classic!! takes me back to 2ManyDJs mix of 9 to 5 with Eple

that guys voice is a lot. . . band seems decent tho

maybe better as an instrumental album?

too many soft edges. there's a song at the end that wakes up a bit, but otherwise . . meh

girl we couldn't get much HIGHER

it's hard to put into perspective what it meant to say FU to Ed Sullivan.

cool concept. well executed

if you ask yo-self: what is dis?
like curious, like curious, like curious jawwge!!

they played this soo much in the late 90s. like soo, soo much.

I'd like to see this replaced with any album by little simz.

it's been 30+ years and I still can't listen to fire and rain all the way through

Learned about them and blood harmony on the cocaine and rhinestone podcast. Good stuff
