sounds good. all in brazilian, so I have no idea what they're talking about. sounds like: the beatles, love, the zombies,etc.

this is the soundtrack to my early 2000s life

Banger. I ain't the one, tuesday's gone, gimme three steps, freebird.

Freebird was my class song in high school. . . lol

This came out in 1989, but it's totally new to me.

Sounds pretty currrent (2023). Ethereal. Distortion. Paced.

Easy to hear the Velvet Underground influence.

Man, makes me think about high school. Dude named Matt King was a big REM fan. Gives me an honor roll music vibe.

Album is good. Still stands up.

lol. . .the song that autoplayed after the album as God's Country by U2. Funny cause I was in a play with Matt called God's Country back in the day.

Alright album. Can hear the influence it had. Velvet Underground, Can, Yo La Tengo, etc.

Totally not what I expected. Way more melodic (is that the right term? I dunno). And not super heavy or thrash. I guess this is a good album to see the transition from regular old rock to heavy metal?

Band complained about production values. I listened to 2015 remaster. It's not bad but kinda flat.

meh. not a big "wings" fan. Here're the neat things I learned on wikipedia:

they recorded part of this in Lagos, Nigeria. Paul wanted to record it somewhere exotic. He got held up at knifepoint. Lost a bunch of demos and lyrics. Went back to England.

Two dudes quit the band before he left for Lagos, so Paul filled in their parts.

roarAAAAARRRRRRroarROOAAAAAAARRRRRRRRR

Saw the documentary on this when it came out (~2004).

I mean it's Brian Wilson. What do you say?

good stuff

You can hear its influence. esp RHCP
Song called Toadies - did they get their name here? Jackass theme song "Corona"??
Don't look now - cool live song

Pedo

fuck yeah

I guess this was important to "trip-hop?" Listened to remastered version on tidal.

meh.

verrry sensible rock and roll. commercially sexy, clearly staying safe. whole album sounds uninteresting and the same. similar to other commercial schlock from early 2000s: maroon 5, coldplay, killers, john mayer. ugh

not my cup o' tea.

Golden Years is on this one. Not dated, but sounds very 70's. Bass forward, longer songs around 5-10 minutes each. Beautiful music and voice. David Bowie used the persona: Thin White Duke for this album. He also did a ton of coke during this period.

meh. dated. lyrics are pretty whiny, but good production value and music. Change your mind is good.
