I thought Dusty was a country singer! This midmodern pop masterpeice is really beautifully done.

Pitch perfect nineties hiphop. Point of for rampant misogyny.

The Boys have their adolescent swagger in tact, but have added some really impressive musical sensibilities. Their instrumental tracks are more than just a beat! I have a whole new respect for them.

That was nice. I wish I had been there for the cultural phenomenon as I don't get all the hype, but it was still a good listen.

Surprisingly not misogynistic. The forceful early 90's spitting doesn't feel as strange and the beats are great. Amazing hip-hop. I do miss melody, but this transcends

Perfect melodic song writing. Different enough to stand out, simple enough for familiarity. Beautiful.

This is a brilliant album really let down by subpar vocals. The weak tenor and cloudy falsetto are at odds with the stanky bass and machined synthetic perfection. Some incredibly interesting sounds delivered almost perfectly but shakily with the vestiges of human frailty.

Exceptional attitude pace and melody. The Twin songs each under two minutes is genius and I never find myself missing the length. Punk perfection.

Lots of funk, lots of fun

What a fun presentation of an ecclectic mix of music. Rock hard

Simply solid brit pop.

Not sure I get the appeal. Felt like subpar noise rock.

Lacks the polish of later albums, but shows much more adherence to melodic convention while they build our trust to hit us with the weird in the final act. Well done

The clash between the voice and instrumentation and expected subject matter is such fun. Really marvelous.

I just can't get past the voice. This is the first album that I really noticed the song writing, but the voice just turns me away.

Loretta is incredible. The songs are so well crafted, the vocals pitch perfect, and the theming impeccable. I don't care for any of it, but it's masterful.

I feell that Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds offer little more than violence and misery porn disguised as wisdom. Musically they are fine, but nothing special. Their pretention is hollow and their weight unearned.

Truely feels like the begining of the heavy electronica being an obvious novelty but also actually in service to the music. An incredible feat.

It feels like rock calculated for mass appeal. And it works!

Even though I am not fond of Costello's tamber and stylistic idiosyncrasies, his song writing is impeccable. I grew up on this album and it's incredible
