A monolith of hard rock, perhaps the tightest record ever produced. Folk elements are also grand.

The perfect post-hardcore record. Tension, release, texture. I can't even describe how brilliant this album has always been to me. Top 10 maybe.

This is an absolutey excellent record the only failing of which is the band that made it. That's not to disrespect Can, but to raise up their other work - which trumps Future Days. That's quite a feat considering how rock solid this album is. 4 stellar Krautrock tracks that serve as a great intro to the genre, you can't get much better. But Can, can.

There's something about late blur that I just can't stand. It's like they're trying desperately to be edgy and experimental and it's just falls falt. 13 manages it to an alright standard - in fairness - but beyond just you get records like this. Full of shlock that runs out it's welcome very quickly. Some odd redeeming tracks but overall a bit of a messy one.

Very, very hesitant. But there's some good on it. Kinda very forgettable at times though.

Couple of standouts but this is very proto for talking heads. Cool to hear some of the ideas that would go so far in later releases though.

Eh fine. I like some of Roxy Musics output but I can never fully immerse myself in it seemingly.

Very melancholic and toned down. Will have to relisten to catch the lyrics but I enjoyed it a bunch more than I did a few years ago.

Decent but none of the tracks stuck with me. The West Coast style of production always ends up leaving a lot to be desired in my eyes.

Very solid airy goth album. Always been a fan of a few key tracks like Kick In The Eye - which sounds incredible. Some others are rather forgetful though.

On the version I listening to they have Neil Young featured in one of the bonus tracks like some sort of MCU post-credit scene for the CSNY lineup which I find amusing.

Pleasant but not memorable, Production gets a shout for it's smoothness - but aside from that I don't see myself rushing back.

Was expecting a bit more. Intresting as an early post punk record but I found it a bit boring to be honest.

Didn't enjoy half as much as Funeral. It's alright but just less appealing.

Eh. Not too bad but I was not massively impressed by it either.

Probably the most hostile and abrasive rock album that doesn't stray into metal territory. Every element in these recordings - from the searing guitars to Albini's strained vocals and disturbing lyrics make it a near wince-inducing listen - and for that I adore it.

Pleasantly surprised me. Wasn't expecting to enjoy a foos record as much as I did but this was actually pretty tasteful.

Kickass record. First side is brilliantly manic, second moody and depressive. Both come together to make what is possibly the best post-punk record of all time.

Smooth and fun. Never overly impressive but very enjoyable.

Not really a fan. Boring and derivative.
