At first listen I thought this was pretty decent but the more I came back to it the more it bored me. An album of iconic sounds from iconic bands that never meets the quality of what it's copying.

The band are absolute masters of saying absolutely nothing with their lyrics. Vague, meaningless rubbish that's so general it's impossible to feel a connection to what's being said.

Just because an album is influential, doesn't mean it's good.

Rated 4/10

I'm surprised I didn't enjoy this more. For an album with such grand, dense instrumentation and lush production, it often felt like it was going nowhere she saying nothing. Many of the songs felt like I was just waiting for them to end.

A couple of really great and fun songs but suffers from too much samey-ness. I appreciate the DIY vibe of the production and the highlights really shine, but by the time you get to the end of the album it's all a bit bland

A total masterpiece. Each don't is so bright and full of life, the musicians are feeling it, the crowd is feeling it.
The tracklisting is perfectly paced, moving through smooth soft blues to electrifting jazz that feels like you've been hit by lightning, all while never tiring you out.
The introductions and crowd noise is the perfect reminder that jazz is best experience live and it does it's best job of trying to put you there in the room. I cannot say enough good things about this album, an all time must listen.
