Christian rockers Switchfoot do the contemporary music. Though they do you a kindness on the opening track Meant To Live by talking around the whole Jesus bit. But goddamn this cheese ball.

Losing My Religion is still a monster hit. Shiny Happy People is also a great tune. The non singles are not super impressive.

Iggy Live bringing the power and the DANGER. Way to antagonize the crowd Iggy, I wish I sounded this good if people were throwing shit at me. 1! 2! FUCK YOU PRICKS! Dude is there a riot happening in the background?! This is an insane record.

RV is a weirdo song. This album is odd sounding, like somewhere between Freaky Styley by the Chili Peppers and the Black Album by Metallica. There's a song called Crack Hitler? come on. And the Easy Cover? this is a hard pass from me, dawg.

This opening track is such a banger. Wow this album is such a sonic blender. They are really taking as many sounds from the 2000's and 2010's as they can. Billy Knows Jamie is a honest to god nu-metal song. And then I Got My Tooth Removed is a thirds wave ska/ carnival polka song? Wow what a cool album.

This is a really cool showcase to see what the punk kids really have. It serves as a fun idea and a challenge to 4 chord bands to ask "What kind of music do you really want to make?"

Yea this is cool but its so outside my regular musical palette that I have no idea what to do with it or what to rate it.

Yea there was a time I thought John Cage was cool too. There is something sort of hauntingly beauty to these songs, see Being It. But boy does this thing overstay its welcome with the bonus tracks, and the closer on the regular album Let's Go Swimming is no prized peach either. Fuck this thing.

Halfway through and this is a down beat indie record like a lot of the rest. I don't have a good ear for this genre and i don't think it has improved after getting through the project. This sounds so very generic. Comforting Sounds is like a downbeat Killers track.

What is this trash? See Eat It Up Worms Hero. This is like a goofy carnival hosted by a stadium rock version of The Smurfs. Why do their vocals sound like that? and that's side 1. Side Two starts with Dirty Boy doing more of the same and boy is that ending vocal harmony held forever. Nurses Whispering Versus is actually a song I can get down with. Wow I am happy that is over.

oh come on. The drum work? incredible. The whole album is basically a sonic time capsule of when pop metal jumped the shark. this is the metal kid equivalent to ska. Mother of christmas I hate that album.

Yea this is absolutely should be on the regular list, but glad it got picked up by the listeners. A real high water mark for nu metal.

Very goth and heavy i guess? Summer Breeze cover was....unexpected. Broadly, I think it falls prey to a really thin 90's metal mix that just doesn't seem to gel sonically.
