Some cool clasic rock right here. Bass work is pretty impressive on Billion Dollar Babies. No More Mr. Nice Guy is a boomer anthem. do i really want to relisten to alice cooper sing about fucking corpses? I guess not really.

This is a cool record. Really an innovative sound to get the whole british alternative punk scene going. Though not so divorced from the British punk sound that you couldn't say have a Clash Banshees bill, which would be sick.

eh this is kind of a let down.

dude what in the hell? Rue des Tempetes rocks. The title track is cool. It oscillated between like motorhead style metal and french cafe music in a post apocalyptic steampunk universe. I can see this music scratching a very very specific itch.

ehhhhhh more PJ Harvey grunge. Not my thing. which is a terrible conclusion to come to in the first 3 songs because there are 14 on the album and now its just a drag. The mix is reallllly bad.

This doesnt have quite the fire that Folsom Prison does, though the reprise of San Quentin is nice. A Boy Named Sue is a great tune.

I think its a really cool expirament in modern hip-hop. M.I.A is not afraid to take lots of textures and make them more than just samples. kind of reminds me of the genre soup style of the 60s.

Dress was the first song I connected with on the album. Its a pretty solid, grungey sound. I'm not super taken with the mix though, as the vocals are wayyyy in the back. Joe is another strong song.

This is a fun electronica album.

This is kinda cool. The influence on Nirvana was awseome to hear.

I mean Come On, Eileen is one of those songs in the rock and roll firmament. And there is some cool stuff in this. Jackie Wilson Said is a killer. Listening to this on Youtube is a bear. man its a shame this album got lost in the sauce because of Come On, Eileen. This was a great record!

Natalie's Party is a warm starter. In fact it's kind of just a warmed over kind of album.

OOOOO time for the slicked up stylings of some Scandos. Honestly, Dancing Queen isn't the single that it should be, and a lot of these songs are overly polished. Tiger has some teeth. Fernando is also good. But honestly, the singles are stronger than the sum of this one's parts.

They got me asking "Who's that lady?" The grooves are butter smooth and the vocal work is excellent. The cover of Listen To The Music is just F I L T H Y! This album is great.

Okay, let's go. Okay, it went.

It's the blues.

4 tracks and hardly sany information about the album on wikipedia. Ok! Cool In The Pool is an extended funk vamp with various instruments coming in and out. Oh Lord, Give Us More Money is a journey, though I am not sure where to. Persian Love is super cool, but Hollywood Symphony is super out there to start. And stays out there. W/e I had a fun time with this one.

This is getting old at track 5.

Sex On Fire and Use Somebody were almost impossible to escape growing up, and they are a big one-two. This band is actually a lot more mellow than their singles might suggest. I Want You is a surprising tune. Cold Desert is the closer on this album that I think it deserves. This one is right on the cusp for me. the middle is largely overshadowed by the singles but I think the whole thing is sonically complete.

Easiest 5 star I have given so far. An album I am so familiar with, it's an old friend to me.
