YESSSSS! JACO!!!!! Every song on here is beautiful and I love this mess. Teen Town kills it. Havona is so good. Damn this album is just so tight.

All right let's get this over with. Though to be fair to these guys this album is stacked with hits. Its only a question if you like this genre. If you do, this album is heaven. If you don't mind it, its fine. If you hate the genre this thing is dogshit. For me this is somewhere between a barn party with my uncles and being waterboarded. So a rating is hard to come up with. Would I come back to this album? No. Did I hate it? No. Did it make me feel things? I guess? FREEEEEEEBIIIRRRRRRDDDDDD

This album is going to be a quick one. But hella killer. Look Back And Laugh is awesome. Out Of Step is awesome. This is out of this world for punk albums.

This is pretty sick 2 tracks in. Its a heavy goth ambient record, see She's Lost Control. Pretty cool!

This album is a solid midtempo soft alt. I really liked An Ocean In Between The Waves. The songs stretch out for days, so its easy to zone out in the middle of something. Eyes To The Wind has big Bruce meets Bob energy. In fact that is a nice summation of the whole album. I don't really dig the Americana sound but sure its nice.

A cottagecore T.Swift album about closure? Swift almost feels like the second coming of the Beatles, or Michael Jackson. Or maybe the female Meatloaf? Totally in control of the pop stylings of a generation. I personnally have this predisposition to be pretty critical of her more intimate, sadder songs. Like Jesus Taylor, you are a bajillionaire and your daddy is a rich asshole. What the hell gives you the right to comment on normal people issues? But that's me being classist. 'tis the damn season tapdances with being too cloying. no body no crime is the same thing, though in the styling of an old gun fighter revenge ballad, which i guess i can get behind. happiness is a good song. I actually like her lyrics on ivy. But on other tracks the pithiness of her lyrics are so cringe inducing, see long story short. Making a song that is constant cliches is just not my thing. Ultimately, there are some good tunes on here but I had to work to get through this thing.

Freak On A Leash is a hit, even with the scat break that sounds like a dog eating a bowl of lumpy rocks and ice cream. Got The Life has a fun dance beat. Dead Bodies Everywhere sucks ass. God this album is cringy to listen to. Woof this thing is awful in the back half.

I really like the vibe on the first track Supermodel. Doves In The Wind is a little...simplistic? Not my thing. Music video is tight. Normal Girl is good. in fact the last 3 songs are killer.

Hell yea. Boston Rag is where I need it this morning. Like all Steely Dan albums, this thing is so polished its a goddamn disco ball. it kills. every song is perfect.

Love's Enough is a tight song. This gives me the feel of like a sad clown variety show. Pulling Montana Song out for an entire album maybe would have been more of a connecting album. the effort of the thing as a whole feels weak.

Play For Today is good but this album keeps coming in and then jumping into the background. Like I don't give a shit about The Final Sound or Three, but A Forest is a total bop!

Ok, so a soundtrack to an imaginary movie. The Vibes Ain't Nothin' But The Vibes is a song? I guess? It's Business As Usual is not my cup of tea. The problem I am encountering is I am trying to treat this like an album when really its a movie, just without the movie parts. Fucking hell, what a chore. Vermillion Kisses is such a fucking tease. The Sweetest Embrace is the closest to an actual listenable song, because it has Nick Cave on it.

Everyday Is Sunday is quite mopey. The whole affair is pretty mopey, sonically complete though.

Rio kills it. That slap bass sound is just so commanding. My Own way carries the sound from Rio forward, making a nice opening one two. Hungry Like the Wolf is about as big a hit as anyone can manage. Hold Back The Rain is also thunderous. This album is hit after hit after hit.

Thumping! Laura starts with the big hooky swinging and I am here for it. The lead singer's voice is so fucking high. Lovers In The Back Seat has so much groove. THERE AIN"T NO TITS ON THE RADIO!!

This is cool. unfortunately it never shifts out of this peddling midtempo like your mom's new dirt bag boyfriend sort of cool.

Yea this album kicks ass. Like seriously, Nowhere Man is a thundering killer track. Michelle is another banger, but every track has a sparkle, a little sheen.

This feels like an ancient record. Again, landmark in electronic music. But this doesn't grab me with its bleeps and blooping synth tones.

Shadow of a Doubt is cool. Starpower is cool. I think this album is where I finally start to see the appeal of Sonic Youth. In the Kingdom #19 is pretty odd. Maybe after this is done will do another pass at the Sonic Youth. There is something here that caught me, i just dont really know what.

This fucking slaps. Three totally perfect singers join voices in a sort of voltron esque creation of unstoppable country music. Telling Me Lies is the perfect example.
