Self important drivel. The music video for Seven Seas is extra bad.

A fast RNB rap album. Cee Lo's distintive voice is a little much across an entire album, though his singles have punch and his rapping is skillful. Childz Play is a standout track.

Is the album more than the single? Walk All Over You has a strong showing. Beating Around The Bush is another strong track. Night Prowler is a strong closer. So this album is mid at best, but I am partiatal to the AC/DC sound. The lyrics are pretty cringe at times but I love that classic guitar tone.

Now in stereo! They really lean into the stereo panning effects. Weird story telling. The fanciful language is a nice balm after the fucking brutal beatdown that was yesterday's album but this is weird.

Cool just the album for me this morning T_T. Literally the next song starts with a jackhammer. This album makes me want to crawl out of my goddamn skin. Music for people to chop their ears off to. This garbage is an assault to the concept of music, and its only merit is in its contrarian attitude. The listener is subjected to a sonic waterboarding experience. The best part is when it ends.

A modern day throwback album. Nostalgic in a totally alien way. Pretty boring, but not grating, like a ferris wheel ride.

Lionsong is cool. Bjork songs are so hit or miss to me, always these huge swings and their either connect hard or miss the mark. Atom Dance is cool.

The heavy synth glam sound is cool.

if I get really into the Byrd's then this will be higher on the list and worth a revisit. right now it feels kind of slow and plodding.

This is fine, though its so smoothed out that there really isn't much to latch on to.

God I am so tired of Brit-pop. This is just a slog of smarmed up bullshit. The operatic grand The Dogs & the Horses is the smelling cherry on top of this truely terrible album.

Search And Destroy! The whole thing sounds dated and beat to hell but i guess that's its appeal. To me this is another museum piece.

This sucks. The covers are the bright spots.

Its an afro-islamic styling on some mid tempo stripped down world music. its cool i don't think it stirs enough in me to give it more than a three though. I really like the track Taara, glad i dug for it.

This singing sounds exactly like Katie's. Sweetest Decline is a cool downbeat song. This is a very nice downbeat album, though it's something that doesn't call attention to itself. Blood Red River grabbed me. I would add this to the stable to come with.

Who's To Blame with a Chali 2na verse! The rest of the album is meh but pleasant.

Chain Chain Chaiiiiiiiinnnn! This album is such a treat. A Natural Woman is a great song. Every song is a soul bop.

Blue Suede Shoes is a perenial hit. His vocal delivery is both iconic and divisive. Its a little too artificial and forced for me. So he just took the blues and played it faster and boom: Rock and Roll. Yea this sucks as an album but important as a museum piece.

Can't Hold Us Down is pretty tight! Fighter is another bop. Impossible is good. It generally comes off as a cusp of adulthood sort of album, with naive songs on the first fulfillment of love, the stripping away of the dumb rougeishness of young affection, but also wanting to be swept up in that all encompassing way that is just too exhausting for a full adult. Beautiful is a nostalgic hit. Her ballads are just not my thing, otherwise. On the whole, its an ambitious album that I don't think has the chops to back up the ambition. It's spread thin.

Cherub Rock is a killer. Today is a landmark of a song. Hummer is actually kind of cool. Diasarm fucking kills it. The set-up into Silverfuck and then the execution was one of my favorites on the album. Luna kinda sucks and is a weak closer, but still this is a 5 for me.
