I Never Asked To Be Your Mountain is a complicated song. well complicated in that he admits to being an unexpected father and not really caring? Phantasmagoria in Two is real good. In order to understand Jeff, you need to at least hear time. this album on its own isnt really my thing, but i am glad i heard it.

Solsbury Hill is a banger. Peter's voice is both so iconic and so well produced that its one of these distinctive sonic signatures in rock and roll. Down The Dolce Vita is also a banger. "stranded starfish have no place to hide."- Here Comes The Flood could be a fun cover.

This album has this really rough, handcrafted feel. Even with the sampling, the lyrics are angular, plosive. They sit in odd spots in the mix. Its real nice. Psychobeatabuckdown.

Im a sucker for this pop, glam 70s style of music, so mambo sun has this record on the right foot. interesting that the next 2 tracks are more downbeat. Bang With A Gong is such a bop. the rest of the album is that sot of midtempo meh.

ok boss ok. Its that sort of stadium crooner sound of the 80's, talking about how your car is great and your girl is great and how your town is going to shit. Bruce's songs to me are important as historical artifacts but to me his songs are overly saccarine and sentimental without a purpose. It's a story just to make you cry. Not to inspire, not to cast blame, not to offer hope for a future. These are songs meant for and from the present.

What in hell? alrighty then. The opening track loses its way about half way and then finds itself again. Great now these weird assholes are now singing about milk. Produced by professional weirdo Brian Eno. The Sound Of Someone You Love Who's Going Away And It Doesn't Matter is a pretty soothing song 3 minutes in and so far its my favorite on the album. you know the last 3 tracks were quite nice and pleasant. Zopf can fuck right off a bridge.

Pete sounds good on this recording. Talk box was super innovative. some hits, but kinda forgettable.

Cypress Avenue is a 3 chord vamp for about 20 minutes. Van Morrison is one of those artists that I just can't like. He made Brown Eyed Girl, but honestly. This album in particular I find bland and boring. classical instruments noodle aimlessly, while Morrison plays 4 chord songs and prattles on while occassionally screeches.

This album was the soundtrack of my youth. an exhuberant, dread inducing, landmark of the bush era that says no to war, no to isolation, and a send up to the human spirit.

How can i not enjoy a reggae album. its a little more one dimensional than a bob album but there is something so soothing about this sound. This was just kinda there, for me.

Soul filled hammond and a reverence that speaks to the lyrics is how it opens and it is captivating. This piano on Rivers Of My Fathers is wild. Dude what a wholesome and uplifting album. OH THE WATERGATE BLUES IS THE BEST! wow what a great musical expression.

Oh boy the lyrics are a real wild ride already. wtf is this album? its real weird, like old hippie at a renaissance fair weird. This guy has a weird thing for lemons. Really starting to lose me by the 39 minute mark. That was kinda bullshit but I can see why others would like it. My ranking is from my perspective.

The guys had so much dynamism in his voice. The lyrics to Tutti Frutti sound so alive! God he is so vivacious, that the record can barely contain his voice. His band really suffers from the recording tech of the time. What a treat live he must have been.

have to say, this album left me kinda flat as well. I generally enjoy this stuff and if i were in a different mood my feeling of it would be different.

Why is this person whispering in my ear? This album is also fine. nothing in particular is grabbing me.

This is alright.

Oh god. This is going to be a test of endurance. It's the worst of the rap rock fusions. His rhyming and vocabulary together make it the worst combo. "A garden hose made out of 24 karat", fuck you Kid Rock. What?! Eminem is on this album?

This is an instant 5 for me. The evocative tones, groove for days, and phenominal orchestration are just to die for. So What has these little jaunts into different key centers, like trying on different coats at a store. Flamenco Sketches is a song with so much internal story telling it is impossible to ignore. This worst part is that the album ends. Bill Evans on the piano for most of the recording is such a treat.

I am a big Parliament fan so the production is really cool. I dig the flow, and its cool to see the launch of Snopp Dogg's career. The lyrics are pretty damn crass, but that lends to its "realness". The middle of the album starts to feel pretty slow, especially with the sketch. The Roach is a great homage.

This has that old record charm. That trumpet on The Face I Love. I wish this album was like 10x longer.
