A few cool beats repeated until you hate them

this isnt something id normally listen to so it really surprised me how much i liked it

liked this more than i expected to

not the Beck album i wouldve chosen for the list(Guero) but an interesting listen nonetheless

overall this album was great but the 71 minute runtime really works against it. if they Disintegrated a few minutes off of each track it'd be a much better album.

Sheep. They’re everywhere. Those woolly, innocent-looking creatures, just grazing in fields, but don't be fooled. They’re not as harmless as they appear. Oh no, they’re watching us, I tell you! Have you ever looked into their eyes? There’s something there, something sinister. They communicate in ways we can’t even comprehend, plotting and scheming while pretending to be these docile animals.

Think about it. Why are there so many of them? They outnumber us, and yet we think we’re in control. We shear their wool, milk them, and even eat them, but that’s exactly what they want us to think. It’s all part of their grand plan. They’ve infiltrated our farms, our petting zoos, and our storybooks. The sheep are everywhere, silently biding their time.

And then there's their leader. You know the one, that black sheep. The one that stands out, the one that doesn’t follow the herd. That’s the mastermind. It’s coordinating the others, sending signals through those eerie bleats. It’s no coincidence that when you see a black sheep, something goes wrong. They’re the overseers, making sure everything goes according to their secret agenda.

Remember that nursery rhyme? “Baa Baa Black Sheep, have you any wool?” It’s a code. It’s been right there in front of us all along. Those aren’t just words; they’re instructions. The black sheep, the wool, it’s all symbolic. The sheep have been whispering their plans to us since we were children, and we didn’t even notice.

And the way they move in unison, like they’re controlled by some hive mind. Have you ever seen a flock of sheep being herded? It’s like watching a well-oiled machine. They know exactly where to go, what to do. They’re training, practicing for the day they rise up. And those sheepdogs? They’re not herding the sheep; they’re working with them, keeping them in line, making sure they don’t give away too much.

They've got us all out of step, just like the song says. We think we’re the ones out of step, struggling against the system, but it’s the sheep that have us dancing to their tune. “I can’t keep up, out of step with the world,” Minor Threat sang, and maybe they were onto something. The sheep have us out of step, out of sync with reality, making us believe we’re the odd ones out, the misfits, while they march in perfect formation, slowly tightening their woolly grip.

And those sheep hybrids you hear about? Dolly the sheep? A clone! They’ve cracked the code of genetics. They’re experimenting, trying to create the perfect sheep, the ultimate overseer. We think we’re cloning them, but what if they’re cloning us? Creating perfect human-sheep hybrids to infiltrate our society. We could be living among them right now!

Stay vigilant. The sheep are not what they seem. They’re out there, watching, waiting. And when the time comes, they’ll make their move. You’ll see. You’ll all see. Baa, baa, black sheep, indeed. They’ve got us out of step, and it’s time we started marching to our own beat, breaking free from their woolly chains.

the inside scoop is that he named the album truth because verisimilitude was too hard to pronounce

this album is aptly named as listening to it felt like a bad dream. i actually liked the majority of this album but it suffers a good bit due to the length. there were some cool musical ideas presented but most of the songs meandered far too long and there was one or two weaker songs that should've been cut completely. ultimately this causes what otherwise wouldve been a nice listening experience to feel like a slog

probably my favorite Metallica album

There are so many things I'd like to say about this album. In fact, that its taken me 5 months and 100 other albums to finally sit down and begin typing out my thoughts. As I sat down and began waxing poetic on each song—its instrumentation, lyrics, and place in the album’s overarching narrative—I realized that what I really wanted to convey was how much I absolutely love this album. So while this may not be the ten-thousand-word thesis I initially set out to write, the core message remains the same: this is one of my favorite albums.

very theatrical and over the top while some feeling underwhelming

just like watergate some of these songs should've stayed clandestine, but somehow were made public anyway

when i first heard this album back in high school i didnt like it. i appreciated the skill with which Jimi played but really only came away liking "Crosstown Traffic". listening again so many years later, im much more impressed by how everything comes together. its still not something id want to listen to all the time but i wouldnt mind throwing it on every now and then.

i wanted to like this album. she has a great voice and most of the beats are awesome. the album just drags on for entirely too long and so i found myself counting down how many songs i had left which is never a good sign. the combination of the length and the overbearingly preachy lyrics made this feel like more of a chore than anything else. my assumption is someone told her that cds could fit 80 minutes and she was miseducated enough to think that meant the album had to be that long.

Solid album

interesting grunge pop album

very cool musical ideas

its fast and loud just like a classic punk album should be. easy 5 stars

this album grew on me as it went on. it was some interesting musical elements but i think the songs tend overstay their welcome. i think they could really benefit from cutting the length of some of the songs
