Straight forward rock, a haw haw haw haw haw

Some really unique sounding beats that I swear I’ve heard sampled elsewhere although I came up empty handed on WhoSampled. Maybe a bit long but it’s good throughout (3.5/5)

Listened during a sunny midday walk through a small town, would recommend (3.5/5)

Surprising first listen for me. I love their first 3 but never found this one growing up, although I’ve heard changes and snowbound previously. It’s a good record and probably falls right at the tail end of the golden era (also below the first 2 Dio records). (3.5/5)

Alright, just wish it were heavier or more interesting I guess. Really liked the tone of the keys

Missing the soul it seems (2.5/5)

Heard of them but hadn’t listened so TIL they’re an off shoot of Talking Heads and the origin of the mega sample in Genius of Love. So that was neat

Fun but a little long and gimmicky with so much of the layered melody effects. No real complaints

I can’t believe this dude is responsible for lime in the coconut. Interesting blend of songs and well done vocally

Very pleasant and felt like I should listen outside on a walk or a drive through the mountains. I really only loved Blue Ridge Mountains so i don’t wanna rate this a 4 but it’s definitely better than a 3. Damn I need half star ratings (3.5/5)

Yeah it’s fine (2.5/5)

Does this qualify as a noise album? I didn’t mind it but the atmospheric bits like the sounds of writing or birds didn’t do much for me. Not bad (2.5/5)

I’m a Hole hater but it wasn’t that bad

Just as it says on the label, OK. Also my first exposure to the quick tempo percussion and sitar(?) was whenever riding Yoshi in Mario Sunshine. Now every time I hear that similar rhythm that’s all I can think about (2.5/5)

Not as good as the other Goldfrapp on the list, this was just ok (2.5/5)

First I’ve listened to this one and the lack of Beatles magic is apparent. Even Maybe I’m Amazed has always felt lacking to me but the record is still solid

Solid but I expected more after so much acclaim I saw this get when it came out (2.5/5)

This was very bland. The vocal delivery was monotonous, the band was basic, and even the lyricism wasn’t biting enough to make up for the plainness

Them boys cookin. I don’t know wtf they were supposed to be cooking but this is aight (2.5/5)

Nothing amazing but solid. I enjoyed this more than Dry
