This was solid, nothing crazy for me. Although I really enjoyed the demo tracks at the end

Unexpected and welcomed. An interesting mix of stuff that I had never heard of before, which is all I really want from this project (3.5/5)

I haven’t explored more since I first listened to this years ago but I really like this bran of Big Band. Atomic is a great adjective for how dynamic and explosive the pieces can be, and it has aged super well

Kinds fun and a little funky but the vocals push it over into corny territory (2.5/5)

A nice voice but not beating the hack allegations, it’s hard to listen back to this with rose tinted glasses (2.5/5)

A little Anita will definitely set this party off right.

Slow jams for the soul

Not the bees!

This was smooth, and aged incredibly well for when it came out (3.5/5)

Really warm voice and enjoyable singing but that’s about as deep as this project goes

More renn faire adjacent folky stuff within a short period, but it hit me way better than the incredible string band

Good album and good band name

An even more British version of The Cure, is it possible? Nothing reached me quite like The Cure though (2.5/5)

Great weirdo energy and my favorite Iggy Pop record

Never think of them as a full album band because the stand outs really STAND OUT. I mean Walk has one of the most iconic metal riffs of all time. I always forget about This Love which really got me this listen. Anyways shout out the Abbott brothers they really shine on all of Pantera’s work and truly made the band unique (RIP)

Huh I’ve never really listened to Traffic -> start album -> oh yeah this is Traffic they’re cool -> album ends -> not my favorite but pretty good -> X amount of time passes -> Huh I’ve never really listened to Traffic

This cycle will continue until I die (3.5/5)

Made me think about being a medieval serf and the traveling merry men came to town playing some ballads after a long day of toiling in the hot fields. And ending that thought with “I’d probably kill myself”

Yeah Frank cooked. It was so exciting to see all the Odd Future guys to piece it together in a relatively short period of time. Some all time songs on here and Pyramids is probably a top 5 Frank song for me, the transition and theming are peak. Obscure shout out to this one video of geese walking across the road in a rainstorm while Fertilizer plays, probably watched that for 15 minutes straight (4.5/5)

Some solid stuff on here but it definitely feels like the name came first and then the songs were churned out to get to 69. A lot of filler and stupid diddies

An old joke: “what does Ginger Baker and coffee have in common? They both suck without Cream”

Me as a kid thought it was hilarious and objective truth, but guess what? I’m mature now. That’s right bitch I like jazz. Fela Kuti is awesome and Ginger is awesome on this album, and I even love the extended drum soloing. I’d still like cream with my coffee though, thanks

More like Melo Drammatik amirite? Lots of good stuff on here but it does feel bloated to me. I think I’ll take Siamese Dream in a battle

Way more involved instrumentally than I had imagined and I ended up liking it way more. I see you boy George
