BerlinLou Reed

Rated 6/10

Very sad. Got kind of engrossed but didn't massively appreciate it overall.

I blatantly hate women and Jews. Why did my girl leave me? Wah wah fucking wah.

Get in the bin...

I mean trash can.

Still found myself humming along to some of the melodies though.

Absolutely massive.

Great songwriting and production all the way through. Will definitely want to go back and listen again.

I didn't hate listening to this. I didn't love it either.

By their standards to come, it feels overly derivative and the production is a bit naff at times.

Still cool vibes though.

It was ok, fell a little bit into the background but when I remembered what I was listening to, I quite liked the sound.

Loved it. A pure joy.

Bit concerning that the song that came on next was about a 16 year old not doing what he wanted... but that wasn't on this album.

Didn't really love this. But the groove and the production were really, really good.

Sweet Virginia and Tumblin' Dice definitely boost it.

Great fun to listen to. Great riffs, vocals and beats.

Not desperate to listen to much of it again though (apart from My Perfect Cousin).

Pretty awesome.

Seems like they invented something here, whilst also keeping faithful to their roots and influences.

Think this is my favourite LZ album so far from the list (and I've had a few).

Rated 6/10

Definitely interesting. Definitely standing on the shoulders of giants. But also didn't really like the songs that much. Not bad though.

Very cool.

First introduced to this album with Somebody Out There on GTA San Andreas and when I was a little bit older, I ventured to hear the rest and it's pretty strong.

The saxophone feels stylish over superfluous and it has a great feel.
