Absolute trash

So good, some songs on here I’m not going to stop thinking about for a while.

Feel like I’ll end up listening to this one again

Really not a lot to say about this

This process is helping me understand 80s synth pop in the context of what came before it I can really see why it was so popular. Like everything some of it holds up and some of it doesn’t. But I think this does

If you’re listening to jazz it may as well be this

I was late to sonic youth, and then haven't listen to this for 10+ years. Not surprised to find it’s still a great album.

I don’t dislike this album. I used to listen to it semi regularly. It is a bit samey and long in the end though. El Camino is the album I’d go back to now if I wanted to listen to them again.

A few tracks into this album and I’m wondering why the author would think I need to hear this before I die. Here’s my theory.

If you had asked me what I thought of the coral before listening to this album I would have said, pretty good, based on hearing “dreaming of you”. Maybe this is the authors way of making sure as many people as possible know they’re absolutely garbage.

Somehow sounds massive and intimate at the same time. One of my favourites

The nostalgia I feel for this album clearly plays a part. But I enjoyed listening to this album again way more than I thought I would. Criticisms that it rips off television, the wire, sparks. Well yea, that’s music. Otherwise we might as well all go back to listen to beethoven.

You could have a “indie disco” night and just play this album twice and call it a night. If you hate that you won’t like this album. But I remember those nights and they weren’t all bad.

Feel sorry for this album which has been abused by soundtracks for so long. If you ignore the shopping channel vibes then it’s a good album.

I don’t listen to this album as much as mezzanine. But it really is great. 1991 as well, compared to what else was going on in music at that time this album must have felt wild.

Feels a bit like a compilation rather than an album, and reading about how it was put together that makes sense. Black hole sun so good that it rescues the album on its own.

Such an intense album, just on the border of being too much to enjoy. But I do enjoy it, bordering on a 5 star album for me.

Great album, and not heard it before either, the system works!

Not the right massive attack album. But still a good one

A few great songs. Also sex dwarf

I always find reviewing jazz albums difficult. Because it’s all about where you listen to it. In the car as a focused listen. I don’t particularly enjoy it. But playing on a vinyl in a bar somewhere, this would be great. So I think I like the idea of jazz more than the music.

Great, and another one I’d msissed before now.
