It feels really hard to find hidden gems from the 60s and especially the summer of love. This is really nice! Sorta fun and a little folksy

This is the pinnacle of cool

It’s abrasive and basically unlistenable but it also made me think about what makes music music and also about some of the pretty scary themes it touched on. So it’s more worthwhile than like. Half the albums on the list.

Tfw the couple at the Ren Faire comes over and says they like your style.

It’s pretty good! Just doesn’t reach the awesome heights they do later with their hits.

I remember listening to this but I also can’t remember any specifics. It was fine enough

Really wish there were half ratings because this is such a 3.5 album. It’s fine, I think it doesn’t do anything that stands out, but I like it overall

The nice thing about an album that knows it’s stupid is you can’t really be mad about how stupid it is. This is a stupid album. It’s also really great. Bad Fun is outstanding. I think one reason I like the Cult is they sound a lot like the early to mid 2000s garage revival which wasn’t very good but was the defining sound of my childhood. This is like that but much better. And dumber.

It’s the same song over and over but at least it’s an okay song

Being from the Detroit area means I have to think Detroit Rock City is cool as hell. Except why the fuck are they driving down 95? It’s 94 or 75! Boy I sure hope someone got fired for that blunder.

When I was a kid I was fucking terrified of KISS because I saw Gene Simmons spit blood and shit. I actually think it’s kinda cool that they’re actually massive dorks making massive dork music but look like weird assholes.

The music is surprisingly fine. It’s like McDonalds. You know it’s not good for you, but sometimes you want those fucking fries. I know I do.

This is a good album cover too. It’s like a comic book no one would read. Instead of the avengers they’re like. The Morons or something.

God of Thunder is so fucking stupid. Why dos anyone take this band seriously. I’m at the airport rn just riffing.

And then the ballad that mentions their biggest hit is so fucking funny. This rules I’m sorry. It’s so bad it’s good.

I’ll be honest I just don’t have the patience for this genre of music. Experimental but not in an annoying or weird way. This is experimental because no one did it before. Because it seems like a bad idea. And it is.

I really like this album but I don’t love it. I think the biggest issue is the fucking singer on Jesse James and Gentleman Soldier.

Loved it

Better than a lot of electronica on this list. The infusion of Indian music really makes for a more interesting sound

Who would hate this it’s hilarious. A wild ride between the familiar and the crazy. I loved it

All those people with AI girlfriends or who talk to AI instead of people should be forced to listen to Deeper Understanding and then get shot in the back of the head

All rock operas live and die by their premise. Does the story make sense in the context of an album? This one…kinda? I can see what they’re going for but at the same time I kind of lose the plot every few minutes and have to remember that might be the point. The other trouble is it’s just so long without that much variation. Occasionally a weird effect happens and it’s actually really welcome. I think I like this more than I don’t? But not by much.

Sort of cool in that it sounds so ahead of its time. But hey is there no Yellow Magic Orchestra on here? Or any Japanese music for that matter? Hmmm

Pretty great honestly. Suffers from some of the same quirks I don’t like about most 60s rock. Looking at you not very good blues song
