The times when it shines are amazing. Those harmonies man. But then there’s songs like Almost Cut My Hair, a truly terrible song about being an annoying hippy. Standing up for something? What? Oh something completely immaterial. Shut the fuck up. And then after that Neil Young shits all over it with Helpless.

One of the problems with a super group like this is some members SHOULDN’T be given equal footing or in this case writing credit. Stick to your lane. It makes the whole project inconsistent. Blegh

Hey this is pretty good! It doesn’t even have the songs I know on it

Yawn

Fuck

Unbelievably good. So ahead of its time, so clever and catchy and just weird enough without being totally repellent. Love love loved it.

This well and truly was me going yeah what ever that’s okay until Freebird which is so fucking awesome. It’s a shame these guys are probably gigantic racists or something.

It stinks!

I fucking hate the trope that the POWER OF ROCK AND MUSIC AND INDIVIDUALITY will conquer some oppressive regime. And since these morons are objectivists the regime they’re overthrowing is all about…equality and the meek inheriting the earth. How fucking oppressive?? Stupid. But the music is fun. Rush is better in smaller doses.

I totally get why people are into her and her voice. I’m not though which is a bummer. I find her voice a little taxing

Probably the best Neil album I’ve heard on here? Which isn’t saying much. It still has all the same problems, this one just manages to finally have some bops

Damn that top review really is spitting facts

This sucks lol. I think it’s more interesting as a concept than it is listenable as an album

I really liked In Colour, and I can’t remember if I’ve ever listened to The xx before. It’s…got potential, I wish they leaned into the clubby dance side more. This feels a little too slow to hold my interest more than the initial listen

This is fine. I genuinely like the Monkees better.

I’m not listening to fucking Morrisey the day after the election. It’s a few weeks later and this album is shockingly not shit.

Pretty good, though it lacks anything that stays with me, although TVC15 is pretty great

This is a thing I’ve noticed British bands sometimes do which is start there album with ambient noise you have to sit through that is completely divorced from the actual track. Don’t do that. That’s dumb.

Anyway, hey I recognize that album cover! Not this one, Screamadelica. I don’t know anything about it. Other than people like it. I kept waiting for Jesus Jones’ Right Here Right Now to start during the first song. Which is damning with faint praise.

Hmmm. Nothing here is bad. Should it be in here. Ehhhh, probably their more acclaimed album? But this I have a harder time justifying. I like the jazzy parts. I just don’t know that I’ll remember listening to this in a year. I do really like the concept of this album. An alternative soundtrack of an old movie. That’s fun. Problem is I haven’t seen said movie. Hrm. This is a 3 stars that legitimately could be more or less. I really don’t know how to feel on this one. I like it artistically but not as music if that makes sense

Jesus. Electronic artists love taking their original album and then changing them completely ruining the historical posterity. Like I’m sure who ever wanted this on the list probably had the 91 version in mind but NOOOO now there’s a new version with the track list completely different. Stupid. Anyway.

This is one of the most difficult albums to talk about because the KLF HAS to be on a music list. Read their Wikipedia article. Or watch the This Exists episode about them. They kind of exist as this bizarre art project that makes the most…bafflingly bad Euro trash of all time.

Hmmm. I think it’s a real mixed bag. I bet if this album was shortened it’d be much better. Some songs are great, some are boring and skippable. The lack of the Revolution is pretty clear, there are no real bangers on this

I think I always confuse this for an album I like more. This is fine?
