It’s a perfectly fine post punk album that’s a little too up its own ass. Not nearly as bad as the reviews say but the religion songs are so lame

Sure whatever

The only problem with this album is the problem with so many classic hip hop albums, there’s too many skits. In spite of that, this album hits so hard. The three song run of Tread Water, Potholes, and Say No Go rules. Plus Eye Know and Me Myself and I are absolute classics. Hell even De La Orgee, a song that always played on shuffle in my car anytime I had a first date in my car and I’d have to embarrassingly hurry to change the track before she noticed, makes me laugh. Just a great album

One of my all time favorites. It’s big and theatrical and crisp as much as it is chaotic and messy. I love it.

I don’t really like or get reggae and this was surprisingly good for reggae insofar as I actually listened to it. It’s fine

Some parts of it are good, some parts of it are so boringly fine. It’s a solid 3 woohoo

I listened to this album a bunch. I think Becks biggest flaw is inconsistency, because the good songs on this are incredible. And then Rock the Catskills is one of the worst songs I’ve ever heard in my life.

I remember back when I was getting into jazz to impress the girl at the record store, I listened to a lot of intro level stuff. Giant Steps, Dave Brubeck, Mingus! And then I was like hey this is critically acclaimed! And I listened to the whole thing painting a locker room in winter. And it sucked. It still sucks. Mostly because it’s so experimental it almost becomes boring? Hey you know a good jazz album? The SimCity 3000 soundtrack. Listen to that instead

You’d be better off listening to Aaron Carter’s seminal work Aaron’s Party which has the hit single That’s How I Beat Shaq, which should have been titled That’s How I Best Shack. Because it’s a better and more important and impactful album than this, full stop.

Pretty damn good, just wish some of the songs were more energetic

This is so over the top and stupid. I love it.

I think there are ultimately two types of people who are attracted to punk rock. The first feels alienated by society because they exist at the margins, socially, economically, politically, and the attitude is freeing as it is cathartic. The second person is also alienated, mostly because they’re an asshole and people don’t like being around them. Circle Jerks hewn much closer to this second person. Let’s write a song about sleeping with a skank so our parents don’t think we’re gay! Cool. They use a different word too. Neat. They do have a song about getting a vasectomy. That’s kinda cool. Also the very prescient Paid Vacation! Group Sex even is surprisingly…not a joke song, like sure if you’re into swinging go nuts. But man. I dunno. I get a real repellant vibe from these dudes. They remind me of the dude who would throw a punch in the mosh pit, who smelled awful, and flirted with underage girls. That’s not fair and I’m not accusing them. It just reminds me of that guy

I really liked Public Enemy when I was younger but something about this just doesn’t feel the same. It’s good but I remember it hitting harder

It’s very French. I liked it more than I thought though. Dude has an interesting and powerful voice.

This is so hard to rate. Parts of it feel like 5 parts of it feel like 2. If someone loved this as a younger person I’d totally get it. It just doesn’t hit with me

I don’t get it. It’s very boring.

Shuggie Otis is a cool name, I’ve also never heard of him before this. This is fine. Perfectly middle of the road

Not as bad as people say, but definitely shouldn’t be on here. A catchy bog standard new wave album

I really like Beck. I don’t know if I love him though. I certainly like his early stuff. I haven’t listened to this album before. I only knew E-Pro which is a very good song. This whole album is good. I don’t think I have much else to say about it other than it’s good and I like it.

This is so fucking cool on paper, and when the band and the orchestra hit they hit HARD. The problem is this is Metallica and James Hetfield fucking sucks as a lead singer and there’s so many of his little vocal inflections that ruin everything. If his vocals were replaced with a string or a wind or a brass section, then this would rule, but like. His dumb voice takes it out. There was this time an orchestra played live while Jeff Jarrett and Dutch Mantel wrestled. This is the auditory version of that. Except the difference is Jeff Jarrett didn’t sing like an asshole.

There’s an album the Royal Philharmonic did of Elvis songs, and if fucking Elvis is outshining your vocals then Jesus.
