Da CapoLove

Rated 2/10

This whole album feels like a parody of 1960s music. The band is even just called Love. It’d be like if there was a band called Peace. And the singer sucks. He’s like a shit Eric Burdon. And then the harpsichord. Which is a good idea if they were like a weird theatrical band. But they’re just kinda there. And then Revelation. Nearly 20 minutes of a guy just doing generic BABY YOU’RE GETTING ME HOT. Fuck off

Weird album. At times I forgot that I was listening to one album rather than a randomized playlist. It’s pleasant throughout, and I get why this would be someone’s favorite, it just didn't connect with me, maybe in part because of the inconsistent sound. Again this is one of those albums where it’s personal rather than objective

I’ve tried listening to this album before and it gave me a headache. Guess what it fucking happened again. I don’t even dislike metal! I enjoy far more annoying albums! I don’t even think it sounds bad! But it’s the only album that consistently gives me a headache

It’s fine. It kinda sounds like a dozen other bands that are better so.

Rated 6/10

Abysmal cover. In the running for worst on this list. Eels have always been a band I enjoy but not enough to pursue beyond going hey I liked that. I actually like the way a song like Susan’s House sounds but the lyrics are so fucking stupid. And then a song like the title track. We know nothing about this freak! Are they smelly? Addicted to glue? Just kind of clumsy? We don’t know! YOU! Don’t know. It’s just meant to be a thing you can attach anyone to. Is my beloved monster about a complicated relationship? Or an actual monster? I can’t tell! Either is fine but neither fucking sucks!

Always loved this album cover. That first track is really great. I really like how this album feels like it could have been made in the early 70s but absolutely can’t be due to subject matter. There’s moments that sound like the Kinks or the Jam. I like how diverse it sounds.

Sometimes it sounds like the best album ever and other times it’s pretty…bland. It’s like a turkey sandwich when you’re starving. Amazing at times, but in the end it’s just turkey

Even in songs I remember liking, like Power, you realize it’s a mentally ill man who’s like lol who care if the president called me out, I’m just an asshole, drunk driving lmao. What a fucking loser.

I hate it. Bittersweet Symphony is a song I’ve never understood. It never earns its triumphant sound. The closest it gets to interesting is the I can change part but it never soars above that. The rest of the album is bloated and boring and is the culmination of all of britpops worst excesses. Bombastic and long without being memorable.

This album rules so hard. It’s sexy and fun. Funky and smooth. If I liked whiskey I imagine this is what it tastes like after a long day
