Not Curt's best but I like it. Hard Times especially.
Can't believe the brother Christgau disliked it so much. He's a confusing man.

1 star as this list doesn't need two Prodigy albums. Pick one m8.
Rated 8/10
Can't believe there's that one guy who thinks Radiohead are boring. What a bold, original thought.
Rated 2/10
Doesn't have Whole of the Moon, minus 3 stars
Rated 2/10
Could give a shit
Rated 6/10
Yeah, go on. Better not be any other Streets albums in this book though.
Honestly can't believe the hate this is getting. Website needs more chavs.
The Streets hit hard on NZ - both this and the previous album. 4.5 million chavs.
Wow, you guys hate this less than I expected.
More fun on paper than in practice to be fair.
Eno's involvement sends it up a star. That's just who I am.
Rated 4/10
Was twee and tiresome in 2009. That hasn't changed. We get it, you like Pet Sounds.
All the 00's animal bands sucked except for Deerhunter.
Sorry Peej, max 3 as you've already had an album. Love the Thom Yorke guest. As I said earlier, prefer the later stuff.
Rated 4/10
Loveless is definitely one of the greats. Even though I didn't love loveless, I remember this one being a disappointment. Look forward to listening again.
1000% does not need to be on this list however. Everyone is good with Loveless. Trust your readers to slightly think for themselves??
Rated 10/10
This was the first Fela I ever heard. Loved the man instantly. What a dude.
The horrific history of this one sadly makes it all the better. Goes beyond being a 'protest'.
Rated 8/10
Not massively into it but I'm not the target audience. Will trust you lot. Plus gotta back the local lass. I have fond memories of when 95bfm was playing Royals before she'd broken through.
Rated 10/10
God I love John Cale.
Saw old mate play the most futuristic version of Sister Ray in the Barbican while drones were flying around the theatre. Incredible.
Imagine not wanting to listen to all 17 mins of Sister Ray. Longer versions are available.
Lou is also an OK guy I guess.
1968! It's easy to think that better/wilder experimental music was happening then... I'd love to hear some examples.
Rated 6/10
Sure. Christgau really likes it so I'll pretend I care about the blues more than I do.
Rated 6/10
All the NWAs eh.
My low reviews for hip hop theory immediately disproven haha.
"the wet t-shirt contest, motherfucker" has to be a contender for corniest bar. 60% sure this is where hail Mary mallon got their gag from. Ifykyk
Very glad skits are mostly over. Was just listening to Ready to Die. So much nonsense before the raps start.
Anyway, this was a good record.
Rated 8/10
Bonafide classic, especially for the younguns. All highschoolers should be bumping this.
Negative reviews always seem to be the most popular when it comes to rap. Wowser boomer opinions rise to the top.
Rated 4/10
These guys STINK
And this is their best work
Rated 10/10
No notes. (more Eno?)
Rated 10/10
It's not perfect but this is my favourite Beach Boys. Delightfully idiosyncratic and weird. Carl's acid drenched lyrics tickle me no end.
RIP the brother Brian. What an album to get on the day of his death, have just been spinning Pet Sounds.
Rated 4/10
Empires and Dance is the good Simple Minds album. Goes so hard you'd think it's a different band entirely. Reel to Reel Cacophony also rips.
This one sucks. Defined 'sell-out', these fellas.
