Let's all put on clothing made of foil and zoom around on our hoverboards

Oh god, my face just MELTED. Only really got into them with Fat of the Land, but obviously this is a belter if you want to gurn yourself silly into the small hours

I was in that lift a LONG time

"4 speed tranny" *sniggers*. 60s pop with harmonies and Hammond Organ. It is incredibly unlikely I will ever listen to this again

Considerably more strut and bounce in my stride whilst listening to this one

It's not Bruce, but it's not terrible.

A legendary band for sure, blazing a trail for others but........ this gets pretty samey no?

Epic is clearly the, well, epic track here, but a great example of the beginning of the "nu-metal" / rock & hip-hop cross over genre.

"Iiiiiiiiiiiii don't know the answer to that question." Ah, the 80s. Not all tracks hit the heights, but still one of the best examples of that early New Wave sound.

Is it hip-hop? Is it jazz? Is it funk? Is it ALL of them in some kind of gritty dinner party album? Excellent work of art.

INJECT THE METAL DIRECTLY INTO MY VEINS GRRRRRRRRRRRR

Nah, you're alright thanks.

Bob innit

Mmmmmm. Gritty.

Obviously now on an absolutely massive pedestal, but easy to see why. Powerful vocals, great writing. Perhaps not quite worthy of being held up as high as it is, but a fabulous album nonetheless.

Stripped back, early hip-hop. Despite not being my favourite genre, hard to not appreciate this.

The sound of psychedelia. Perhaps not quite as good as their earlier "classic pop" but still beautiful harmonies.

Grooving rockabilly. "Up Around the Bend" the stand-out for me (and the only track I'd really heard before) but the whole album is full of gems.

A band I have heard of, but can honestly say I never listened to before now. Sadly disappointed - the name invokes something on an industrial scale, this is more small workshop with employees who only want to talk about the poor performance of the local council

Soulful, groovy, funky. Soundtrack to a 70s dinner party.
