Great guitar which was obviously expected. So what really impressed me was the percussion. It was a surprise treat and at times for me outshined the guitar.

I didn't understand what he was saying but I could feel it. There was joy, sadness, excitement and love in this album. I liked that the songs all sounded different. It was a mix of new and traditional african and indian sounds.

I love the crazy girl power punk vibe. Its different funky and rockin. Its off the wall at times but very punk

If this was on and playing I would not be bothered by it, heck I might not even notice it. But I also wouldn't ask my friend who this is an add anything to a Spotify list. They were just fine, okay, vanilla with a hint of almond. They sound good together, they have good guitar work, its all okay, good even. Overall they were just fine, okay, vanilla with a hint of almond, but they needed a little caramel or something to push them up to great.

It was upbeat, happy and kind of different, but this far into the project things don't surprise me anymore. It all kind of melds together and this does the same. Nothing amazing but fine if it came on.

This album felt like when I spent a long night out and you cut your friend off and they snuck one more drink, line, pill or whatever and went from fun drunk/high to over the top. I know you are Devo, yes you said you were Devo, everyone knows that you are Devo...
It reminded me of the movie Go, just disjointed, flying around not making sense. At times I liked it (much like my drunk/high friend) but then other times they run off with a stranger or are dancing on the tables and you have to drag them back.

They are Gun's N' Roses and they are iconic and they rock! Now a full album of them is a lot of rocking. The hits are great (Jungle, Brownstone, Sweet Child). The non-hits didn't do anything for me so its a solid 3

As I listened I just kept saying, I think I know this one...but didn't know their version or that everyone sampled this album. So it was cool to hear inspiration for those in the music world and how they used these as a base for their music. And it was a good funk, rock, R&B bass line.

I kind of enjoyed this one. It was sort of punk-style, but honestly felt more rock folk at times which is something I enjoy more. It was quick and was over before I realized it, so one could argue a little more substance would have been better.

There are some good guitar riffs and drums (like the Beast). But a lot of the time it was boring and I kind of forgot I was listening to it.
I just rewatched Forgetting Sarah Marshall and the lead singer really reminded me of Russel Brand's character and once I realized that I couldn't stop laughing

Rated 6/10

They are punk meets grunge with a little metal thrown in. I enjoy the overall message but its just a little too grungy metal for me to really love. 20 years ago I would have loved it though. There are also some pretty sweet guitar solos.
