I wasn't moved the way I expected to be. Nice after some questionable albums but may have heard it too many times in a classic rock block

I've had enough Morrisey, tyvm.

Not bad, not remarkable. They snuck in some slap bass and got funky for a minute.

Is this song (Bobby McGee) about the trials of pre-cellphone relationships?
I didn't think I would enjoy this, her voice is not my favorite. I ended up really liking it, much mellower than I thought.

The NY sounds I liked, overall good but I didn't love it. A little surprised I had never heard this one before. 3.8

If I wanted to listen to the Beach Boys I would go to the beach, boys.

Blues is maybe my least favorite, sprinkle of psych rock and surf doesn't make it more palatable.

Morrisey's crooning is not unpleasant, nice actually. Despite him being something of a twat I enjoyed this one. Heard several songs before but never the whole album. Will be back for sure.

I encountered this many years ago, not sure how or why. Very interesting and different, I was glad for the reexposure.

Classic punk, just gets a little monotonous. Glad for the exposure.

I have a soft spot for the band, Mothers Milk and BSSM were instrumental to my adolescence and the development of my musical taste. This one feels a little like they overstayed their welcome a tad. Seems to lack a little of the funky madness I liked so much in the early work. Now that y'all mention it the sound quality is a little brutal, what's up with that?

I think I should have liked it more than I did. I have a bone to pick with flute insertion, has to be done just right. Not unpleasant but I didn't find anything here that I couldn't wait to hear again. Maybe I will try again later.

Disc 2. Bonus tracks.
Nein, danke.
I hate that it sounds a little like James in places.
No me gusta.

I can't remember if I found this song before Slumdog M$. I loved Paper Planes, so gangsta, then I saw the hilarious video. Album is pretty mediocre.

Not quite up to the standard of Breakfast but pretty good. Rick's favorite which tells you all you need to know about that. A little too much prog, not enough pop stylie for this Comrade. 3.6

I really liked the DKs but it didn't hold up quite as well as I thought. High school vibes, definitely a fun one.

Not bad, I'm not sure I would say it was the definitive hip hop album.

I like what this represents and I know it was revolutionary at the time, just never really cared for Janice.

A pleasant surprise. It is very laid back and timeless. Parts of it remind me of Phish (I have listened to Phish and fish). A tad noodly in bits but I am glad I found it and I shall return.

On paper this is perfect for me. Catchy punk styling, tuff grrrls singing, bit of noise thrown in. Something seems to be missing. Some good tracks but more soft spots than not on first listen in 20 years.
