I have this one on Vinyl! it's great background focus music

Pretty Decent.

nothing stood out on this record but it was fun anyways

Very Surprised with this one. I actually like Van Morrison, but this album is full of unremarkable, strangely-structured songs.

An album for the sad bois. "The Golden Age" has been a favorite song of mine for a while now and has been the soundtrack to many sad or melancholy moments in my life.

wut

This might be the dumbest thing I've ever listened to.

wow.... this is really an album I was looking forward to because so many tastemakers and critics have this thing on their walls.

it's.....fine at best and annoying at worst.

this is definitely one of those albums people have collectively pretended is good to appear unique.

fart

Love to see that this album is slowly gaining points now that we're 2 or 3 years removed from this site being overrun with Brit Wankers during COVID who heaped praise on derivative dogshit like Blur and boring Proto-EDM like Kraftwerk while shitting on this because the frontman is a bit of a douche.

I wont sit here and say it's a 5, or even LB's best album, but it had broad appeal at the height of nu-metal music and for that it has value.

Good album I'd never heard of before. Unfortunately the final few tracks brought it down from a potential 4 to a 3

it doesn't really do anything for the modern ear, but it definitely served as inspiration to artists emerging in the late 60s and early 70s. Paul Simon being one.

it's like an old-school less-interesting version of Courtney Barnett.

Love Black Sabbath, but this is just not as great as it's made out to be.

This is who did Spinning Wheel? No shit? I used to play that song in Middle School "Jazz" band.

Also, this is a good choice for the list. It won album of the year in 1970 and has seemingly been completely forgotten about in music discourse.

Surprisingly enjoyed this. When I see a 90s album from a pioneering electronic artist, I am prepared to be let down. This time it actually resembled dance music and was fun

It's up there with Nevermind for best grunge album. It's certainly "grungier" than Nirvana and it's done well.

The Album is bad, but the opening track is the intro song to Vikings, so i'll give it a pass.

time for a new rewatch!

Oh wow the bass lines on this record are really fantastic.

classic. Their best album.

but man I hate interludes. always just so wildly lame.
