Let’s Stay Together is such a classic.

Fun album, very chill with good vibes and smooth bass lines.

I mean, I rocked out. It was alright.

I have SO MANY thoughts and comments that I must get through.

1. I legit had to take breaks listening to this album. It occupied my entire brain, and I gotta tell you, I’ve never felt so much mental clarity in my life than those breaks from this album.

2. This must be music that the Joker listens to on his day off to unwind.

3. This is like one of those things that stands out as a talking point. Like an extremely flashy watch or a middle piece of a table that is so absurd that people bond over talking about it and it serves as a great ice breaker.

4. I wonder if this is how my mom feels when I listen to “screaming music”.

5. The back half of this album is much more stable than the front half (kinda)

6. This album makes me question everything. Why are we here? How do magnets work? What choices in my life did I make that ultimately led me to listening to this album?

Closing thoughts. No music has ever made me feel this sort of chaotic energy. This is a very unique experience that I have never felt before while listening to music. I don’t think I’ll ever stop thinking about this album, but I’ll probably never want to listen to it again.

Fun album, feels like early ska music.

It was a decent album, I can see that if you’re into this music that this album would stand out in 1974.

Yeah I’m not the target audience for this.

Wha I like about Peter Gabriel is that his makes very unique music and sounds. What I don’t like about Peter Gabriel is that his music is boring.

I guess it is an album from 1967, but man this was blander than bran flakes.

Prunes is appropriate to be involved in the naming of this band.

I think just for weirdness and uniqueness, this deserves a 3

I'm actually a little conflicted because while this was kind of a boring album, it was also kinda chill? Like I wouldn't tell someone to turn this off if they had it playing but I also don't love it enough to actively seek out this kind of music. Kind of like lo-fi in a way? Or like post-rock?

This album was good at creating a vibe. A "angsty teenager locked in their room" kind of vibe. I didn't hate it, I didn't love it, and that's where I'm at with that.

As a kid, whenever I played FIFA 99 (or FIFA 2000, I can't remember), the "Funk Soul Brother" song came on when I paused the game and I wouldn't resume the game right away while my sister and I jammed out to this absolute BANGER. What a classic song, still an awesome track.

Decent album too, albeit very repetitive. But the repetitiveness isn't as bad here as it is in other albums (not sure why that is)

Beforehand I always Beastie Boys music a hit or a miss. Sometimes it’s catchy as hell (YOU GOTTA FIGHT. FOR YOUR RIGHT. TO PARRRRRTAYYYYY) and then other times it just gets on my nerves because I find it annoying.

There’s some real gems in here that aren’t Sabatoge. I thought the instrumental track Sabrosa was awesome with that bass line.

Actually I loved all the instrumental tracks. I think they were the highlight for me. I thought it brought a lot of depth to the album adding in a nice jazz touch and a break from the craziness that the MCs bring.

Loved this record. Really shined a light and it brought on a new respect to the Beastie Boys

I feel like if Bob Dylan made music and existed in his prime in the current generation, he’d still be popular.

I wish there was a bit more variety in this album. I feel like his singing style is the same throughout every song here. There’s still some really good tunes on here though and it’s still a good vibe.

This felt like Prime Madonna. I can’t believe I’m saying this about Madonna but this album is great throughout.

Honestly nothing I can pick out as a sore point.

“Mow the lawn” kinda music. Super chill, nothing spectacular but just good vibes with every song (except the last song, honestly could have been skipped).

This is an album that you can put on and pass a joint around, which before digital music and playlists, you would have had to do in the 90s.

“I got the cleanest, meanest, penis”. Actually made me laugh.

This honestly felt like an album glorifying this man’s dick.

I definitely got baited by the Wikipedia summary. I thought this would be a life changing album. It’s kinda your typical British rock album. It’s still a good album but I think I just had higher expectations.

The 1 caveat, is that Common People is an absolute BANGER.

Kind of a weird album. A good mixup after listening to so many of these albums now, so at least it’s got that going for it.

Credit earned where credit is due for having a pretty creative sound but nothing was jaw dropping for me.

Song-by-song Live Commentary:

Protection: felt like I was in an elevator

Karmacoma: an I listening to the same artist? Feels like someone made this song on a really good quality recording of garage band.

Three: might be her lucky number, but this is the number of songs off this album I can stand before going crazy from boredom.

Weather Storm: back in the elevator, but now it’s raining.

Spying Glass: I totally zoned out and didn’t even realize I missed a song at first. I guess that’s a good summary of all of these songs.

Better Things: I like the bass line.

Euro Child: euro-killing me with this music. Although the lyrical flow was nice.

Sly: Boop. Boop boop. Beep boop. Boop boop.

Heat Miser: that piano riff sounds like it belongs to the Halloween soundtrack. I like the build up with that and the drums. But then they took away that piano riff :((

This album is not for me.

Honestly better than most, if not all of the 80s metal bands. Might be my favourite from the era after listening to this. There’s at least a consistency in their music vs Metallica and Anthrax.
