When I hear this, I think that this is the definition of indie music. Throw in some shoegaze, some ambient/dreamy textures and this is the outcome.

It’s okay and that’s all this is. I liked their other album more than this. It had a bit more backbone to the record. I just felt like something was missing from most of these songs here.

Honestly a nice little album. For sure fits the vibe of “young lovers going to the make out spot”

Charming, albeit a bit repetitive. But I thought it was well written and deserves to be on this list.

100% thought this was going to be a doom/sludge metal album from the art alone.

Felt pretty generic

Oh god not another Nico album…

At least it’s not Yoko Ono, but it’s probably up there with worst collabs of all time.

There are some really bad sections in here that just make no sense to me. It sounds chaotic and just messy. I think some songs were fine, but others made me want to rip my head off.

This is kind of a weird album. There’s definitely a transition from this first album to their mainstream success stuff.

Kinda feels like they wanted to be a bit of a successor to CCR which this record. The guitars and tones are heavily blues inspired and everything feels really raw.

The vocalist has always been an interesting facet for Kings of Leon, and this style of music definitely suits his voice.

Could probably trim some songs from this album. It’s filled with good vibes but can feel same-y after a while.

Enjoyed my time with it. She’s got a good voice, powerful at times and showcased that in Don’t You Know.

I thought it was okay until it got to Mountain of Needles which then turned it into a slogfest. I had to look up the original track listing of the album and beg that this was the last song. Thankfully it was so I stopped after that track.

Not my favourite grouping of instrumental tracks but it was okay and I never really thought about moving on from it. Turned into nice working music.

Not a lot of votes from me on this record. I enjoyed my time with it, but probably won’t even remember it next week.

Definitely not for me.

I appreciate the experimentation and the boldness to put this music out there though. I feel like I appreciate the instrumentals more than the MC.

On that same point, To The Moons Contractor was a vibe. Despite its length, I really enjoyed that track.

High school version of me would have ATE THIS SHIT UP! The rock-jazz fusion was everything I was craving and listened to artists in that same vein like Haken and Dream Theater.

I ruck with this album a lot.

I find Frank Zappa fascinating. He’s so extremely talented but then he’ll make these silly simple songs like the ones in this record.

I can’t imagine the amount of drugs that were taken before writing this.

The last song is such a trip. I can’t even imagine what was going through anyone’s head when recording/creating this. What purpose does this serve? To experience what they’re experiencing while on drugs?

About as bland as plain white bread. I don’t think I enjoyed a single track on this record. They’re not bad like some other songs I can think of from this list, but they’re definitely not good.

The best way I can describe this music is “big boss shit”

An electronic album that wasn’t repetitive? Golly you spoil me.

This was decent and I enjoyed my time with it. Had some pretty tight grooves, good flows and fun beats. Although I was ready to move on by the end of it.

I feel like this aged like fine wine. Great grooves, fun vibes, heavy but not in your face. Nice blend of genres that had my foot tapping the entire time.

Cool at first but really dwindled by the end. I think synths provide a cool effect when it’s done in moderation

How many bangers can you fit into one album? Seriously. Even the non-singles from this are so good.

What a strange album name. But absolutely a hidden gem. There’s so much about this album that I like. I thought the riffs and melodies were incredible, very creative, fun. I really liked them.

There are some lows though in here as well. But I feel like the highs completely outweigh the lows.
