“You become so Pat as my style increases
What's that in your pants? Ahh, human feces!
Throw your shitty drawers in the hamper
Next time, come strapped with a fuckin' Pamper”
God damn legend of an album and deserves to be
Rated 4/10
Let's just get the obligatory 'Fuck Morrissey' out of the way up front with this one. I mean seriously, this dude is a GIANT piece of shit. Hate his voice, hate his lyrics. Music/instrumentation/production here is probably the best I've heard from them, though still laced with the typical sad jangly bullshit The Smiths are known for. Without vocals, it wouldn't be offensive, but still nothing special. This whole band's position in the history of music is extremely overblown.
Rated 8/10
Solid ‘60s psych. I can dig it.
If o have to listen to Christmas music that’s not being performed by James Brown or Booker T, then this is it. I do love the girl groups of the sixties despite Phil Spector’s hand in their success.
Rated 2/10
Awful. There’s absolutely ZERO reason I, or anyone else, needs to hear this before they die.
Rated 6/10
Don’t hate it, but it doesn’t do anything for me at all. Often sounds too close to the Grateful Dead for me to enjoy much.
Rated 10/10
Love this album. Somehow defines and also transcends new wave. This is a band just starting to understand their own potential and greatness.
Rated 4/10
Dry white toast
Rated 10/10
Hell yeah! The epitome of '90s post-punk rock 'n' roll! And I mean that as a compliment. Fell in LOVE with this band with the release of Circa Now, and this was such a great follow up. This band gives some of the best live performances I've ever witnessed and this album really captures the power and energy those live sets deliver.
Rated 4/10
My WHOLE LIFE, people I respect as musicians have been trying to sell me on Frank Zappa's greatness. No matter how many time I try, I just can't. This was no exception. Much of the music IS great. I love the experimentation. But there is something about the goofy feel to the compositions overall that just turn me off. Frank's voice and delivery, the lyrical content... I just can't take any of it seriously and that makes me just not care enough to be invested in it.
Rated 8/10
Great album! Neil being super introspective about his own "fame" and trying to escape it. Not outright sad or depressing, but certainly not upbeat either. Tunes are mostly slow, and lyrics are very emotionally powerful. Might not be my favorite album or era of his, but WELL worth keeping in rotation.
Rated 2/10
God damn this is awful! Something about Billy Joel's music makes me want to commit violent crimes.
Rated 2/10
If I could eliminate any genre of music from existence, it would be whatever this bullshit is.
Rated 4/10
Wow... I REALLY don't like this. The "concept" is annoying. The songs are mostly forgettable. A lot of it sounds like it's rehashed from older songs or rehearsal for future ones. Nope.
Rated 8/10
Some REALLY solid tracks on this album; Sympathy For The Devil, Street Fighting Man, and Stray Cat Blues being standouts for me. I'm less enthusiastic about the more straight-forward blues numbers and the honky-tonk on here.
Rated 10/10
Absolutely STUNNING display of Jazz/Funk fusion. Incredible album straight through.
Rated 10/10
Only recently was able to appreciate this band and album. Honestly can’t get enough now. They deserve all the hype they get.
Rated 8/10
Angry femme-positive rock from the '90's you say? Yes please!
Rated 8/10
Great feel-good listen. So wild to realize that Samba was a Brazilian secret until this duo "discovered" and introduced it to mainstream American audiences in 1962.
Rated 10/10
This is a clinic on how to make a soul album. It's just one non-stop groove. One of few double albums that deserves the format.
