I listened to this album while I was sewing a creature! I think this album and the people who created it would greatly support that notion. I listened to one of the tracks through my phone speakers and I wasn't that into it. While working on my creature I was wearing headphones and I really liked it. Goes to show you how much phone speakers are BUTT!!! I really liked almost every song in this album it had a really fun vibe to it. I think this is considered goth music and honestly I've never considered myself the BIGGEST fan of it because my claim was that it all kind of sounded alike. This will be anyone's claim towards a style of music they are not drawn to or do not like. It was ill-educated. Now I consider myself a fan of at least parts of gothic music. Yay!

I knew the album cover because I've listened to Alright quite a lot as I'm sure most people have. Some of the songs had a pop-punk-y charm to them like "Caught by the fuzz" which I appreciated. Some of the also songs tended to get kinda weird and not in a good way or to my taste. "Alright" seems like a totally different style than all the other tracks so it really stands out, also it's really good. I wish I could give 3.5

Their lyrics are a little strange at times. Rhyming diarrhea with gonorrhea is crazy work. Also "bouncing on old MEN" is crazy too. I think I heard "butt plugs" and "busting a clit" which are also very interesting. I like the back tracks for all the songs though they're very unique and nice. I liked the first song the best or "protect ya neck"

I like them! I like this album. I really like "one of those things", I think I've heard it before.

Wasn't great. Heard the guy is racist too, so I didn't finish the album because it wasn't good and I didn't want to support him in any way.

I really like the title and the cover of this album it's very silly. This just feels like another british band that the person felt like they had to include because the kinks are so big so it's obligatory. Long story short, it is NOT obligatory! It's nice to listen to but I wish it were differentttttt and weirdddddddd... I would give it a two but there is a little bit of fun in it

This first song kind of sounds like Radiohead. It's making me want to listen to Radiohead. I like the way he says starlight. Steeyarrrlight. Oh em gee he said black holes and revelations! That's the album name! I LOVE SUPERMASSIVE BLACK HOLE. I LOVE TWILIGHT. I'M PLAYING BASEBALL WITH THE CULLENS IN MY MIND RN. I already really liked this song even before I had watched twilight, but I think the baseball-thunderstorm scene made me like it so much better. To be honest I feel like supermassive black hole is gonna be the only really good or unique song on this album. Let's see if time proves my point. Gang, "Map of the problematique" is kinda giving coldplay or trashy 2000s/2010s pop band. Not trashy as in Ayesha Erotica type trashy, more like what the hell is this corporate machine slop.

This album is really fun and floaty. I also like the cover. Spiritualized's first song is "Ladies and gentlemen we are floating in space" and I think that perfectly encapsulates what this album feels like to listen to. I love shoegaze I think it's yummy. I paused my project and was going back through them because I had to catch up on some I hadn't even listened to but I also didn't write out a review for some of the ones I left a star rating for. Revisiting this one I'm realizing how much I like it. I think it might go up one or two stars. This seems like a good album to listen to when I don't know what to listen to or I'm doing homework or something.

I'm not the biggest fan of his voice all the time. I can hear that it's the same voice in every song but it feels like a totally different style of singing in a lot of these songs. "war in peace" does sound like Radiohead.

I love the intro to this song it's so fun. I love when albums have intros like that. All of these songs are super entertaining and fun to listen to and I like how fast paced they are. I guess punk is kinda all fast paced but it doesn't change the fact that I like this bands fast pace-edness. GAH I LOVE SELF-ESTEEM. "i may be dumb but im not a dweeb. i'm just a sucker with no self esteem." PEAK LYRICISM. I love this album more than I thought I would honestly.

"Words" is kinda corny and repetitive. It feels like a words of affirmation type of thing. "There goes the fear" is familiar, I like it. Is it in 500 days of summer maybe? I just checked and it actually is. I'm so locked. They're very classic 2010s and also are literally just Coldplay

I like this album, it's full of a lot of emotion. Some of it felt a little bit like trying to be tough but most of it wasn't like that.

Of course I know "paint it black", it's a classic that I've known all my life. The next song is kind of stupid, petty, and childish. It's just repeating how stupid a girl is over and over and not being clever about it at all. You can write a song about hating someone and it can be good; you can write a song about someone being stupid and it can be good, just not if you're The Rolling Stones. I am recognizing "under my thumb" a little bit which makes me want to give it a like but then it's also making me feel gross. I like "doncha bother me", I like the instrument that makes a sound after some of the lines. I don't think I've ever seen that word, doncha. This whole album kind of just feelings like men hating women. He thinks girls are stupid, should be under his thumb, and should recognize he's always right. They have their bangers, but I'm not the biggest fan of the rolling stones so far. "High and dry" is okay, but there's definitely a better High and Dry by Radiohead! All radio and no head. I want to give this a 2 I think even though it has "Paint it black"

I really like the vibe of this album. Whoever is singing, their voice reminds me of David Bowie.

This album has a lot of good songs that are fun and catchy. I really like the cover with the scorpion it looks really cool. I also like their band name and album name. Rocket from the crypt! Well, shoot, I'm straight rocketing! I think I might revisit this album

I started listening to this album by listening to the songs which i had already liked from this album which was a surprising amount. I thought it would just be two, "mr brightside" and "somebody told me", but it was actually a lot. the first one i listened to was "all the things ive done" and i was like I KNOW THIS BUT I DONT KNOW IT and then it came to the "ive got soul but im not a soldier" part and i was like OHHHHHH OKAY. i really like the synth-like thing in "smile like you mean it". okay i know that this album is supposed to be like basic pop rock stuff, but i can't help but be a fan. it is also called white people music sometimes but i am white, so, GUILTY! i do think that i like the version of "somebody told me" by maneskin better than this one. it's more gritty which i think fits the song better. the way "change your mind" starts when you're wearing headphones is JUST IN THE LEFT EAR. i don't really like it when the only sound im hearing is just one of my ears. it's just three seconds that it's like that though, im being dramatic.

The bassline is SOOOOOOOO YUM in albatross. i really like the singing. it feels post-punk-ish to me. holy dash. i listened to this for the first time coming home from a rehearsal and it was warm enough to put my windows down and i was just blasting this. my ride home from rehearsal is 10 minutes so albatross filled all of those. it was very cool. i really like albatross. this feels like music that my friend's dad would bump while we're going somewhere. it's a little nostalgic in that way.

in "A new decade" the fade in is super cool. it also just has a really cool guitar/bass relationship if that makes sense? in "This is music" "if love is a drug then i don't need it/it ain't for me" is nice lyrics. awesome guitar again. it has the classic verve sound flowing through it. I actually really like the clapping in "on your own" which is strange because i usually DESPISE whenever people start clapping in songs or when they hear songs, i dunno why. the clapping in this song just feels like a part of the drums though. so it goes is like lucinda williams' guitar. I know she's not the one playing the guitar on her songs it's those two guys i think, but anyways it's under her name, so it's lucinda william's guitar. Lyrics relate back to the previous song which is cool. I don't know if they meant to do that but if they did it's cool they're thinking of their album more as a whole piece rather than just separate things that happen to work and sound good together. "another drink and i won't miss her" i like this line. "a northern soul" sounds like red hot chili peppers or "simple man" by lynyrd skynyrd. the interlude song is not something i would seek out on it's own but it's okay to listen to. I like the lyrics of "history". "life's an ocean" has fun rhyming and the bass is awesome. this album is pretty good. i only have heard bitter sweet symphony from the verve plus maybe one other song from the same album. most of this sounds how i expected it to sound, not in a bad way at all. honestly i think i would really like this album if the songs were shorter. i feel like these songs are so long and it's just the same thing all the way through which can be a bit monotonous to listen to at points.

Pretty sick. I really liked that the first half was all instrumental. I honestly thought the whole album was gonna be like the song with lyrics, i think it's "hero"? honestly I think I liked that one the least. The low voice thing at the end of E-Musik was kinda uncomfortable. I really liked the rain and the ocean sounds though. Super yum. I was playing stardew valley while listening to it and honestly it fit right in. there were a couple moments where i was like "wait, this is the album right...?" and it was. pretty sick

This is very reminiscent of the beastie boys to me even though maybe it's not so loud. It also seems like the type of music my dad would have listened to back in the day in high school or in his early twenties. This is in a good way.
