Just a great rock and roll record. Mr. Costello has a ton of albums on here. Maybe too many? But this one for sure belongs on any serious great album list.

Rated 10/10

There's only 3 songs on this record, but all 3 of them rule, so easy 5 stars. Prog is awesome.

Man, this is a bummer. I really love the musical arrangements and I wish they had someone like Kate Bush or Bjork singing. It just sounds like bad musical theater. 2 stars just because of the arrangements.

Man, I absolutely loved this. They're like a slightly more punk rock version of the Stones. And look at that album cover. These guys just exude coolness. This is the kind of no bullshit rock and roll that I love and discovering music like this is exactly why I signed up for this challenge.

A bit more lushly orchestrated than their other stuff. Shame that this is their final album because I think they were going in an interesting direction. As far as final albums, this is definitely one of the better ones.

I'm normally a big prog guy and I appreciate the difficulties that Mr. Wyatt was dealing with around this time with his accident and all. This just wasn't for me though. A bit too abstract.

Rated 8/10

Great riffs and vibes. Makes me want to hang out at a shitty dive bar and drink some cheap beer.

SisterSonic Youth

Rated 2/10

Like, Sonic Youth just has to be an elaborate prank, right? There's no way that a bunch of music critics didn't get together to convince everyone that this crap is actually good over a few drinks late one night as joke.

Decent 60's psych record. Can't say I'll ever put this one on again, but it was over in 28 minutes so I can't complain.

Another in a long series of albums that probably sounded great at raves in Manchester in the 90's but otherwise are not good. I'll give it 2 stars because none of the songs are egregiously long and it's almost Christmas, so I'm feeling generous.
