Rated 8/10

Yeah, this definitely sounds like something Steve Albini would create. Great riffs and super edgy lyrics. Nice and noisy.

I like some of the arrangements especially the strings. Musically, this was pleasant. But man, those vocals are WEAK. Like not weak as in bad (except for when he tried a falsetto) just with no power or presence to them. Plus most of these songs could stand to be cut by about a minute cause they go nowhere.

I saw this was ambient electronica and was dreading it, but I actually dug this quite a bit. I liked the way they manipulated the sounds. I don't think I could listen to this all the time but I can see it being played if I need something low key. I definitely think Radiohead was influenced by this on some of their later work.

Side A: Decent psychedelic rock. 3/5

Side B: 17+ minutes of perfection and one of the songs that is precursor to what bands like Sabbath and Purple would perfect in just a few short years. The reason this album is on this list. 5/5

So, overall a 4/5.

I grew up in the 90's, so this was right up my alley. I never even heard it before. Must have gotten overshadowed by all the other great stuff released around the same time.

Man, I'm really tiring of these forgettable britpop albums. There's some good guitar work here and there but it sounds like so much other stuff I've heard on this list.

Rated 6/10

This was a fun listen and short. Somewhat lacking in memorable songs but the energy makes up for it.

Man, so many people praise this thing like it's the greatest album ever made, including a lot of artists I love. I just don't get it. There's occasionally a good riff here or there but it mostly just sounds like someone humming over white noise.

M-E-T-H-O-D maaaaaaan

I love these early Wu projects. Just rugged and raw. A little sloppy in places but that's part of the charm.

Country music lives and dies on its lyrics and these songs are are heartbreaking one minute and clever the next. George was truly one of the best.
