I like their top song a lot (not on the album). As for the album, was neat. Nothing stood out a whole lot. Guitar sound is nice. Vocal sound works well for a brit album here

They really cooked with this one. The atmosphere/vibe is unique. I really like the ending melody of Fotzepolitic

"Heroes" the title track is very nice I like it a lot. I am also a big fan of the 2nd half being instrumental. I like the tracks and thought it was well done

It's just so... limp bizkit. Today was both not the day for this but then actually the perfect day for this. It's so over the top in it's own way that it works in a funny way, in a way.

I like this review:

> OK, if you are gonna name yourself "T.Rex," name your album "Electric Warrior" and put a badass rock stance silhouette on your cover, I'm going to expect some big, rocking, loud shit. You are not T.Rex, you are not even Allosaurus! You are Stegosaurus, Planteating with strings background Warrior. That's fine. Just be honest with us.

Highly rated by critics, but not for me

I like how Looking Down The Barrel Of A Gun included a lower-sounding electric guitar

I generally like my metal more extreme but solid nevertheless vs other stuff on the list

Live For Today is a goat song. Cool to learn the lore of Femi Kuti being Fela Kuti's son, after getting Fela Kuti albums

Wow that was really neat for something more unknown. The opening tracks really hooked me in

Truly an amazing album there’s soooo much good stuff on here. I’ll Be Your Mirror has been one of my favourite songs for a while. Crazy that this was 1967

Feels only fitting to add my thoughts for every song. HERE WE GO:

1. Absolute Cuckoo: I like how the vocals "swing"
2. I Don't Believe in the Sun: the melancholy is nice here. Almost gave Christmas vibes in a slight way for some reason
3. All My Little Words: I like how it's really giving Stardew Valley with the instrumental side of it
4. A Chicken With Its Head Cut Off: very country. Matches the song theme. A switch up for this album. Makes me think of Johnny Cash
5. Reno Dakota: different voice. Huh. I dig the switch up for this one
6. I Don't Want to Get Over You: the sorta-distorted-sounding synth is neat. I like how it sorta buzzes. And the vocals work quite well here to go with the theme
7. Come Back From San Francisco: nice softer guitar riff here. I enjoy it
8. The Luckiest Guy on the Lower East Side: I like that one synth that goes every beat. It sounds like a video game rabbit jumping. Like a Mario 64 rabbit. And then there's the main-riff synth that I like too. More of an energy to this track while the vocals are still soft, quite nice
9. Let's Pretend We're Bunny Rabbits: Very care-free. The chorus I really like. And a joyful synth to go with it
10. The Cactus Where Your Heart Should Be: jingly stuff going on. Feels... cactus-y. The small bell jingle in left speaker every few measures is a nice touch
11. I Think I Need a New Heart: I'm getting a bit of Stardew Valley for the main riff (not the chords, but the individually-picked strings riff). A well-done song
12. The Book of Love: funny comment about how "the book of love is long and boring / no one can lift the damn thing"
13. Fido, Your Leash Is Too Long: some more "modern" electronic sounding synth. It's... squeaky? Yeah, squeaky. That's how I would describe it. Like someone really enthusiastically washing a window
14. How Fucking Romantic: that's different - it's very quiet (as in, not much going on). Vocals and snapping. Nice to mix things up, cause there's a lot of songs still
15. The One You Really Love: an interesting scratchy instrument going on here
16. Punk Love: woahhh a sudden shift. Simple lyrics. Catchy. It started getting faster and I was like ok ok I dig it. Sudden ending
17. Parades Go By: the main riff synth sounds like some video game village area. For some reason it makes me think of the forest area of Bowser's Inside Story
18. Boa Constrictor: some medium-fast picking behind some vocals. A simpler short song. Seems like a few of these. The final strum was interesting, was it off-key or something else?
19. A Pretty Girl Is Like: various similes as a theme. "A pretty girl is like a pretty girl" at the end, ha. It's a true statement!
20. My Sentimental Melody: opening synth got me interested. An organ sound? Those less frequent strums every other measure or so felt echo-y or fainter in the background
21. Nothing Matters When We're Dancing: I like the lyrics. "Let's pretend this song won't end / and we never have to go home"
22. Sweet-Lovin' Man: more of a wall of sound here. Does sound very "sweet". The layers of synths makes it sound more "heavenly". The main riff is nice too. I like how it briefly holds the higher note before dropping down to the lower note, especially on the 2nd part of the riff
23. The Things We Did and Didn't Do: the groups of notes with a bit of pause between is giving Animal Crossing New Leaf hourly music
24. Roses: shortest song yet? Funny about the buying roses stocks and becoming a millionaire
25. Love Is Like Jazz: fitting that it sounds jazzy
26. When My Boy Walks Down the Street: drone-y guitar sound that tends to merge together to form a continuous sound
27. Time Enough for Rocking When We're Old: ohhhhhh, rocking chairs. Not rock music, hah
28. Very Funny: ok some piano now. I gotta say, I do like how the tracks mix themselves up a lot. It's not just the same thing each time
29. Grand Canyon: some kinda horn thing going on here. At the very start for a second I was thinking of Gerudo Valley (Ocarina of Time)
30. No One Will Ever Love You: some sad lyrics here. The whole honesty lyrics thing
31. If You Don't Cry: I like to think of these lyrics as saying it's ok/expected to cry cause that's part of love. Vocals go well with the sound here
32. You're My Only Home: the synths sound alien-y here
33. (Crazy for You But) Not That Crazy: song title is funny. Softer song, matches the title/lyrics
34. My Only Friend: I like the higher piano bit at the end. And the oscillating piano earlier in the song
35. Promises of Eternity: the higher synths sound very heavenly-like. That's my favourite part here
36. World Love: a simpler repeating riff. It works though
37. Washington, D.C.: the message is nice, about you like someplace where someone special to you is. The "indie"-ness was done well
38. Long-Forgotten Fairytale: had scratchy(?) synth sounds, but then suddenly, like a butterfly field. Another shift after that. The scratch(?) sound was a bit more unique/different
39. Kiss Me Like You Mean It: ooo I like the guitar tone here. However, I do NOT like the vocals. Nopey nope
40. Papa Was a Rodeo: the instrumental for this one is nice. Almost music box vibes but not quite. I keep thinking of "papa was a rolling stone" and I autocomplete that before "rodeo". "Rolling stone" and "rodeo" both start with "r" even
41. Epitaph for My Heart: I feel like the songs are getting plainer. But maybe that's cause I'm at song 41 now. Really though, this song is a guitar with some plain synth and vocals and plain drums... and then sure a guitar riff between vocals (that isn't anything crazy)
42. Asleep and Dreaming: "The sweetest thing I ever saw / was you asleep and dreaming". That's some nice lyrics. Idk if I agree with all the lyrics but I like that. Synth here matches the vibe
43. The Sun Goes Down and the World Goes Dancing: I like the title of this one, and then it starts out with a dancing vibe. Nice nice
44. The Way You Say Good-Night: what is that violin from the start there. A violin? A nice switch-up. Makes me think of all the things you can notice you like about someone
45. Abigail, Belle of Kilronan: woah I like how that main synth continuously oscillates between the left and right speaker. A neat effect. Not enough stuff has neat effects like this
46. I Shatter: what the, what's up with this voice. A "just woke up" voice. This one sorta had the same thing as previous song of the oscillating synths, but the oscillations were much more "extreme" in the last song
47. Underwear: low notes for a change. Ok, ok
48. It's a Crime: feels like experimentation with different synth sounds. It works, ha
49. Busby Berkeley Dreams: this reminds me of Both Sides Now by Joni Mitchell
50. I'm Sorry I Love You: that's a different guitar tone. Sounds almost like a... bell, in a way. Then after that the instrumental made me think Walk Like an Egyptian by The Bangles (before the vocals)
51. Acoustic Guitar: ok there's actually acoustic guitar here
52. The Death of Ferdinand de Saussure: ok they added claps as a thing at one point in this song. Over 69 songs, at least they are using a variety of ways to make sound
53. Love in the Shadows: the faint xylophone-sounding instrument is a nice addition
54. Bitter Tears: I would like some more synth action. I found the guitar backing here a but plain
55. Wi' Nae Wee Bairn Ye'll Me Beget: I had to google what the title means. A way to say that you won't get me pregnant with a small child. Ha. Folky
56. Yeah! Oh, Yeah!: oh yeahh, the start hooked me in with that guitar tone. I like the girl's vocals on this one. I dig the descending and ascending combination used
57. Experimental Music Love: certainly experimental with all those overlapping vocals
58. Meaningless: I'm digging the guitar tone too here like 2 songs ago. It sounds like a ukulele, in fact
59. Love is Like a Bottle of Gin: very soft. The soft guitar tone here is sorta interesting, I guess. Fainter. Has a sort of vibrate on the 2nd longer strum
60. Queen of the Savages: sounds like some ukulele action again. I'm digging the ukulele use
61. Blue You: more mysterious/mystical sounding
62. I Can't Touch You Anymore: it's giving new wave with that synth at the start
63. Two Kinds of People: cigarettes after sex vibe. Well, the guitar tone. Not as much the vocals. And there's no drums here
64. How to Say Goodbye: the high-pitched synth at the start is nice. Feels childlike in a way
65. The Night You Can't Remember: some organ action here
66. For We Are the King of the Boudoir: the instrumental string thing does sound like some medieval thing
67. Strange Eyes: weirder synth sounds. One of them sounds like something being flicked. I like the energy of that faster backing synth. And then there's the woeowwww woeowwww sounding synth (I don't know how to type that out)
68. Xylophone Track: some CHIMES at the start. Nice. Yeah not enough chimes so far. And we get some xylophone too. More niche stuff
69. Zebra: it feels fitting to end on a song that starts with "z". I gotta say I do appreciate how the instruments used vary a lot throughout the album

WHOOF that was a big undertaking. Good to have that done. It makes this album quite more memorable. Overall, the first disc (especially the first half the first disc) I quite liked

Intrumental side is eh to me. The lyrics aren't any better. Not my kind of country. Not that I'm super into country either

Like their previous album on the list, I like how they finish each other's sentences. And the illin song is fun

The more albums of an artist you know, the more sophisticated your hater status can be

A 2000s album that was removed in future editions of the book... somehow I liked it more that I thought. I think it was the talk-singing cause I like that. I like stuff with that atmosphere

Pretty peak. I really like Simple Man. And of course Free Bird

Title track goes HARDDD. Carries the album for me

This was... surprising. Not the Bee Gees I know, so that's good to discover the lore. As for the content itself, it was a slog to be honest. The intrumental parts were a bit different and the orchestra-ness was nice. But still. Doesn't save this album for me

Ok you know what. I'm going through the last 2 songs now and the Christmas theme is nice. There. Something that sicks out from this album. Heh

Makes me appreciate their 1st album (Murmur) more. I wasn’t as interested here

The 3:30 part of Doowutchyalike was funny. "Oh yeah it's 3:30 now, you radio people can fade it out now." *fades out* "Ok now any clubs or house parties or such can keep listening, here's more of Doowutchyalike"
