That was fun I liked that. I knew their top song but never listened to an album of theirs before. I like the guitar tone. RISE ABOVE WE'RE GONNA RISE ABOVE

Crazy how early it is

A neat vibe. Live concert at the prison

First "true" concept album is pretty neat. I like the album cover art

A legendary album at the transition from punk to post-punk

I have known their top songs for a while. I like the intro of the closing track Love Like Anthrax

I like the Nick Drake-y-ness and how the opening/title track is dedicated to Nick Drake

Rocket Queen is a great closing track. I know this album quite well

A like Slade. They be having fun

I really like the opening riff to Thank God it's Not Christmas. Was giving me Vampire Weekend vibes (but of course these guys came much earlier ha)

An absolute masterpiece. My favourites are Plainsong and Untitled and Pictures of You and Disintegration (title track) and Closedown. The album as a whole is truly an experience. I have listened through this album many many times…

I'm vibing. I've gotten to know Fela Kuti through the 1001 albums

Damn. Damn. Damn. Devastating. Damn.

WHEEEEERES YOURRR HEADDDD ATTTT (wrong album)

Meh (this album)

The synth distortion on the 2nd last track Don't Give Up was neat

At first, I was thinking how the slip-something-in-your-drink description is accurate. Then I read more about the album, and discovered how it's a concept album about an 18th century Venetian guy called Giacomo Casanova. And how it’s a bunch of critique of the slimy behaviour

Songs of Love has a nice swing to it. I like Theme from Casanova. Site node: National Express (not on this album) is a fun song

Originally at the start before learning more, I was thinking a lower rating… like a 2/5...

But damn I didn't expect the shift away from the recurring theme at the end with The Dogs & the Horses. Was unexpected and sad and good. And the theme makes sense now with the concept album-ness. Surprising boost up. A memorable album

The more energy I put into an album, the more I tend to like it or appreciate parts I wouldn't have. A more general thing to remember for life

4/5

"Here comes the pain!"

I've never really liked the popy side of Wait and Bleed

It didn't do much for me. It's just... so... plain. Yeah I know what the title track is about and I read its lyrics

You know... you're not supposed to listen to the 2 hours with all the bonus tracks. Just listen to the original release

1. Click the Wikipedia link
2. Click "Track listing" on the sidebar link
3. Listen to the "Original edition". No need for bonus tracks!

It should have been In the Flat Field

I respect making glam in 2003. I didn't like it that much for whatever reason. I liked the opening guitar part before the vocals. Also the tapping at the opening to the bonus track Makin' Out

I like the mamase mamasa mamacoosa of the first song

Wasn't a huge fan overall
