This sounds like something The Dude would abide by. Now, just because it makes me feel like a cool stoner doesn't mean it's that good of an album. After all, 'Realing in the Years' is one of the single worst classic rock songs that actually got famous. However, if it's still fun to listen to, I don't see the issue.

Weirdly enough I think it's cool but I don't really like that many songs on here. The ones I do like are admittedly a little boring. 'Breathe' is a vibe but it's not that moving of a song. 'Time' has great lyrics but outside of that, it's not my cup of tea. 'Great Gig in the Sky' is not at all a great song on its own, and it kind of ruins the flow. 'Brain Damage' was weirdly relatable, which I find to be both funny and concerning. The transitions from one song to another were fantastic, and I feel that is what makes this album truly a must-hear.

Rated 8/10

This is one of those albums that runs off of vibes and not quality. The songs themselves are not good. I can't count the amount of times I've heard 'Tom Sawyer' and wanted to claw someone's eyes out. 'Limelight' is so bland it can only be Rush. But when I listen to an album that's just meant to make me feel like a teenage 70s burnout, it all suddenly sounds good together. The good vibes just kept on coming.

Generic electronic, which is a shame for the Chemical Brothers, who usually create a perfect sampling of 90s electronica. Here, however, we have uncreative and bland tripe. The only good song was probably only good because it had Noel Gallagher.

I think there was one song I genuinely liked and everything else was not my thing. I can't give it one star because it had a good song, but if it wasn't for that song(which, I can't even identify because they're all indistinguishable), it might be a 1. The only thing that's 'bloody' about it is annoying.

This is way more cheesy 80s jazz than I signed up for. I mean there was a complete night and day difference between the first three songs and everything else. At first I was like, "I can dig this," but the second that godforsaken fourth song started playing I was wondering what I was doing with my life. The fifth and sixth songs were even worse. It got a little better by the time 'Brothers in Arms' came around. 45 minutes later.

A beautiful, almost medieval love story immersed in a woodland atmosphere. 'Sun It Rises' may not have been a strong beginning, but 'White Winter Hymnal' and 'Ragged Wood' carried the album, and 'Your Protector' was a particularly strong point. It was a little uninspiring, but overall, it was a very pleasant listen.

"Now, boys... the network has a problem with some of your lyrics. Would you mind changing 'em for the show?"
"Forget you, clown."
"Hey, our lyrics are like our children, man. No way."
"Well, okay. But here, where you say, 'What I got, you gotta get and put it in you,' how about just, "What I'd like is I'd like to hug and kiss you'?"
"Wow! That's much better. Everyone can enjoy that."

Anyone else feel weirded out by this? It's just such a weird mix of nostalgia and melancholy and maybe even some drugs. Typically the 70s are always a groovy time but it just seems kind of too mellow here.
