always a sucker for a little twang but i don't really feel anything else off of this that would compel me to return very often

cannot fucking stand Lemmy's god awful voice and while I don't think lyrical content exactly constitutes a moral affront or anything, Jailbait (among others) does make me personally feel very skeeved out (which could possibly be forgivable if it was a banger (it isn't))

Rated 4/10

look I'm not saying this is totally without value and that scott walker lacks talent or skill, but i am saying that i found it boring and annoying

i think if i had been way into this at the time I'd probably love it, but as it stands it's just fine

having never heard of this band, their name and wikipedia excerpt (1993 indie rock) gave me the impression that i was about to listen to one of the 90's Most Licenceable Albums but thankfully those expectations were subverted. instead i got some pretty cool post hardcore with a little industrial mixed in for good measure. the vocals aren't my favorite but they're low enough in the mix for me to tune them out and enjoy that guitar tone

pretty good but left no real impression on me, and didn't seem particularly noteworthy or significant for the era. guess you had to be there!

utterly, painfully, unremarkable music paired with a voice that can be described as generically good but will never be hailed as unique or particularly interesting. I'll give rufus the benefit of the doubt that this was a labor of love and the result of his true artistic expression, which actually does make it somewhat impressive that it sounds like it was created exclusively in response to the feedback of focus groups
