Rated 8/10
*This was a cool discovery...I had heard Genius of Love tons of times but didn't ever really think about where it came from.
*Also didn't realize the Talking Heads connections
*This got a little too experimental at times but I loved the beat and originality of its time
Rated 6/10
*A lot of similarities to Coldplay for me
*The up-tempo songs were pretty good, but it got too slow at times
Rated 6/10
*Love the fuzz guitars and lo-fi punk sound
*Do not like that the vocals sound like they are bored with their own band...I know this is fundamental to later shoegaze, but I don't like that genre at all.
Rated 8/10
*These guys are all about the guitars.
*I always thought these guys were more hair metal than rock/pop-rock/prog/etc. but this had different sounds which made it for a good listen
Rated 6/10
*Great start to the album with many proto-punk tracks
*The albums slows down on the B-side
Rated 6/10
*Stan is fantastic but a lot of this became dated quickly and sounds like it exists for shock value only.
*Also a victim of 90s/2000s CD overload with too long a running time
Rated 6/10
*Love that these guys like the Hammond organ/keyboards so much
*Not a huge fan of the length of the title track- some of the solos get repetitive
*Still a decent psych-rock album
Rated 6/10
*Tons of tracks makes this a little long, but great musicianship
Rated 10/10
*Ramones with a saxophone? Yes please
*Also like that some of the songs have some variety to them...this rocks.
Rated 4/10
*Too dreamy and low key...Cocteau Twins are just not for me
Rated 6/10
*We are Family is clearly the notable track from this album
*Great bass lines on these disco tracks
*I've always thought Sister Sledge was a better name for a metal band
Rated 8/10
*Cool history and great live performance
Rated 6/10
*Positive hip hop with cool sampling methods
*Runs a bit long
Rated 8/10
*Catchy songs with more pop influence than punk, but still with critical lyrics
*Oliver's Army is a great single
Rated 6/10
*Standard country from a time when country was a regional genre.
Rated 8/10
*I had never heard of this band as a a punk fan, this rocks.
*Some songs are a little unrefined but the garage rock production and the organ for 1966 was so ahead of its time.
Rated 6/10
*Roundabout is awesome, but unfortunately the album doesn't continue to sound like that. The keyboards and bass are cool, but they don't elevate this album to more than a 3.
Rated 6/10
*I can't get into this music more than enjoying it as background.
*Good musicianship and I liked the parts that sounded like punk.
Rated 6/10
*Get it On is a great song and the psychedelic/funk sounds are very cool
*At times the tracks get a little slow
*Strong lyrics but this mostly felt like mumbling over a grunge guitar
*To be fair, this is not a favorite genre of mine anyway
