Lovely but not quite as good as the others from this genre we’ve come across. I’d like to go back and listen more closely to the percussion.

Two stars for the Sonics and 4 for this makes me think I’m a sucker for good production. Probably reaching but man did I love a few of these tracks, namely Faron Young and Appetite. Pretty interesting and fun throughout. Def some tracks that could be skipped.

Adding 1 star for Love Will Travel, made me want to go listen to different versions of these songs.

Interesting. At this stage it feels like they were pretty heavily influenced by The Doors which I wouldn’t have guessed based on later stuff. Pretty good but always feel like I’m not quite there with The Stooges.

This is my 4th album on a 6 hour flight so I might be in the wrong headspace but this felt empty. Definitely too long, some ok samples and beats but pretty one dimensional and boring. I want to like him because Boston has so few famous rappers, but this didn’t do much for me.

My wife has been getting on me for listening to Elvis despite him grooming a 14 year old. The next time she listens to Michael Jackson I’ll propose Terence as a more appropriate alternative.

Active listening: Worst thing I've ever heard.

Passive listening: Not the worst thing I've ever heard.

Ok beats to fold laundry to.

Pretty good but I feel like this album may be a victim to me hearing too much Morrisey. The morose wailing is a bit tiresome. Generally though… pretty good!

In isolation all of these tracks are pretty good, some really good, but the songs blend together. Using same setup the entire album (lead guitar has exact same effect on summer breeze as it does on opening track)

Got thrown off by first disc being english and second french but think i listened to most of it. Kinda cool. Goya Soda kinda bops.

Talented group of guys. Generally like everything from CSN and Y. Saved a few songs.

Pretty sloppy. I could see how he would contribute to PF but this is half baked at most.

I think you had to be there? I have so much context for 60’s music because of the docs like Woodstock. I do not have that for punk and even if I did I don’t think it’s as coherent a story.

Bailing halfway through. Very clearly not for me but I’m sure great for someone.

Run out of superlatives for Bob. Did decide that gun to my head BEST album we’ve had here so far is Blood On The Tracks. PS someone else review Trout Mask Replica.

I lost my hate it, but I gotta respect it. Also my two girls (6 and 3) wanted me to share THEY would give it 5/5. Shake it Off rocked when it came out. Generally though I just feel it’s so very lame. Taylor going on and on (for decades!) about her stupid love life. Marry him, dump him, who cares! It all feels so self-absorbed. Can’t argue with the hits though. Lotta those.

If you’ve heard one Cure song you’ve kinda heard em all.

Still a Kinks novice, but Arthur rocked me so taking these guys very seriously. This one sounds like the Kinks you’re used to and I think that’s the loose production sound. This wasn’t too far before Arthur so I’m sure there was a big shift somewhere. Enjoyed this, when you think you’ve figured a song out they hit you with a pretty interesting change. Prob 3.5 and rounding up.

This fuckin rocked. I think my introduction to Jerry? Guy has charisma out the ass. Thinking of hearing this in the early 60's and it must have been a thrill. This definitely stands out among the albums that could be considered to be more artifacts than relevant in 2026. Little Richard for example - to me this one sounds more POWERFUL and closer to what folks probably thought of LR at the time it was released.

Started with some promise and faded. Last track was also cool though.
