Two of the most perfect pop songs ever written, and a bunch of other good to great ones
Severely Underrated. Death Valley ‘69 is the best no-wave era Sonic Youth song
I love LCD Soundsystem but why is James allergic to making a song under 7 minutes
What is it with 60s British rock bands and filing their albums with mediocre covers
I love Fresh Fruit, but I feel that nearly everything that album does, this one does better. While Fresh Fruit is a great collection of songs, Plastic Surgery Disasters truly feels like a cohesive album; I love the sequencing, with all the short songs occupying side A, building up to side B’s longer, more menacing tracks, which of course culminates with “Moon Over Marin”, one of the greatest punk songs ever written
Starts off promising, but quickly looses steam
Kind of hard to keep the energy up if you open your album with the greatest song ever written, followed by several mediocre country songs. I will say though, the last two tracks absolutely win me back
Still Ill is one of my favorite Smiths songs, but the rest of the album is just alright. Would be better with This Charming Man
Goes to show just how much of a lightning in a bottle “Entertainment” truly was
I go back and forth all the time, but on most days if you asked me what my all time favorite album is, I would answer this one
