Best Pulp album. I could definitely see this getting an 100 in the future if Joyriders and Someone Like The Moon grow on me, but Joyriders feels really strange to start the album with and Acrylic Afternoons would've worked way better.
UPDATE: Relistened to both of those songs, I like them a lot more now. Joyriders still feels like an abrupt start to the album though
I'm gonna start by saying there might be some bias here, cause this album makes me very nostalgic of summer 2024 as I listened to it lots then. I'm not even sure why, nothing particularly interesting happened then
The production is generally less dated, but the vocal mixing is horrible. I'm not sure what happened, it sounds so weird. It doesn't completely ruin the album for me though because I think some songs actually suit it.
Putting a 7 minute long song halfway through ... read more
I'm all for a long album, but making one just for the hell of it and cramming it with filler every other track is ridiculous.
On the first half, every song had the same bland and boring synthy production, and then it got swapped for a more raw style, which was refreshing but after a couple of tracks like that it got tiring as well. I could've just listened to a single track from each half and have heard it all then due to how much the production blends each track into ... read more
I can see why people would call this overrated, as some of the less popular and accessible songs are just underwhelming and weird, but there are many undeniable classics on here such as Here Comes Your Man and Monkey Gone To Heaven.
Something I loved about this album is the track lengths. There are several shorter songs, but none that feel too short. Only 2 songs I felt overstayed their welcome, No 13 Baby and Silver, but that's probably just because I didn't enjoy Silver much
I really like the name of this album
For what it is, DGSS is pretty decent, but it's obvious the group are lacking without Noel.
Basically, this album is an album of those non noel-written Oasis songs that were always on the last 3 Oasis records. People always slammed Oasis for sounding like the beatles but I think they'd crap themselves if they heard this.
The production is just horrible. It's so incredibly dated and probably because Liam wanted to wank off to the beatles. ... read more
Really corny but not every track is that bad. Only 2 songs really stood out to me, and quite a few more I just didn't like.
Overall just extremely mediocre but an okay debut album?
This album is amazing, so cohesive and consistent.
My only complaint is that some of it feels too clean and organised for the genre unlike AWKIF but that feels really nitpicky
Decode isn't on the tracklist here but that's a 10/10 song, alongside Turn It Up and All I Wanted.
Probably the most decisive Oasis album. There's just a vibe with the 2000's albums that I like, and I'm not sure what it is exactly, but probably something brought from Gem or Andy. I'll always have a soft spot for this I think.
Absolution is where Muse began getting experimental, an aspect that is seen in later albums which usually causes them to lack in quality. However, in Absolution, it's executed perfectly.
Definitely a muse album!
Muse is my favourite band but they really missed with this. It's not even the genre change I have a problem with, it's the execution of it. Several songs flow poorly and the softer parts (again blockades) of certain songs just sound forced, weird and don't work. Every song on this album either have that problem, or are just boring in parts like the first half of Algorithm.
By far the best songs on this album are The Void and Thought Contagion. While ... read more
Honestly not the genre I was expecting at all, so I was surprised going into this. Not really my thing although I did enjoy a handful of songs, if I were high listening to this I would probably like it a lot more
ITS A CYRYRUUUUUYYUYUIUUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIAIIAIIAIIIJNG SHAME
