This album is as average as an album can be.
The tracks from the deluxe edition are the best things in it to be honest
Pretty straightforward. Pretty good.
GEMS:
• Regular John
• Avon
• Mexicola
• I Was A Teenage Hand Model
Yeah, Celebration has cringy lyrics but fuck it I won't give this a 99 because of that
GEMS:
• Head Like A Hole
• Something I Can Never Have
• Sin
• Ringfinger
This and "Three Friends" are my personal favorites.
GEMS:
• Pantagruel's Nativity
• The House, The Street, The Room
• Black Cat
• Plain Truth
The xx makes fragile music.
Sometimes so fragile it breaks into an ocean of monotony and boredom, such as in their sophomore album "Coexist".
Whilst I do think it suffers from the same problem their debut did (they can't mantain/surpass the bars set on the first half of the album throughout the entire record), I'm digging this way more than anything they've ever made. Probably because of Jamie's production here that resembles some stuff from "In Colour" (which I still think ... read more
A messy album filled with some really, really good songs and some plain good songs. What fucks it up, however, is the sequencing. But it's kind of a cool exercise to make your own tracklist of this album.
GEMS:
• Sit Down. Stand Up. (Snakes & Ladders)
• Go To Sleep (Little Man Being Erased)
• There There (The Boney King of Nowhere)
• A Wolf At The Door (It Girl. Rag Doll)
God, this album is really awesome but I fucking hate how it got butchered by poor mixing. Every different copy you get from this has a different problem.
It's really fucking out there, weird-ass, unlistenable music that makes you feel uneasy all the way through. And it's the only album that can manage to sound like that and isn't pretentious bullshit. And that's why Captain Beefheart is one of my favorite eccentrics in music.
This can be so boring at times... but there are some really high points here. See-Saw is one of their most beautiful songs
If 100 = 10 good songs
Then 40 = 4 good songs
That's what this album is. A sad equation.
(Actual Review)
Even though I think "The Final Cut" is a really good album, Pink Floyd was pretty much dead already there because, as I said on my review, it sounds like a solo album from Roger Waters.
Now it's Gilmour's turn to make his solo statement and call it "Pink Floyd". And it turns out to be their worst album.
This was the last nail on Pink Floyd's coffin.
