Throughly enjoyable record with great production. Echo and the Bunnymen are so fascinating themselves, and this album adds to that mystique for me.
I have listened to this record a handful of times and it has yet to tire on me. Flawless pop with so much nuance, such variety!!
A new step for dream pop, and I love hearing Latin influences coming through here. Very cool sound, and a very enjoyable record.
Prince invited ASMR porn.
Just as good to me as Dirty Mind, and features no songs about incest!
Rolling Stones authors are big babies that need to be entertained by the constant jangling of keys
Got me through the death of an old friend. Forever indebted to this album.
Noise pop perfection. Seemingly simple but you truly cannot predict where it will go next, or at least I couldn’t. This is what mastering the fundamentals looks like.
Serves as both a return-to-form as well as a modern take on the sound that made them a household name. Pretension is so back
Knowing this guy’s story makes this album that much more special and heartbreaking to me. Marlene is a haunting song, I highly recommend giving that a listen after these 10 tracks.
So thankful this exists. More honest and vulnerable than most artists could imagine achieving. There’s a heaven if there’s a star for you, Daniel.
What great fun, man. I don’t know much about Mingus, but he seems to be the type of person to not take himself too seriously, and in a jazz musician as talented as he is that is incredible admirable.
You know when you listen to an album that you can tell is historically significant and is certainly incredibly impressive, and yet you never really want to listen to it again? That’s this for me. I have no desire to seek this out, but I’m glad it exists.
I truly don’t know how it took me so many years to get behind this album. I’m just glad I finally came around on it because it’s now one of my favorite albums ever. It has some of the best songwriting I’ve ever heard. Incredible production. Bowie is at his prime here.
