The production on this album is minimalistic yet creates an absolutely amazing atmosphere. It feels gritty and perfectly suits Pusha's style of rapping making for an amazing blend of beats and lyricism. The sampling on this album is some of the most unique I've ... read more
This is a good debut album from an amazing band and has some stellar tracks but it is clear that the band is still trying find there footing in the Art Rock scene.
This album sounds super good for something that was mostly recorded in a basement. The instrumentation is super unique and stands out when comparing it to most of the Indie Rock that was being released at the time. The bass lines are tight with a danceable groove, the guitars are sharp yet almost cold and the songs almost always ... read more

First, when looking at the production there are so many elements that make this album sound great but the easiest way to put it is the blending of simplicity with effective melodies. The simplicity of the production is not to take away from the album but rather what helps ... read more
One of the greatest debut albums of all time, no... one of the best albums of all time, period. The way this album blends Blues and Psychedelic Rock is just absolutely genius and there is nothing that is quite like this.

Is this the same guy that made Ziggy Stardust??? Well I knew that this album wasn't regarded very highly but I still has a bit of hope considering this is Bowie we're talking about.
This album sounds like something that I would hear playing at my local pubs live performances. I wouldn't say it sound completely unlistenable or terrible but it doesn't sound great at all. Its just sounds like a trashy collection of pop songs.
When looking at the lyrics the themes are super ... read more
