How many times did I want to call it the coolest album of the 80's only to correct myself that it was released in 1990...
My favorite hip-hop album ever. Idk why but listening to it is equivalent to playing Fallout New Vegas with Pip-boy's radio turned on, just fun.
Listening to Into the Night, realizing there ain't gonna be the fourth season
Nothing particularly bad is happening here, it's just the feeling that the majority of the tracklist sounds kind of generic. Nothing that I haven't heard from the genre. For example, the intro on Luna Roja sounds like Cherry-Coloured Funk way too much, it's impossible for me to take seriously. Nonetheless, Toma La Ruta is perfect.
I have way too many fond memories to share with this album to score it any lower.
Also, I remember having a very fun time playing the riff of «Over and over and over» on guitar.
I have a friend who's got the album cover tattooed on his leg. That thing alone got me wanting to listen to Doppelgänger.
I had zero complaints in the first half of the album. Everything was good, especially instrumentals. I understood the main focus of the album. Then, they added screaming vocals which honestly didn't sound right. I couldn't help cringing sometimes. Lyrics didn't help either. Too bad I don't feel this album enough to be at least a 70.
The best thing about this album is that the producer, who seems to be a very nice guy, became famous shortly afterwards. The worst thing is... everything else?
While it is bad, I'm annoyed at people who treated OML as the worst thing they'd ever heard upon release. It's not as bad as Weezer's Pacific Daydream which tried to to do the same thing in the same 2017 or Fall Out Boy's Mania which one's lead single was way worse than any single from OML.
But yeah, it is still bad for reasons that have been already discussed couple of times before.
I used to hate Limp Bizkit. Nowadays, I don't mind them. This album is still disastrous. And the fact that the majority of people I know (including my parents) consider Behind Blue Eyes to be Fred Durst's song pisses me off very much. I'd been waiting for Todd's Trainwreckords for RMV for quite awhile.
When it came out, for some reason (if there was any reason for this) next morning I met my teacher and bragged that I'd already listened to the new instant classic. It was not even Little Dark Age which came out the same day, like, why? Anyway, she came back the week after and told me I really overhyped it...I did.
Even when I was 15 enjoying the heck out of the album I had the thought "Doesn't Homecoming overstay its welcome a little?...a lot?"
Although it's not my favorite Final Fantasy game (I prefer IX over it) this OST is still the best of the series. Dancing Mad just might be the greatest final boss theme ever.
Oxxxymiron comes up with ambitious concept album describing dystopian world full of corrupcy and injustice. It has couple of interesting ideas but falls flat due to its naïve plot, rough metaphors and lack of songs listener could return to.
Remember YOUNG DABO's reaction to Blonde? I feel the same with A Crow Looked at Me. First song ends - I'm in shambles. I get teary eyed just remembering the opening lines of Real Death.
My girlfriend works as consultant at a museum. Once, they had Andy Warhol exhibition. In the souvenir shop they had Marilyn bags, Campbell piggy banks, etc. There were also T-shirts with this album cover. My gf remembered that I had a vinyl copy of the album and decided to buy me the T-shirt. Not only I was glad, her boss made her a worker of the month just for that purchase:)
Girl I wanted to date invited me to their concert so I tried to get into them. Later, she changed her mind. Welp, at least their music was decent enough so I didn't consider the time absolutely wasted:')
