One of my favourite albums ever, very easily the best queens of the stone age album. I feel like no one understands my utter adoration for this masterpiece, even with its flaws and weak points (YOU WOULD KNOW) i feel like it holds up with an atmosphere and mystique and raw instrumentals. Highlights are You cant quit me baby (one of the best songs ever made and i will stand by that), walkin on the sidewalks, and i was a teenage hand model. Dont get me started on the bonus tracks because i could ... read more
A gorgeous myriad of charm and casual soul crushing lyrics. This album has something for everyone, as long as you promise to keep an open mind to whatever this album will throw at you. Love Love Love and Pale Green Things are the best two ending tracks to an album ever. it gives you whiplash when the album plays from the start again, and something, just something, has changed within the course of this beautiful journey. Upon hearing this album in full for the first time, i immediately bought ... read more
i love this album, but come on, this sucks. only redeeming factor is how blissfully fun it is, its like the calm before the storm ('The Calm' is awful, that ep sucks), and i guess that can be admired. there is genuine gold that can be enjoyed if you turn your brain off, but if you're expecting a good listening experience that will enlighten you, you wont find anything here. That being said, if you turn your brain off this album can be just fantastic. Welcome to Thy show is a fun ... read more
This album isnt perfect. i can admit that. But within that, there is something so beautiful and mesmerizing within its stringed instruments and used of brass and digeridoo. With a gripping opening track, with its swirling hypnotic drumming and the prominent bass that has been a defining feature of Jamiroquai ever since. not to even mention the digeridoo, which sunk its teeth into me and hooked me into the glorious world of the fantastical world of the protest in Emergency on planet earth. The ... read more
I would love to be able to disregard this album, put it aside, and never think of it again. I really would love to just get rid of it from my mind and for it to never return, considering some of the abysmal and musically horrid songs on this album, and yet. This infuriating mix of perfection and a frustrating, hair pulling disaster somehow wormed its way into my heart. I even find myself defending it, relistening to the bad tracks just to find some potential positives. Putting aside beautiful ... read more
Lick on the left side, lick on the right, lick down the middle oh shit thats tight!
Am i seriously going to write a full review for a joke song? yes. yes i am.
Not only is the guitar and drums FANTASTIC on this single (they didnt actually get THE jack white for this, did they?), but the rapping and lyricism from J and Shaggy is somehow fantastic for a song about Mozart wanting his asshole licked. I find myself so confused on why i really like this track so much, putting the aside that its one ... read more
its so easy to dismiss this. Its so easy to chalk this up as lazy and ill produced, but i find it so endearing. it isnt good in the slightest, lets make that clear. it has very cookie-cutter beats, and J seems unable to rap on the slower beats rather than Shaggy who seems to excel with them. the first actual song, disregarding the intro (which has the most basic beat known to man) is actually kind of good. its low quality is charming, similar to that of the appeals of a cassette tape (honestly ... read more
number 1 bizaar apologist here, created an account just to make this review. this is my favourite icp album, no contest about it. I adore almost everything about this album, and it really does just seem like Shaggy and J had fun with this one. the great milenko and jeckel bros released to great success so they decided 'fuck it' and just had fun with whatever THEY wanted to do. Coinciding with Twiztid's release of Freek show, twiztid appears on bizaar/bizzar quite a bit. Despite ... read more
