Absolutely disgusting and vile, never want to hear it again

I felt like I should love this album and I was right. I relistened to it randomly earlier and it still didn't click, but it also still felt like it should. I was drawn to it like a magnet for some reason. Then I showered and dressed with my best clothes (not for the album, but it complemented it well) and I heard it again, and suddenly I get it somehow. This album needs to be heard when your body is pristinely clean and your mind is the closest you can bring it to a blank slate. It sounds ... read more

Well, it's no wonder I didn't like this album that much when I first heard it two years ago, I focused mostly on the music. Musically this album is very boring, repetitive and minimalistic, and not even in a hypnotic way, it's just annoying. Dylan was so sick of the traditional/protest folk he sang in his former songs that he just snapped and went completely electric. Now you're gonna say "but the B side of the album isn't electric!" yeah, musically it's ... read more

Reasons why this is probably the greatest album of all time (at least if you ask me):
• The guitar in Jesus
• The 2 minute instrumental outro in What Goes On
• The organized chaos of The Murder Mystery
• The simplistic beauty of Pale Blue Eyes
• Everything about Candy Says
• The ending of Beginning to See the Light
• "Between thought and expression lies a lifetime" backed by minimalistic country rock (Some Kinda Love)
• The bittersweet outro, ... read more

Bialero and Portrait of Linda are some of the most powerful pieces of music ever recorded, I feel like I was just given divine revelation. The whole album is just breathtaking, one of the greatest jazz albums of all time

Hi (Hi), how are you? Hi, how are you? (Hi) How are you? Hi, Hi, how are you? (Hi) How are you? (Hi)

Poor man's Filth

Gimmicky and uninspired, some cool moments but overall just boring. Only song I really liked is Transmuted Matter

Reminder that this came out the very same year as Unknown Pleasures and The Wall, and 5-ish years before the revolutionary industrial albums Filth and ½ Mensch. Hopefully that will give you an idea of how unbelievably ahead of their time Throbbing Gristle were. But I'm not one of those people who rate an album high just because it's influential, so here's what I love about it: the detached, deadpan vibe and delivery of both the instrumentals and the vocals are so unique ... read more

Thought this is just some pretentious nonsense until those drums came in and it all made sense. Very unique, very chaotic, very apocalyptic, very good.

Roaming a barren wasteland in the aftermath of a mass extinction, in the remnants of a cyberpunk-ish world once consumed by its own hyper-dystopian downfall.

I haven't rated an album 10/10 on the first listen in so long. This is literally my dream album: Hole in the Heart meets Geogaddi meets The Ghost~Pop Tape meets Going Places. It fuses between ambient, noise, plunderphonics and vaporwave so seemlessly that it makes it feel like a completely new genre. I have never heard anything like ... read more

When you're alone on the bus at 12am with those artificial fluorescent lights and the pouring rain outside, feeling somewhat unsettled and somewhat comforted

Originally rated this 45 btw

Feels like walking out of a mental hospital only to be hit by a bus

Every single one of these iconic jams are embedded in my mind after listening so many times. Amazing performances from everyone and one of the best debut albums of all time for me

A phenomenal Avant-Jazz record that mixes the ecstatic energy of gospel music with Coltrane's rich skills. After Coltrane recorded his 1961 album My Favorite Things with a soprano sax that Miles Davis gave him, he had a new perspective on playing the tenor saxophone and started to explore everything he could do with his instrument. Coltrane, being a deeply introverted person that conveyed his thoughts mostly through his sax, had meanwhile been struggling with addictions, his mental health ... read more

This sounds like if a bunch of aliens tried making a pop album in the 60s. Incredibly lush and catchy, every day I have a different song from this album stuck in my head, every single one of them so otherworldly and so human at the same time.
