That signature thick Albini sound with some quite good, but not exactly all-timer amazing, Deal songs.

I miss the era of rap where banger after banger was set against a sea of terrible skits.

Hard yet soft rock with dorky synths and chopped up sampling is an interesting combination.

Like if The Shaggs sounded like they knew what they were doing.

A blast of fun, catchy, charming 90s alt pop.

I hear everyone hates Peggy now, but I like the EXPERIMENTAL production on this, even if it's ironically not breaking much new ground.

I wish everything had that wall-of-sound sound that A Man Needs a Maid and There's a World have.

The classics are classics for a reason and let's not forget the song that inspired 70s rock's greatest diss track.

I like dark folk with a lot of group vocals and this a fine addition to that micro-genre.

Every song is the same 4 chords for 20 minutes. Does Kurt find choruses vile?

I found the evolutionary missing link era between Andy's early material (where he sang more normally) and his later material (where it sounds like his jaw is wired shut).

Effortless melodies whispered by a singer who doesn't want to wake his roommate.

"My girlfriend's greyhound has a much bigger penis than me."

Another charming Bug Club album full of catchy contrarian rock and emotional slow numbers.

While it's hardly his best work and his voice is in decline, what octogenarian (other than Dylan) is making anything nearly this good?

Chaotic alt rap rock that changes arrangement from measure to measure.

Dada you can dance to.

If Starsailor is taking meth on the moon, Lorca is smoking weed in the woods.

I wish this was the psychotic masterpiece that you get glimpses of on Side 2.

There's something about a frenetic new wave band that writes satirical songs about the nightmarish capitalist consumer culture that just makes sense to me.

"We need the sky for scale to feel small."

A quirky mix of spare textures and desolate lyrics.

Manic, bright, dynamic pop that makes you want to do anything but cry.
