AllMusic said that Enema of the State "isn't going to change anyone's life" - I respectfully disagree because while it first changed mine when I was 13, it has managed to surprise and shock and touch me every year since. The morning I turned 20 I listened to Adam's Song and cried, grateful for life and music and rain.

1979 may have been the peak I fear

Basically a 47 minute song

The worst JM release is still a passable one, but god does it epitomize itself as a collection of millennial cringe. Only really enjoyed "Wild Blue" and "New Light." This is the same man who wrote "In your Atmosphere," mind you.

Very, very okay. Has the potential to be so much more, but ultimately reduces itself into a smart album that plays silly - unremarkably so.

Really enjoyed this! "Hater's Anthem" was an unexpected favourite, alongside the title track and "Slow Burn." Lacks a bit of overall cohesion, wish it had a stronger ending to really tie it all together.

played "Gold Dust" during my shift and witnessed it bring a grown man to tears.

oh wow. oh wow. oh wow.

absolute banger but have you listened to the bloody demo??!

To me, this is a near perfect album. Partly due to nostalgia, fostered through my memories of my teenage years but also the fuzzy, twangy synths that create a sense of cohesion alongside McKenna's life-affirming lyrics. It is, indeed, a life-affirming album. I dare say it ends with a perfect three-song run. Ecstatic to have been a fan of McKenna since his debut!
