Album Rating: 4.0

Suck my Pixie dick. I know I'm adorable. I'd be careful using cute as a condescending term if one of your only 7 ratings is BTBAM, though lmao.

what's wrong with that

Album Rating: 4.0

Nothing, sweetheart. It's cuuuute. < 3 Did you just discover metal yesterday? God, that gets me going.

I don't like metal I'm fragile.

Doolittle is miles better imo

Album Rating: 5.0

Doolittle is fantastic, but this is far better. It's rawer, way more fun, and just creative and full of energy. Few albums are like it.



Bands like Nirvana, early Radiohead, and early PJ Harvey all yearned to recreate this energy. 2 of which sought out Steve Albini to produce their albums because of it

"Why not Ars?"



Well this pretty noisy rough stuff and I've never seen you really go for any noise rock, though it's lighter than like Big Black etc.

Album Rating: 3.5

Well I love plenty of noisy stuff on the noise pop/shoegaze spectrum, and this is considered an indie rock classic.



Regardless, I'm listening now and will post my thoughts when I'm done.

Album Rating: 3.5

I liked it! Didn't love it right off the bat and Ars is right that this isn't totally my thing but I think it will grow on me a lot. I tried to imagine what this would have sounded like in 88 too - this sound has clearly been copied a lot since but I imagine it was more original back then. As someone else mentioned the vocals aren't the best but they fit the style.



Also, I've definitely heard Bone Machine and Where Is My Mind? before. Those must have been minor hits? Where Is My Mind? especially, I've heard that riff tons of times before.
