this heat

Captain Beefheart

will never not be impressed that this came out in 1983

Album Rating: 5.0

Push comes to shove this is the greatest.



Jump started and was a catalyst for alt-rock and moulded the next 30 odd years of music culture.

Has a timeless abundance of energy

Starts with Radio Free Europe

Has pilgrimage on it.



Absolute classic record.

Album Rating: 4.5

Amazing album, although I do prefer Automatic for the People ever so slightly to this one

Album Rating: 5.0

Same Automatic is a top 5 of all time for me. Possibly top 3.

AftP is good and all but come on guys

Album Rating: 5.0

Album was bloody monumental when it came out.



Drive

Try Not to Breathe

Nightswimming

Find the river



All make my top 200 songs of all time. The fact they’re on the same album is insanity.

Album Rating: 4.5

Nightswimming and Find the River alone put Automatic above this. Absolute god-tier way to close an album

Album Rating: 5.0

Yep it doesn’t get much better. One off stuff that is.

Honestly criminal that Everybody Hurts became a big radio hit and Nightswimming didn't

Still, Catapult, Moral Kiosk and Shaking Through are the three to beat for me. 80s indie doesn't get any better than that

this is their peak for me for sure

Live me some early REM

Album Rating: 4.0

Been way too long since I listened to this, album's a total classic. And yeah this, Automatic and Reckoning are probably my three favourites.

Album Rating: 4.5

One of the best debut albums in music's history. A classic in my book!

Happy birthday to this classic

hell yeah

Album Rating: 4.5

such a blissful dream of a record
