Album Rating: 4.0

so far this is very much the first dud album from stereolab. not feeling this too much

Album Rating: 3.5

the next two are dudier

probably am (admittedly) a bit kind of this one myself but it still vibes

this and Chem Chords are about equal (although Chem Chords has more highlights and is therefore better) and neither is as much of a drag as Mars Audiac, but otherwise yeah welcome to the bottom 33% bb

Album Rating: 3.5

more like Mars BOREdiac, lul

...not quite, but seriously that one is still my least fave pre-Marge I reckon (think I misguidedly placed Peng lower in my fledgling lab-liking era)

Album Rating: 3.0

Mars is on the same level as Emperor imo.

I'd say Marge is the weakest (mainly because of the stereo mixing) followed by Chem which drags in the middle.

Album Rating: 4.0

this massively grew on me

Mars is on the same level as Emperor imo. [2]
Exactly, both albums at 4.5, what the hell are talking about?

Album Rating: 3.5

whoa, no cannot go so high when Dots, Transient, Cobra, Sound Dust (and Refried Ectoplasm) are all clear

Emperor is admittedly closer to Mars (and Peng!) than the top expanded tier above tho
