Upon first listen: No Queen Blues would be way better if Thurston’s vocals didn’t have that effect on them

CONFUSION IS SEX is easily top-half SY, possibly like Top 5 or 6. Tough call between that and this, very different albums but both excellent.

"Confusion or this?"

both tbh, this is probably slightly higher but there's not too much in it. this has a handful of absolute top-shelf classics, but the floor is pretty low

I’m only on track 8 right now but my impression is that Kim Gordon is constantly absolutely killing it but Thurston is kinda failing to deliver so far



Lee’s first song is great too

Yeah, this is absolutely a Kim album, although Thurston makes up for it on the closer (and Lee has a solid two-for-two). Bookends are both godly mmm

My soul has been longing for music like this. Haters gonna hate. Jesus IS king, and if
people are in need of anything they should seek him. But I'm sure people will read this
and believe whatever their heart has pre- decided. What they should instead do is ask
God FOR THEMSELVES because He most definitely can and will speak for himself, but I don't
think people even actually care to find Truth. Find God or die tryin. It's weak to assume
that the God of the universe can't be found. Hate on hata. But know that God has never been
a liar and Psalm 37:5 is the truth. I'm tired of playing games. Step up weakling and gain
strength. FORGET WHAT YOU THINK YOU KNOW. LET GOD PROVE HIMSELF. Man will most definitely fail you, but our time is limited and Yeshua is the truth.

bump Skip Tracer and Becuz, drop No Queen

but yh, Junkie's Promise in the #2 track was a brainless sequencing decision if ever there was one

That 3 song run of title track, Unwind, and Little Trouble Girl is sublime

Junkie’s Promise sounds so much like a Nirvana song and it’s about heroin… is it about Kurt Cobain or what?
