Maybe... I still don't know Why is the second best album of the 80s but yeah.. this is their best album for a while (The Smiths is just a little little bit inferior to this)
Check out Meat is Murder as well - you might like it better. For the longest time it used to be my favorite Smiths album.
Now listening this one (80's psych aka Paisley Underground):

First listen, courtesy of Nick, the cover was intriguing so here I am. Well I must say it's very good so far, the heavily distorted guitar in the background is marvelous, and the organ just makes it better. Great fun, thanks!
Edit : yeah it's fucking superb. Everything sounds slightly distorted, it gives it a very unique charm. Good melodies also. The musicianship is really top notch.
Glad that you like it - have to admit you've got a very diverge taste. 😜
Yeap, funny cover...we have to come up with a funny covers chart (if there isn't one out there yet)... 🤣 _________________ "And can’t you see you’re in on it?

Second listen. Right now, I'd call this my fave Native Tongues release along A Tribe Called Quest's second and third albums. For some reason, the NT bands never really managed to have any emotional impact on me. I mean, I like ATCQ very much, I just fail to connect with any of their works. I'd say they have the max amount of love possible from me without ever touching me. Much like Ride, for example. They're very good, yet their music is just... distant? I don't know. As beautiful as these artists' music is, it never gives me goosebumps for example. It's just technically excellent. Not sure if it makes sense, though, like I said, I enjoy them a lot, but I guess there are things you can't connect with out there.
Well, this is brilliant, and as I'm typing this and the music goes on, I am more and more certain that this is as of now my favorite NT album. I owe ATCQ's records a relisten though ; whereas the Jungle Brothers and De La Soul are relatively recent discoveries for me, I haven't listened to either Low End Theory and Midnight Marauders in quite some time.
Edit : oh, and the Jefferson Airplane sample is total genius.
