"Not terrible, definitely not great either lol. This made Trout Mask Replica much easier to listen to. Whatever you called this, I call this "proto-punk" because of the instrumentation and Yoko's screeching. Ringo's drumming is just fantastic."  Reply

"A surprisingly dance-y record from Saint Etienne who show that they've still got it with synthpop bangers and an intelligent set of lyrics firmly rooted in the love of music and the love of life.

"Released in 1975 this is a compilation of 14 tracks from their first 3 albums plus the single Fernando. It gelled together as an album though and was a massive seller in the U.K."  Reply

"Experimental music can be incredibly interesting to listen to. Recorded music has been changing so much over such a long period of time that hearing someone explore new areas of music, new sounds and new structures, can be really intriguing, and sometimes that music can be groundbreaking, or at t..."  [+]  Reply

"It's not bad. It's a really interesting album with some fantastic drum beats and unique basslines, but overall it seemed like there were more okay songs than great songs. It's not as good as TNT, but it's still a substantial effort. Best tracks: Eros, Blackjack, Speakeasy Worst tracks: Firefly, E..."  [+]  Reply
