So underrated, so emotinal, lyrically its basic but, thats whats great about it. you hardly have to think unlike bands like TOOL where its a puzzle trying to figure out what there talking about. This is the greatest album I have ever heard and can satisfy everyone. its not too heavy, but it is rock. sometimes hes screaming, sometimes hes calm, sometimes whispering its great. with the best ending song of all time. "White Discussion".

Key tracks- Selling the Drama, I alone, All over You

"Its easier not to be wise, and to measure these things by your brain. I sank into Eden with you. Alone in the church by the sea"

Probably one of the most influential albums of all time spawning a ton of TOOL clones after its release. Very dark sounding and quiet speaking with funny moments.

"Any fucking time, any fucking day learn to swim I'll see you down in Arizona bay"

Punk was born when this album was created, sounds like the band is on a loud PA system screaming into your face. angry and crazy Iggy at his prime.

Ah, suffering almost the same fate as Cobain just 5 years into the bands career the lead singer killed himself, but his death was overshadowed by the death of John Lennon that was on the same day. Punk at its finest. Angry, emotional, beautiful.

key tracks- Lexicon Devil, Manimal, What We Do is Secret, Richie Daggers Crime

"I came into this world! Like a puzzled panther! Waiting to be caged but something stood in the way I was never quite tamed"

Yes, I like Master of Reality better because it is alot more consistent than this one. Theres 3-4 songs that I really love on it compared to Master of reality where I can listen to the whole thing and not skip a single song.
Key tracks- War Pigs, Paranoid, Iron man.

"Politicians hide themselves away they only started the war.
why should we go out to fight? we leave that all to the poor yea!"
