"I like the beats and funky bass, and most of the production is pretty good if not exactly inspired or edgy. Very good and hard rapping, nice flow. The constant black persecution theme gets a bit old though, even blaming bad reviews on racism ("lynch a n-word on paper", eyes roll).

The constant black persecution theme gets a bit old though, even blaming bad reviews on racism ("lynch a n-word on paper", eyes roll). If more of the album could have been as musically interesting as "Dirty Mack" (best track for me), I could be a bigger fan of this album. But I still think it's a good album overall. It certainly creates an oppressive mood, and conveys the anger and violence of its time and place."[+]Reply
"I grew up in the Midwest. All I knew was heavy metal and head banging, or pop 40 Casey Kassim.

When I got to college I burned through classic rock, found alternative, which really took off big in 1993, and somewhere along I found this album and punk rock. I had no idea what it was. It was heavier than anything I heard before but it wasn't heavy metal. It had some 50's rock sound, some country, some rockabilly, and topics that I found foreign to me but I liked. In the end it spawned my adventure into my favorite genre, punk, and spent so much playtime it earned a spot in my top 10 favorite on my eclectic list. By the way, one test of a great album is if you can play it real low and sleep to it. This one passes that test and believe it or not makes you wake up happier, more at peace with the world. One regret, missing them in concert for this album tour - though I caught them a few times after."[+]Reply
"This early stuff deserves every bit as much recognition as At War With the Mystics or Embryonic. It's such a unique spin on the alternative rock of the time. Also, Everyone Wants to Live Forever is a top 15 Lips track."Reply
"Although Wild Wood pretty much set the ball rolling for me in all my musical travels, and Stanley Road has some unquestionably classic songs on, this is the one that gets played most often... the songs are great throughout (not one skipped track!)

It's more of a proper rock album than those others mentioned, and perhaps more in the spirit of The Jam.
Plenty of hooks and memorable moments."[+]Reply
"Can't believe it's been 20 years since the first time I heared 'Let's Get Rocked'. The Brit lads were really, really big here! 'Adrenalize' is my favourite. I like it better than 'Hysteria' (and when 'Pyromania' was released I wasn't even 3!). Favourites? 'White Lightning', 'Stand Up', 'Personal ...""Can't believe it's been 20 years since the first time I heared 'Let's Get Rocked'. The Brit lads were really, really big here! 'Adrenalize' is my favourite. I like it better than 'Hysteria' (and when 'Pyromania' was released I wasn't even 3!).
Favourites? 'White Lightning', 'Stand Up', 'Personal Property', 'Tear it Down' and of course the hit singles.
Immediatly after losing such a key member it's amazing to see how great this album is. "[+]Reply
"The first time I saw Uncle Tupelo play live, it was as the opening act for Michelle Shocked's Arkansas Traveler tour. They were the first of four artists to play--before Taj Majal, a much-diminished incarnation of The Band, and Michele Shocked herself.

They were the first of four artists to play--before Taj Majal, a much-diminished incarnation of The Band, and Michele Shocked herself. I wished Uncle Tupelo could have played for the whole show. They played mostly songs from March 16-20, 1992, and their tight, wholly acoustic performances matched those on the album--meaning they were absolutely spot on. The highlight here is their definitive version of "Moonshiner," a traditional Appalachian tune previously recorded by Bob Dylan and performed by Ronny Cox's character in the movie Deliverance, but utterly eclipsed by Jay Farrar's gut-wrenching, melancholic delivery here."[+]Reply
