What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my library (vinyl)



Surprised this came out this low. I thought I liked it. lol. I must have got over them. This
sucks. Nothing I love and five I don't like. Obviously I'm in the minority, allmusic gives this
their perfect score. Even Gary's Got A Boner couldn't save it for me. I was detecting some REM
sounds here before I noticed that Peter Buck helped out on the leadoff track, which was the
first single. This is the bands third album and they were struggling to break away from the
punk sound of the previous two albums. Roughly half of the album kept the punk intact. They
never hit the chart here with this one, but the critics loved it, showing up on all the end of
year lists. The title of the album was a direct reference to the Beatles album and they
considered calling the follow up, Let It Bleed. Some smart person must have talked them out of
it.
