Far as rap hiphop albums go this is perfection for me. My era of rap. I do lean more towards the early years of hiphop with the Pharcyde, Tribe, de la etc. But as a teenager Tupac was our everything. And idk if even 2pac fans know about this album at least they didnt back in the day. More now with Spotify and word of mouth. This is a part of My middle teenage life soundtrack.

Give my score some grace. I have not been a JW lover these last 26 years, more of a strong admirer from a far kind of person. He clearly is as gifted a guitar player & musician as we have in the world & of my generation, I can see that. For me it is not something I want to live in less times than more and that is due to the heavy grittiness of it. I do not spend enough time in the garage tinkering with shit. If and when I do enter that phase you can bet I will be into Jack heavy. until then I will continue to enjoy him in orange tic-tac portions.

I Dig it very much. I don’t think it’s a home run but at this age to hit a double it’s pretty pretty pretty good. I am still chasing Turn On the bright lights with this band. I think I might be in the minority.

This is not 100% for me but I think they know that and lean into it. I call it Frantic jazz. I do not know and would be shocked if anyone was anything LIKE THEM. That alone makes them special. I can appreciate what they are doing and I enjoy them. I have a hard time finding the right time to sit and live with this though. Hard to find the right mood / timing to lounge with this. I will someday and really appreciate what these two geniuses are doing. I cannot wait to explore the first album, I think it is a bit less frantic paced.

A classic. Dance your self clean to me is one of the greatest songs ever and all of this album is essential listening for me and where I am today with music. Would be perfect if not for Drunk Girls.....this one didn't age well and is kinda eh. Rest is so gosh dang good it overcomes it. I am a late bloomer to LCD, I only discovered them form a Bon Appetite magazine of all places. Dance your self clean was in a wrap of trends they noticed while compiling their best new restaurants list. I went to listen to and history after that. I wonder how he feels about drunk girls these days? I did a search and he has not played it this year at any show.

Another classic early Beatles record...I feel it's a companion record (older brother maybe?) to A Hard Day's Night. Their songwriting starts taking an introspective turn here in tracks like Help! and Yesterday, moving beyond their formula for (very good) puppy love tracks. I love how history influences music (and vise versa), so a track like Help! is doubly impressive in how it bridges the two - framing the specific chaos of Beatlemania through a universal feeling of loneliness.

I was watching new TV show and in the first bit of the show this Vietnam vet was looking through his old house to find this record. His wife had left him while he at war and all he wanted from his home life was this record. The through line of the episode was him getting this album back. (loose memory of the details here but you get it) I went and listened to it immediately. I assumed the writer had a connection with it and wanted to live in that experience. I understood about half way through the album. To this day and everyday forward I buy this album for anyone I come across who I find out has a record player. It is THE essential album to own.

Ahh such a fun album. Think B-52s if they were not so out there, in this era and more indie electronic. HAI think that is right! feels right! wonder how they would feel about comp. Just a good time hang and really well designed pop indie music. I could see them crushing a festival back in the day.

Came out in 1998! sounds like it is from this decade. How I missed this as a teenager pisses me off. I could have spending the last 18 years with this absolute masterpiece. SHAME ON anyone who has listened to this over the last 18 years and has not once a week stopped 108 people to tell them about Placebo. Without you I am nothing. I am mad at all of you.

It is perfection and set the tone for all music taste to follow for me. When this came out I was just learning to be an adult (still learning) and it opened up a world that is still here and growing. It means a lot to me and every second is as valuable to me as anything is I spend time with musically or cinematically. What Amelie is to movies for me Give up is to me for Music.

Says r&b / soul but it’s way more than that. It’s indie rock soul with r&b vibes. It’s unique. It’s perfectly produced and laid out wonderfully

My first time with Bonobo and will not be last. Loved spending time with this beautiful produced and engineered album. Perfect electronic music in my opinion. a clear 2026 best for me.

Absolute legend of an album. only thing keeping it from a perfect 10 is the chatter around the songs. which I love as a part of the experience I get it but on the 200th listen I sometimes just want to hear the songs solo.

Hell of a FUN listen. wow. I love this.

Gorgeous but somehow haunting at the same time. Really capsulated the feel of the cover art. Great debut. Glad I found this. Clear best of 2026 for me. must listen. Oh and Blood is one of my favorite songs of the year If not my top favorite.

top 20 most underrated albums of its era. Hold up with anything in its world from that decade. A Must listen. I see copies for $5 all the time! just crazy pants.

Similar to With the Beatles, I think it's fair to contextualize how both records were pushed out quite quickly. Beatles for Sale was released just ~4 months after A Hard Day's Night. There's still gems sprinkled in this one, although it falls a bit flat for certain songs. It does have a Beatles classic (I'll Follow the Sun). What You're Doing is a very underrated Paul song!!
