You didn't buy my record? Shame on you.

This one earns a solid 8/10 from me. It's a fantastic record with a couple of weak spots.

This is what Broadcast would've sounded like if they'd been around in the 60s. I like having these kind of short-romp albums around. First track and Coming Down (plus transition into Love Song for the Dead Che and the suite at the end) were some of the highlights for me.

For me this falls into "good, but not great", but there's room to grow. This is gonna get a 6, but I wish it the best of luck.

Possibly my favourite "classic" psych album, which isn't necessarily saying much, since I'm not the biggest fan of the genre.
Still it's a fantastic album. Some of it is a bit dated, some a bit boring, but everything below an 8 wouldn't do it justice. Therefore: 8.

That’s just a fancy way of saying unassailable.
