A little-known masterpiece of hazy hippie burnout music kinda like David Crosby's 'If I Could Only Remember My Name' but even better. Unlike Crosby's album, it transcends it's era and achieves a timeless quality. There are songs here that sound like Elliott Smith. Others sound like they could have come off Nirvana's "Unplugged". And this is 1973! Amazing stuff.

Ever find yourself thinking, "May the unholy curse of fiery damnation devour this wretched world for not giving me enough Joni Mitchell music."? We've all been there, right? Well, my friend, have I got good news for you!: For the low, low price of free (cuz the internet), you can get your hungry ears on this long lost forgotten Joni Mitchell album from 1972! For some weird reason the streaming services misidentify the artist as "Ronee Blakley". Wha? Must be some kind of glitch. Eh, whatevs. The point is that we have another classic-era Joni album to listen to! Is it as good as Blue or Court and Spark? Well, no. But beggars can't be choosers so quit your bitching and have some appreciation for the fact that an extra Joni album even exists. The world can be spared for now.

Mix about two parts stadium-era Simple Minds with one part Big Chair-era Tears for Fears and you'll have a pretty good idea what to expect here. Singer and main songwriter Gustavo Cerati even sounds like the perfect cross between Jim Kerr and Roland Orzabal. It doesn't get much more '1986' than this. And I mean all of that in a good way. "Prófugos" and the title track are highlights, but the whole album is excellent. Fans of the above-mentioned bands will not be disappointed.

Ah, yes. This is just what the doctor ordered. A lovely, meditative set of timeless, ethereal chamber folk. My musical migraine cure for 2018. And with the drummer from Sonic Youth, of all people. Why the hell isn't this on any of the critic's lists for the year? It's damn near perfect music.

Though I hung up my metalhead ways years ago, I can still appreciate the simple check-your-brain-at-the-door joys of this hilariously over-the-top pop-evil masterpiece. You know the hits. But everything here is great. "The Price" is a cool moody ballad. "Burn In hell" is my favorite. Not a month goes by when I don't hear it in my head: 'You're gonna burn in hell!" Great 80's nostalgia.
