Database Thug is a great band name.

I always wanted to get this knuckle tattoo

I would add “database thug” to my resume.

Also, for the record, I appreciate your “database thuggery”.

Cassie was is based out of NY. Recorded and had a relationship with Diddy. Love the sparse synths on this. Not sure there's any album like it. This one is just for you @Potato-Socks.

Dude, I've only ever heard the single from this album ("Me & U"). Is the whole album good? I'm sooo intrigued! Thanks!

Day 4 - Bombers
Seemed a good idea / To drop a bomb on the wasteland here
Play a record that is considered a bomb but that you love

F you P4K this album is not a 4

Pinkerton is the Weezer album I think of as being critically dismissed and initially labeled a “bomb” initially upon its release only later to become a beloved cult hit amongst the Weezer faithful.

Though I guess there were probably a few folks with unfairly high expectations for this album too.

I don't remember the reviews being that bad for Pinkerton back then but, then again, I didn't really follow the music press in those days.
Even now, I tend to read reviews only after listening to an album.
