I realized today I don't know most of the songs off of this album except for Glory Box and I think one other. I like this one a lot too! I think both yesterday's album and today's were very different but I'd gladly listen to either again. 4/5.

This should be a sticker on the cover, like a parental advisory.
Warning: May contain Steely Dan vibes.

Haha, I thought I gave it a four last time but didn't feel like looking it up. Today's listen it felt more five worthy.

About Garbage. I know this has come up before but I really had no idea the album was so polarizing? In defense of Garbage's S/T - Yes the album is rock / alternative - Maybe you can argue that they refined & designed the music for the masses - but isn't' that what Pop is? You can put them in whatever box you think it belongs in but Garbage is pop. This album was huge in the 90s and I think with good reason.
With that said, I was an impressionable 90's MTV generation teen when this came out and it rocked my world. I remember first seeing Queer on MTV (back when they played music videos) and I was love lol. The sound / style I'd argue probably defined my taste in music for years to come, so to me, this is a very important album. The S/T is my favorite of theirs and is actually one of my favorites of all time - it's easily a 5/5 for me.

Portishead Dummy is a 5/5 for sure. I always did prefer listening to their S/T album but only because I think that album is perfect. There's nothing I don't like about this album though - but I do end up listening to songs from this vs the whole album usually - but that's because some of my favorites from them are on this as well.
I do need to relisten to Third again. I feel like the album was so different that it never clicked as well as the first 2 did. But I have a feeling I'd have a different perspective all these years later.

Came up recently on my personal 1001 and I was in a similar space as this. Really clicked this time. Hope it does for you too!

Kitchen kept me from really doing the dive I wanted to on the Portishead. Moody spy music that makes you think about dancing while chilling at the house. Pretty perfect music, all said and done. 5 stars

Scores updated. As expected, Aretha went to #1. Tribe falls to tied for third with Fiona. Brubeck moves into #2.
Todd Rundgren is still last with Brian Eno right ahead of him.

This is one of my all time favorite albums by one of my all time favorite artists. I'm fairly certain the CD was the first Neil Young I ever owned. I might can crank out a long form on this one.

Rust should be available and I've never had an issue with any of his official releases. I think I have an older version of this. I'm fairly certain my Live Rust is from @Yer Ol' Uncle D , but I think I won an ebay auction at Carolina Soul for this one. My memory is foggy though. I drank a lot back then.

Yeah, I imagine I could probably find one at my local tomorrow, were I to head there. I haven't prioritized Neil at all. In fact, up until 3 months ago, I had zero Neil Young on the shelf. I inherited a copy of Comes a Time from my grandparents' collection, but I passed it along to a friend who is a much bigger Neil fan than I am. Then in short order, said buddy gave me a copy of After the Gold Rush that he scored from the bargain bin, and I bought Zuma from our pal Sonic Pharmacist. I've been enjoying the passive pick-ups so far, but I suspect Live Rust may wind up being one of the ones I'm a little more active in procuring. Particularly knowing that official Neil generally means great pressings.
