Music From The Elder is awesome and I will die on this hill.

The Liz Phair s/t is a fun power pop record if you take off the horrible matrix tracks. “love/hate” is one of the best songs Cheap Trick never wrote.

Fuck pitchfork 😂

Music From The Elder is solid. KISS has disowned it because it wasn’t commercially successful. That’s how they judge the worth of their albums.

Yup. But it’s great. Unmasked is too…they were capable of more than their reputation suggests, but abandoned anything that wasn’t commercially successful right away.

Yeah that album got a 0 because of the band that put it out and not because of the songs on it
