This album is perhaps the first example of rap-metal we've come across, and from that we may eventually get to Limp Bizkit. Having said that, the album isn't as bad as what will happen in the future and I was fairly content to listen to it all the way through.
Yesterday I heard the opening track, 'Blister in the Sun' for (what I thought was) the first time. It sounded so familiar that I spent the next few minutes trying to work out where I know it from to no avail. This morning I heard the rest of the album, and having enjoyed 'Blister in the Sun', hoping for more of the same. Which is exactly what I got.
There's a book you may or may not have heard of called '1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die'. Here is my attempt to do just that. Follow my progress from Frank Sinatra to Arcade Fire as I write my thoughts and feelings about each album.
