    "Ralph Lauren-clad indie rock"

    This album was my childhood man... I remember I heard A-Punk on the radio when I was little and mentioning that I liked the song to my mom. That Christmas she got me this album on CD. Initially, I was disappointed as I didn’t care as much about music back then as I do now. However, as soon as put the CD in my shitty CD player, I was in love. I played that album every night without fail. The waves of nostalgia come as soon as I hear any songs from this album. Anyway, this is an awesome video!

    One of the most important albums I've ever listened to. It really expanded my horizons in terms of listening to music. It introduced me to a whole new genre/type (whatever you call it) of music and made me curious to explore other different music I'd never known before.

      Capitan Keter “lol what are you fucking 15?” Are you? You’re so predictable and pathetic you don’t even realize you just proved your age. You must be around 16 to 17 to call me 15 it’s no rocket science, you wouldn’t assume me to be older than that cause older is your own age hence you picked an age close to yours but younger. You’re so delusional and hypocrite, you don’t know me either so you shouldn’t assume shit either right? and making gay jokes just proves your age again. I’m about to assume something that might be true at least I don’t assume bs that makes you look more mature unlike you; you’re probably the type of guy who listens to two or three songs off an album once and you move on if you didn’t enjoy it and talk shit about it on the Internet. If you hate “these motherfuckers” so much what’s the point for your autistic ass to be out here commenting and trashing their music? Is that the only hobby you have in life? I wonder who’s pathetic now smh.

  • @WhatWeDigtoday
    @WhatWeDigtoday 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    This album was great, but strangely did not open the door to more afrobeat influenced bands. A group named Mr. Something Something (from Canada) made amazing music similarly influenced by African rhythms but never got attention. The black panther soundtrack brought it back a bit, hoping it comes back.
