Penis Envy, Penis Envy

These aren't going to be full reviews, but I listen to several rekkids a day so this might be fun. Some of these are first listens, some are second listens, and some I've heard a lot before.

1. Crass - Penis Envy (1981)



Really a great, solid album. The Feeding of the 5000 and Stations of the Crass remain my favorites, but I might actually consider giving this one 10/10 on some days.

9.5/10


2. Butthole Surfers - Psychic...Powerless...Another Man's Sac (1984)



I was skeptical, but this is a great landmark noise rock release. Lots to like here, like 'Dum Dum', 'Concubine', 'Lady Sniff', and the obvious Roxy/Eno impression, 'Negro Observer'.

9/10


3. Radiohead - OK Computer (1997)



I don't see how it can just be me: isn't this album just pop music? I've never been impressed by Radiohead, but I have them another chance today. Truly tame, boring 'alt-rock' which made me feel almost as guilty as if I were listening to Coldplay. Honestly, there are albums from the sixties that'll challenge your ears more than this record will.

5.5-6/10
