This is world-changing and genre-defining
This story begins with one brighton boy reading Watership down,

This novel-based epic is a beautiful mix of crust and strings within a sort of ur-folk, which is hard to characterise to someone who hasn't heard it.


They make the subject matter leap at you with the slamming rifffs and souring melodies, anti-meat propaghanda never felt so good.

Rolling Stone's 493rd greatest album of all time
Very … I don't know … lo-fi? Alt-country? Folk-emo? Plaid-pop?
This album is one where the listener needs a good few listens to really appreciate I think. The songs are all quite listenable but quite understated and to my mind missing a little something (a kick, some personality). I might give this album another try in future, my dad is a fan.

"If I had to choose just one Wilco album to own this would be it if I could only be it. As consistently good as they are, there is something undeniably unique about this record. The song writing it beautiful but the production is what takes it over the top. Handled differently the record would be simply a fantastic indie folk record, but the strangely textured recording raises it up to become something entirely other."

With his voice coming straight at ya right from the start, the hooks keep coming from Alex Bayly with his single Wade in the Water. Dreamy guitar licks and a tight bass line keep this track driving like a folk arrow through snow. It’s a track that belongs in your roots collection. If you squint at the chorus you can almost see Jeff Buckley; and that is not a coincidence judging by the title.

Rolling Stone's 434th greatest album of all time (474th in the 2020 list)
My second time listening to Big Star (an act I had never heard of a few days ago) was better than the first. The songs here are much better than the "Third" album, most notably "Thirteen", which I had heard before somewhere. The singer's voice reminds me of a Scottish band, El Presidente, being part whine, part singing. Good 70s folk-rock.
