My highlights - January 2026!
I now understand why this is a seminal piece of rock history! Amazing album - will be returning to it regularly for sure. Infectiously fun and catchy!

All the albums I've listened to in 2026:
(01/26/2026) It's really good, unsurprisingly! Knew a lot of the big hits from this record, but the whole thing is great as a package. Some really great ear-grabbing bass lines, I love how far up in the mix they are! And Julian Casablancas' voice is just perfect for the sound of this album. Great record!

about me
yes, i am basic, thank you for asking. this is obviously a pretty perfect album but it was also one of the first contemporary indie albums i fell in love with, and one of the few favourite albums i share with my best friend. in high school we knew all the words to "hard to explain" and would start spontaneously singing it at a moment's notice. the nostalgia value is high.

Top 100+1
Leaving just in time
Stay there for a while
Rolling in the ocean, tryin' to catch her eye
Work hard and say it's easy
Do it just to please me
Tomorrow will be different
So I'll pretend I'm leaving

There's a reason I have a painting of this album cover hanging in my living room that I commissioned.

grogg album nucleus
2001 RCA UK pressing, with NYC Cops
- I listened to this album constantly between my freshman and sophomore years in college, back when all good things were still possible and the future was bright. Ranks right up there with The Bends, Californication, and By The Way for rock albums that capture a specific place in time for me.

Hello
Before going to Best Buy to pick this up I was really afraid that my mom would be mad about the album art, but I was apparently looking at the European release on the internet. This one was fine.
