The Scrabbled: Making Fun of Each Other since '99

Wherein we pick a classic album, listen to it all the way through, and review it track by track in the comments. We haven’t done one of these in a while. Rather than put it to a vote, Ima just pick a classic album and hope you guys hop on board.

So this week, I’m picking The Talking Heads – Remain in Light. I set up a new folder on the FTP for the record club, for those of you who don’t already have the album.

First person to post their review gets to pick the next album.

With the marketing blitz for Iron Man 2 I am sure everyone’s been hearing a lot Black Sabbath lately but “Paranoid” is another one of those albums I’ve never completely heard before, sure I know “Iron Man” and “Paranoid” but so does anyone with a radio. “War Pigs” was introduce to me via Faith No More. The album, while apparently panned by critics upon it’s initial release, is now regarded as one of the top albums of all time. RollingStone had it at 130 on their top 500 greatest album list and Guitar World rated it the 6th best guitar album of all time in their top 100 list. So, like we did with The Who let’s spend some time with the album that launched Ozzy into super-stardom.

Rate the album 1-5 and if you want to be thorough rate each song on the same scale.

Since nobody else was pulling the trigger…..
