* BrokenBase: X's first four albums (from ''Los Angeles'' to ''More Fun in the New World'') featured Billy Zoom on guitar and were produced by Ray Manzarek of Music/TheDoors. Afterwards, Zoom left and the band stopped working with Manzarek. Some fans believe these changes led to a DorkAge for the group, and that the two subsequent albums they recorded before the hiatus (''Ain't Love Grand'' and ''See How We Are'') aren't quite as good as what came before. However, others greatly like the intensely hard-rocking feel and able songwriting of ''See How We Are'' as much as anything else the group released, and find songs such as "4th of July," "I'm Lost," "Left and Right," "Surprise, Surprise," "Anyone Can Fill Your Shoes," and the TitleTrack especially enjoyable.

Well, if some like it and some it, that's called Broken Base, folks. Learn to Repair, Don't Respond, people.

** X's first four albums (from ''Music/LosAngeles'' to ''Music/MoreFunInTheNewWorld'') featured Billy Zoom on guitar and were produced by Ray Manzarek of Music/TheDoors. Afterwards, Zoom left and the band stopped working with Manzarek; fan consensus is that these changes led to a DorkAge for the group, and that the two subsequent albums they recorded before the hiatus (''Music/AintLoveGrand'' and ''Music/SeeHowWeAre'') aren't quite as good as what came before.
** However, this opinion is not universally held by all fans of this group. (This is a YMMV trope, after all.)

Added DiffLines:

* EpicRiff: "Johnny Hit and Run Paulene," "We're Desperate," "Los Angeles," "Nausea," "Beyond and Back," and "The Hungry Wolf".
* FaceOfTheBand: Music/ExeneCervenka and Music/JohnDoe.
* SignatureSong: "Los Angeles" or "We're Desperate."
* TearJerker: Any song addressing the death of Exene's sister Mary (see GriefSong in the main entry) qualifies. "Around My Heart" from the otherwise-maligned ''Ain't Love Grand'' is also quite sad, as it seems to address the collapse of John and Exene's marriage.
