4/5

The Pixies are a great band if listened to in the right mood/mindset. This album isn't my favorite of theirs but it is the truest to who they are. If you like the Pixies as a band then this is a great album but if you like the Pixies cause you heard them on the radio then you are going to be disappointed by this album.

Automatic For The People

Like A Prayer

Not a fan of her music and this album did nothing to change my mind. Felt like i needed a shower after it was over to wash off the cringe that it induced.

Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea

Solid album overall, felt like standard 80's punk

Don't Come Home A Drinkin' (With Lovin' On Your Mind)

Loretta Lynn

4/5

Classic country, good feel to it. Made me long for some of the old merle haggard type songs.

Cloud Nine

The Temptations

3/5

Very good feel. Not my favorite of this era but a good album nonetheless

Antichrist Superstar

Marilyn Manson

3/5

Its Marylin Manson. 'nuff said. I think a lot of the initial shock of who he is has worn off, kind of like how Metallica used to be the end all be all most evil band. There is always someone new to push the envelope and Manson was it. Take away the theatric that come with his act though and its a pretty run of the mill rock album.

Viva Hate
