Bossanova
Pixies
Raw and melodic start, exactly what I search for in a band. The screaming of the second song is a little tough to get through. Not really my style. The third truly settles my initial thoughts whereas it wouldn't be my style with highly melodic singing and an incredible style. I like the guitar in the fifth song, "Is she weird". Along with the lyrics it's a great song. "Ana" is a nice change of pace.
All in all a great album, Is she weird, down to the well, and Cecilia Ann were insta adds to my playlist.

Amazing mix of soul/gospel/funk and some rock with a very experimental feel overall. This album made me consider the time and political/social landscape it was made for. Not just because of its strong themes regarding racism and coming together, but also of positivity and keeping your head up. I think it's an absolute banger and knows how to speak to your own morale, ethics and feelings. It is also an inspiration to see this band reach such heights with a such a diverse group of people, just showing how much can be done by coming together.

Beyond a doubt did my parents lack in their musical upbringing of me by not letting me explore the greatness of Led Zeppelin to the fullest.

The range that Zeppelin proves they have here is amazing and absolutely stunning. I am, obviously, biased in the greatest sense of the word.

As a complete switch from yesterday I get an album that speaks to personal experience and talks vigorously and expressively. An amazing punk-inspired pop/rock combo deal to absolutely blast you away. I absolutely love Green day and have listened to them for quite a while. This album is a welcome and great change in their polishing of musical style from the two albums done with an independent label. Of course that makes sense since they were limiting their time in the recording studio to the bare minimum. However, I think they did a great job of maintaining the punk sound and vibe. Most punks of the time would call them sell-outs but I hope they got over it, because they don't know what they're missing

Easiest review of my life. This album has been the solidification of my love for the Red Hot Chili Peppers. I fell in love with their loose musical style during their Stadium Arcadium age. I have since then come to enjoy every album in their own right and love this one for its passion and energy. It knows how to reel you in, smack you in the face, take you for a spin and hype you up. Two of my personal favorites are Suck My Kiss and If You Have to Ask. I Could Have Lied has a special place in my heart because of the drastic switch in tone it has on the album.
