Fisherman's Blues

The Waterboys

5/5

So loving this album. 4 songs in and I think I've added 3 to playlists. Great sounds: piano, strings, driving base, catchy guitar. Vocals are solid aswell. Driving, ensemble rock with lots of instruments/variety of sounds with folk roots - but more rock than anything else. Piano theme, and horns in 'World Party' are incredible. Strings create a great feel to the song. Every song has so much great feel. this is likely going to be my first 5 star. some nice authentic feeling songs on the second disk. The final song, 12 min long, Soon As I Get Home builds to the most pumping crescendo in the second half of the song. definition of a full on jam session. yes a 5 star album.

The Flaming Lips

4/5

Never really listened intently to the flaming lips before. Broken Bells/Danger Mouse vibes. Pt. 1 of the Album's namesake is awesome - love a narrative in a song. the glitch rumble in the chorus gets a little overdone by the end of the song. Chorus is very catchy. Pt 2 is great too - instrumental, imagine this is the actual battle. Awesome bass sounds. I'm starting to realize the whole album flows together like a story. Cool stuff.

Electric Warrior

T. Rex

2/5

I mean I didn't love it. There were some songs I recognized that I had no clue were by this artist - but overall, I felt like I skipped more songs on this album than listened to completely.

Aqualung

Jethro Tull

3/5

Only liked parts of the albums namesake track. Nothing before 2min mark though. Cross-eyed Mary is a solid track - flute is badass. Full on Anchorman jazz flute solo. Keys sound ok, but very basic for having so much presence in the mix. UK Folky, foot tapping fun - Mother Goose Locomotive Breath- keys come alive. And the crazy flute is back! Love it. Really grew on me, but no where near other similar bands of the same period (like zeppelin)

Third

Portishead

2/5

Silence- creepy vocals actually gave me goosebumps. head pumpin drum loops. Defiantly weird. Might be just a little too downtempo and a 90's grunge sad with 2000's electronic dissonance.

Mermaid Avenue

Billy Bragg

4/5

I liked it. Fun rock with lots of folk undertones. Story telling lyrics. There was just something about it that I didn't need to add almost any songs to playlists. Not that its bad, just less my cup of tea.
