Some solid Canadian Dad rock. Poets, Fireworks, Escape Is At Hand, all incredible tracks. I love the sort of plainspoken lyricism and delivery. Emperor Penguin is a solid closer.

The mix is a little lean for my taste in this genre. Looking For Somebody (To Love) is a good single, almost like The Bleachers meets Michael Bolton. But I wish that bass and kick had a little more body on the low end in the natural mix. Oh Caroline and I'm In Love With You are limp and overproduced. This album came out hot as a pistol and then totally vanished into the ether.

I totally forgot she had a career. Run Away With Me is a solid song. Why was I Really Like You a hit? Her stance as a narrator keeps shifting track to track. Like are you vulnerable, heartbroken, in love, over it? It makes it hard to connect with emotionally when there are so many different perspectives that don't have any kind of discernable regularity. its a necessary maturation album.

Kayleigh has some chops. Not really my thing.

This album makes me want to throw stones at it.

Groan. Okay so Dave's music has a lot of baggage for me, so he is perpetually an artist that I just cannot for the life of me give a fair listen to. There is a lot of good texture sonically, I just cant take Dave's vocal delivery, texture, or really anything about it seriously. This is the guy that literally took a shit on Chicago. When he gets the orchestra involved on Halloween its overstuffed. The Stone is good. Its just this kitchen sink over the top instrumentation. See Crush. And also Dave its okay to make a song that's 5 minutes or less come on. Also multitracking your scatting is bullshit.

another hour of Korn? aRe yOU rEaDY?!?! The drum and bass tones dovetail really nicely together. Crazy to think this was '94. Shoots And Ladders is pretty cool.

I am into this! I vaguely remember listening to this after finding another Tally Hall album, maybe Good & Evil, definitely because of Turn the Lights Off ? A very cool and weird little album.

Yea this is killer. It's Alright, I Feel It is a great track. This was an absolute delight.

This is pretty rad. at the very least its better than fully half of the Brit pop on the regular list.

Ok Steve, we are off to a strong start here. This is The Stroke guy?! Yea this is fun and there is nothing wrong with that.

Boney Iver, you've locked away in your tiny hoooooommmmeeee. Honestly, this sounds like a knockoff Kanye album. Tbh, I have never really been into Bon Iver. Something about his music always feels just so....overworked? overwrought?

Love that intro on Baby Girl. Ungodly Hour is another bop. This album absolutely kills it.

Some solid Canadian Dad rock. Poets, Fireworks, Escape Is At Hand, all incredible tracks. I love the sort of plainspoken lyricism and delivery. Emperor Penguin is a solid closer.

This is good, cool, and relaxing as all get out. The Time On My Hands rendition is a good one.

overstuffed doesn't even begin to describe it.

yea fuck this.

This is really cool. An album filled with refreshing country ballads with real feeling and soul.

There are some solid mid teens synth indie bangers on here.

hell yea, lets go. Security is a great track. Hertz rips.

oh letttsssss gooooooooo. ieuD is way out there. Who ever made this has lost their mind in the greatest way possible. Trip hop samples, opera, killer break downs and an incredible ear for musical pacing. Wow.

I'm into jazz fusion. great drum work by Larnell on this album.

OHHHHH BOOYYYYY. Man! I Feel Like A Woman! earns its credit as an anthem. The guitar tone and work on I'm Holding Onto Love (To Save My Life) is rock solid. This is the soundtrack to every barn party of my youth from its release until like 2004. This album is pop country goodness if that's your thing.

YESSSSS! I love this fucking album. excellent dynamics and mix, great clean guitar tones, honey smooth vocals, crazy synth blats and textures.

This is really cool.

ok buddy, lets take it easy with the cheese tones on that synth. What is Runnin' Outta Luck. Is this homage or is it derivative? "Love is a dragon dressed in suede and leathery?" What in the hell?

Its cool but I didn't find it was super compelling.

a solid white boy reggae album. Is it deep? no. Is it ground breaking? no. Is it enjoyable? oh yea.

ehhhh. psych rock for a B horror movie.

Wow this is mega pop. This is really a forward looking album sound, but good god is it sonically grating at times. Though I guess you know its really pushing into something new if it occasionally pisses old guys like me off. Immaterial is club banger. You can definitely hear this album's fingerprints on Chali XCX's BRAT.

a true and thorough jazz blues time.

Lots of like proto heavy emerging sounds. reminds me of the Velvet Underground. Its just not my thing.

I love that kick tone on I Want Your Love. This is hard to put into one camp of electronic music, which is why it feels very scattered sonically.

Woah there cowboy, what is with these drum samples? Wouldn't It Be Good is a hit pitched right down the middle. Drum Talk is WILD. Cloak And Dagger is a fucking bop. This was such a strong 4 star for me that some of the songs deserve a special call out.

yea this is feckin punk rawk. I enjoyed it but cant see myself coming back to it.

As one of my former coworkers used to say "Tomm'd up kid singing about being tomm'd up about some dumb shit." This sucked.

Ornette Coleman coming on the scene and tearing jazz a new asshole is one of my favorite things.

What even the fuck? A charming and occasionally jarring series of vignettes and story telling. Worth a revisit.

I mean sure, I know nothing about Latin rock. but this is really hard to believe the billing as "The White Album for Latin Rock".

This is like listening to your hippie friend at a folk fest campfire. If you are high by they time they take out their synthesizer, its a good time. If you would rather sleep in your tent and try to forget how gross you are, its pretty damn tedious.

A touching tribute, but in a form and package that I don't have much a connection to or a passion for.

Night-Blooming Cereus was a good song. The rest? fine.
