Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere
Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Neil Young is an artist where I know all of his hits but never really listened to any of his albums all the way through so I am happy about this selection. I always meant to listen to more Neil Young.
1 - "Cinnamon Girl" - One of his hits so I of course enjoyed it
2-3 - "Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere" & "Round & Round (It Won't Be Long)" - These two were a little to slow and sad for me today. I am working while listening so maybe the lyrics weren't sad but the music made me feel sad so there is that.
4 - "Down by the River" - another one of his hits so I enjoyed it.
5 "The Losing End (When You're On)" – okay, this is seriously depressing to me. I didn't finish it...NEXT!
6 "Running Dry (Requiem for the Rockets)" – OH FOR FUCKS SAKE!!! SERIOUSLY?? I DO NOT NEED THIS SHIT RIGHT NOW. I DO NOT LIKE THIS SONG AT ALL - opening verse:
Oh, please help me, oh, please help me
I'm livin' by myself
I need someone to comfort me
ANOTHER SKIP!!!
7 "Cowgirl in the Sand" – Ok, I like me some cowgirls, lets see how this goes........Pretty nice guitar intro..... I like me some guitar! Maybe this is an instrumental... nope. Lyrics are so so but I dig the guitar solos. I give this song three snausages

Faith
George Michael
I was so glad when I saw that this was the remastered version. I just relished in the way the synthesizers were so damn crisp and bold! I could feel their electric vibe in my toes.
Not everybody feels it but everybody should.
With a title like "Faith" I really expected some wholesome religious based tunes but was shocked when I realized a lot of the songs have to do with ese ee ex.
I expected more from a man with a cross hanging from his ear lob.
Going with two stars just cause I wanna save one star In case a new kids on the block album pops up

Be
Common
The intro made me thing I was listening to an old 64 bit game soundtrack for a second.
IT's catchy but hard for me to concentrate on the words while working.
It's not bad but just not my thing. I am very picky about what kind of HipHop i like.
Testify is kind of catchy with that hook

I have really been missing my OPLAE playlists from this random guy on Reddit that I got every few weeks so this thing Mark found has been one of my favorite things. THANK YOU MARK!

Viva Hate
Morrissey
as i skipped through the tracks of Viva Hate I could not help but harken back to my days as a youth in Schlotzenberg. MY family and our adopted immigrant penguins would frolic in the summer sun as we played games of hide the cow tongue and shlemmel your sister suitor. One time Vincent could not completely hide the cow tongue and we mocked him to the point he swallowed the tongue. Such fond memories of those times. MOrrissey brought me back to those simpler times when my only worry was did I have enough sawdust to satisfy the local chieftain. Those really were simpler times back then.
I give this album five schnazelbangers

Peggy Suicide
Julian Cope
I now understand what was going on with Peggy and why she may have contemplated suicide and it has nothing to do with all of the soap in my underwear. That was just an experiment to see how much soap my underwear would hold. I did not factor that some may use bar soap and others use pump. I prefer pump when we are dealing with things in my underwear.
I give Julian Cope a tip of the hat and four tiny pebbles that can be confused for rocks.

In Utero
Nirvana
In utero is a Latin term literally meaning "in the womb". In biology, the phrase describes the state of an embryo or fetus. In legal contexts, the phrase is used to refer to unborn children. Under common law, unborn children are still considered to exist for property transfer purposes.
I give this album three properties! (just land, no structures)

IMO this was when Metallica took the turn to become more mainstream (if that is the right term) ~ This is NOT the "Kill 'em All", "Ride the LIghtning" or "Master of Puppets" Metallica of my youth. A lot of my friends and fans called them sell outs when this album came out. Say what you want, this album, on the back of "And Justice For All" made Metallica the biggest heavy metal band in the world. and I fucking LOVED this album back in the day..... I wore that casette tape out! LOL
