Can't Buy A Thrill by Steely Dan
Jan 27 2021

This is just class - well written songs, beautiful simple production, little bit Americana, rock, even proggy here and there but not so much of any of the above that it became annoying. 4 well-earned stars.

Jan 28 2021

Overall I enjoyed it - some good tunes and I like the looseness of it all. Not bad.

The Score by Fugees
Jan 29 2021

Really good. Hypnotic. Groundbreaking (it sounds well ahead of its time). Do you remember when Tom Facebook stalked Ishbel’s music taste and then spent a whole date gushing to her about how much he loves Lauren Hill and it freaked her out? Food for thought.

Here, My Dear by Marvin Gaye
Jan 30 2021

Production: 7/20 Songwriting: 5/20 Innovation: 9/20 Presence of pure bangers: 5/20 Emotional response: 2/20 = 29 Yeah not a fan of this one sorry Marvin.

Metallica by Metallica
Feb 02 2021

Production: 6/20 Songwriting: 3/20 Innovation: 5/20 Bangers: 5/20 Emotional response: 4/20 =23 only reason they didn’t get one star is that I can’t deny that Enter Sandman is a banger. The rest of it was a load of old bollocks.

At Newport 1960 by Muddy Waters
Feb 03 2021

Production: 12/20 Songwriting: 13/20 Innovation: 10/20 Bangers: 10/20 Emotional response: 14/20 =59 Oooh I really liked it and at 59 it’s only one mark off a 4 but I can’t fuck with the system!!!

I had to give it relatively high for innovation because I’ve literally never heard anything like this before, and I gave it half marks for production because I could only find are YouTube playlist of it, some of them are quite badly compressed so it was hard for me to tell what was going on production wise
