KISS
KISS is a weird and polarizing band. There aren’t many bands that I have heard people talk about in such extremes. So many people love them, but a great amount hate them too. I, myself, never really listened to them much. I had heard their super popular singles like “Detroit Rock City” and “Rock and Roll All Night”, but that was about it. This was my first full length album of theirs and it was a weird experience to say the least. It started off strong with “Detroit Rock City” and “King of the Night Time World”. Then, it took a huge dive with God of Thunder, and despite songs like “Sweet Pain” not being horrible, it still didn’t quite recover until “Shout it Out Loud”. After that, “Beth” was fantastic, but “Do You Love Me” didn’t do it for me. I don’t even really know the point of “Rock and Roll Party”. It was weird and didn’t add anything at all except waste a minute of my time. So a couple fantastic songs, one or two okay songs, and a good chunk of material that was either bad or pointless. Like I said, weird album from a weird band. All in all, 3/5.

I don’t know if it’s just the two albums of his that I have gotten on here, or just his music in general, but from what I have heard Bowie is super overrated! I mean he has a few good songs here and there, but I find it difficult to get through a full album of his. His music isn’t the worst thing in the world, nothing I have heard from him is a 1/5, but I just don’t get the hype at all. His last album I was given on here was very average, a 3/5. This one was worse: 2/5.

I expected a lot of this album going into it, after all it is considered fairly legendary. I wasn’t disappointed necessarily, but it definitely didn’t live up to the hype. Overall, it was pretty average, save a couple songs like superstition. Because of that, regardless of it’s inability to live up to the hype, it was still a pretty good album. 3.5/5 so I’ll give it a 4.

Not going to add it to my library as I don’t imagine I will ever listen to it again, but it was definitely a great album. 4/5.

Going into this album, the only thing I had heard from them was “Time of the Season”. I had initially heard it as a sample on the Eminem track “Rhyme or Reason” which I had really enjoyed because of The Zombies song on it, not so much because of Eminem. I first found out that it was a sample today actually (6/13/21) when I saw the Cruella movie in theaters, which it is in, and I have been listening to it all day since! So, “Time of the Season” was my favorite track on this album, however the race was very close. This whole album was fantastic and so much fun to listen to! I love the vibe of these guys and will definitely be listening to more of them now! 4/5.

Ramones
For years I have seen Ramones shirts, heard amazing remarks about the Ramones, and the hype I had heard about them was so great I thought they were God’s gift to music. When I listened to them for the first time, and after this album listen now, I truly believe there may not be a more overrated band than the Ramones. Don’t get me wrong, they have a couple “bops” (pun intended), but overall I think their discography is criminally average at best. Now, I’m not the biggest punk fan in the world, but there is quite a good bit of punk that I enjoy, despite what my previous punk reviews on this site have you believe (I haven’t really enjoyed the punk on this list thus far that I have received). With that said, I think the album is a 1/5, however I will give it a 2/5 for historical importance to the punk genre.

I already have this album added to my library, and what a fantastic album it is! The entire record is filled with pop hits that were very popular when it came out, and rightfully so. The songs are catchy, Taylor’s vocals are amazing, and the overall production is great! This album is so much fun and with so many hits, and basically no duds, it’s very hard to pick a favorite! I know Taylor Swift can be somewhat polarizing, but I don’t understand how anyone can listen to this album open-mindedly and genuinely believe that it’s bad. In fact, I would venture as far as to say this is an almost perfect pop album! 5/5
