That's The Way Of The World
Earth, Wind & Fire
Favourite songs- Shining Star, Yearnin' Learnin', Africano
I don't really like funk, but some of the vocals here were excellent, and I did like quite a few tracks. I was also not a fan of the really slow ballads at all, as a big part of this album was the fun, that made it likeable, and they took themselves too seriously with the piano ballads. Also, a lot of tracks did not need to be that long.
The flute at the beginning of Africano was weird and annoying, but afterwards, the instrumental was pretty cool.

The Wall
Pink Floyd
Favourite songs- Comfortably Numb, Young Lust, The Happiest Days of Our Lives.
One of my least favourite Pink Floyd records. It's amazing conceptually, but the songwriting isn't good enough to warrant its length. There's about 1 LP's worth of great material in here, but it's just way too bloated, and not good enough. Plus, the absence of David Gilmour is a bit startling- a lot of people hail The Final Cut as the first Roger Waters solo record, but I think it starts here. Lots of great tunes, but not that good, the awesome lyrics aren't enough to make up for the 'meh' songwriting, and a pretty overrated album.

Penthouse And Pavement
Heaven 17
Favourite songs- Penthouse and Pavement, Play to Win, Song with no Name
I'm not a big fan of synthpop but I feel there's a lot of better synthpop out there than this. Some songs feel almost annoying and immature on this album. Synthpop is also something that needs to be really well produced for me to enjoy it, and I think the production here was not amazing. Also, you look at a synthpop band like Kraftwerk, which were so ahead of the curve that you have to respect their inventiveness, but this is a record from a time where tonnes of bands were making stuff like this, so it doesn't even seem terribly original to me. Not a bad album, certainly not my style, but I would argue that this is not an essential album.
On the first track, [We Don't Need This] Fascist Groove Thang, the verse has some cool melodic ideas, but then it descends into this really repetitive chorus, that infiltrates your ear in an unpleasant way. Also the percussion is some of the most annoying stuff I've ever listened to.
Next comes the title track. It starts off with a cool riff played on a synth, but it almost sounds like a horn. The percussion here sounds a bit better. There's obviously another vocalist on this track too. The melodies are cool here too, catchy, but in a fun way. I'm not a huge funk fan either, but this was an enjoyable track, though it did not need to be almost seven minutes long, as there are a lot of parts where I feel a bit of a lull. Still a great song though.
Play to Win is okay, not an amazing song, but it's got some nice moments. It was one of the shorter tracks on the record, which I appreciated, as a lot of songs were really stretched out. This was the perfect length. Again, some really repetitive motifs that got kind of annoying, but this was okay.
Next on the record is Soul Warfare. I'm not really a fan of this song at all. The piano sounds really pitchy and kind of like a toddler's just playing at random points. Then the hook (which is a pretty appalling hook. Seriously, write a better chorus) sounds really pitchy again, and it bothers me a lot. Another overlong song.
Geisha Boys and Temple Girls is fine, until you get to the chorus. It's so nursery rhyme-ish that it puts me off the whole song, which is a shame because I was enjoying the verse. The laser sound effects do really annoy me as well.
Let's All Make a Bomb might be the most annoying song on the record. From the farting synths to the weird melody, this song just sucks.
The Height of the Fighting just repeats, over and over and over and over... then the verse is really strange. I'm sure it was a big political statement at the time and stuff, but the song just isn't enjoyable to me.
Song With No Name is kind of dark in an interesting way. I can see why someone would enjoy this, and it's not bad at all. Got some weird moments, but definitely a highlight of the record.
The last song, We're Going To Live For A Very Long Time, is another very childish song. Super repetitive and annoying. Not a fan at all.
So yeah, I wasn't a huge fan of this record, but I do see how some people would really like it if they were into this style of music. It's just not to my taste.

Destroyer
KISS
Favourite songs- Detroit Rock City (Though it did not need two minutes to actually start), Flaming Youth, Shout it Out Loud
It's a little bit overly noisy at points, a thing that's not rare with Kiss, but overall this was a pretty fun album. That's really what Kiss is about- they're not really an amazing band musically, but they just do fun, straight-ahead rock music. But still, I think there was a lot of filler, especially for an album that is quite short. I mean, apart from the three songs I listed, I could really do without the rest of the record. And, Rock N Roll party is the most pathetic thing I've ever heard in my life. Why would they put that on the record?
