Wild Planet

The B-52's

5/5

I got this album the day I got their debut album so to me they are one big long album. No, really...I could never decide which I liked more. There is no ROCK LOBSTER like hit on this album, but I think it might be better than the debut... maybe? Still I love it and think it is amazing.

Don't Say No

Billy Squier

5/5

This album takes me back to 1981 again. Every songs is so great. This has always been an absolute favorite of mine and I don't think I've heard it in years. Standouts: The Stroke, Lonely Is the Night, In the Dark, My Kinda Lover, Nobody Knows, Whadda You Want from Me, You Know What I Like, Too Daze Gone, I Need You, Don't Say No. (Yep, that's every song...) 5/5

5/5

The Blower’s Daughter has always been a favorite of mine. Something special here. The album is really nice….can make you feel a bit quiet, maybe depressed. But, i really liked listening to it.

I kicked this Damn Door down! Standouts: Damn Door, Cry Easy to listen to. Great style. He does sound like Tom Waits and some others but still I enjoyed it overall.

4/5

Great listen. Found myself enjoying just about every song.

Gotcha! Gotcha! Gotcha!

Gotcha!

4/5

Funky Rock from Nederland! Really makes me miss the times I lived in the Netherlands. Ajax! I left the Netherlands in 1992 so I just missed this one.... This album is really good. It stats out really strong. Each song has it's own unique style and from start to finish you never know what to expect next. They sound a lot like the Red Hot Chili Peppers and a few other bands so they lose points for originality. 4/5

After Hours

The Weeknd

4/5

Definitely a good album. It's not something I would listen to often, and I think his style gets old half-way through the album. This one (for me) is better when the tracks show up randomly on a massive playlist. Blinding Lights is great. 3.5

Don't Throw Stones

THE SPORTS

3/5

Who Listens to the Radio was a minor hit in the USA. I think this would have been a fun album to listen to back in 1979... 3.5

Kick

INXS

5/5

Brilliant album - start to finish - this is incredible. 5/5

Oil of Every Pearl's Un-Insides

SOPHIE

4/5

What a contrast in music: Just the first two songs. It's Okay to Cry and Ponyboy couldn't be more different styles. I never heard of her before and thought OK, this is going to be a pretty mellow album when I was listening to the first track. THEN, Ponyboy started and damn! That's when I fell in love with the album. RIP, Sophie. Thank you for the music. Standouts: Ponyboy, Faceshopping, It's Okay to Cry, Immaterial, Whole New World/Pretend World 4.25

4/5

I listen to more of this style music thanks to the 1001 albums project. The project has really expanded my musical tastes. The first couple times I listened to the album, I really didn't pay much attention to it but, it is really growing on me. It album will only get better the more I listen to it. I like it and I am grateful to the submitter for sharing it. Standout: Await Rescue. Not ready to call it great, but it is a solid 4/5
