Absolutely fucking brutal listening to this the week after Christmas

B-52's

The B-52's · 8 likes

1/5

I really hated this. While the beats were pretty interesting and upbeat, the vocals were too much. I knew I didn't like Rock Lobster, but the rest wasn't any better. One of the closest I've been to shutting off mid album so far.

Brutal Youth

Elvis Costello · 1 likes

2/5

I'm over him. All his songs sound the same. Was misled on the last album of his where I knew some hits.

Doolittle

Pixies

4/5

Big fan of this one. Only song of theirs missing from this album that I really like is Where Is My Mind. Sad we missed them at RF

Sign 'O' The Times

Prince

3/5

Don't really see the fascination with Prince. Thought disc 2 was way better, but idk. Some of the beats are cool and have clearly been sampled since. Second listen through was a little more enjoyable.

Eagles

3/5

After listening to this I think I should have given Prince a 2. Easy listening with a couple bangers. Funny that they released a greatest hits album before Hotel California ever came out.
