User Albums Summary

Just listened to it a couple days before it came up. Nice to see all the Canadian content on the extras list. Solid folk, liked it. I'm working on a top 100 Canadian Album list and this came up on it.

It was good to listen to. I've got a rule: Live albums and greatest hits albums don't count usually. If this is about greatest albums, we should be talking about a crafted collection of songs released at the same time. Still, I did enjoy listening to this.

Prefer their self-titled album that's on the list, or Demon Days. This to me is a weaker and less catchy Gorillaz album

** This is a live album / compilation (I give these all 1 star) ** I don't consider these to be albums in the sense of the albums from the book. The album's from the list are art statements greater than the songs themselves made in the moment. A retrospective of unconnected songs from the last 3 decades doesn't qualify. That said, I of course enjoyed the music.

Further, while metal is not really my jam, so maybe I just don't get it. I didn't really think there was anything new or clever here. The music is done well, but every time the singer talked to the crowd I cringed.

Yello was one of those bands that I was surprised had no albums in the book. I guess they're not for everyone. Some people may think it's too facile, or that "Oh Yeah" was just a novelty song, but I love their music. It's simplicity and classic images and symbolism work for me, and the songs are fun. Of this album proper, I find the songs are all hits to me except for Desert Inn and Let Me Cry.
