A City Dressed In Dynamite

That Handsome Devil · 1 likes

4/5

I don't think this would be a frequent listen for me. But it kept my attention. I preferred the bits that leaned more on rockabilly then hip hop.

Nearer My God

Foxing

5/5

A solid indie rock record. Reminded me of TV on the Radio for some reason.

Romance

Fontaines D.C.

3/5

This band has been hit or miss for me. This is a fine record. Just not sure about all the hype around this band.

Thank Christ for the Bomb

The Groundhogs

4/5

60s/70s blues rock. Had some interesting moments. Between a 3 and a 4 for me.

People Watching

Sam Fender

2/5

Of the modern bands that sound a bit like Springsteen or Tom Petty, this is my least favorite so far. Boring, was happy when it was over.

I Need to Start a Garden

Haley Heynderickx

4/5

Good listen. I missed this album when it came out. I thought Worth It was a stand out.

Grace And Danger

John Martyn

2/5

Just didn't work for me. Too slow and wasn't a fan of his voice.

Pulse

Pink Floyd

2/5

Something for hardcore fans. I don't think these were the best versions of these songs.

RENAISSANCE

Beyoncé

2/5

Just wasn't for me. Thought some of the beats were interesting.

Blue Is The Colour

The Beautiful South

1/5

The first song was kind of cute and funny. The rest of the album was rough. The male singer was just bad. The songs were boring.

Deltron 3030

2/5

Hip Hop sci fi nerds... unexpected. If you liked one song, you probably liked all of them because there isn't a lot of variation.

Boxer

The National

5/5

This is a good album. I'd listened to it several times when it came out. May have enjoyed it even more on this listen.

Geogaddi

Boards of Canada

3/5

It was just on. Wasn't bad in the background.

Magnolia Electric Co.

Songs: Ohia

4/5

Outside of Black Hen, this was a really good listen. Solid folk/country album.

Slip

Quicksand

3/5

Seemed like a straight down the middle hard rock record. Wasn't impressed by the Smith's cover.

California

Mr. Bungle

2/5

I didn't get it.

Daisies Of The Galaxy

Eels

4/5

Really liked this. Sort of reminded me of Elliot Smith.

A Day At The Races

Queen

3/5

all you need is the greatest hits. Individual Queen albums are not worth your time.

John Dawson Winter III

Johnny Winter

2/5

70s blues rock. felt generic. "Love Song to Me" was a low point.

Nia

Blackalicious

4/5

Long, but it kept my attention. Not usually a fan of hip hop but I dug this album.

Emotional Mugger

Ty Segall

4/5

Fun noisy garage rock.

Exile On Coldharbour Lane

Alabama 3

2/5

I mean I like the sopranos song. The country/edm mixed was too country for me.

Fine Line

Harry Styles

4/5

Better then i was expecting. Very Pop. He has a good voice for it.

Phantom Power

The Tragically Hip

4/5

Solid rock album from our friends in the north.

La cagaste... Burt Lancaster

Hombres G

Couldn't get into it.

Al Stewart

2/5

Maybe a 2.5 . It was better then i expected but still wasn't my thing.

Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe In You

Big Thief

4/5

Pretty solid folk album. Hadn't listened to this band much outside of Not.

Middle of the road rock album. Nothing stood out to me.

1/5

A mix of two genres I don't enjoy.

St. Jude

1/5

Bland music with a bad singer.

Y Ahora Qué?

Reincidentes

3/5

Some interesting bits. not sure if I'd re-listen

Apostrophe(')

Frank Zappa

2/5

I don't think I get Zappa. I guess someone finds a concept album about yellow snow funny.

Goat

The Jesus Lizard

3/5

Noisy and Loud. On a different day this might have been a 4. Really disliked seasick though.

Uncovered

Zamilska

3/5

It wasn't bad to have on but I didn't really notice it.

The Fame

Lady Gaga

3/5

The singles hold up. I'd say they're just as catchy now as when this record came out. The album cuts definitely show their age and brought down the listening experience for me.

Fashion Nugget

CAKE

4/5

I have a soft spot for Cake. This record has the right mix of nostalgia and singles for me. I remember they used to play a bunch of these songs over the end credits for Daria.

Que c'est triste Venise

Charles Aznavour

1/5

crooner music but in french

Hall of the Mountain King

Savatage

2/5

I liked the hard rock/metal cover of Prelude to Madness. The rest of the album was for more hardcore fans of the genre.

WORRY

Jeff Rosenstock

5/5

An artist I've listened to before and will again. A refreshing hour of pop-punk.

Ants From Up There

Black Country, New Road

2/5

Didn't do much for me.

City Of Evil

Avenged Sevenfold

1/5

Sounded like they were cosplaying an 80s metal band.

Deadwing

Porcupine Tree

1/5

Boring and at times annoying.

Feed The Animals

Girl Talk

4/5

Pure sugar and I was happy to listen to it. Can't believe there hasn't been a new album since 2010.

Quadrophenia

The Who

3/5

Better then Tommy. Just wasn't my favorite Who.

Emotion

Carly Rae Jepsen

3/5

Glossy Pop. I enjoyed the singles.

A City Dressed In Dynamite

That Handsome Devil

4/5

I don't think this would be a frequent listen for me. But it kept my attention. I preferred the bits that leaned more on rockabilly then hip hop.

My Love Is Cool

Wolf Alice

4/5

Good listen. wasn't a fan of the other singer on Swallowtail

Chuck

Sum 41

1/5

I guess i was expecting the pop punk fun of Fat Lip and I got a more metal inspired record.... Didn't like it at all.

Give Up

The Postal Service

5/5

This album was huge for me when it came out. Listened to it on repeat for most of a summer. Still great. Enjoyed the excuse to re-listen to it.

Autobiografia

Duncan Dhu

3/5

It was fine. Mostly background noise.

Sublime

3/5

A lot of nostalgia for those singles. The rest of the album is a little long. Maybe a 3.5

The Feeding of the 5000

Crass

3/5

Wasn't bad, but it's not the 70s punk record I would reach for.

L'autre...

Mylène Farmer

3/5

It was fine. without understanding the lyrics it just became background.

Brand New Eyes

Paramore

4/5

Enjoyable pop punk

Korn

1/5

At no point did I find this enjoyable.

Recipe for Hate

Bad Religion

4/5

Maybe not ground breaking but definitely enjoyable.

Young, Loud And Snotty

Dead Boys

3/5

A fine punk album that never got great.

Contra

Vampire Weekend

4/5

I know it's preppy college kids doing world beat, but I really like their first 2 albums. Just a happy fun record for me.

10 Days Out: Blues from the Backroads

Kenny Wayne Shepherd

1/5

Seemed like I needed to know the artist and all of the guests to enjoy this record. I'm sure it's someone's fantasy Avengers Team up, but it didn't do much for me.

Mingus Ah Um

Charles Mingus

1/5

Another jazz record.

A Black Mile To The Surface

Manchester Orchestra

4/5

reminded me of Frightened Rabbit in a good way.

Grand Prix

Teenage Fanclub

4/5

Doing Big Star almost as good as Big Star.
