Bongo Rock

Found myself liking the beginning of songs before the bongos started. All in all, this is a lot of bongos. Probably too much bongo.
Favorite Track: Last Bongo In Belgium.

1984
Van Halen
It's a shredfest with synths. I don't listen to a lot of 80s rock but I can listen to this one anytime. After the spacey one minute intro the album doesn't let up until it's over. Lots of hits and even the non-hits are good. Favorite: Panama

New Forms
Roni Size
This is a weird one to review. I didn't hate it but I also didn't notice when the album was over and Spotify autoplayed an unknown number of other drum and bass songs. Good background music. It's possible Roni Size influenced those additional tracks but my untrained ear doesn't know it. Favorite: Brown Paper Bag
