Big Star
3/5
It's like... They're almost good. The elements are there. There's egg, sugar, and flour, but it's not a cake. Close, but no cake.

Britney Spears
2/5
Ugh. I'm almost the exact same age as Britney. I remember being icked by her treatment by the media, and how she was presented as a teen. I can't get over that when listening. I guess this is a great example of 90s pop, but most of the songs remind me of the end credits of bad romance movies. I actually said "wtf" at Soda Pop, and cracked up at "Email My Heart" Why is this my longest review?

The Young Gods
3/5
There's a man, screaming at you in French. You offer him a lozenge. He accepts, then hops on his carousel and rides off, cackling with the calliope. You shrug, and decide to try a trip through the fun house you suddenly notice. The man is there. The lozenge didn't help. Shit's about to get weird. And that's just the first song.

Leonard Cohen
2/5
Oh Leonard. You were better than this. This album is SO disjointed. Waltzes, and synth and crazy high background singers... I'm gonna start making people listen to Jazz Police when the say they like Leonard Cohen but can only name one song. (And you know what song I mean)
