Hotel California
Eagles
Albums a classic in the zietgiest, not sure if it's a classic to me. Starts strong with hotel California which speaks for itself. Then I forgot how awesome life in the fast lane is, saved for later. Then we get out of the fast lane for much of the rest of the album. Slow ballads pretty much from here on out. They may be good or even great ballads but they are not my style. It's been a long night and I don't "fucking hate the eagles man", but I don't see myself coming back to this hotel anytime soon.

Rio
Duran Duran
This record rules. It has a fun groove from end to end. The electronics and synths feel like a revolution for the time, I wasn't there at the time but it feels so new. Some classic songs make an appearance that I very much enjoy and some deeper cuts kick ass. There is a marimba on this album. Wild. Love it, will come back for more.

Badass old-school flow and beats. Not a lyrics guy. Hard to follow but parts I caught were good. Good to know more than mass appeal. Give it 3.5 if I could.
Love the beat on meaning of the name

1989
Taylor Swift
This is a funny album for me. Back when it came out I remember the sentiment was this was the end for Taylor. She went pop and people weren't happy. But I've always liked the singles and radio tracks. This album hit at a spot in my life where it was ever present and I liked that. I was on a road trip blasting shake it off barreling down the highway and singing along. At the time idk of I listened to much more than metal. Out of the woods is the only real dud in the track list. That one gets an instant skip from now on but everything else is wonderful. I like singer songwriter Taylor more but pop Taylor has a place in my heart

Middle school days. This album rules. It's the best Linkin Park. It's been memed to death but that just shows its massive appeal to even newer generations. The b sides also kick ass. Meteora also is good but I'll take hybrid any day. This may be the quintessential rap rock album. Thanks boys

I like this album. It's a very soiled output from the heads. I do happen to be a remain in light junkie though. What an end to this album. Take me to the river brings back billy bass memories. And big country is just so good. Maybe when I'm in a head type mood I'll throw this one on to mix it up a bit.

Butterfly
Mariah Carey
Come on man. This album blows. I had this whole thing typed out and thought I'd soften up a bit but no. I don't like the vocal runs that litter every inch of the track list. She just cant stop with these God damn scales. And her voice sometimes has this little boy quality that I loathe. I will never come back to this. I do have a never ending hatred for her Christmas bullshit but maybe that was just cause that holiday sucks. No it's her 100%. Hate it. Congrats Mariah you get to be my 1st one star.

Beautiful Freak

This one is pretty good. I think starting off with novocaine for the soul is nice. Sets up what the hell I'm gonna listen to cause with this site you never really know what your gonna get. I liked Susan's house but I was so focused on where else I've heard that sample that I don't know how much I paid attention to it. And oooo baby when beautiful monster came on I was screaming "SHREKKKKK SHREKKKK" over and over again. Guest list may be my favorite song on here. Overall a pretty solid album. Saving a few tracks for later listens

Hard album to find cause I guess it's not on any streaming but thanks to illegal YouTube uploads I got it. This album is so very good. It feels like it's like a crowd of 10 or 15 people just sitting around listening to this musical traveler. He's got songs from all over and he's just the voice passing them on. Excellent all around

Prince feels like he's in 99 on this one. Decades above and beyond his competition. Funky as fuck and fun. There is a reason Prince is goated. The mfer just says all the ny critics just love him. Ballsy as a new artist. But like draining threes against Charley Murphy this is a swish

This had lots of good elements and some kinda eh ones. Scooby snacks was a gem to find. I like finding something I know sometimes. Good beats when they aren't too honky and even those are interesting at least. I love the keys all over this though. Some remind me of the doors who I love and some have a persona 5 thing. Ik jazzy music does not equal p5 but still. It brings me back to a really good time in life. High 3 star but I'll round up this time. Quality

On so I'm for sure not in the majority with this one but damn I don't get Beyonce. She has a nice voice but nothing else has any kind of appeal for me. It's just too popcorn nothingness. The music's good she's good but as a whole it's so unmemorable. I skipped the bonus material but the og album had nothing I could recall and I finished 2 minutes ago. It's not bad but I won't hit up the queen bee unless she has another one on here. Bye Felicia 2*

Aerosmith
I'm going in with a bad taste in my mouth cause I truely hate Steven Tyler's voice. Just loathe it. I was truly hoping to find some enjoyment in the instrumentals but even in that front Aerosmith totally drops thr ball. Everything is so simple and that hurts this record. Mixed with the overproduction it's just a recipe for some of the worst music I've heard in a while. Even with some all time classics like sweet emotion, and walk this way I still have zero interest in ever revisiting anything off this record. I hate it 1*

I'm not super well versed in the article mokneys catalog but with ny limited knowledge I would say this is just as catchy and nice as anything that hit the charts. But the other edge to that is it does not feel like they have grown or evolved at all either. Amd that bothers me. In 20 years there should be some decent change. Not saying you have to leave yr old fans behind but take them on a journey with you. More meta things aside I can't deny its a good listen. 3*

And it's not cause I'm "supposed" to like it. The Beatles in general have always been a part of my life. It's some of the first music I remember hearing and loving. Thanks family for that one.

OK so I was worried it would be a bit too much yoko. She's interesting but her whelps and screeches aren't all that pleasing. But this was nice. It pales in comparison to the white album i had last night but still very good. Nothing too crazy but solid little tunes all over this thing. Minimal and not too over produced. Just a nice singer songwriter record. It also has an atmos mastering so I listened to that which is nice. Not too many atmos versions of anything out there. A nice and enjoyable 3*

Dancing the night away. At least half. The dancier the tracks are the better they are. The more indie/rocky they are the less interesting they are. Give me a thumping backbeat and those sick falsetto vocals amd I'm very happy. The normal singing is less cool by far. Those tracks feel pretty standard. Some great bass grooves as well. I'd give a 3.5 if I could but too much is middling to round up here 3*
