I like daft punk, but not this album. I know it’s their first so it’s gotta make the list, but I think the later stuff (discovery and human after all) is more creative and interesting.
I’m typically not excited by electronic/loop based music, but as far as that stuff goes they are probably the best.
Really found myself struggling to make it to the end of this one
I truly hate anything with a house music feel (Phoenix)

Some good time country songs but the 80’s digital country tones just aren’t the same as the old timey stuff

Little rock n roller is a truly horrible song. Sounds like something we would have to play at a wedding
Really not digging the twinkly 80’s piano on hillbilly highway
Any album with pedal steel is gonna get a decent rating at least.
But man everything sounds so bright and digital. I miss the warmth of old 60s country.

Deep Purple
I really wish I could hear this in context, it’s hard not to listen with modern ears. In 1970 this was probably great but it just sounds so generic to me.
The keyboardist sounds very educated
It’s hard not to compare any 70’s rock to zeppelin. I’m sure I’m gonna say that a hundred more times over the course of this activity. Child in time hits remind me of Achilles last stand. Really wild journey of a song. I love the insane ending. It sounds like they spliced the final hit.
Organs are sick, but the organ-heavy rock sounds so generic and dad-rock. ( granted they were probably some of the first to do it)

Live At The Witch Trials
The Fall
Accidentally wrote this review under GZA, so here is my GZA review:
I enjoyed the presentation of this album. I like how a lot of hip hop albums have these little interludes, it makes it feel truly like an album as opposed to a bunch of songs. That being said, it’s really hard for me to stay interested in songs when they’re loop/sample based. I know it’s all about the lyrics but I just automatically check out when the production is like that. I will say that for a hip hill album the production was a little more interesting than average and some of the chopped grooves were kind of cool. But ultimately it all just feels like background music to me. 2.7

It’s just so much and even though the playing is great it just always sounds a little stale and uninspired to me.

Crazy that the guitarist was fired and replaced in the middle of making this record.

Can’t believe we’ve had two Metallica records and they weren’t kill ‘em all or master of puppets. This was fun, some really cool riffs and grooves. Guitars sound amazing and huge throughout. love the solo on the title track and eye of the beholder. One is such a great song. Tempo changes were cool.
I wish the drums were also huge sounding. one thing that kills me about metal is the sample replaced drums, even though I don’t think Metallica did that much, they still kind of have that sound with the paper-y little kick drum. I dig Metallica but I feel like it all kinda sounds the same. Its cool to see how they kind of paved the way for newer metal and hardcore bands, and by comparison Metallica is pretty soft and palatable and even pretty at times.

Wow what a ride.
This is tough to rate objectively because it’s so ahead of it’s time. This must’ve been insane to hear in 1971.
It’s so jam packed, in the first like 20 seconds there are synths, organ, les paul style country guitar, rock guitar, jazz guitar etc.
Beginning sounds like Mario kart to me. I hate the bass tone in most of track one.
The end of track one made me lol.
The acoustic in the clap is really well done and the guitar tones are pretty good throughout. They really added every style of guitar to this record 😂
The trem-bass is cool and weird in starship trooper, But I don’t love that it’s panned to the left.
I like the rawness of some of the guitar tones.
This one is really testing my rubric, I feel like this objectively gets a 5 for arrangement and execution, but I don’t think I could listen to this again.

Everybody was so obsessed with this album when it came out and I just never really understood it. There’s nothing to dislike, it’s a very palatable record but I just think it’s so boring. I feel like it gets praised for its production, but I find it so underwhelming despite having every single engineer in LA and being recorded at EastWest. The credits list is absolutely stacked too, Andre 3000 and John Mayer on guitar, Charlie hunter, lalah Hathaway, Pharrell. But idk everything just sounds so flat and thin to me, and I don’t find his voice interesting at all.
Guitars sound horrible on this record somehow. all the synths/keys all sound like midi even though I’m sure they’re not.
I guess this is a three, but the disparity between how this sounds and how this should sound based on the credits is staggering

On paper they are so similar to led zep but it just does not work for me. It really sounds so stale and uninspired to me. It sounds like they needed to make a record and struggled to come up with any material.
The rhythm section is a huge part of that too. None of the individual elements of this record really stand out to me.

I like this album a lot, Atlantic City is a great song and I like state trooper too. It feels a lot like a concept album I even though I don’t think it’s intended as one. I like how raw it is compared with some of his higher production cheesier stuff. I’d love to hear the full band recordings from the vault.

I’m no huge fan of hers but I liked this more than I was expecting to. There are a couple light little fun time bops on the record but mostly I find her pretty underwhelming, especially her singing.

Fun to listen to and actuallly some really great moments instrumentally. His voice still kinda irritates me too much for me to fully enjoy the album but I think with a different singer would be a 4
