Beauty And The Beat

The Go-Go's

3/5

easy listening i dont hate it, but i'm not in love with it either gets better the longer it goes on, i think i had to settle into their sound a bit before appreciating it

Sea Change

Beck

2/5

I don't know who this music is for but it's certainly not for me. Mostly bored

Kid A

Radiohead

4/5

got better as it went on. not used to random noise music but it was infinitely better than beck

Golden Hour

Kacey Musgraves

3/5

It's a weird country pop fusion. It was enjoyable. She's no TayTay but she's at least not beck

L'Eau Rouge

The Young Gods

2/5

the discordant strings were really interesting and the best part. I'm generally not a fan of groaning as a vocal technique which is sadly about all this dude was interested in doing. Sonically it was certainly entertaining to listen to but its definitely not making any playlists and I won't be revisiting. It's just too french. Skipped the live versions and remixes. I can't be bothered.

You've Come a Long Way Baby

Fatboy Slim

4/5

Finally, some good music. mieux que le français et le beck combinés

3/5

pretty decent, nothing jumping out as special. inoffensive to the ears

Mask

Bauhaus

2/5

pretty noisy and chaotic at times but not in the fun jazzy way. other times its just very boring and too reserved. The only consistent aspect was the vocals which I disliked the entire time. Take a fish And a potato Hold the fish And the potato In your hand In your hand Put the potato In the fish Make it digest it Smash it up Smash it up Smash it up Smash it up This is how you make fishcakes This is how one makes fishcakes Smash it up Poke it up Fishcakes Fishcakes Fishcakes Fishcakes

Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space

Spiritualized

4/5

Very pretty instrumentation, vocals were appropriate for the style and didn't sound like messy shit. Really pleasant to listen to, even the discordant and "noisy" bits. Probably not something I'd listen to again or regularly but really enjoyable the first time through. 4
