Siamese Dream
The Smashing Pumpkins
Original notes deleted.
But immediately what I think of when somebody says “90s hard rock” but not in a bad way.
Enjoy how lots of songs build with long instrumentals but wish there was more of a pay off like on Soma which is the best song.
Overall can see the influence on lots of modern bands I love.

Californication
Red Hot Chili Peppers
An album where the sound is still distinctly Red Hot Chilli Peppers as i expected, but not in a bad way.
Ignoring my expectations of the band or the culture around them, it is clearly an enjoyable album 4 songs in.
Scar Tissue is clearly good and obvious why it was a hit.
I don’t care for the talk lyrics in the way they do it, it feels ska? is that correct? lol but overall it definitely is a good album and can see myself playing it on a road trip but not necessarily an add

Head Hunters
Herbie Hancock
I did not like this weird computer heavy influence over the jazz.
Some of it just sounded like weird video game music, too long and repetitive.

Marquee Moon
Television
Strong start, Friction and title track are very good could see them being adds after a second play through.
I guess I don’t really know what “post-punk” means but was expecting it to be a bit louder, shout-ier.

Glad to have listened to this album
all the way through but don’t think it has much replay ability for me out side of the big hits, which are very good.
The sound does seem to meld together a bit throughout the album but the song writing is good.

Penance Soiree
The Icarus Line
It’s okay, feels a bit generic, mostly don’t care for the singers voice very forgettable.

Baaba Maal
Interesting album some songs feel a bit long. Vocals are interesting but not for me. It’s fine but the 80s synth influence that creeps in I do not like.

LCD Soundsystem
Almost weird I don’t think I’ve actually ever listened to LCD sound system.
Strong start.
I don’t know what the influence point is, but I enjoy the similar sound to Parquet Courts.
It’s an add.
