Brothers

The Black Keys

2/5

Pleasant listening but did not appear to be particularly inventive. Comes off as a blend between the Beatles and Raconteurs/White Stripes. Top songs: None

Overall, not particularly offensive or particularly enjoyable. Top song: None.

Music From The Penguin Cafe

Penguin Cafe Orchestra

3/5

Enjoyable and creative. Kept fresh with some unobtrusive genre bending. Top song: The Sound of Someone You Love Who's Going Away and It Doesn't Matter Bottom song: Penguin cafe single

Here's Little Richard

Little Richard

1/5

Its impact is undeniable upon listening, but in present context & through the lens of personal preference, each song appears to be an only slightly different version of the last, and the album ultimately falls flat with only Little Richard's clearly adept voice to lift it. Top song: none

Common

4/5

1999

Prince

3/5

Many of the lyrics and highly repetitive elements to the songs detract from the listening experience for me. The instrumental elements are enjoyable to listen to, particularly the less repetitive parts, and the artist's technical talents and passion are apparent. Bottom songs: let's pretend we're married, all the critics love you in new york

Elastica

2/5

My Generation

The Who

3/5

Chemtrails Over The Country Club

Lana Del Rey

3/5

How did she make the same song 11 times without them all actually being the same song?

Deja Vu

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

3/5
