Interesting background. Original album tracks are... Alright.

Live / Dead

Grateful Dead

2/5

Had some good moments... The Grateful Dead still haven't clicked for me. Maybe I need to listen to the right performances. As an album, this one is not amazing. Inclusion of Feedback was a bad call.

Pretty wild.

Rust In Peace

Megadeth

3/5

Sounds very aged but hey it was listenable.

Lost In The Dream

The War On Drugs

2/5

The War On Drugs Spotify description: "The history of rock ’n’ roll is a story of splintering. Stop here for 10 seconds, and think: How many niches can you name without even trying, without having to pause for just a split second? They seem infinite and, already the better part of a century since rock’s bastard birth, still ceaseless, each new form defined by the mainframe’s perpetuity of flux. But over the last 15 years, The War on Drugs have steadily emerged as one of the mightiest counterweights to this endless division, reconnecting rock’s manifold hyphenates with an ardor and ease that suggest they were never split far apart in the first place..." The album isn't bad. But holy shit what a load of bollocks. Minus one star for that is fair I reckon.

I don't think this has aged well.

Naw this ain't it chief.
