Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space

Popular Reviews

The Stranger

Billy Joel

5/5

I'm a big fan of Billy Joel. This was my first introduction to Billy Joel when I was a child. Still embodies New York Romanticism to me. I love the balance of this album there's so many fun songs.

Justice

1/5

I don't know what to say about this, other than the fact that it was frightfully repetitive and dull as hell. This is a very poor attempt at I don't know what to call this abortion. They need to never pick instruments up again. ever.

Crooked Rain Crooked Rain

Pavement

1/5

I wish I could give this zero Stars. I I feel like they are trying to rip off The flaming lips and Jay from dinosaur Jr. That one song grabbed me. I found the whole thing to be trash and nearly unlistenable. I hope this is the worst that we get.

Pavement

1/5

Francis Albert Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim

Frank Sinatra

4/5

I'm a pretty big fan of Frank. I like the upbeat stuff he does a little better than this one but I did like this quite a lot. This quiet madness was probably my favorite song on this album. This will probably be in my regular rotation.

The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars

David Bowie

4/5

I first heard this album as a child and loved it greatly. There is so much emotion in this album. I really love Bowie's music,

The xx

1/5

I thought I liked them when I heard them before but as it turns out I'm not much of a fan of this album. Pretty dull nothing really grabbed me at all.

The Next Day

David Bowie

I like at pretty well. I sort of have to be in a mood for Bowie. There were a few notable songs. I liked it I think I'll be listening to it again in the future.

Chemtrails Over The Country Club

Lana Del Rey

3/5

I am a fan of Lana del Rey but I didn't care for this album. Felt kind of lackluster comparatively for the rest of her work. I like it as background.

A Walk Across The Rooftops

The Blue Nile

5/5

I really liked this album. Hadn't ever heard them before and was very pleasantly surprised. I'm going to spend some more time on them in the future. Those are refreshing sound. I really like musically how it moved and I do like the vocals. Very nice overall.

The Lexicon Of Love

ABC

4/5

OK Computer

Radiohead

5/5

I really love this album. I'm a big fan of Radiohead but this is a very good album. No surprise being one of my favorites along with all the popular ones. Thom has such a unique and enjoyable voice. They have such a great sound.

The Adverts

1/5

Typical boring repetitive punk rock. I do like his voice. Pretty painful listen.

Pretty good listen. I like Iggy's voice a lot. That iconic punk sound from New York. I knew a couple going in but I found a song that I like.

Little Earthquakes

Tori Amos

2/5

How is it never really a giant Tori Amos fan and now I remember why there's some weird little inflection in her voice that just is grating to me. I like the music and it's a pretty decent background album I was surprised by a couple of songs.

Oh man this is an old favorite! I wish I had a dollar for every time I played this. This is probably one of his best pieces of work.
